Industrial Internet ushered in a full blowout! 91% of manufacturing companies have to transform

A few days ago, the State Council announced a heavy news that from May 1 this year, the value-added tax rate of my country's manufacturing industry will be reduced from the original 17% to 16%.

Although only one point has been reduced, for the manufacturing industry, there is no doubt that it can increase profits by about 240 billion yuan.

Of course, if manufacturing enterprises want to survive, it is more important to transform and upgrade themselves, and the "industrial Internet" should be a particularly important direction in the transformation.

According to surveys and predictions by market institutions, the market size of China's Industrial Internet will exceed 11.
3 trillion yuan in the next 15 years, and 91% of manufacturing companies plan to adopt Industrial Cloud and use Industrial Internet to transform traditional enterprises.
So, what exactly is the "Industrial Internet"? So, what exactly is the "Industrial Internet"?To put it simply, it combines the traditional manufacturing industry with Internet technology to realize intelligent production, which is "Internet + manufacturing.
"This definition covers at least 3 aspects:This definition covers at least 3 aspects:● One is the smart factory inside the enterprise;● The second is smart collaborative production between enterprises;● The third is greater integration with consumer Internet and social networks , Forming a super network.
Next, let’s take some dry goods and combine some cases of traditional enterprises to discuss with you the 4 essential elements for the transformation of the industrial Internet.
▲The four major models of China's industrial Internet ▲The first element of the four major models of China's industrial Internet is automation, which is what we often call "substituting machines for people.

"     There is a small factory that specializes in the production of "mouse traps", which are used to stick mice with strong glue on them.              
        The owner of this factory encountered a headache-workers demanded a raise all day long, and went on strike at every turn.
All the bosses say, the cost of the mouse trap is high and the profit is low.
How can it be done?
    He is not a student of engineering, but he went to the electronics market to find those electronic components and studied the structure of various machines.
Later, he discovered that the principles of inkjet printers could be applied to glue, so he found someone to get it.
An "automatic glue spreading machine" was used to replace the original group of workers who specialized in glue spreading.

    Later, he built an automatic board transfer machine, and even the workers who put the boards were fired.

    In such a small factory, "unmanned operation" has been realized, do you think God is not magical?
    Germans say that Industry 1.
0 is the era of machine manufacturing, Industry 2.
0 is the era of electrification and automation, Industry 3.
0 is the era of electronic information, and Industry 4.
0 is the era of information Internet of Things.

    In reality, many of our companies have not even reached 2.
0.
Perhaps you will have various reasons such as high replacement costs, ignorance of technology and R&D, but the soaring costs of labor, rent, raw materials, etc.
have already forced you Make a change.

    I have previously shared with you one of our corporate students from Shanren Information, named Zhu Yanglin.

    He originally made ordinary plastic products, but now his company does 3D printing, and it is second to none in the industry.

    Zhu Yanglin started by self-study.
He bought all the Chinese books related to 3D printing technology and read it.
Of course, he did not want to become an expert, but found the technical experts and talents in the book to get in touch and seek Cooperation.

    Machine substitution is a trend.
It definitely does not belong to large companies like Foxconn.
In such an era of open technology and resource integration, small and medium-sized enterprises can also try hard.
The second element is digitization, which is the core of the future competition of enterprises.

    According to the views of General Electric in the United States and some smart factories in Germany, three steps are required to realize the industrial Internet production design:
    ● The first is to collect various production data.
The method is to use and install a large number of sensors on the machine, so that the machine itself becomes more intelligent, this step is also called "intelligent embedding".

    For example, Shanghai Secco, a company that mainly produces ethylene, installs sensors on steam turbines, compressors, fans, pumps and other machines to obtain machine vibration, temperature, emissions and other data, so as to find out the hidden dangers of machine failures in advance.
Respond to maintenance in a short time.

    Such a work can recover more than 12 million yuan in unplanned downtime production losses every month.

    ● The next step is virtual design, which is to use as much software as possible to complete the original product design, sample manufacturing, performance testing, and even various simulations and simulations.
This is simply an artifact of product development, and it plays an important role in the entire product launch process.

    ● Only after virtualized design can we enter the automated manufacturing process.
The smart machine will follow the originally designed and simulated process for production.

    Many of us today are talking about "flexible production".
Without these three steps, flexibility would be difficult to achieve.
Let's take the example of Qingdao Red Collar to briefly explain:
    ● Red Collar collects various personalized requirements through the front-end sales platform, and then uniformly transmits them to the back-end database and stores them on a chip to form a data model.
This is the process of dataization.
;
    ● Then it will complete the clothing boarding on the computer and decompose it into independent processes.
This is the process of virtual design;
    ● Finally, it transmits instructions to the production line for modular and labelled production.
For example, every time a piece of cloth is cut by a red collar, workers will adjust the cutting method according to computer prompts to achieve personalized production. itubang.

▲Intelligent factory model output + personalized customized product direct sales platform The third element of constructing the Coolte intelligent ecosystem is process, which will bring small batches, personalized, and distributed production methods.

    Have you ever wondered why Apple does not have a workshop and does not produce a mobile phone, but it is so awesome?     The key is not that Apple has mastered the core technology.
The biggest reason is that it controls the processes of various manufacturing links.
It is the key design center of this industry chain.
    Specifically, a mobile phone can be divided into several fragmented components (that is, parts), and then fragmented into several processes.
    In the traditional industrial era, the combined cost of each process outside the enterprise is very high, but in the Internet era, Apple, as far away as the United States, can design production processes and carry out Internet remote control to turn different Chinese factories into a single link.
The workshop becomes its generation workshop.
    This is the fragmentation of industry and modularization of production.
    In the future, whoever can control the manufacturing process will be able to take the lead, greatly improving production efficiency and reducing costs.
This is what most manufacturing companies in China lack.
    Regardless of the supply chain production at the macro level, the internal production process of the enterprise is not fully understood at the micro level.
    For example, the standard software of the production enterprise is ERP, which is the enterprise resource management system.
It will organize the raw material cost, supply chain relationship, logistics and warehousing, sales order and other information, which is equivalent to the real-time physical examination report of the enterprise, and the data reflects the enterprise Of various vital indicators.
    It sounds like this system is very powerful, but its functions are still far from meeting the production needs of an enterprise.
For example, it can’t manage production.
For example, the supply chain, production, warehousing and other links are fragmented, forming data islands with each other.
There is no way to predict and coordinate management.
        At this time, we also need some other information systems, such as manufacturing execution system (MES system), warehouse management system (WMS system), etc.
, so as to get through all the links and form a set of production network.

    It is also under this information system that companies like Qingdao Red Collar Group and Weishang Furniture can transform their customized models.

▲Enterprises need to get through the system to form a production network.
The fourth element is flattening, which is a necessary organizational model in the industrial Internet era.
The fourth element is flattening, which is a necessary organizational model in the age of the industrial Internet.
    The reason is not difficult to understand.
The information of the Industrial Internet is highly transparent.
It requires information exchange and collaboration within and between enterprises.
In this case, a rapid response, dynamic and balanced organization and management model is required.
    In the book "Industrial Internet", two organizational models in the Internet era are mentioned:     ● The first is to adopt hierarchical management of business divisions.
Representative companies include GE in the United States and Alibaba in China.
    Its characteristic is that the CEO of each business unit has high decision-making power, and then the management level should be compressed and streamlined as much as possible.
For example, GE in the Jack Welch era only had 6 management levels.
    ● The second type is a product manager-oriented organization model, representing companies such as Apple, Xiaomi, and Google.
For example, Xiaomi has 7 founding partners, and the management level is only 3 levels.
Every core backbone and outstanding engineer may become the team leader and make quick decisions.
    Having said so much, let's summarize one sentence: The essence of the Industrial Internet is actually to connect people, data, and machines to achieve high-efficiency production.
    This is a systematic project, and the long road requires us to work hard together.
