The word "intelligent manufacturing" is a little new. It seems that it has nothing to do with us, and we seldom contact with relevant industries.Those of you who are engineering students, those of you who are in the field of industrial production may be familiar with it, but why has it changed our lives?Let's walk slowly.

From the core technology of intelligent manufacturing, it can be boiled down to big data, Internet of Things and cloud computing.Well, you've definitely heard about it. You watch TV and talk about it all the time.

1. Big Data

Big data has indeed infiltrated our lives. For example, if you go on the Internet and something pops up in the advertisement next to you is "underwear, condom, toy" or something like that, hahaha, then obviously everything you read on the Internet has something to do with it.

It's called AD Drop, and it automatically collects and analyzes your online history and feeds you relevant ads based on what you watch.

It belongs to the big data marketing, though we ourselves may doesn't matter, but for many companies, is really a good thing, through collecting information gathered hundreds of millions of people across the country, know t consumers like what, want to buy what, it will show you what, save money more easy, do not want to be a hot day, cold snow took to the streets in a personal to ask, that's too OUT.

2. Cloud Computing

Cloud computing? The name means "cloud". So how does cloud computing work?
In the past, people needed a large number of hard disks to store data, so they could not view and use data anytime and anywhere, and the portable USB flash drive was not enough to store data. Now, they can use "cloud storage" to store data in the network cloud, enabling you to use data remotely anytime and anywhere.On the other hand, traditional intelligent manufacturing enterprises need to equip each factory with a large number of computing servers, with high cost and low computing power.With today's "cloud computing", users can call servers remotely from around the world, saving time, effort and money.

Intelligent manufacturing requires high-performance computers and network infrastructure. The application of big data analysis system can automatically collect and analyze data in the production process, and control on-site equipment through cloud computing.In addition to the network memory and server mentioned above, these devices need a portable high-performance terminal for remote management and control.

Anyone who has ever worked in a traditional industry must know that it is really too slow for a company to carry out a plan only after meeting every day to discuss, travel on a business trip to investigate, refer to feasibility, hold a meeting and manually calculate profits.But today, users can use a high-performance laptop, use the aforementioned "network memory and server" remotely anywhere there is a network, hold huge amounts of data in real time, have billions of calculations per second, and get the best and most appropriate results in a split second.

However, the laptop with better performance on the market is bulky and bulky, which is inconvenient to carry around. Users need to go back to the company to deal with events when they are away from home, so their efficiency is low.However, the low performance, though light and portable, cannot meet the needs of supporting many industrial software, and the poor battery life will make the power will be cut off in a short time, which will spoil the work.
With a small laptop, efficient decisions can be made in different places, fundamentally improving the flexibility of the enterprise.To realize intelligent manufacturing, enterprises must use big data, including data acquisition, data management, order management, intelligent manufacturing, customized platform, etc., to be fully applied.So as to help enterprises to improve marketing pertinence, reduce production investment risk.In addition, the analysis of big data can greatly improve the efficiency of storage, distribution and sales, reduce the cost and optimize the whole supply chain.

3. Internet of Things

If cloud computing is the brain, the Internet of things is the nerve centre.It connects any item through the network to realize intelligent identification, location, tracking, monitoring and management.To put it bluntly, the express information we use now is also the Internet of Things.

The Internet of Things has several key technologies: sensor technology, RFID tags, embedded system technology.These technologies of the Internet of Things can flexibly create "transparent production, digital workshop and intelligent factory" for customers, reduce manual intervention, improve the overall cooperation efficiency of factory facilities and improve product quality consistency.

Traditional manufacturing enterprises do not know the operation of equipment in the production process, and can only judge by experience. They do not stop for repair or even replace the equipment until it is damaged, resulting in very high shutdown loss, equipment loss and time loss.For equipment, goods transportation process is not controlled, easy to lead to accidents.

Today's intelligent manufacturing industry operates a large number of industrial equipment, thanks to the deployment of the industrial Internet of Things, making more accurate data manufacturing process, decision-making improvement possible.It also enables real-time and predictive maintenance of production equipment using data collected from devices and sensors on the network.

With the Internet of Things technology, product faults can be identified through real-time perception of data, and all factors in the production process can be accurately controlled, so as to truly realize intelligent production.
Master big data, through the Internet of Things and the practical application of cloud computing, to achieve intelligent high-speed development of enterprises.
