Three Diagrams to Understand How Artificial Intelligence is Applied in Factory

Siemens Intelligent Manufacturing Solution

The digital twin scheme proposed by Siemens is to simulate the factory digitally through software, and to analyze and make decisions on production and experience management through data. From the bottom equipment to data acquisition, equipment control, to manufacturing execution system mes, warehousing, asset logistics, to ERP and supply chain management, it seems that the production management process of enterprises is involved. But the problem of enterprise management and customer intelligence has always been the weakness of Siemens, there is no plan. And in Siemens factory intelligent solutions, ERPSCM is cooperated with sap, MES is purchased, PLM is purchased, but the brand is Siemens, background data and architecture design belong to different manufacturers and thinking modes. So the problem of Unicom has been difficult to solve for a long time. Software can't be connected directly for a long time. Information can't be shared effectively. More importantly, Siemens software and hardware are thieves, especially those sold in China. That's all right. Operational maintenance is also thieves. Many interfaces are not developed for external software and equipment. How can Siemens with closed management and the new era of shared economy in China? Can it merge?

UFI Intelligent Manufacturing Solution

After looking at UFI's intelligent manufacturing solutions, I think this is an outstanding representative of Chinese-style management model. From production to factory scheduling, from intelligent management to industrial interconnection, and then to big data analysis, the bottom is also equipped with an industrial Internet platform, which can connect Chinese factories from equipment to cloud, and is more practical and perfect than Siemens in terms of solutions.

The author has also served as a friend, according to his understanding of the depth of the analysis:

Advantage

1. UFI's solution is relatively economical for Siemens.

2. UFI's most economical solution for domestic industry in terms of ERP-based management software

Disadvantages:

1. Software is both an advantage and a disadvantage. Owing to the lack of experience in device-level intelligence, many users can solve problems through devices. UFs usually use software to solve problems. So a current situation is that the software deployment of enterprises is too heavy and many links need to be solved by software. It is very valuable in enterprises with weak informatization. But there is also a problem. Enterprises now have too many software. Software has become a burden on people. Software should be used in office, production and marketing.

2. UFriends have made a lot of efforts in deploying the cloud, but the core of the cloud is computing power and computing speed. This is not the advantage of UFriends. The ability of cloud computing to accumulate UFriends is far behind Tencent, Baidu and Ali. This is hard power.

3. Although UFI's digital marketing implants a lot of software, the marketing is changing. Once you use software to do too much control marketing, it will lose vitality. Internet end marketing is the ability of users to operate, which users have no experience to export.

How should software develop in the future era of artificial intelligence?

Industrialization and informationization are the focus of the industrial economy development of the whole country in recent 10 years. However, excessive informationization has become the core problem now. It is lack of industrialization and excessive informationization. Enterprises have a lot of software, and the personnel of enterprises are now overburdened by the software of various manufacturers.

Look at the positioning of software in the new era of intelligence: low-end equipment puts forward production support, through the cooperation of robots and traditional equipment, people to achieve maximum production efficiency. The greatest function of software is to perform multidimensional logical operations on the information obtained. But a lot of information is filled with software, and the data in the software background will become more and more heavy, which is the reason why the software is becoming slower and slower.

At this time, the intelligent platform will emerge as the times require, to reduce the burden of software, software and hardware can be combined, especially the relatively fixed software and data implanted into the chip to the device, so that the device can operate the software like human beings, self-learning. The software needs to communicate with people, provide critical control information on the cloud platform, and control decision-making through human-computer interaction as fast as Chatrobot. At this time, the speed of dialogue is the core competitiveness. Let the software concentrate on its own logical operations and data extraction, don't be so tired.

So software will disappear in the future, not without software, but software running silently behind the back. In addition to using mobile phones to manipulate key execution points and obtain key data, the rest of the smart bar!

Artificial intelligence is to make devices, software, data and people have the same wisdom as intelligent people and bring their value to the extreme.
