Since 2018, McKinsey and the world economic forum have jointly selected industry 4.0 "lighthouse factory" in the global scope. Currently, 26 enterprises have been selected, six of which are located in China. These enterprises actively embrace the latest technology, improve the traditional production system, innovate the design value chain, and play a role as a benchmark for the entire manufacturing industry. However, for most domestic manufacturing enterprises, especially small and medium-sized enterprises, how to reduce costs, improve design and sales competitiveness with the help of high-tech such as Internet of things, cloud computing, big data and artificial intelligence, so as to resist various risks in the current complex environment is always a problem.
Through thousands of low altitude flight services and surveys of manufacturing enterprises, Netease industrial application team found that the main difficulties faced by the current manufacturing industry include but are not limited to: the low degree of digital connection of equipment, resulting in untimely data collection and opaque on-site production process; the traditional production collaboration mode caused management black hole, affecting production efficiency and quality; and the construction of quality system Imperfect, product quality can not be guaranteed; lack of digital model, manufacturing technology and industrial knowledge, experience, methods, etc. can not precipitate. Especially for the small and medium-sized enterprises, which often face the pressure of multi varieties, variable batches and fast delivery, these problems will always be in a passive state in the competition if they do not solve them.
Netease stands out from the crowd with high and new technology
The dilemma often contains opportunities. The industrial Internet has become the next main battlefield of high-tech gathering, and also the highland that major Internet companies are competing to occupy. After the baptism of the consumer Internet, their application of technology has been perfected, but their involvement in the industrial Internet will still be questioned. Because the industry field has its unique mechanism and process, how to integrate technology and industry characteristics perfectly needs rich practical experience. Therefore, Netease, as one of the few Internet companies in the industry, is particularly prominent. In the secondary industry, Netease has been involved in the field of industrial manufacturing, and has become a model of intelligent manufacturing for product design, production and sales.
Implant lean thinking, insight into management black hole, and realize collaborative intelligent manufacturing
It is also based on the practical experience of strict selection mode in the field of industrial manufacturing, as well as Netease's many years of Internet technology development, Netease precipitated a complete CBA + IOT (cloud computing + big data + artificial intelligence + Internet of things) technology, and through the "fast wind" industrial intelligence platform, it provides a complete industrial Internet solution for manufacturing enterprises.
According to the introduction of Netease's industrial application team, "implant lean ideas, insight into management black holes, and realize collaborative intelligent manufacturing" are the three core problems that Netease's "fast wind" industrial intelligent platform is committed to solving at the manufacturing end. Based on this concept, Netease currently provides different solutions at different enterprise ends, including providing small and medium-sized enterprises with digital transformation tools, providing industrial Internet platform technology to group enterprises, and providing cooperation solutions to system integrators.
For example, the imaster application hatched by Netease's "fast wind" industrial intelligent platform pays attention to the management black hole, collaborative manufacturing and lean production concepts of small and medium-sized micro enterprises, integrates big data algorithm and Internet IT technology, which is different from the traditional MES or simple cloud, makes the system think, supports decision-making with data, and provides effective means for the digital transformation of enterprises. The head of a discrete manufacturing enterprise said that one of the benefits of using Netease's "fast wind" industrial intelligent platform is the transparency of management. Every employee can take out his / her mobile phone to find out how much money he / she has made today, and every employee can know the progress of all relevant personnel in each production task, so as to stimulate the enthusiasm of employees and speed up the internal and inter departmental Collaborative efficiency. This benefits from the production data collection and processing ability of the platform, which makes the enterprise improve the visualization and traceability of production process.
It is the "basic skill" of Netease's "fast wind" industrial intelligent platform to make the equipment speak and the factory think. IOT has subverted the traditional access mode and made discrete processing easier; it has penetrated into the process level data access to tell managers how to make data produce value; in the field of PLC, frequency converter and motion control equipment, it has made every equipment become intelligent. It is reported that Netease is also expanding its ecological partners. The Netease cloud creation summit will officially announce the establishment of "fast wind" intelligent manufacturing IOT alliance.
