" Huawei Hongmeng is mainly used in industry" attracted attention
On July 18, Huawei Director and President of Public and Government Affairs Department Chen Lifang at a roundtable discussion in Brussels Said, "Hongmeng operating system has actually been (developed) for many years. It is not designed for mobile phone operating systems, but for industrial systems. Its main feature is that the latency is very low, from millisecond level to sub-millisecond level. The second feature is It is extremely safe, very secure, and its architecture is very advanced... but it is not used for mobile phone operating systems." Huawei insiders confirmed the news to media reporters. Experts analyze that in the industrial field, Huawei's advantages and opportunities are reflected in 5G.
Chinese-style "machine substitution": New dividend, or Pandora's iron box?
Regarding the future of robot development, should robots be the center and workers be under the control of technology, or should we develop a human-centered human-machine collaboration mechanism? , still depends on the arrangement of social systems and the formulation of public policies. How the social system is arranged will also affect future wealth distribution, because it is foreseeable that wealth will increasingly flow into the hands of machine holders or other capital holders. How does
make money? Industrial Internet platform providers encounter "soul torture"
"To survive or not?" For industrial Internet platform providers, this is the most painful "soul torture" at present. Over the past year or so, my country's industrial Internet has sprung up one after another. According to incomplete statistics, there are currently hundreds of industrial Internet platforms in the country, but the profitability of most platforms is worrying.
The 2019 South China Intelligent Manufacturing Forum Guangzhou Station was successfully held
Industrial software delivers manufacturing value
In addition to traditional hardware such as PLC, PC controller, HMI, motion control, flexible conveying system, and vision, it is software that truly allows them to exert change, responsiveness, and competitiveness. , whether it is the flexibility of the machine or the flexibility of the production line, it can be realized based on software. Clearly, automation is already a software industry!
Why is 90% of the data collected by your factory useless information?
“90% of the data we collect is garbage,” the owner of a factory in Kunshan, Jiangsu lamented, “We collected data almost every moment of the 365 days last year. But I don’t know how to use it. Compared with the various expenses invested in collecting data, I think it is not worth it.” One year of data collection experience made the boss lose his initial enthusiasm for the industrial Internet, and even developed a passion for it. This question arises: Do we really need a large amount of industrial data currently?
Cross-border layout of industrial robots, industry leaders have great ambitions
For industry leaders such as Midea, Gree, Country Garden, Wahaha, Foxconn , in other industries When it is difficult to break through their own stock market, they have attacked the incremental robot market in order to seek rapid breakthrough. The crossover of these industry leaders has the same purpose. On the one hand, they are crossing borders to promote the efficiency and growth of their traditional businesses and upgrade the industry; on the other hand, they are developing their own diversified businesses to seize new development heights. And across borders.
Will smarter industrial software put engineers out of work?
If one day, industrial software used by enterprises can automatically turn engineers' ideas into sketches, add structures, perform three-dimensional modeling, simulation verification, and even select processing methods, will a large number of R&D engineers be unemployed? Fortunately, this is just an imagination and will not happen for the time being. However, "machine substitution" has been implemented for many years, and the promotion and application of automation and intelligent equipment, as well as the replacement of humans, including robots, are also constantly occurring. Technological progress has made changes in traditional positions inevitable, and engineers may need to prepare for a rainy day. Is
new manufacturing a scam or a trend?
At the 2018 Yunqi Conference, Jack Ma re-proposed new manufacturing and took it to a new level. However, Jack Ma’s proposal was opposed by manufacturing giants at the time. Terry Gou firmly believes in manufacturing and refutes Jack Ma's new manufacturing-oriented service orientation with "two agrees and one strongly disagrees" and "a gathering of ants cannot defeat an elephant"; Ren Zhengfei even used the sentence "Hoes are for farming." "You can't show off your hoe and forget about farming" to express his position. So, is the new manufacturing real or fake?
G should be integrated with industry in the direction of incremental innovative applications.
Zhu Yiming, chief engineer of Beijing Hollysys Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd., raised a question: "(5G in industrial scenarios) is it an incremental application, or is it a replacement for existing applications? ?” This question sounds simple, but it is extremely complex because of the complexity of industrial networks. There are dozens of international standards for industrial Ethernet communication protocols. If the communication protocols of different vertical industries are counted, the number will be even greater. Therefore, to use 5G to replace existing network applications, it is necessary to unify the network protocols between devices, which is very difficult. But if you are doing incremental applications or innovative applications, 5G will make it easier to access.
ISA announced the founding members of the Global Cybersecurity Alliance
The overall operation of the industrial economy in the first half of the year is stable and making progress, and the high-tech manufacturing industry has performed well.
From the data in the first half of the year, the added value of the high-tech manufacturing industry increased by 9%, a growth rate that was 3 percentage points higher than that of the entire manufacturing industry. The added value of strategic emerging manufacturing industries increased by 7.7%. Investment in manufacturing technological transformation increased by 13.1%, a growth rate that was 10.1 percentage points higher than that of all manufacturing investment. New energy vehicles, urban rail vehicles, service robots, 3D printing equipment, high-end medical equipment, and biomedicine all maintain high growth rates.
The Internet service industry is robbing people, and it is difficult for traditional manufacturing companies to recruit and retain workers.
The profession of industrial workers is increasingly marginalized. The "white-collar" and "elite" value orientations in the guidance of public opinion make the industrial worker group seem to be marginalized. ignored. Nowadays, if a city child becomes a worker, he will arouse doubts around him. These phenomena are marginalizing this group in China's traditional "labor is the most honorable" group.
