Xinhua News Agency, Hangzhou, July 16 (reporter Gu Xiaoli, Zhang Xuan) walked into the Future Science and Technology City, Yuhang District, Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province. Several office buildings stand on both sides of the wide road, and the artificial intelligence town in the Future Science and Technology City is a busy scene. The dynamic entrepreneurial atmosphere has brought many entrepreneurs together to witness the rapid development of the intelligent manufacturing industry.
Qualcomm China Thunder Software Joint Innovation Center, Civil Unmanned Aviation Pilot Zone, Alibaba-Zhejiang University Frontier Technology Joint Research Center, China Academy of Information and Communications Technology 5G Research Center… In recent years, a large number of enterprises in the frontier technology field have settled in the town, and digitalization has become one of the development "engines" of these enterprises.
In the office building of Smart Town, a staff member showed reporters an intelligent bionic hand controlled by "thought", which uses brain-computer interface technology to convert data into instructions to help people with disabilities regain hand function.
"We focus on promoting the industrialization of digital technology, and we can quickly match the upstream and downstream of the industry." He Xiyujin, senior vice president of Qiangnao Technology, told reporters that the platform and ecology are very important for the development of intelligent manufacturing enterprises today. In the future technology city, they have been able to quickly find the most suitable application scenarios for new products in various industries.
"Such a highly flexible bionic hand allows friends in the medical community to see the infinite possibilities of the’cross-border ‘growth of intelligent manufacturing. In the future, the development of intelligent manufacturing technology will not be limited to factories in urban industrial areas. In various fields such as clothing, food, housing, transportation, science, education, culture and health, people will gradually feel the wonderful power of intelligent manufacturing." He Xiyujin said.
In Zhejiang, intelligent manufacturing has been integrated into the development of various industrial fields in recent years. Various high-quality cutting-edge technologies have deeply empowered thousands of industries, and a large number of components have been applied in "industrial brain" capability centers in various places. Many enterprises have also expanded new models such as platform design, personalized customization, and service extension in the use of intelligent technologies, and explored new forms of industrial organization such as "cloud factory" and "cloud production line".
Luban locks, Kongming locks, wooden puzzles… Wooden toys from a number of small and medium-sized enterprises in Yunhe County, Lishui City, Zhejiang Province can be booked and ordered in real time by international merchants in various regions of the world "without leaving home" in the exhibition hall of Ningbo Beifa Group. An Jiang, general manager of Beifa’s merchandise industry complex, said that the construction of the "Wenqi Cloud" platform has made business collaboration across 10,000 miles "just a click away".
"’Wenqi Cloud’ is a digital platform we have created in the stationery industry. Through this platform, Beifa has strengthened the technical cooperation between upstream and downstream partner companies in the industrial chain. The idea of Beifa Stationery Industrial Design Center is bringing new vitality to the production lines of more and more small and medium-sized enterprises." An Jiang said that since the beginning of this year, wooden toys have helped Cloud and small and medium-sized enterprises to expand their revenue by millions of dollars.
Driving more upstream and downstream enterprises in the industrial chain to achieve common development has become a common choice for many leading enterprises in the Zhejiang industry. Industry analysts believe that relying on the "industrial brain" to deepen the industrial chain and supply chain integration and coordination, strengthen the digital management and integration of design, procurement, logistics, manufacturing, sales and other links of business, and drive the digital capacity enhancement and industrial resource sharing of upstream and downstream enterprises in the industrial chain is the key to adding new impetus to the "digital and real integration" of intelligent manufacturing.
In the next step, Zhejiang will focus on "415X" advanced manufacturing clusters by promoting six main tasks such as digital transformation of the manufacturing industry, and empower the transformation of production methods, the restructuring of industrial chain organization, business model innovation and industrial ecology with "industrial brain + future factory".
