Chapter 243 The Core of Intelligent Manufacturing 1
On December 2025, 12, a royal blue suit was delivered to Wu Hao's office. It took 16 days from placing the order to receiving the goods, but the result was not satisfactory.

Wu Hao tried on the suit and felt pretty good, but in some small details, it can still be seen that the production process is immature, such as the position of the buttons is slightly off, the seam is not properly processed, resulting in deformation of the line outline and so on.

However, as a sample produced for the first time, it is already a victory to successfully complete the production process.

"Gu Fan, is the production delayed for so long because of supply chain problems or imperfect equipment?" Wu Hao wanted to know what the problem was.

There are many links involved in this project, and we need to calm down and adjust each item without haste.

"There are two aspects. The most unexpected thing is the problem caused by the cooperation between the machine and the human." Gu Fan explained.

"Illustrate with an example!" Wu Hao needed to visualize the problem.

"For example, in the test area, the master we hired gave us a set of operation plans, and he used it very smoothly. But once the equipment is handed over to other masters, there will be many details that need to be adjusted. This is not suitable, that It was not suitable, and in the end, it had to be re-adjusted to make another set of operation plans. When the next master got it, the original two sets of plans were not suitable, which is really frustrating!"

Gu Fan expressed his troubles. Customized clothing products are not purely industrialized production, but are closer to the production method of handicrafts, which is very different from the fixed production mode of the assembly line.

This brings up a very troublesome problem. For each master, the scheme of artificial intelligence optimization equipment is different, the amount of programming code is greatly increased, and the design cost is high.

"Gu Fan, what do you think of my first work, the intelligent store management system for western restaurants, how intelligent is it?"

Wu Hao did not answer the question directly, but turned the topic to another direction, and the answer to the question would often appear elsewhere.

"The degree of intelligence is very high, and the data in the whole process of food production is transparent, which can greatly improve production efficiency."

Gu Fan gave a very high evaluation.

"Do you think that the smart store management system for western restaurants belongs to smart manufacturing? Why is it impossible to promote this system in Chinese restaurants? Why is there no smart manufacturing plan for Chinese restaurants until now?"

Wu Hao asked three questions in a row, pointing to the point.

"Western restaurant smart store management system, of course, belongs to smart manufacturing; as for why Chinese food cannot promote this system, it is because there is no way to standardize ingredients, tastes, and production processes; there is no way to standardize production, and naturally a lot of manpower is required. Everyone thinks This problem is difficult to solve, so no one wants to challenge this field.”

Gu Fan gave his own answer.

Wu Hao stood up from his chair and started pacing back and forth in the office.

"Gu Fan, the global manufacturing industry is moving from Industry 3.0 to 4.0 era. It is characterized by the deep integration of new generation information technology and advanced manufacturing technology. New intelligent manufacturing technology has become the core driving force of this new industrial revolution. It is It is a human-machine integrated intelligent research and intelligent system composed of intelligent machines and human experts, which can perform intelligent activities in the manufacturing process, such as analysis, reasoning, judgment, conception, and decision-making.”

"Through the cooperation of humans and intelligent machines, to expand, extend and partially replace the mental work of human experts in the manufacturing process. It updates the concept of manufacturing automation and extends it to flexibility, intelligence and high integration."

"The reason why smart manufacturing is a historical opportunity is not only because it can make the cost cheaper than labor, because smart manufacturing is not a cost-oriented cost-effective production problem in essence, but a kind of production that follows market trends. way of changing."

"This change in market trends is because enterprises must adapt to the trend that product life cycles are getting shorter and shorter and consumer needs are becoming more and more personalized if they want to survive in the future."

"Enterprises that can survive in the future must be able to produce personalized products with the time and cost of mass production. Only by following the industrial trend of intelligent manufacturing can we truly solve the problem of industrial upgrading."

"To put it bluntly, what the market needs is the shortest delivery time, the best quality, the lowest price and the best service! Such "abnormal" market demand will leave no room for enterprises that only adapt to large-scale production , unless you can switch to an agile and data-based intelligent manufacturing track.”

"We can no longer use the thinking of Industry 3.0 to solve the problems of Industry 4.0. Industry 3.0 has already raised the efficiency of mass production to the extreme. Industry 4.0 is to use the ultimate efficiency to solve the problem of product customization. Do you understand?"

After talking so much in one breath, Wu Hao needed to know if Gu Fan understood what he meant, so he stopped and let Gu Fan digest the information first.

"But mass production can have a standardized production process. Once the process is broken, how can the efficiency be guaranteed?" Gu Fan was a little anxious. He had read Wu Hao's statement in some documents, but he didn't agree with it.

"Whoever says that the process is broken, it is impossible to be efficient! Let me give you an example, such as Internet celebrities training smart dolls and letting them perform scene dramas together. There are many Internet celebrities, and the amount of qualified works produced per unit time will It is very large; in the past, the output of works was small because there were few professional performers; now through manual training, the amount of performers has been increased, which indirectly improves the performance level of smart dolls, and the production efficiency will naturally increase, right? ?”

Wu Hao began to gradually guide Gu Fan to understand the direction of future industrial upgrading.

"This" Gu Fan seemed to have realized something, but he didn't understand it thoroughly, he was thinking about it there.

"Gu Fan, let me tell you another piece of theory to help you clear things up."

"Intelligent manufacturing seems to be very high-end, and most people understand it as equipment automation, production transparency, logistics intelligence, management mobility, and decision-making data. However, although intelligent manufacturing is essentially a leap in production methods, in practice At the operational level, it is necessary to abandon cross-thinking and let intelligent manufacturing endogenously emerge from the previous management foundation of the enterprise."

"Because intelligent manufacturing is not simply transplanted, it is gradually endogenous from the level of enterprise management, employee quality, training system, etc., intelligent equipment and efficient information support system within the enterprise."

"Whether it is the decentralization of production, the efficient integration with partners, or the customization and agility of internal production, it is inseparable from the original management foundation."

"That is to say, the level of intelligent manufacturing is still determined by the management level of the enterprise. However, in order to adapt to this change trend, the original management foundation must now be transformed and upgraded."
