Industrial 4 these words have been abused in some extent, the original abstraction is not good enough, and later was added enough, so in 2013 or tall on the formulation in less than two years into many companies do not want to paste the label. I prefer not to mention it, and intelligent manufacturing of industrial Internet is the Internet, and civil difference is that communication is industrial, Apps intelligent manufacturing or manufacturing, but with the intelligent two words.

In manufacturing factory, automation production equipment has been popular. Once, equipment manufacturers to factory sales of automation equipment when unashamedly, because really can allow customers to see how quickly the automation equipment, efficiency is high, it is easy to calculate a return on investment account. However, so-called intelligent manufacturing technology provider is not so easy to convince customers and accounts (so I think Germany enterprise alliance proposed concept of industrial 4.0 in a hurry too early, time was not ready for prime time. Now the word has been used indiscriminate, regret it?)

MES Manufacturing, Execution System, manufacturing execution system, came out in 20 years of manufacturing operations management software (MOM). The purpose of it is to solve the automatic or quasi automated assembly line, many problems in the workshop information island brings -- because of the automatic device, between workshop and workshop, between departments no, the information integration between the various between workshop and office, so with the growth of enterprises, production equipment more and more and faster, operation pressure becomes more and more big.MES, is to connect the information island, the route through the software modeling various islands and between them, so as to realize the operation of information, listen to automation. It is wonderful? But the development of MES and the advent of almost the same period compared to the ERP, can be described as piaffe carry on. Why is this?

MES is manufacturing link it systems, the data and information obtained mainly from machinery and equipment, then this is field of industrial automation and has a deep involvement in the. ERP is enterprise management aspect of IT systems and data sources the main source in finger keyboarding, eliminating the need for a lot of technical problems.

But not to say that due to the field of industrial automation and is involved, MES is not developed, in fact, the key reason is the solution of the big suppliers have not been down to earth.MES giants, usually is the industrial product line includes giant industrial hardware products and industrial software product.MES, just one of its software products. Since it is the business of software. It is selling License (MES SaaS is still very rare). The industrial giant acquired software company, the purpose is not only to sell License, but hope that through a combination of solutions to promote its products sales. In this background, the solution to the advantage, it must be powerful, and do a good job market propaganda, let customers understand and accept that you have your truth. Add pictures, better illustrate this point.

If you do not put all the colors of the dots entirely hand over to the central system to deal with (for example: define the colors to distinguish colors, dots, stacked dots. ), but according to the actual situation in advance do some processing, then the situation is not the same, the central system does not need to be a strong and great brain. This idea is very interesting: first according to the dot color grouping, processing each color dots into a mold piece, with a little size the brain, used for processing power. If you need a two or N such integrated management module, then use a special color management module can be. In this way, the same is all different color dots, engineering cost, deployment flexibility, line speed, custom operation it will greatly improve the benefits. It is easy to understand: according to the actual needs of each incremental deployment module (to avoid buying not the case); investment return period to the module for unit evaluation, thus greatly Shortened (2 years) due to the load of each module is reduced, it is no longer required expensive IT infrastructure, and even the computer room and servers are not required, eliminating the need for expensive IT infrastructure means that the operation and maintenance costs are saved. As for the software, it is no longer necessary Apps, because each module is very independent and absolutely practical. Maybe someone will ask, so many modules, integrated to fly it? Do you know IT and ICT have been more mature yet?

Go back to the Internet industry, intelligent manufacturing topics. Each module is within the jurisdiction of the data, data reduction can be small, can also be a large mass of data, then assisted by Apps, or embedded in the module, or through the ICT equipment sent to the cloud, which has the characteristics of the industry of course, the Internet, Apps is the enterprise class. And how to realize the intelligent? It is difficult? Intelligence is based on data, data has been, so whether it is with Machine Learning or other algorithms can get some important rules. Use them as equipment operation and management according to the control system. Or, directly or indirectly, so as to realize the logical equipment, production lines, intelligent workshop.

(combining on-site distributed communication architecture is not new things, but the MES scattered and distributed communication architecture, it should be regarded as new technology! Ying Da Rui's team is dedicated to do this, regarded as the world's first to propose and build the solution of one of the manufacturers. (dare not with this two word). This module, we put it into the industrial level of small equipment, known as industrial data box. I believe in the near future, it will be like a civil intelligence box in the home, in the workshop gained popularity. You say?
