"Now a lot of people say intelligent manufacturing, that is, to buy a lot of automation equipment, is the introduction of robots on the production line. The robot is not equal to intelligent manufacturing, automation and automation, may the good enterprise down." Zhu Hai electric global executive vice president, Schneider, President of China, in June 21st Schneider innovation and opening day keynote speech published the above views.

He believes that the core of intelligent manufacturing is not a robot, it is the core of the production equipment interconnection. "I think the essence of intelligent manufacturing is to open the black box in the manufacturing process, to see all the things that are invisible. And can not be mistaken for the procurement of intelligent equipment." Zhu Hai said.

As a global electrical giant with the United States GE, SIEMENS of Germany and Switzerland ABB par Schneider, mainly to provide electrical equipment and automation solutions for the enterprise. According to Schneider's idea, the intelligent manufacturing system is divided into three layers, namely: equipment layer (refers to the intelligent monitoring and control equipment), system layer (including local control power monitoring system, machine and process automation system) and enterprise layer (which in enterprise applications based on cloud).

In the "made in China 2025" strategy, China's manufacturing enterprises are actively promoting the production line to the direction of intelligent manufacturing upgrade. "We suggest that intelligent manufacturing must first medical drugs and capabilities," said Zhu Hai, not for enterprise automation and automation, not to do intelligent manufacturing to establish the project, "if one of the payback period of the project cannot be controlled in less than three years, or through the intelligent manufacturing to production efficiency I think the promotion is not necessary. The lack of return on investment costs, even 30%, may also take a good business to collapse."

After a downturn in China's macroeconomic situation in 2015, the next few years, Schneider electric in the Chinese market will be mainly from intelligent manufacturing force. The other two key areas are:

Promote cross-border cooperation and collaborative innovation. For example, in 2014 Schneider and gas business new Austrian Group established a joint venture - new intelligent energy systems control limited liability company, to jointly develop distributed energy and micro grid market.

Continue to invest in innovation. "We have set up a fund, through equity investment, to participate in more SMEs to". Zhu Ming said.
