Not long ago, SIEMENS with digital enterprise products and solutions in the 2015 Industry Fair debut, and to move towards industry 4 - lead the digital enterprise process as the theme, showing the core elements of SIEMENS in the field of digital enterprise, philosophy, technology, products and success stories.

Worthy of note is that in late October of this year, Siemens has won the "coal chemical industry of Sedin Engineering Co., Ltd. and aluminum alloy automobile parts manufacturer CITIC Dicastal, to provide digital enterprise solutions.

According to SIEMENS (China) Co., Ltd. executive vice president, general manager of digital chemical plant Wang Haibin introduced in the SIEMENS digital business model of the Chengdu factory to visit, often have business people ask: can not directly to other companies to create a same digital chemical plant? Sigfusson always said with a smile: "the actual situation of each enterprise is not the same, and some can be directly jumped to industrial 4.0stage, and some may itself in 1.0, enterprises in the digital has not yet started, not suitable for is weak overall transformation."

"Impossible to bite into fat, completely intelligent to go through a process."As a result, Wang Haibin put forward four proposals to the industry.

First, manufacturing enterprises should be the introduction of digital enterprise software suite; second, enterprises must have industrial communication networks; third, since enterprise of a lot of things are digitized and put on the Internet, even into the cloud, speaking of the enterprise, quite in his life are in the computer, so information security particularly important; fourth, different industries of course the characteristics of different industries, known as the proprietary knowledge of the industry, based on proprietary knowledge to expand the work or service development.

For these four steps, Wang Haibin gives an analogy: "like a smart phone, how to enjoy the convenience of smart phones? First of all, we need to buy a mobile phone, now mobile phone system basically is IOS and Android. Different people have different preferences; the second step, buy phone bare metal useless, to meet China Unicom, China Telecom, mobile network; the third step, phone upload online bank, bank accounts and the like, is very important toinformation security; the fourth step. By this time you can use a variety of APP on the phone. "

Wang Haibin said, a company has several core departments: R & D products, planning production, logistics procurement, quality control of the production and manufacturing department and the management of machinery and equipment, production line operation and maintenance department. "To create a manufacturing enterprise into a digital chemical plant, the three departments can not rely on the original state of manual operation or human brain thinking, each department should have its own software tools."

Wang Haibin, for example, product design department to design the software platform for product design, computer platform, do scheduling, logistics, quality control department has its own software tools.

"Now, a lot of enterprises exist in these three departments, but these three departments in a certain extent is fragmented, the three departments to set up, like a gear box of three wheels, the three wheels need to bite each other." Wang Haibin judge.

But how to bite? Wang Haibin pointed out that the key words are data. Product development and production of a large number of data, in the procurement phase of a large number of suppliers of data, the production site to collect a lot of data in the manufacturing process, but the data and data is intrinsically linked. Therefore, the enterprise needs to introduce a data exchange platform, the software can be connected to the internal data exchange.

"What is the transformation and upgrading of the digital manufacturing industry? An obvious sign is that 5 to 10 years in the introduction of data exchange software manufacturing enterprises to increase the proportion of a substantial increase." Wang Haibin stressed.
