"Intelligent manufacturing brings not only the improvement of automation level to China's home appliance industry, but also the deep integration of informationization and industrialization, which creates an overall improvement in the manufacturing level and manufacturing efficiency of the entire industry." Jiang Feng, Chairman of China Household Electrical Appliances Association On July 20th, at the Summit Forum and Awards Ceremony of “Intelligence and New Era”, it was pointed out that promoting the transformation of the home appliance industry into smart manufacturing is of great significance for shaping the competitive advantage of Chinese home appliances.
Manufacturing is an important pillar of the national economy and a "national weapon." The Chinese home appliance industry is a typical representative of “Made in China”. As a professional magazine in China's home appliance industry, the Electrical Magazine magazine has launched a large-scale theme activity of “Finding the Smart Manufacturing Pioneer of China's Home Appliance Industry” since 2017. The “Electrical” magazine interview team has visited more than ten home appliances and upstream parts manufacturing enterprises. These companies, without exception, have upgraded manufacturing upgrades to the strategic level of corporate development. In this regard, Chen Li, editor-in-chief of "Electrical" magazine, said that these enterprises are only the epitome of China's home appliance industry to promote manufacturing upgrades. She introduced that this large-scale theme activity of “finding the pioneer of intelligent manufacturing in China's home appliance industry” is a continuation, looking for changes in the theme from “artisan spirit” to “smart manufacturing”. “We hope that through this large-scale theme event and summit forum, more companies can learn from their experience and make the road to future manufacturing upgrades more flat and more accurate.”
On the same day, the celebration sponsored by the China Household Electrical Appliances Association and sponsored by the "Electric Appliances" magazine was a phased summary of the large-scale theme activity of "Finding the Smart Manufacturing Pioneer of China's Home Appliance Industry". In the future, "Electrical" magazine will continue to look for more typical cases of intelligent manufacturing, and continue to successfully export and export successful experience for China's home appliance industry.
Wang Minyan, deputy inspector of the Consumer Products Industry Department of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, pointed out in his speech that promoting the high-quality development of the home appliance industry is the situation and task facing the home appliance industry. "We must be soberly aware that the demand for home appliances by Chinese consumers has gradually changed from satisfying basic needs to individualization, diversification, intelligence and high-end." Jiang Feng, Chairman of China Household Electrical Appliances Association It is believed that after 40 years of development, China's home appliance industry has accumulated a solid foundation in terms of manufacturing scale, manufacturing capacity, standardization level, and user resources, and has already established the conditions for promoting intelligent manufacturing. Today, China's home appliance industry has embarked on the road of upgrading from "manufacturing" to "intellectual creation."
On the same day, home appliance manufacturers from Haier, Bosi Home Appliances, Linnei, AO Smith, Whirlpool, Oaks, Fangtai, Boss, and upstream parts companies such as Huayi and Huangshi Dongbei also gathered together to discuss the transformation of China's home appliance manufacturing industry. upgrade. Chen Lucheng, vice president of Haier Home Appliances Industry Group, introduced the phased results of Haier's intelligent manufacturing transformation and upgrading. “Haier has built the COSMOPlat platform, which is an industrial Internet platform with China's independent intellectual property rights and the world's first user-to-process participation experience. COSMOPlat can transform large-scale manufacturing to mass customization and reshape the industrial value chain and ecology. Chain, empowering enterprises, users, resource parties, etc., to build a new manufacturing ecosystem that creates a win-win situation.” Chen Lucheng believes that the industrial Internet era is a rare opportunity for the manufacturing industry. If you can seize this opportunity to change lanes, China will achieve leadership in the world.
Foreign-funded enterprises are also accelerating the pace of "intellectual creation" landing in China. The Bosch (Chuzhou) Home Appliance Industry Park Dishwasher Factory, the Linne Shanghai Fengxian Factory, the A.O. Smith Environmental Appliance Global Research Base, and the Whirlpool Hefei Smart Factory are all excellent examples of intelligent manufacturing. Along with the acceleration of industrial upgrading, the unique "intelligence" concept is taking root in China's home appliance manufacturing industry. “In response to Industry 4.0, Bosch proposed a dual strategy. On the one hand, it has become a leading practitioner in the practice of Industry 4.0 in China; at the same time, it has actively promoted its experience in China and became an excellent supplier of Industry 4.0.” Bosch Internet Industrial Ecosystem 4.0 Ren Xiaoxia, project director, said, “Now the focus of Chinese manufacturing companies on smart manufacturing has changed from a few years ago. More and more manufacturing companies recognize that Industry 4.0 is the free flow of information, or the free flow of numbers. This is the real smart manufacturing.” Ding Wei, senior vice president of AO Smith Group and president of (China) Investment Co., Ltd., said that the concept of intelligent manufacturing is very abstract and abstract, but it’s the same. Innovation at the borders to increase efficiency, reduce costs, increase customer value and user experience.
