Digital Transformation, GETECH Assists in Creating 5G Era Smart Factory
On July 4th, AHTE 2019, the 13th Shanghai International Industrial Assembly and Transmission Technology Exhibition, was held at the Shanghai New International Expo Center. 500 companies from around the world gathered to attend this international event on smart automation and assembly. Concurrently, China Control Engineering Network held a seminar themed 'Innovation-Driven, Digital Upgrade----Smart Factory in the 5G Era'. Dr. Wang Jin from GETECH was invited to attend and delivered a keynote speech titled 'Empowering Digital Transformation, Making Industry Smarter'.
5G technology meets the application needs of wireless networks for smart manufacturing transformation in manufacturing enterprises and has become a key enabling technology supporting smart manufacturing transformation, capable of satisfying equipment interconnection and remote interaction application requirements in industrial environments. The development of 5G technology can help manufacturing enterprises break free from the previously chaotic application state of wireless network technologies and has positive significance for promoting the implementation of industrial internet and the deep transformation of smart manufacturing.
'Smart manufacturing is the process of enterprises climbing the digital slope,' Wang Jin explained, 'it is the process of transforming the uncertainty caused by manufacturing improvements into certainty.'
The core of smart manufacturing is the smart factory, which is one of the important application scenarios for 5G technology. 5G networks can seamlessly connect production equipment. Taking the industrial data collection application scenario as an example, 5G communication's high reliability (URLLC, supporting 99.9999% availability), low latency (5G is inherently a TSN time-sensitive network), and massive connectivity features (unauthorized spectrum sharing) perfectly meet the high standards and strict requirements of Dongzhi Industrial Application Intelligent Platform in industrial data collection and control systems.
Dongzhi Industrial Application Intelligent Platform not only has strong industrial field data collection and processing capabilities, flexible self-service industrial model building capabilities, but also built-in rich industrial data analysis and presentation capabilities. Through this platform, GETECH can help users quickly introduce new technologies, new business logic, and new systems, gathering massive data to form a powerful data-driven force.
Leveraging the high-speed 5G network and utilizing 5G's industrial characteristics such as TSN and URLLC, focus on the industrial field, collect energy efficiency-related data from key equipment manufacturing, production processes, energy supply, and other links, manage and analyze the relevant data, promptly detect energy efficiency fluctuations and abnormalities, and under the premise of ensuring normal production, adjust production processes, equipment, energy supply, and personnel accordingly to improve energy efficiency in production processes.
Under the connection of the 5G network, the smart factory becomes an application platform for various smart technologies. Smart factories are expected to combine with multiple advanced technologies in the future to maximize resource utilization, production efficiency, and economic benefits.
