Chapter 845 Industrial Revolution 4.0, Starts with Nanshan Equipment

The concept of Internet+ is very hot these days.

In particular, the leaders of relevant departments have mentioned this word on several occasions, and then after the news broadcast of Huaxia TV on the leaders' speeches on Internet + was specially broadcast, the popularity of this word was even higher.

What really pushed this word to the hot word of the year was the release of the "Guiding Opinions of the Government Council on Actively Promoting the "Internet +" Action".

This guidance mainly focuses on "Internet+", aiming to promote the deep integration of the innovative achievements of the Internet with various economic and social fields, and further promote social development.

The overall idea is to conform to the development trend of the world's "Internet +", give full play to the scale and application advantages of the Chinese Internet, promote the expansion of the Internet from the consumption field to the production field, accelerate the improvement of industrial development level, enhance the innovation ability of various industries, and build new advantages and new momentum for economic and social development.

Many of the ideas in this are very close to Cao Yang's interview on Huaxia Channel.

The speech of the richest man in the world, the official endorsement, no one in the land of China will question the correctness of Internet +.

Not to mention that many people in the Internet industry have begun to start businesses around Internet +, even in the physical industry, everyone is thinking about how to unite their enterprises with Internet +.

Especially those listed companies, they are even more eager to make which of the company's projects be linked to the Internet +, so that the stock price can be stimulated, and maybe a price limit will come out.

As for the cost of these projects, they are nothing at all in the face of rising stock prices.

"Mr. Cao, combined with the very popular Internet + concept at this time, all kinds of companies are looking for an entry point suitable for themselves."

"We also held several seminars within Nanshan Equipment to discuss how to integrate this concept with our company."

Pan Jinxing asked Cao Yang to make an appointment for an hour to report on the new ideas of Nanshan equipment.

The idea has been in the works for a week and is ready to be officially launched.

"Looking at you like this, it seems that you have found an entry point?"

Cao Yang was really a little curious about what surprises Pan Jinxing would bring to him.

The equipment industry can also be regarded as the core industry of the Nanshan system.

Even today, Nanshan Equipment is still a very core enterprise in the Nanshan system, and there is no problem even saying that it is the most core existence.

"We are ready to promote the concept of Industry 4.0 in Huaxia, so that Nanshan Equipment will become the pioneer of Industry 4.0 in Huaxia."

Pan Jinxing directly threw out a blockbuster concept, that is, Industry 4.0.

Cao Yang had naturally heard of this word.

However, it is not so easy to truly achieve Industry 4.0.

"Did you come up with this Industry 4.0 for yourselves?"

"What does it have to do with the previous stages of industrialization, and how can you distinguish it?"

Although Cao Yang probably knew what this thing was all about, he definitely didn't know what to do at this time.

"No, the concept of Industry 4.0 first appeared in Germany and was officially launched at this year's Hannover Messe."

"Its core purpose is to increase the competitiveness of German industry and to take the lead in the new industrial revolution."

"I think it's no problem to put it in Huaxia."

Pan Jinxing did not put this name on his head without selling his reputation, after all, after the concept was popularized in the future, everyone would definitely know that the place of origin was Germany.

At that time, Nanshan equipment will be embarrassed.

"The core features of Industry 4.0 include connectivity, data, integration, innovation and transformation."

"It emphasizes the close connection between equipment, production lines, factories, suppliers, products and customers, as well as the connection of product data, equipment data, R&D data, industrial chain data, operational data, management data, sales data, consumer data."

"Industry 4.0 enables intelligent networks through technologies such as the Internet of Things, big data and analytics, artificial intelligence, robotics, augmented reality and virtual reality, and promotes a high degree of integration horizontally, vertically and end-to-end."

"Many of these fields are the areas that our Nanshan equipment or group brother enterprises are good at."

"We can build the group into a benchmark for Huaxia Industry 4.0, take Huaxia into the era of Industry 4.0, and realize a new industrial revolution."

As an academician of the Academy of Engineering, Pan Jinxing must have made a big move.

If the concept of Industry 4.0 is put forward by ordinary enterprises, it is estimated that it will have no influence at all.

However, Nanshan Equipment, as the largest equipment industry in China, and Pan Jinxing is a newly rising academician, the situation is different.

Not to mention that behind Nanshan equipment, there is Cao Yang, the richest man in the world.

"How does Nanshan Equipment plan to implement and promote the revolution of Industry 4.0 within the company?"

Regarding Pan Jinxing's proposal, Cao Yang will definitely not object.

However, he was also a little curious about what the other party was going to do.

After all, if it's just a simple concept, it doesn't make much sense.

There are a large number of people in China who are good at theoretical research, and they can come up with all kinds of new concepts.

"The various equipment produced by our company is ready to realize the revolution of Industry 4.0 from the following five aspects."

Pan Jinxing obviously came prepared, and after listening to Cao Yang's words, he immediately began his own statement.

"The first is the intelligence and interconnection of equipment."

"Our production equipment needs to be able to operate intelligently and have the ability to communicate with other machines and systems in real time."

"This enables real-time data acquisition, transmission and processing through built-in sensors, actuators and communication modules in the device."

"At the same time, the device can be combined with IIoT technology for seamless integration with cloud platforms, other devices, and enterprise information systems."

"Then there's automation and flexible production."

"In my opinion, Industry 4.0 emphasizes the application of automated production lines to improve production efficiency and reduce labor costs."

"As a result, production equipment needs to be highly automated, including automatic parameter adjustment, automatic error detection, and automatic maintenance."

"In addition, in order to meet the needs of individual customization, the production equipment also needs to have flexible production capacity, that is, it can quickly adapt to the production needs of different products."

"It's also a concept that companies on the German side are preparing to move forward."

Pan Jinxing said as he watched Cao Yang's reaction.

If this matter is to be carried out, it must need Cao Yang's support.

It's not interesting to make a small fuss, and if you want to do it, it will become a new concept that will cause a sensation throughout the country.

"Then there's the need for my equipment to be as modular and scalable as possible."

"In order to adapt to changing market demands and product updates, production equipment needs to be modular in design so that new functions can be easily added or old parts replaced."

"In addition, the equipment needs to support scalability so that production capacity can be easily expanded when needed."

"This aspect is a little similar to the OTA upgrade function of future cars."

"Fourth ......"

Pan Jinxing spent more than ten minutes and introduced his efforts on how Nanshan Equipment is ready to enter the era of Industry 4.0.

I have to say that the academician's shot is extraordinary.

Although Cao Yang also had some understanding of the concept of Industry 4.0 before, it was definitely not as comprehensive as Pan Jinxing's introduction.

"Academician Pan, this concept can be specially formed into a document and submitted to the relevant departments, so that they can understand it first."

"It's best to let them come to Nanshan Equipment to visit the production line and introduce some of the technologies that are already marching towards the Industry 4.0 era."

"I guess the interest in this concept should be very high."

Cao Yang was quick to give specific instructions.

This kind of concept to be promoted in the whole of China, if you simply rely on a company to promote, the effect is definitely not very good.

It is better to have a top-down publicity and promotion, so that all walks of life are moving towards Industry 4.0.

Behind this, it is definitely of extraordinary significance to Nanshan equipment.

Not to mention other false names, all walks of life to march towards Industry 4.0, first of all, to transform various equipment or introduce some more advanced equipment.

This is a large order for Nanshan equipment.

As long as you can eat a part of it, it can also make the scale of Nanshan equipment to a new level.

This truth is not only understood by Cao Yang, but also by Pan Jinxing.

Therefore, the relevant documents were quickly worked overtime and submitted to the relevant departments.

For the information submitted by Nanshan Equipment, the attention of relevant departments must be different.

In particular, the concept of being so tall and timely immediately attracted the attention and interest of the bigwigs.

In an instant, Industry 4.0 has become a learning document for institutions at all levels and state-owned enterprises.

And Nanshan Equipment, the initiator, has naturally been paid attention to by everyone.

"Mr. Cao, your concept of industry 4.0 is very good, and we have been thinking about how to improve our overall technical level, enhance our corporate image, and let everyone no longer think of us as a factory that can only produce iron lumps."

"Now with the concept of Industry 4.0, the situation is immediately different."

Zhang Sheng of Jier Machine Tool Factory is an old acquaintance with Cao Yang.

So if he has anything, he will call Cao Yang directly with a phone call.

As the only one who can handle the "Huaxia Eighteen Arhat Machine Tool Factory", Cao Yang also attaches great importance to it.

In particular, the stamping production line used in Jier's automobile stamping workshop has become their famous brand product.

More than seventy percent of the newly built automobile factories in Huaxia in recent years are using this set of stamping equipment from Jier.

Of course, in this stamping equipment, many core parts such as CNC systems are provided by Nanshan equipment or Nanshan auto parts and other Nanshan enterprises.

"Why, your Jier Machine Tool Factory is finally ready to rush to the forefront of the times?"

Cao Yang also has a good understanding of the situation of Jier Machine Tool Factory, and has even been there several times in person.

Jier's performance has been good in recent years, and Zhang Sheng has always been thinking about how to develop in the long run.

However, it is obviously not so easy for a traditional enterprise to transform.

Now the concept of Industry 4.0 proposed by Nanshan Equipment can be regarded as pointing out the direction of their efforts.

Intelligence & Connectivity, Automation & Flexible Production, Data-Driven & Decision Support, Modularity & Scalability, Security & Reliability......

As long as you follow the guidance documents officially issued by the relevant departments, you don't need to worry about the route.

Zhang Sheng is also a person who knows the goods, and after reading the document, he knows that the actual guiding significance of this thing is relatively strong, and it is not the kind of thing that fools people.

That's why he called Cao Yang directly.

"I dare not be at the forefront of the times, this is the honor of Nanshan equipment."

"But following Big Brother and adding bricks, we can still do it."

"It just so happens that many companies are building new energy factories now, and the relevant equipment of the stamping workshop can fully integrate the concept of Industry 4.0."

"I guess a lot of companies are interested."

"However, this industry 4.0 development plan involves a lot of intelligent network-related things, as well as a lot of chip-related technologies, and you will need Mr. Cao's help when the time comes."

Zhang Sheng is also well-known independently.

I know that Jiji alone will not be able to complete the transformation of Industry 4.0.

As a traditional machine tool enterprise, they have always been relatively weak in the control system, not to mention the intelligent network, which is related to the Internet +.

Rather than handing over this part of the business to other companies, it is better to cooperate with Nanshan Equipment.

"No problem, Nanshan Equipment has officially established an Industry 4.0 promotion department, and they can connect with you when the time comes."

"If you need to communicate something or buy those modules, just ask for it."

Zhang Sheng is here to send business to Nanshan Equipment, and Cao Yang must be happy to accept it.

In order to thoroughly promote the Industrial Revolution 4.0, it is obviously not enough to rely on Nanshan Equipment alone.

Now that this banner has been raised, it is natural to do a good job.

There are also many companies that are very interested in the concept of Industry 4.0 proposed by Nanshan Equipment.

BYD first thought of how its foundry could be combined with Industry 4.0 this time, so that everyone realized that the foundry industry can also be a high-end industry.

"Mr. Xia, we are ready to carry out a comprehensive equipment upgrade and transformation of the mobile phone foundry."

"Of course, this transformation will not be carried out at the same time as all production lines, but will be continuously improved in combination with the changes in demand for production capacity."

Wang Fu and Zhong Qiang came to Honor Technology together to directly communicate with Xia Qingqing on this topic.

Although the concept of Industry 4.0 was put forward by Nanshan Equipment, BYD's largest customer is Honor Technology, and they must have communicated with Honor Technology first.

"What are you going to do?"

Xia Qingqing really didn't expect that BYD would choose to transform the production line at this time.

With the advent of the 4G era, the HONOR5 4G version is now in a state where it is hard to find.

It is obviously a bit out of place to retrofit the equipment in such a situation.

At least that's what Xia Qingqing thinks at the moment.

"We are ready to further introduce automation systems and robotics to achieve a high degree of automation in the mobile phone production line and improve production efficiency and accuracy."

"At the same time, using technologies such as big data analytics, artificial intelligence and machine learning, our mobile phone production workshop is able to collect, analyze and utilize the massive amounts of data generated during the production process in real time to support real-time decision-making, optimize production and predict maintenance needs."

"This data-driven decision-making approach will make BYD's mobile phone production line more efficient, flexible and sustainable."

"Then we plan to share various system data of the mobile phone production line with Honor Technology, so that customers can see every link of our production line without leaving the company......

With Wang Fu's introduction, Xia Qingqing slowly became interested.

These production line transformations seem to be quite valuable.

Of course, the premise is that it does not affect the shipping speed of Honor mobile phones.

"Mr. Wang, if you want to carry out such a big transformation, there will be a lot of equipment involved."

"That's true, we have our own internal business department responsible for part of the equipment business, and then we will also cooperate with Nanshan Equipment for part of the business, and in the end it will definitely be able to be done smoothly."

Wang Fu may not have confidence in his own business department, but he is definitely full of confidence in Nanshan equipment.

In the whole of China, if Nanshan Equipment can't get the equipment that it can't do with all its efforts, basically no company can do it.

This result has been proven by many cases.

"As long as it does not affect the production of mobile phones, we will definitely fully support it."

At this time, Xia Qingqing naturally had nothing to hesitate about.

After getting the consent of Honor Technology, BYD also issued a special announcement, saying that its mobile phone OEM production line will undergo Industry 4.0 transformation to meet the needs of the development of the times.

The enterprises outside are divided and combined, and the enterprises inside the Nanshan system are naturally indifferent.

Zeng Tingting, who has always been very good at grasping Cao Yang's ideas, also proposed a plan related to Industry 4.0 on behalf of Future Auto at this time.

"Mr. Cao, according to the current situation, the factory capacity of the future automobile will be completely saturated next year, and the construction of a new factory must be started this year to meet the market demand."

"Considering that the new energy vehicle industry is developing very fast, customers' needs for various configurations are also diverse."

"When we were going to build this factory, we were going to build it according to Industry 4.0 standards."

"Especially when it comes to the individuality and customization of Industry 4.0, our new factory has a lot to prepare."

"By building closer relationships with our customers and supplier partners, our new plant will be able to achieve individual production and customized services to meet the specific needs and requirements of our customers in the future."

"This can not only improve the market competitiveness of various models of future automobiles, but also promote the collaborative innovation and development of the supply chain."

I have to say that Zeng Tingting's entry point is really closely related to the concept of Industry 4.0.

Although personalized customization is not a new thing, some car companies are already doing this.

However, the future car is obviously to go further on the basis of its predecessors and carry forward personalized customization thoroughly.

"If we can achieve personalized customization, then we can have more options."

"However, when the time comes, don't make the price system of the model too complicated, which is easy to counterproduct."

Cao Yang immediately thought of the complex price system of Xpeng G6 when it was first listed, which directly annoyed consumers.

Although Xpeng urgently simplified the relevant projects, the adverse effects have already been caused.

This lesson is really worth paying attention to.

There are too many fancy things, which is easy to cause consumer disgust.

After all, in the current car market, consumers still have a lot of choices, and you don't have to do it.

"Well, we'll pay attention to that."

"In addition to working on personalization, our new factory is also ready to make full use of big data, and work with other sister companies in the group to analyze and use this data."

"In terms of artificial intelligence, we will also work together with Nanshan Semiconductor, Nanshan Equipment and other brother companies to make the new factory of Future Automobile a benchmark factory in the global automotive industry."

Previously, the factory of Xingchen Automobile has been regarded as a benchmark factory in the automotive industry for many years, and the construction of several factories such as BMW and Mercedes-Benz is based on the factory template of Xingchen Automobile to design.

However, as more car companies upgrade according to this template, the technical advantages of Xingchen Automobile's factory are not obvious.

Obviously, Zeng Tingting is ready to continue to work hard in this regard, so that the future car can continue to carry this banner.

This is quite meaningful to Nanshan Automobile Group.

Although after the construction of a new factory, there will definitely be other companies to build their own new factories based on this factory, and eventually more advanced factories will appear.

However, in addition to Future Motors, Nanshan Automobile Group also has Xingchen Automobile and Jaguar Land Rover.

As their sales rise, there will naturally be a need to build new factories.

When the time comes, the upgrade will always ensure that the factory of Nanshan Automobile Group is at the leading level in the world.

Even old factories can be upgraded.

Anyway, with such a big backer as Nanshan equipment, there is no need to worry about such and such restrictions.

"The development of future automobiles in the next few years is indeed worth looking forward to."

"However, I think that the sales of cars in the future cannot rely on new models one after another, but to develop in the direction of creating several popular models."

"In my mind, the number of models of cars in the future will be kept at five or six at the same time."

Although there are more models, theoretically speaking, sales will also rise simultaneously, but popular models have a greater impact on sales.

And the popular models can quickly achieve large-scale effects and reduce various costs.

This is very beneficial for improving the bottom line of the business.

Why was Tesla able to become the most profitable electric car company in the previous life?

One of the reasons is that people rely on creating popular models, which minimizes the development fee and component cost.

And the emergence of popular models can greatly reduce marketing investment.

Because you just don't market, there are also many media that rub traffic and will take the initiative to help you write various analysis articles.

Competitors will also compare you on various occasions, which can be regarded as advertising for you.
