China News Service, Wuzhen, September 27 (Reporter Li Jinlei) At present, with the vigorous development of 5G, artificial intelligence, big data, cloud computing and other technologies, the industrial Internet is in the ascendant, and the form of factories is constantly evolving.

Have you ever wondered what the factory of the future will look like?

　　The 2021 World Internet Conference, which is being held in Wuzhen, Zhejiang, demonstrated the "industrial brain + factory of the future" model.

At the "Innovation and Breakthrough of Industrial Internet" forum held here, a group of industry leaders painted a picture of the factory of the future.

　　What will the factory of the future look like?

　　Sitting in the office remotely "mining", this has become a reality.

At the “Light of the Internet” Expo, the reporter saw the cockpit of a 5G smart mining shovel.

　　Sitting in this cockpit, relying on 5G, unmanned driving and other technologies, miners can remotely control and carry out mine operations indoors only by moving their fingers, realizing intelligent and unmanned mine production, and greatly reducing safety risks. At present, this cockpit has been put into practical use in Shanxi, Inner Mongolia and other places.

　　This is actually one of the silhouettes of the factory of the future.

　　Lin Zhongqin, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and president of Shanghai Jiaotong University, believes that the future factory will integrate high technologies such as robots, the Internet, big data, digital twins, and artificial intelligence. Quality and green production goals.

　　"With the global new technological revolution, the industrial chain reorganization and the implementation of the dual-carbon plan, the industry characteristics, organizational models, and technical elements of the future factories are constantly being explored and evolving." Lin Zhongqin pointed out that the future factories must be fully digitalized and highly intelligent To achieve full networking, real benefits must be produced.

　　He pointed out that through the human-machine integrated collaboration system composed of intelligent robots and human experts, it expands, extends and partially replaces the mental work of human experts, and continuously reduces repetitive, low-efficiency, and low-value human labor.

It is necessary to build a closed-loop business for the whole process of the future factory of intelligent end, edge computing, cloud computing, big data, and cloud decision-making, so as to realize various scenarios and applications of the future factory of "intelligence on the end, wisdom on the cloud, and control on the screen".

　　Zhu Yongtao, senior vice president of ZTE, believes that there are three new ideas surrounding the "industrial brain + factory of the future": new directions, new models, and new driving forces. To create a batch of new directional leading practices.

In the future, machine substitutions, changes in black-light factories and unmanned factories will transform the high-risk labor scenes in the past into a low-risk and better working environment.

　　Sekita Tetsuhiro, president of the Japan Institute of Business Engineering (Tokyo), believes that the pursuit of the future factory is summarized in three sentences: higher quality, better cost and higher efficiency. This is the ultimate and highest pursuit of the future factory.

　　According to the "Digital China Development Report (2020)" issued by the Office of the Cyberspace Administration of China, the digitalization process of China's industry has accelerated and the rate of numerical control of key processes and the penetration rate of digital R&D design tools in key manufacturing fields have increased from 45.7% and 61.8 in 2016, respectively. % Increased to 52.1% and 73% in 2020.

　　Industrial Internet is deeply integrated with digital twins, 5G, artificial intelligence and other network information technologies. In the future, factories will be fully digitized, but they also face many challenges. Among them, how to ensure data security and network security is one of the topics that cannot be ignored.

　　He Wenzhong, chief engineer of China Electronics Technology Group, reminded us that the attack on the Venezuelan State Grid and the attack on the aluminum giant Norwegian Hydro factory always remind us that safety is the fundamental guarantee for the development of the digital economy.

　　Qi Xiangdong, chairman of Qi Anxin Group, believes that digitalization has become an important driving force for social and economic development.

To deepen the digital reform, we must first strengthen the network security infrastructure project.
