Machine for people, the trend?

"Machine for human" is the inevitable development of enterprises, it seems that everywhere you can hear the discussion on "machine for human", it seems that every region is concerned about "machine for human", as if every manufacturing Enterprises are in the layout of "machine for people", the construction of intelligent factories. But, is "machine for human" really so hot? Are all the enterprises are willing to participate in it? It is also worth our research and discussion.

In China's demographic dividend disappeared, the implementation of "machine for people", the construction of intelligent factories, is the best way out of the transformation and upgrading of enterprises, but look at the current participation in the "machine for people" enterprises, are the strength of various industries, influential large enterprises, they have Funds also have the ability to invest in the renewal of equipment. And "machine for people" can be popular in small and medium-sized enterprises? Many people will use the trend to describe the urgency of the development of small and medium-sized enterprises "machine for human", but from all aspects, small and medium-sized enterprises to achieve "machine for human", the development of intelligent manufacturing, I am afraid it is still very difficult!

(a) the speed of modern equipment replacement, the cycle is generally 2-3 years, enterprises require 1-2 years to recover the cost of technological transformation costs, capital pressure, so the small size, shortage of liquidity, the difficulty of applying for bank loans for small and medium-sized enterprises, huge capital investment, hindering their The pace of "machine for human". In addition, the general industrial base and comprehensive strength of small and medium-sized enterprises are relatively weak, especially some small and micro enterprises, may still be the traditional small workshop model, the equipment is still at the bottom, there is no technical support, the implementation of "machine for human" this project is too large, simply can not be achieved.

(2) Many manufacturing enterprises in China are mainly OEM, no own brand and products, only to follow the others, and OEM products can be modified at any time according to customer requirements, once the establishment of unified, standardized automated assembly line, with machines to replace people, it will face once the product is modified or adjusted, the entire production line needs to be adjusted, some of the previous modules, standards may not apply to the current product requirements. standards may not apply to the current product requirements, the previous products will all be scrapped. Therefore, many small and medium-sized enterprises can not reach the level of "machine for human".

(3) "Machine for human" does not only mean the renewal of production lines, but also the investment of hardware and software, and the transformation of front-line employees to knowledge-based producers as soon as possible. Some small and medium-sized enterprise leaders themselves do not have long-term goals, their own understanding of the "machine for people" is not enough, coupled with the general quality of the staff is low, can not quickly adapt to this transformation, there is no way to talk about "machine for people".

(D) the development of "machine for people", the construction of intelligent factories, itself will also have a fierce impact on small and medium-sized enterprises. We know that the future trend of digital factory is to the direction of flexibility, to help enterprises achieve small batches, multiple batches of mixed line production, which has been reflected in the digital factory of Siemens. This also means that many large enterprises can also carry out small batch, multi-batch production, and high efficiency, so that they do not need some small and medium-sized enterprises to help OEM, which will inevitably make part of the small and medium-sized enterprises into a crisis of survival, forcing them to transform to higher value-added areas, but this transformation is still very difficult for China's small and medium-sized enterprises.

Conclusion: When the "machine for people" is fired up, large enterprises have layout, spend a lot of effort to build intelligent factories, small and medium-sized enterprises is obviously difficult to this piece of strength and large enterprises, at present, most small and medium-sized enterprises on the machine for people still hold a wait-and-see attitude. For small and medium-sized enterprises, specializing in niche areas, to do a piece of fine, do tip, take the road of integration and cooperation, according to their own actual situation, not blindly follow the trend, and gradually update the equipment, perhaps in the "machine for man" wave is not eliminated.
