The automotive industry should be regarded as the vanguard of the era of Industry 4.0. When the general manufacturing industry at the industrial 2.X level was still confused by the 4.0 tide, the automobile industry (mainly the whole vehicle manufacturing) had already stood on the high post of Industry 3.0 and smiled.
The World Economic Forum (WEF) released a report predicting the fourth industrial revolution. It is expected that by 2020, artificial intelligence, robotics and other technological changes will cause more than 5 million people worldwide to lose their jobs.
Even so, it is not easy for the automotive industry to achieve Industry 4.0. After all, from the industry 3.0 to 4.0, there are X possibilities.
Tsundere juvenile, are you 3.1 or 3.9?
Where is the gap of 0.1?
I believe that the car companies themselves can not answer.
Recently, a digital automation level assessment model for passenger car OEMs gave the answer to the above questions:
3.462 points
The transcript of this car company
According to the 4-point standard corresponding to Industry 4.0, the evaluation model is analyzed and evaluated by the domestic passenger vehicle manufacturer, and the average level of automation level of the vehicle industry is 3.462, which is in the industrial 3.4 stage. Next, let's look at what this car company can get with 3.462 points.
Digital strategy and path have not yet taken the real first stepIn recent years, the enthusiasm of China's manufacturing and investment community for Industry 4.0 has been rising, and a large number of lectures, discussions and concept interpretations have been carried out around it. Enterprises have shown great confidence and determination to promote the landing of Industry 4.0. What is the actual situation?
It is not difficult to find out through the evaluation of the management process that none of the domestic car companies participating in the evaluation has developed an overall strategy and path for digitization and automation, let alone related investments. Even the more advanced joint ventures are only in their infancy, and there is no perfect strategy and path.
Large enterprises, small enterprises, joint ventures and local enterprises have different motivations and difficulties in promoting the implementation of Industry 4.0 and realizing their own transformation. However, if there is no clear strategic planning and path, this is tantamount to talking on paper.
Responsive design More introduction of digital development toolsThe product design process first faces two important challenges, namely, the increasing personalization needs of customers and the increasingly complex products. This complexity is not just a simple choice of colors, models, but a large number of key components, raw materials, features and external factors, which makes it a lot of time and money to design a new car. At this point, the role of the lifecycle management software PLM is highlighted. It can completely virtualize the development and optimization of new products. Even in the late stage of selecting difficult customers, PLM can quickly complete the demand adjustment and matching.
In this evaluation, nine companies used PLM in the product design process, of which six were local companies. Whether or not the independent product development is an important factor affecting the use of PLM: Only companies that are actively developing products will have the incentive to adopt PLM. At present, local car companies are mainly based on imitation, and some car companies rely on foreign design agencies, and the joint ventures have a higher proportion of independent research and development.
