"Industry 4.0" - intrigue or opportunity?
In the Internet and the development trend of new technology, have been urging in more digital and intelligent life path, and realize the human body, in life service, provide people with more intelligent and fast service;In the production labor, the enterprise provides more digital, scientific production tools.
Therefore, Germany was the first to propose the industrial 4.0 era, the United States to the industrial Internet to blow the submachine, and China also not to be willing to lag behind, ushered in the industrial Internet era.Although their respective names are different, they are based on the new technology of the Internet to realize more intelligent and digital production methods and provide better services for users.

From Germany's industrial 4.0 era, America's industrial the advent of the era of the Internet to the Chinese Internet industry, industry type platform in the industry leading to quickly find the development opportunity in the wave, will also change the whole society and even the whole world in the future way of production and living.
On the pace of development, industrial 4.0 throughout Germany, the United States industrial Internet and Internet of industry in China, Germany in the field of heavy focus on high-end industries and high-end link, do intelligent plant, determined to achieve the goal of Internet + manufacturing;While the United States pay more attention to soft field use of the advantages of the new technology, especially the advantage of the large data analysis technology applied to the enterprise's production, manufacturing, to provide enterprises with more scientific, intelligent production mode;While China's Internet industry, is just the start stage, but there are many technology companies to use their advantages in an enterprise service transformation better quality of service for the enterprise.In terms of research and development, Germany is the world's manufacturing powerhouse and the world's leading exporter of manufactured goods, and its capital r&d investment in manufacturing exceeds that of the United States and Japan.In the wake of the financial crisis, the United States has also invested more research and development efforts to encourage American enterprises to carry out product development and technological innovation.Relative to the two countries, China science and technology r&d strength is still relatively weak, the country's funding is limited, many enterprises also exist insufficient investment in science and technology funds, as a result, China is still on technology research and development, to explore more research and development of excellent technical personnel, invest more capital and r&d team.In terms of technical force, Germany has the world's leading technology in automobile, machinery and motor, so the product brand and image have been forged.The United States is the world leader in new technologies such as big data, cloud computing and artificial intelligence, and it has also invested in new technologies in various aspects to achieve certain achievements.And China is not far behind. The Internet giants in China also have strong technological advantages and are slowly going abroad to some extent to fight against the global technology giants.
It seems that our country's industrial development of the Internet, though not as good as German industry 4.0 with the Internet started early, but because of the Internet to a domestic industry through Internet + the dongfeng and the support of national policy, at the same time in some enterprise service ability very strong platform support, multiple traditional industries of domestic enterprises have begun to have thoroughly remould oneself, in the future China through industrial Internet realize comprehensive industrial powers can grab a new round of technological revolution.
Germany in recent years has been actively promote the development of "4.0" industrial, its purpose is to take control of a new round of technological revolution, in response to manufacturing back to the United States and other developed countries and emerging economies such as China's fast to catch up with double challenges in the field of traditional manufacturing.
China, which also has made manufacturing a pillar of the economy, faces a "two-way squeeze" : on the one hand, developed countries have reshaped their manufacturing competitiveness with "reindustrialization".On the other hand, developing countries such as Vietnam and India are attracting labour-intensive manufacturing by cheap costs.
In this context, China in 2015, put forward the implementation of the "made in China 2025", including the Internet and the fusion of traditional industry, intelligent manufacturing as a main direction of made in China by the big teams, with the German "industrial 4.0" have certain similarities.People in the industry believe that Chinese manufacturing has a good foundation in industrial development and market volume, which can help to realize intelligent upgrading.First, China has built a complete and independent industrial system.In the field of electronic communications, also has formed a complete industrial clusters in China, Chinese enterprises has been from the traditional equipment providers to system solutions provider, in the global electronic information industry with strong competitiveness.Second, China's huge domestic market for the enterprise provides a large user base, intelligent production is the enterprise according to user's requirements to improve production technology advantage, to adapt to and intelligent is part of the production of all kinds of new business models, but also to attract external resources, to find the cooperation opportunity.In addition, the manufacturing level in China is still a big gap compared with that of developed countries, but it has the advantage of late-development in the smart upgrade.
China and Germany have many opportunities for cooperation
German chancellor Angela merkel said during her visit to China last October that Germany was willing to "make 2025" of Germany's "industrial 4.0".
This month, merkel visited China again and co-chaired the fourth round of china-germany government consultations with premier li keqiang.In a joint statement issued by the two sides, the two countries reiterated that they will continue to implement the agreements signed in the field of "industry 4.0", carry out cross-topic exchanges on "industry 4.0" and promote cooperation to generate synergies."Both countries are developing smart manufacturing and are competitors, but there are also many possibilities and opportunities for cooperation," said hu bette linhard, chairman of the asia-pacific committee for the German economy.
German information technology and electronic communications industry association "4.0" industrial department director Wolfgang, "said," 4.0 "industrial development only by Germany itself unable to succeed, need to find partners, to build global industrial chain, China is one of the important link.At present, the two sides are discussing the standardization of "industry 4.0" in the framework of the china-germany standardization cooperation committee.China information communications leading enterprises, represented by huawei, are actively participating in the solution development of intelligent production in Europe.At the same time, such as Siemens, Bosch rexroth, kuka robot pushing "4.0" industrial German companies in China also vigorously develops the market, for Chinese customers to promote intelligent production related technologies, products and solutions.
Oliver Fraser hannover exhibition of information communication chief, said Germany in machinery manufacturing, industrial automation and other fields is a global leader, but its information technology is relatively weak, so you must cooperate with foreign countries.China is the world's largest production base for information products and the fastest growing consumer and application market.'a lot of German companies have been operating in China for years and have been in close contact with their Chinese partners,' said RON Lawson, deputy head of the German machinery and equipment manufacturing federation.In the development of "industry 4.0", Germany and China cooperation is indispensable.Industry 4.0 development is a long-term process
In the past two years, "industry 4.0" has been heating up in China.Some of the personage inside course of study reminds, "4.0" industrial development is a long-term process, need in technology research and development, standardized development, network infrastructure, data security, the professional personnel training, and other aspects made solid progress.
A 2015 survey found that nearly half of German industrial companies were concerned about the huge investments needed to implement "industrial 4.0" and the uncertain earnings outlook.At present, the German government and the deep-pocketed big business are the main force driving the "industry 4.0", while the German small and medium-sized enterprises mostly hold a wait-and-see attitude.
To this end, the German government and enterprises, trade unions and representatives of scientific community "industrial 4.0 platform", through the coordination of "4.0" industrial standardization, technology research and development, data security, personnel training, the legal framework of work, promote German industrial digital process.
4.0 to encourage small and medium-sized enterprises are also involved in the implementation of the "industry", the German government is more than 10 national construction "power center", organize scientific research and commercial institutions for small and medium-sized enterprises to provide technical upgrading, transformation of business model of consulting and support.Last November, Germany's "industry 4.0 platform" also launched its first "industrial 4.0 map", introducing more than 200 "industries" across Germany
4. Application examples and experimental points for application and development of small and medium-sized enterprises.Experts believe that China's development of intelligent manufacturing also need to strengthen the construction of the platform, make industry, enterprises, research institutes and other widely participation, common planning how to implement the intelligent upgrade roadmap for made in China.
