Our "made in China" 2025 "strategies, " intelligent manufacturing "is positioned as the main directions of China's manufacturing, in particular to accelerate the industry's intelligent upgrade and renovation. And now, the latest results are already visible – April 11 "2016 China CNC machine tool fair (CCMT) ", the Shenyang machine tool group owns full independent intellectual property, USB2.0 PC cams the world's first platform-type machine tool i5M8, not only became the venue's bright "stars", and let people see a "made in China" upgrade to the new model.
The i5 is what? I5 is industrialization, information technology, networking, intelligent, integrated (the first letters of the alphabet are I) integration. Makes the machine more intelligent, make the machine a smart terminal, realization of man-machine dialogue, dialogue, "fingertip factory", "Factory" from dream come true. It is generally accepted that, "i5" will become an important carrier of production methods based on the Internet of the future.
Now, it seems, i5 a happy feeling, but remember your past history, but people feel pain. Guan Xiyou, Chairman of the Shenyang machine tool group told Xinhua, Shenyang machine tool group is starting from 2007 the i5 technology, but it was not until early 2012, i5 mature technology don't, money already spent all the family enterprise. "5 year hit in more than 1.1 billion yuan, and don't know if I can. When they fail, even Boondoggle, as head of the State-owned enterprises, I can't explain. ”
In long of development process in the, Shenyang machine group of development team amendment update has 1917 a size version, cumulative has 1032 article test case, original NC system CNC movement control technology, and digital servo drive technology, and bus technology, NC core technology, has overall code more than 200,000 line, won 9 items invention patent, and more than 20 more than items practical new technology patent and 11 items software copyright…… Innovation fruit come February 2012 i5 research breakthrough, the world's first intelligent CNC System i5 has an Internet gene turned out.
In 2014, the Shenyang machine tool was pioneered in the worldwide "i5 series of intelligent machines" in 2015, "i5" smart systems technology of five-axis has to achieve a breakthrough, and get on a new product batch application, orders a breakthrough of the year 2600. This year, the first quarter, i5 received 15000 Series intelligent machine tool orders.
Guan Xiyou, told reporters said proudly, "i5 system's core technologies are all developed by Shenyang machine tool is a key, allows us to completely break the Siemens, fanake and a few other international giants on motion control system of monopoly and technique blocked, really has the brains of China, China CNC machine tool. "Change:" i5 "strategy transformation of new steps have been taken.
Guan Xiyou says that installing the Shenyang machine tool group independently developed intelligent control system i5 series, error compensation technique for controlling precision not only the world's leading, and as an Internet based intelligent Terminal, implements operations, programming, maintenance and management of intelligence. "Such changes means that the machine can not only produce spare parts, you can ' produce ' data, for leading the industry changes, implementing new business models possible. May so say, i5 systems opens a new era in the development of Shenyang machine tool. ”
It is under such a concept, Shenyang machine tool group presents "i5". In response, Guan Xiyou explains, intelligent control systems equivalent to Apple's IOS System i5, IOS support the iPhone line of smartphones, birth of the i5 shop management engineering, factory and the logic of virtuality and reality online, provide an important basis for China's machine tool industry move upmarket. I5 core technology products, smart, intelligent machine tools factories, cloud platform manufactured and new business model that combines the financial and the integration of these elements to form the Shenyang machine tool group "i5". "I5" strategy, the transformation and upgrading of traditional manufacturing intelligence provides a new sample, the traditional manufacturers transition to modern industry service provider strategy, opening new revolution in manufacturing smart upgrade.
October 2015, in Germany Berlin held the seventh session of the Forum on Sino-German economic and technological, Shenyang machine tool industry-4.0 "i5" strategy, caused the attending Germany experts and enterprises highly, they think "i5 strategic" depth agrees with the content and direction of future manufacturing.
Today, new i5M8 machine equipped with Shenyang machine tool i5 developed by intelligent systems, intelligent programming, graphics, Diagnostics, online technology, intelligent features such as graphical simulation. Its most prominent feature is a multi-purpose machine, meaning that only a machine can achieve the original three axes, four, five-axis 8 different kinds of functions. "M8 series platform is the same as the framework, we can according to customer demand machines any combination of modules, to meet customer requirements in the field of. "I5M8 of the Shenyang machine tool group product manager Xue Tong told the China Economic Herald reporter.
He for example said, for process very complex of parts for, original customer need procurement 8 to 10 Taiwan machine products composition a article line achieved processing, has has M8 products zhihou, user only need procurement 2~3 Taiwan machine, only with once loaded clip on can completed all processing needs, reduced has user of equipment input cost, reduced has artificial using costs, reduced has equipment of accounted for to area. I5M8 machine has just come out, many customers have already threw an olive branch to Shenyang machine tools.
A creative new products, but the downturn in the economy, so many customers are holding a wait-and-see attitude. Such a situation, Guan Xiyou and begin to think about in terms of profit model innovation, presented the i5 can "zero purchase", according to the time of use, value, or pay-per-piece number.
"You have orders, I am out of equipment, from the sale of shares, so that the enterprises removed from the huge initial investment costs, fast growing, and was born out of the traditional manufacturing industries the new transaction standards. "China Economic Herald reporter Guan Xiyou explains how leasing to customers using a smart NC machine tool model.
So, how do you know what customers with useless machines? It turns out that remote management supports i5 behind a huge "i5 cloud platform". It i5 on the machine connected to the Internet in real time, analyse and use this data in real time. Shenyang machine tool is not very grown up processing, but it is good at looking for partners. September 2015, Shenyang machine tools work together to digital, Everbright financial holding in Shanghai, jointly created an intelligent cloud company, build intelligent data platform, to provide online customers with technical solutions.
With this platform, machine and machine, man and machine to achieve the interconnect. Consumers or distributors ordering customized products online through the cloud platform, platform based on order, according to production capacity, design, equipment, efficiency, comprehensive standards, best matches the production enterprises, implement orders, shared cloud services.
It is understood that i5 70% customers using leased in machine tool orders, charge by the hour or by processing volume, a single machine running for an hour only charge 10 Yuan, greatly reduced the one-time investment.
Guan Xiyou believes that industry data and each cut out a small piece can derive numerous business opportunities and profit model, one step ahead in building intelligent manufacturing ecosystem, and for the country as a place for companies to explore in the future. Forward: innovation is still long and hard
Innovation must be recognized in markets often take time to sharpen. In particular, such as Shenyang machine tool group "zero zero down, zero interest rates of burden, zero purchase" programme, which give customers easy start at the same time, they also bring pressure on cash flow, it is difficult to get an immediate return. Also, Guan Xiyou also pointed out that the i5 formed more than 100,000 units of intelligent industrial scale to show the power of the Internet.
In order not to fall into looks beautiful "niche trap", the Shenyang machine tool group and the first in China to try to carry out financial leasing of machine tool business. In fact, this is very common in foreign countries, companies such as GE, Siemens, IBM has its own leasing companies. Active cooperation with financial institutions in Shanghai Shenyang machine tool group, set up a leasing company in Nice, development of financing lease, finance lease, rental, sale and leaseback business. This way, not only can solve their cash flow problems, and further provide support for i5 users of financial services. In 2015, the total leasing business has reached 500 million Yuan, opened the future market needs.
Development of the Shenyang machine tool group attracted national attention, on July 21, 2015, the Shenyang machine tool selected for intelligent manufacturing pilot project at the Ministry, become the only enterprise in metal-cutting machine tools industry. Early this year, the Shenyang machine tool "i5" strategy into industrial development strategy in Shenyang city. Shenyang Municipal Government has determined "i5" strategy, decided to i5 intelligent manufacturing as a leader promoting the old industrial base transformation and upgrading and overall revitalization. On the support, B2B marketplace sites according to the latest i5 of the implementation of the strategic plan of the Shenyang machine tool group, Shenyang Shenyang machine tools will be supported in the future through the joint venture, a 3-year period, 10 Smart demonstration plant in Shenyang area, output is expected to reach 20 billion yuan.
