The development of intelligent manufacturing includes multiple dimensions such as products, manufacturing, and models. This includes the research and development of intelligent products and intelligent equipment, the application of intelligent technologies, the construction of intelligent terminals and platforms, the transformation of intelligent production models, and intelligent integration. Development of manufacturing systems, etc. The traditional labor-intensive industries in my country’s industrial structure have already faced challenges. On the one hand, low-end manufacturing is shifting to low-cost countries, and on the other hand, high-end manufacturing is flowing to developed countries.

In July 2017, China released the "New Generation Artificial Intelligence Development Plan", which proposed the guiding ideology, strategic objectives, key tasks and safeguards for the development of China's new generation of artificial intelligence in 2030, and clarified artificial intelligence as China's industrial upgrade And the main driving force of economic transformation. The future will be an era where intelligence is at the core and the interconnection of all things is realized through digitalization. Artificial intelligence will be everywhere.

The phenomenon that China's manufacturing industry is currently large but not strong is very obvious. Problems such as oversupply of low-end and inefficient manufacturing industries, and insufficient supply of high-end and effective industries are prominent. The key to the development of intelligent manufacturing is new materials, which are the basic conditions for ensuring the quality of manufactured products. In 2010, the State Council issued the "Decision on Accelerating the Cultivation and Development of Strategic Emerging Generations", which clearly lists new materials as strategic emerging industries, and proposed in the industrial development plan that by 2020, strive to make certain new material varieties enter the global supply Chain, the self-sufficiency rate of major materials reached more than 70%, which initially realized China's strategic transformation from a material power to a material power.

▲The relationship between materials and smart manufacturing

The refractory industry is a traditional industry that can no longer be traditional, from manual feeding, brick making, and brick pressing to live fully automated operation.

In the past, advanced equipment purchased by refractory companies was imported from abroad, which is not only expensive, but also inconvenient to maintain. Now, the performance of domestically-made intelligent equipment far exceeds that of imported equipment, the price is more advantageous, the service is better and the environment is also more environmentally friendly.

In the refractory production line, from automatic batching of raw materials, automatic mixing, automatic weighing of fabrics, to automatic molding of presses, automatic brick output, automatic detection, brick retrieval, and palletizing, the entire process is unmanned. The intelligent production of refractory materials not only improves the working environment, greatly reduces the labor intensity of workers, but also improves the quality of products and work efficiency. Reduce corporate production costs and management intensity.
