Printing industry, how to achieve intelligent production and intelligent factory of Industry 4.0?

It combines modern information and communication technology with network technology and artificial intelligence technology, through the cooperation of intelligent production equipment, intelligent logistics equipment, warehouse management system, industrial robot system integration, cloud service platform, green energy-saving equipment, manufacturing execution system and other key technologies, the centralized management mode of traditional printing production, Upgrading to a decentralized, enhanced control management model greatly improves production efficiency, reduces process consumption, and enables goods and services inside and outside the printing plant to cooperate with each other, generating unprecedented value, forming a new business model, and ultimately establishing a highly flexible, efficient operation of personalized, digital, large-scale printing products and services manufacturing and providers. In intelligent printing factories, devices are interconnected with devices, people are interconnected, and people are interconnected with devices, that is, the physical objects in the system communicate in the information system and carry out cross-border information exchange. At present, the printing equipment used by most printing enterprises in China, especially small and medium-sized enterprises, is still in the middle and low grade equipment, second-hand purchased equipment and the use of old equipment makes most printing enterprises compared with advanced printing enterprises at home and abroad, not only the equipment function is backward, but also in the performance stability and the degree of automation is difficult to look back. The old-fashioned printing equipment also makes it difficult for enterprises to have their own innovative technology and printing characteristics, which makes it difficult for enterprises to maintain for a long time. Starting from the second half of 2016, the printing machine manufacturing industry is beset with difficulties, offset printing presses are unsalable, and sales are falling off a cliff, which makes the printing machine manufacturing enterprises fall into business difficulties. In 2017, the printing machine manufacturing industry is facing huge environmental pressure, the cost of internal labor and other prices have risen sharply, and the growth will still slow down under the internal and external difficulties. Whether to change the flag or insist on development is a difficult choice placed in front of each printer. The industry must rely on technological progress and seize a strong position in the industrial chain through new technologies in order to obtain new value and new development. In the era of rapid technological update and development, new technology is productivity, and technical strength is core competitiveness. Recently, Fengqifeng Printing Technology Co., LTD., a subsidiary of Shanghai Longlide Company, created the "first". The first intelligent printing factory in Fengxian District (Shanghai) is the first intelligent "unmanned" packaging and printing factory in China. 

The "nobody" here is not completely without manual intervention, but just describes how few people: nearly 15,000 square meters of workshop, two highly intelligent packaging and printing production lines, can produce 36,000 cartons per hour, 18,000 cartons, full production time output value of about 2 million yuan, but only 8 employees on the job. These eight people are just in charge of software operations. The "physical work" in the production process is mainly completed by automated equipment such as single-armed robots, palletizing robots, and AGVs (automatic guided transport vehicles). It is estimated that a factory using traditional technology would need 1,000 workers to reach its output. For the same output, the number of workers is 8:1,000. With the continuous development of the Internet and the Internet of services, the pace of human beings entering the era of "Industry 4.0" is accelerating. China's printing manufacturing industry must face up to this development trend, actively adjust the state of the enterprise, join the "Industry 4.0" this change, and obtain transformation opportunities in the new round of industrial revolution, so that China's printing manufacturing industry can have a long-term stable development.
