Leverage cloud computing to drive new manufacturing and see Alibaba Cloud to build the next decade

At the Hangzhou Yunqi Conference two months ago, Ma Yun’s father proposed “5 new” and bluntly will hit many industries. Literally speaking, "new manufacturing" and the like does not seem to cause huge imagination, but Boston Consulting told us that "artificial intelligence + manufacturing" will create an additional value of 6 trillion, and "5 new" The value is even more unimaginable.

Two months later, the 2016 Yunqi Conference Guangdong Branch opened, artificial intelligence, new manufacturing, big data, etc. became the focus of attention, especially on the topic of new manufacturing, Alibaba Cloud came up with a complete solution, Ma Yun Dad The business ambitions once again make the world look good.

Regarding the definition of manufacturing, Ma Yun’s statement is that “in the past, manufacturing was about scale and standardization, but in the next 30 years, manufacturing is smart, personalized, and customized.” In fact, this vision coincides with the concept of “Made in China 2025”. And how does Alibaba Cloud use cloud computing to drive new manufacturing? What is the enlightenment of the future of China's manufacturing industry?

Leverage cloud computing to drive new manufacturing and see Alibaba Cloud to build the next decade

From manufacturing to intellectual creation, Alibaba Cloud solves three major problems facing enterprises.

At the first World Intelligent Manufacturing Conference held recently, Xin Guobin, Vice Minister of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, spoke about the problems in China's manufacturing industry. "In 2015, China has become the largest manufacturing country, but in terms of branding and innovation capabilities. There are still big gaps in other advanced countries. 'Big but not strong' is still the bottleneck. At the same time, more than half of the domestic Internet business has undergone cloud transformation, and Alibaba Cloud has begun to target the same manufacturing industry that seeks innovation.

From the cooperation between domestic manufacturing leaders such as GCL, XCMG, Geely, Desaiwei, BYD and Alibaba Cloud, cloud computing has helped the traditional manufacturing industry solve three difficult problems.

First, the manufacturing process is intelligent.

The primary problem facing the manufacturing industry is the cloud computing of infrastructure. Alibaba Cloud's idea combines the requirements of the industrial Internet for cloud computing and big data platforms. While improving the construction of the public cloud infrastructure platform, it realizes the hybrid cloud. The factory has integration of systems and data centers.

For example, through the cloud communication to connect the systems and equipment in the factory, the equipment side mainly implements data collection, process logic execution and control. After the cloud obtains the data, it shares according to the rules and guides the process execution, so as to effectively improve the production efficiency. . Of course, from the perspective of the Internet of Things, it is possible to monitor the operation status of production equipment and production lines in real time through real-time monitoring of production equipment data, and to detect production anomalies early. In addition, along with this process, there are enterprise cloud and production systems such as CRM and ERP.

In the report of Industry 4.0 - Future Productivity and Manufacturing Development Prospects, Boston Consulting pointed out that the new industry 4.0 technology represented by cloud computing and big data analysis will bring 15-25% improvement to the manufacturing efficiency of China's manufacturing industry. , additional value added 4-6 trillion yuan. From the actual research of the media in Hangzhou, Nanjing and other places, cloud computing technology has increased the utilization rate of equipment by about 25%, and the results are more optimistic.

Second, to meet the customization trend of the manufacturing industry.

Whether it is "Made in China 2025" or "New Manufacturing", customization is a major trend in the future of manufacturing. As a cloud computing platform with Internet background, Alibaba Cloud provides not only “water, coal and electricity”-like computing services, consumption data (public opinion analysis, sales forecast, genuine traceability, etc.), big data analysis capabilities (non-performing rate analysis, equipment) Remote operation and maintenance, intelligent diagnosis, etc., as well as industrial chain resources, are precisely the traditional manufacturing industry, but also in line with the current flexible production.

On the one hand, the emergence of cloud computing makes data calculation and distribution infiltrate into production, warehousing, logistics, etc., which is conducive to the upstream and downstream information coordination of the manufacturing industry chain. The material supplier can detect the real-time status of the manufacturer's materials. Timely replenishment, timely adjustment of new requirements for materials, etc. On the other hand, the networking of the manufacturing industry itself is the process of opening up the demand side and the supply side, and the C2B mode may be realized in the future. That is, consumers can make personalized demands on manufacturers online, and manufacturers complete customized services.

From the existing cooperation cases, using Alibaba Cloud's big data value and computing efforts, Geely Automobile uses its vast data to mine and analyze users' behaviors and preferences to find products that are more in line with the user's taste. Services, combined with user needs, market dynamics, targeted optimization of their own, and adjustment of development strategies. In the future, the two sides will jointly create a more visible Geely brain.

Again, to help the overseas strategy of manufacturing.

Among the large multinational companies in the world, the manufacturing industry plays an important role in terms of the number of enterprises, the scale of operations and the profit rate. Under the influence of a series of factors such as cost, raw materials and economic situation, the globalization of manufacturing has become a consensus.

Up to now, Alibaba Cloud's data center has covered North America, Europe, the Middle East, Australia, Japan, Hong Kong and other markets. It is one of the few cloud computing vendors in the world that realizes the global “day-to-day” network coverage. Previously, Chinese companies often needed to jump back and forth between different systems in multiple networks around the world. With the cloud computing infrastructure of Alibaba Cloud and other domestic cloud computing providers, Chinese companies can use cloud services such as Alibaba Cloud to support global business development.

According to the China Globalization Report (2016) released by China and the Global Think Tank, China became the net exporter of capital for the first time in 2015. From the perspective of the distribution of investment industry in 2015, Chinese companies accounted for 48% of overseas investment manufacturing. %, close to half of the total investment. At the same time, new game rules, new market environment, and new supply chain system have become the three compulsory courses in China. When Alibaba Cloud and other cloud computing platforms complete the global layout, it means that China's manufacturing industry will realize unified operation and management in the overseas market. After all, CRM, ERP and other systems have been operated on the cloud platform. The level of Chinese manufacturing is replicated overseas, which will undoubtedly accelerate the internationalization of domestic manufacturing.

In my opinion, the cloud transformation of manufacturing has brought about two positive benefits. First, cloud computing is driving the intelligence of manufacturing. The important thing is not only to improve the efficiency of production collaboration, but also to innovate in technology innovation, model innovation and organizational methods. Second, traditional manufacturing faces many problems that are difficult to return. Lagging behind is only one of them. The sales model and management model need to introduce a more scientific approach. The emergence of cloud computing is like a powerful drug for the manufacturing industry, and it also forms the prototype of new manufacturing.

Artificial intelligence or Ali cloud drives another "weapon" of new manufacturing

In addition to the cloud computing and big data mentioned above, Alibaba Cloud said at the Yunqi Conference and Guangdong Branch that it will provide artificial intelligence ET for the manufacturing industry, assisting the manufacturing industry through the public cloud's inclusive computing power and Internet of Things technology solutions. Transformation and upgrading of key process intelligence and production process intelligent optimization control.

In August of this year, Alibaba Cloud launched the artificial intelligence ET, which now has the skills of intelligent voice interaction, image/video recognition, traffic prediction, and sentiment analysis. The most profound thing about ET is that the Hangzhou Municipal Government has built the “Urban Data Brain” with Alibaba Cloud ET artificial intelligence technology as the core, which can perform global real-time analysis of the entire city, automatically allocate public resources, and correct bugs in urban operations. It will evolve into a super artificial intelligence that can govern the city. From Hangzhou to Guangzhou, will Alibaba's artificial intelligence play be a "magnification" tailored to local conditions?

When other artificial intelligence researchers are still working on robots in the laboratory, Alibaba Cloud's application of artificial intelligence has covered areas such as traffic scheduling and aviation scheduling. Holding a cloud habitat in the hinterland of China's manufacturing industry in Huizhou means that Alibaba Cloud will equip the machine with the ET brain, allowing artificial intelligence to reach the forefront of manufacturing.

Yu Sicheng, vice president of Alibaba Cloud, spoke about such an application case in an interview. With the visual recognition and machine control technology of artificial intelligence, it is possible to automatically recognize the action of picking up a device quality check and returning it on the production line. The realization of this simple action alone has a value that cannot be underestimated in terms of replacing the manpower with the machine and improving production efficiency.

It has always been a vision for machines to replace humans for a lot of repetitive work, and many modern factories have adopted robotic arms to improve the automation of the production process. The value of artificial intelligence lies in the ability of the machine to "think" independently under the support of data and computing power. In the future, it can even automatically handle the small troubles in the production process. Instead of a little mistake, it is necessary to stop the work for manual repair. In this regard, the application of artificial intelligence in manufacturing, using artificial intelligence to assist production and continuous improvement of production methods, will further improve production efficiency, inventory turnover, equipment utilization and other indicators. Then, Alibaba Cloud's introduction of artificial intelligence into manufacturing industry seems to have an epoch-making significance.

It should be noted that whether it is cloud computing or artificial intelligence, Alibaba Cloud brings optimization and upgrade of IT architecture to the manufacturing industry, which is essentially providing new connectivity and new productivity for the manufacturing industry. The Internet is changing the manufacturing industry and changing the real economy. The effect it brings is not subversion but innovation in the way. Alibaba Cloud and other open ways in the manufacturing industry can see this positioning. For example, the advantages provided by the service are mainly data analysis, middleware and security protection. First, solve the core and most concerned issues of the manufacturing industry, and then proceed to the new manufacturing step by step. .

As Yu Sicheng said, "The next decade will be the decade of the Internet, but not the decade of the Internet company, but the ten years of all Internet companies in China going to the Internet. Everything Alibaba has done. It is a platform for providing." It is true that using cloud computing to drive new manufacturing is the next decade of Alibaba Cloud’s manufacturing industry.
