Intelligentization will become the main trend of food machinery

In order to adapt to the intensified market competition, China's food machinery manufacturing industry is undergoing important changes in recent years. For example, large-scale production of enterprises is changing to flexible production according to market or customer requirements. Design and control systems are integrated independently into design and control systems. As a whole, in a certain place, production is transformed into a global purchasing and production process. The requirements for quality, cost, efficiency, and safety of manufacturing plants are also increasing. It is foreseeable that these changes will push the development and application of automation technology into new developments. stage.

Demographic dividend disappears intelligent manufacture rises

Since the reform and opening up, China's economy has maintained a high-speed development for more than 30 years, and it is closely related to the liberation of human resources and labor productivity. The demographic dividend has become an important source of China's economic growth miracle. However, with the changes in China’s population structure in recent years and the emergence of labor shortages and recruitment difficulties, the demographic dividend brought by the low-cost labor force is gradually disappearing. We need to adjust human resources policies in a timely and scientific manner and explore human resources. The new path for development will provide strong driving force for the sustained and stable growth of the economy.

A person in charge in Tianjin told a Chinese food machinery and equipment network that the statement on the end of the demographic dividend has been talked about since last year. In fact, the outstanding feeling for the enterprise is the substantial increase in the cost of labor, coupled with the long-term development of the company. It is hard to find top-notch talents and turn their goals into smart machining and manufacturing. “Intelligent machining has obvious advantages in accuracy and yield, and it has a natural advantage for equipment manufacturing equipment that is personalized to the development direction. Of course, we also welcome high-level talents to join. After all, this is The core competitiveness of the company in the future."

The emergence of intelligent manufacturing machinery technology and equipment has triggered public concerns about the pros and cons and future of traditional industrial production. With the promotion of smart manufacturing technology and the gradual acceptance and utilization of smart devices in social production, people have generally realized that smart mechanical equipment is superior to traditional industrial production, and that it will certainly replace irreversible traditional industrial production in the future.

Intelligent manufacturing machinery and equipment are being sought after

Food packaging machinery is becoming more and more automated, and robots are the most competitive technology in automation technology. The application of robotics in the packaging industry has grown at a rapid rate, increasing from 9.5% to 17.4% over the past five years, and it has almost doubled. Fan. Robots have appeared in almost all packaging functional areas, especially in the fields of palletizing, binning and picking/placement.

China Food Machinery and Equipment Network recently saw FANUC robots displayed by Shanghai Fanuc Robotics Co., Ltd. at the Shanghai Propak Packaging Exhibition. The high-speed handling of the economical bottled beverage product line developed for food packaging production lines can help customers reduce costs. The FANUCM-710iC/50H high-speed robotic Packing system can achieve a maximum capture time of up to 50 beats per minute and configure the corresponding grippers. , Can correspond to a variety of products in the food industry, greatly reducing the labor intensity in the packing production process and improving the stability of the packing.

With the continuous advancement of intelligent manufacturing machinery technology, it has gradually exhibited features such as precision self-discipline, human-machine integration, sensor identification, ultra-flexibility, and strong learning and self-maintenance capabilities. At present, professional and technical personnel gradually try to apply intelligent manufacturing machinery to the actual social production, and gradually replace the role of manpower in welding, palletizing, sorting, docks, and high-risk work environments. The accuracy and speed are high. , Long working hours, liberation of labor and low-cost operation are increasingly welcomed by the manufacturing industry.

High-end equipment strategy rises smart manufacturing into mainstream

According to the "12th Five-Year Development Plan for High-end Equipment Manufacturing Industry" issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the ratio of sales of high-end equipment to equipment manufacturing will exceed 20% by 2015, and the annual sales value will reach 6 trillion yuan. yuan. Among them, intelligent manufacturing equipment is one of the key development directions during the "12th Five-Year Plan" period. According to the forecast of the National Information Center, intelligent manufacturing equipment as an important area for high-end equipment will maintain an annual growth rate of over 25% during the “12th Five-Year Plan” period.

The financial crisis since 2008 has brought major challenges to the global economy and also brought opportunities. Some industrialized countries have taken the fight for the commanding heights of the economy as their strategic focus, and investment in science and technology innovation as an important strategic investment. They have taken strategic emerging industries with high-tech as the main features as a strategic breakthrough in driving economic and social development. Intelligent mechanism manufacturing technology has given birth to and stimulated the development of strategic emerging industries to a certain extent; it will be the core of supporting the development of strategic emerging industries and enhancing international competitiveness.

During the "12th Five-Year Plan" period, the goal of the food machinery industry is to focus on mainstream products to achieve intelligent, information-based control, and in particular to achieve intelligent control of the local and remote. In recent years, with the fierce market competition and the development of information technology, intelligent manufacturing of food machinery has become a necessity to meet the needs of today's food industry.

Summary: The development of smart manufacturing in the machinery industry is in good shape, which also brings inspiration to the food machinery industry: To be invincible in the competition, companies must use advanced technology to enhance their own strength. Intelligent manufacturing has become the only direction for the transformation of China's food machinery manufacturing industry. With the strong support of policies, the smart equipment industry will maintain high-speed growth in the next few years with broad prospects.
