(10 days 8 nights)

【Project background】

"Intelligent manufacturing" is the core goal of industry 5.0 and the new trend of future manufacturing development. To follow the trend is to follow the path of future development.

Germany, the world's intelligent manufacturing power

Germany has a population of 80 million, but there are 2,300 world brand companies. Bosch, Siemens, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, TrumPF and other technology giants with a market value of 100 billion have always maintained a leading position since their inception. Germany's level of science and technology has always ranked in the world's leading level, the reason: Germany is an industrial, manufacturing industry is very developed science and technology power. Germany has a complete range of manufacturing industries, of which automobiles, machinery manufacturing, chemicals, medicine and electronics are Germany's four traditional pillar industries, while new energy and environmental protection technology are also Germany's dominant industries.

The creation of global industrial process standards and "smart factories" is the ultimate goal of German Industry 5.0

The core goal of German Industry 5.0 is "intelligent manufacturing". The key technology of intelligent manufacturing is digital design and manufacturing. The core technology of digital design and manufacturing is modeling and simulation. Intelligent manufacturing needs to collect a large amount of data through the sensor, and obtain intelligence through the simulation simulation algorithm to obtain intelligence, so in terms of the key connotation, it can be said that intelligent manufacturing = sensor + simulation + control system + intelligent algorithm.

Adhere to the "high precision" German manufacturing, with industrial digitalization, automation, intelligence, the curtain of German industry 5.0 has opened, learn Germany, look at the future of manufacturing, explore the mystery of quality industry, deconstruct the underlying logic of German industry 5.0, implementation path and method, and find the path of manufacturing transformation!
