Promoting the development of Industry 4.0 The Shiqiang Innovation Application Seminar was held in Shenzhen

On December 15, in order to solve this hot issue, the "2016 Industry 4.0 Innovation Application Seminar" hosted by Shiqiang, the world's most advanced electronic component distribution company, was successfully held in Shenzhen.

At the meeting, a number of senior technical experts invited by Shiqiang analyzed the current and future trends of Industry 4.0, and conducted in-depth discussions with the engineers on topics such as ultra-low loss IGBT technology, multi-protocol single-chip industrial Ethernet technology, complete low-cost power devices, drive and heat dissipation solutions according to the application of frequency conversion servo, new energy, charging pile and other product applications and their end markets.

In this regard, technical experts said that the trend of miniaturization, high precision and corresponding speed of Industry 4.0 will play a positive role in promoting the daily life of enterprises and the general public. Such as the now very hot new energy vehicles, robot market, industrial automation, etc.

Taking new energy vehicles as an example, new energy vehicles have grown explosively in recent years, and charging piles closely related to them have also become a hot spot for people. However, due to poor compatibility of charging piles, uneven quality of charging piles, high construction costs, and difficult installation, charging piles have not really carried out large-scale construction, which also causes the problem of charging difficulties for new energy vehicle users.

In response to this problem, the technical experts invited by Shiqiang said that the development time of charging piles is still relatively short, and many technologies and products need to be upgraded and improved. Only by fundamentally solving these problems can the charging pile be better developed, and the problem of new energy vehicle users pinching the power to determine the travel trip can be solved faster. For example, in a charging pile system, it is necessary to monitor the voltage and current of the bus bar and the voltage and current of the output port, and it is necessary to use an isolated voltage and current sampling device. In the past, the isolation of charging piles generally used traditional optocoupler isolation, but in recent years, digital isolation has been increasingly favored by designers. This is because digital isolation is faster, has a longer lifetime, and is more immune than optocouplers.

At the same time, Shiqiang's technical experts mentioned that in industry, because the domestic industry still has a big gap with industrial powers in terms of technical equipment, energy and raw material consumption, product quality and management level, how to quickly promote the transformation and upgrading of industrial automation has become a hot spot for the government and the public. Among them, industrial Ethernet will become the next intelligent manufacturing enterprise competition point with its advantages of real-time, low-latency, high-speed large-capacity communication and support for multiple protocols. After connecting to Industrial Ethernet, enterprises will greatly improve production efficiency and safety, truly realize centralized control and real-time control, so as to achieve factory automation, that is, realize unmanned production.

It is precisely because of this that more and more manufacturers are now building their own industrial network stage and associating it with industrial robots. In Ningbo, 414 "machine substitution" technical transformation projects have been completed and accepted; In Shenzhen, in order to promote the transformation of "Longgang manufacturing" to "Longgang intelligent manufacturing", the Longgang District Government even organized a "machine substitution" experience promotion meeting in every street. Some manufacturers even revealed that in the two years of implementing the "machine substitution", nearly 100 million yuan of labor costs have been saved every year.

After Shiqiang's "Industry 4.0 Innovation and Application Seminar", some participating engineers said that the seminar explained and discussed the latest and most advanced Industry 4.0 device products, cutting-edge technologies and innovative application solutions, and the engineers gained a lot.
An engineer said that through the introduction of Shiqiang, the highly intelligent door machine driver IC introduced at the conference will be used in the recent product design, and the drive capacity can be increased, and the peripheral components can be reduced, the accuracy and reliability can be improved, and the product will be smaller. Another directly said that the perfect alternative to traditional photocouplers not only solves the limited circuit board space of the products currently being designed, but also needs to take into account the problem of high-speed and low-speed digital isolation, and can save 10% of the cost compared with the products used before, which is truly a cheap solution.

The relevant person in charge of Shiqiang said: "Since its establishment 23 years ago, Shiqiang has been committed to serving the innovation of enterprises. This time, we hold a seminar to help engineers understand the relevant device products and cutting-edge technology solutions of Industry 4.0, so as to better solve their problems in innovation. Not only that, online, Shiqiang also further solves the series needs of engineers through the Shiqiang component e-commerce platform, so as to help enterprises greatly shorten the research and development time, effectively reduce development costs, and quickly improve innovation capabilities. Shiqiang hopes that through a series of online and offline efforts, it will eventually contribute its own strength to the comprehensive innovation and Industry 4.0 process of Chinese enterprises. ”
