Chapter 1241: The Prototype of Future Industry
If it is said that after seeing the factory of Zhongshan New Materials, Wang Wei's heart is only shocked. Then after seeing the next scene, he couldn't describe the shock in his heart in words.
According to Lu Zhou's prompt, he selected the type of product he needed on the tablet, as well as a series of parameters such as load, size, size, design style, etc., and then the two of them took the car to the restaurant where they dined.
At lunchtime, when he followed Lu Zhou back to the factory again, the prototype of the drone he "ordered" on the tablet had stopped in front of him.
Yes, it's the kind of prototype that can fly.
In less than two hours, the drone went from an "idea" to a reality. If it weren't for the world-renowned university scholars standing next to him, he wouldn't even be able to help but suspect that this was actually prepared by Star Technology a long time ago, and it was just to make such a bells and whistles "custom program" in order to have an eye-shocking effect.
Looking at Wang Wei, who had been completely surprised and stood there without saying a word, Lu Zhou smiled, looked at the logistics drone with a unique shape, and explained.
"Piate's battery, Dajiang's electric drive, Huawei's carbon core, Zhongshan New Material's electrode and blade materials...... All orders for parts are docked in the background of the Xinghai No. 1 server, and transported to the assembly center in the park through an automated logistics system, where they are assembled by two pairs of industrial-grade robotic arms. Surprised? ”
Wang Wei was silent for a while before nodding.
“…… I was surprised. ”
Don't say it's a surprise.
He couldn't even imagine how it had all been done in just two hours.
Even if the relationship between Star Technology and major manufacturers is iron enough, and the best salesman is sent to discuss cooperation, it will take a lot of time to establish the entire production industry chain from scratch.
In any case, this is not a task that can be accomplished in two hours.
Seeing the surprise on Wang Wei's face, Lu Zhou smiled faintly and said.
"I understand your surprise, in fact, since the birth of the concept of industry, the effective allocation of resources and the docking of resources are the two major bottlenecks restricting the development of productive forces."
"If a milk factory wants to produce a carton of canned milk, it first has to confirm the demand from the market, and then rely on its own industry experience or social connections in the entire industrial system to select suitable canners and ranches, and sign contracts with them to form a simple industrial chain."
"This process we call resource docking."
"It's easy to describe, but the fact is that there are a lot of hidden costs that we can see and can't see. For example, the interpersonal relationship of the business owner himself, the interests of the management, and even the regulation and control of regional policies. Normally, we can't determine whether an industrial chain is efficient, and we can only screen it through the market, so that the relatively efficient part survives, and the relatively inefficient part goes bankrupt. ”
"In this model, we are able to ensure that social resources flow to the maximum extent possible and to places where they can be used as efficiently as possible."
"So the question is, why is it that a monopoly giant that operates both a ranch, a cannery, and a dairy processing company tends to have greater market competitiveness in the market than those that only play a single link in the industrial chain?"
Hearing Lu Zhou's sudden question, Wang Wei didn't think about it for long.
In fact, the answer is obvious.
"Because they can control the cost of each production link, and complete the docking of production resources within the enterprise, the cost of this part is minimized. If the whole industrial chain is longer, the more links they monopolize, the more efficient they will be in theory. ”
Lu Zhou smiled and nodded.
"That's basically it."
"In fact, the biggest improvement of smart industry compared with traditional industry lies in this. All links with human involvement are uncertain and inefficient, including the docking of resources. ”
"Therefore, we use AI to replace manual labor and efficiently allocate this part of resources."
"Since two years ago, Jinling High-tech Park has been playing this big game of chess to build an intelligent manufacturing system. By establishing an independent quality standard system, we assign production tasks to each production unit included in the system through computers, and AI builds the entire industrial chain instead of manual labor. ”
"The first to use this system was the Xiangrui Aerospace Aircraft, and many people were puzzled at that time why we could build an aerospace aircraft out of thin air without a factory."
"In fact, the plane was not built by us at all, it was only assembled in our equipment center. The parts needed for assembly are automatically assigned by the computer to the factory that can complete it through standardized orders. We decide what we want to produce in one day, and then the next day the industrial machines start working for our needs. ”
Looking at Wang Wei, whose face was more and more shocked, Lu Zhou said with a smile.
"I want to give this drone as a gift to Mr. Wang."
"I don't know if Mr. Wang minds.?"
"How can you mind?"
Gradually recovering from the shock, Wang Wei looked at Lu Zhou, and said with a solemn expression on his face, "I accepted this valuable gift on behalf of Shunfeng Group!" ”
……
After returning to Shenzhen from Jinling, Wang Wei has been thinking about it in the past few days.
What he saw when he visited Jinling High-tech Park that day deeply shocked him.
It wasn't until that moment that he really felt that the entire Jinling Happy Technology Park was really strong.
Xinghai No. 1 is like a brain.
This brain has established a set of production standards, and every factory that meets this set of standards has been incorporated into this production system called "smart industry".
Under the domination of this brain, every factory in the park that is included in this "intelligent manufacturing system" is like a muscle cell connected by a complete nervous system network.
Although they are not related to equity and are not affiliated with a unified group, the overall power they have burst out is enough to rival any monopoly giant in the world in terms of efficiency and cost.
For some reason, Wang Wei suddenly had a strange association in his heart.
Maybe in the near future, everyone will be able to open a factory.
Of course, this factory may not exist at all, but is just an abstract concept.
An ordinary person, as long as he has basic design knowledge, can create products that meet his needs through DIY customization and assembly of standardized parts. Just like inputting parameters to a 3D printer, the entire intelligent industrial system is like a large-scale 3D printer, serving the whole society.
Everything is done in the entire smart manufacturing network, there is no need for a run-in process, and all individuals operate in an efficient and transparent system, seamlessly connecting production capacity with demand.
A prototype of the industry of the future seems to be taking shape.
If it can really grow and mature, maybe it will not only be the middlemen who will be eliminated, but people's creativity will also be completely liberated...... And not just in the hands of a few big capitalists.
Labor will become cheaper and cheaper, knowledge and creativity will become more and more valuable, and all the needs of society can be accurately met and more satisfied from this "wishing machine".
Although these things have nothing to do with his Shunfeng Group at present, Wang Wei's mind is active.
Although he has seen the prototype of this future industrial system, it seems that Star Technology has not yet connected to individual users, but has only realized the docking between factories in the park.
His Shunfeng Group's strong strength in the field of logistics can completely fill the market gap in this area and connect this intelligent manufacturing system with users.
Thinking of this, his breathing couldn't help but become slightly shorter.
It was like a gold mine right in front of him......
After returning to the group, he immediately found the vice president of the group and ordered.
"Immediately contact the people on the side of Star Technology, and I plan to package the whole thing for them to do about the intelligent logistics network."
The vice president said, "Don't you need to have a meeting to discuss?" ”
Wang Wei said in a deep voice: "I will persuade the board of directors, and you can just do what I say." ”
“…… But the cooperation with the new technology intelligent manufacturing side. ”
"Cooperation with Star Technology is more important," a trace of entanglement flashed on his face, but Wang Wei still made a decision, "As for the side of Xinke Intelligent Manufacturing...... Pay them the liquidated damages. ”
