Guangdong promotes deep integration of "AI+electromechanical"

Relying on a strong foundation in the electromechanical industry chain, Guangdong is fully committed to building the "smart brain" of the manufacturing industry, promoting the industry's transition from automation to intelligence and autonomy. Recently, the Guangdong Provincial Party Committee has clearly stated that it will focus on the development direction of "AI+mechatronics" deep integration in the current and future period, and make efforts in mechatronics integration and software hardware coordination, continuously consolidating the foundation of "machine", strengthening the advantages of "electricity", and deepening the leadership of "intelligence", striving to build a world-class new mechatronics integration and artificial intelligence new trillion yuan industrial cluster, accelerating the transition from a manufacturing province to a manufacturing strong province, and ensuring that Guangdong always holds the initiative in the new round of global intelligent manufacturing competition.

When the AI wave sweeps across the global manufacturing industry, Guangdong's unique industrial system is a powerful foundation for the stable and far-reaching development of the new mechatronics integration model. From precision reducers to servo motors, from mold steel to assembly lines... Guangdong has the world's most dense, longest, and deepest "electromechanical industry chain", with 10 trillion yuan industrial clusters including the new generation of electronic information and automobiles; There are 76000 industrial enterprises above designated size, with a total revenue of over 19 trillion yuan, both ranking first in the country; Industrial robot production accounts for 44% of the country's total, ranking first in the country for five consecutive years; 70% of the national robot core component enterprises are concentrated in the Pearl River Delta region, and the average response cycle for complete machine matching is only one week; Consumer grade drones account for over 70% of the global market, while the production of new energy vehicles accounts for approximately 25% of the country's total.

"As a major manufacturing province in China, electromechanical integration is an important support for building a strong manufacturing country, and also a key track for Guangdong to adhere to the leadership of the manufacturing industry and build a modern industrial system." Yang Zhongmin, academician of the CAE Member and president of South China University of Technology, said that Guangdong's strong talent pool and industrial accumulation have laid a solid foundation for Guangdong to explore the integration and development of new electromechanical integration.

"Mechatronics is the foundation of manufacturing in Guangdong. The advantageous industries such as intelligent equipment, robots and new energy vehicles are essentially the product of the deep integration of machinery, electricity, network and intelligence." Gao Wen, academician of the CAE Member and director of Pengcheng Laboratory, said that Guangdong has the most complete electromechanical industry chain and the most intensive communication infrastructure in the country, and is fully equipped with the hard conditions to advance and test new technologies.

The essence of the past 'mechatronics integration' was to make machines listen: sensors sense signals, controllers issue commands, and motors execute actions. The new mechatronics integration is not a physical combination of 'mechanics+electronics', but a chemical fusion of' mechanics+AI+data ': making machines not only listen, but also perceive, make decisions, and evolve. ”Tao Jingwen, Vice Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd., said that the core of mechatronics integration is to achieve human-machine collaboration and the integration of device perception, decision-making, and control; The addition of AI is driving the comprehensive upgrade of industries from preset execution to autonomous decision-making and intelligent iteration. The deep integration of the two is the advantage for Guangdong manufacturing to further move towards high-end and intelligent development.

At present, the integration technology of "AI+electromechanical" in Guangdong has been practically applied in multiple fields such as intelligent factory transformation and industrial inspection scenarios, forming the most complete full chain electromechanical manufacturing advantage in the country, leading domestic cutting-edge digital technology reserves, and covering a massive number of application scenarios in the primary, secondary, and tertiary industries. In the intelligent factories of companies such as Midea and Gree, AI quality inspection has covered multiple core production lines, and industrial vision models widely replace manual quality inspection.

It is reported that many places in Guangdong Province have taken the lead in implementing supporting policies. Guangzhou has introduced special measures to build a embodied intelligent industry innovation center, covering more than ten application fields such as manufacturing and logistics; Shenzhen, Foshan, Dongguan and other places have formulated landing rules that are in line with local industrial characteristics, focusing on differentiated advantages such as core component research and development, industrial scene landing, and whole machine manufacturing base construction, to promote the continuous progress of "Guangdong Manufacturing" towards a new blue ocean of "Guangdong Intelligent Manufacturing" industry.
