Chapter 42 How far is smart manufacturing from us? (3rd update)

"AI?"

Hearing Lin Xuan talk about artificial intelligence, many technicians or bosses in the electronics industry brightened up, and they seemed to have thought of something.

The concept of artificial intelligence has actually been proposed for a long time, but few people have been able to explain it clearly.

When they heard about the Internet and the combination of artificial intelligence and production machines, they seemed to have thought of something.

That's right! When the production machine can be connected to the Internet, and the machine can be programmed in real time and controlled remotely.

Then through big data computing, which is artificial intelligence computing control, wouldn't this allow artificial intelligence to control the operation of the machine?

As we all know, the degree of automation of many current production equipment is actually very low and can only perform repetitive and monotonous work, which requires the presence of workers.

But if the production equipment can be connected to the Internet, and there is a magical artificial intelligence on the Internet that can control the equipment and the entire production line.

So what kind of scene is this?

The role of human beings in it has been infinitely reduced. This is a future world that is extremely scary to think about!

And at this time, some people can already see that if research and development is carried out now regardless of the cost, the time to achieve such a level is very close.

It can even be said that within a few years or more, if you really want to do it regardless of the cost, you can really build such an initial model of a fully automated production line!

As for the connection and transportation problems between commodities, that is, between production equipment and assembly lines, it can be solved by industrial robots!

As long as the production equipment can be connected to the network for real-time programming, and coupled with an artificial intelligence for real-time supervision, adjustment and correction, then such a fully intelligent factory seems to be truly achievable.

All people who think about this are very frightened when they think about it. Industry 4.0 seems to be very close to them!

Could it be that they have reached the eve of the fourth industrial revolution, and will their generation have to endure the early pains of the industrial revolution?

Many people fell silent, but not many people in the electronics industry actually thought of this. Most of the bosses were looking at Lin Xuan curiously at this time.

They didn’t know the relationship between artificial intelligence, the Internet, and production equipment. Under such circumstances, Lin Xuan also solved the mystery:

"I believe many people know that artificial intelligence technology has begun to develop in recent years, and various new algorithms are constantly updated every year. Artificial intelligence has also become more and more intelligent due to the introduction and application of new algorithms.

If this situation continues to develop, artificial intelligence will become more and more specialized, and it will not be surprising to see the emergence of industrial artificial intelligence."

After a pause, Lin Xuan sighed and said:

“Once factories controlled by artificial intelligence are born, the world will inevitably see a round of industrial changes.

Which one is more favored by the bosses, a production robot that can stay awake 24 hours a day or a worker who needs five insurances and high wages?"

Hearing Lin Xuan's words, many viewers in front of the TV fell silent. They felt deep fear, the fear of being eliminated and unemployed!

Although their knowledge is limited, they don’t know that they are very close to the time when the Fourth Industrial Revolution breaks out and enlightenment, and they don’t know that it will be sixteen years later.

That is to say, in 2020, there are only 14 employees in the mobile phone production line of Guowei's flagship mobile phone, Meishan 40, while in 2015, there were 97 employees in the mobile phone production line of Guowei's flagship mobile phone!

During these five years, with the rapid advancement of "smart factory" technology, those 83 people lost their jobs!

At this time, the audience in front of the TV did not know the future situation, but when they heard Lin Xuan's words, they all felt deeply afraid of the future...

Will they be eliminated by new technologies in the future?

"So under such circumstances, what should we do? How should we embrace the industrial changes of the future, which is Industry 4.0.

After all, being an ordinary unskilled worker really doesn't have much of a future. As the Internet deeply integrates machinery in future factories, there will only be fewer and fewer employment opportunities for ordinary workers.

In this case, I have a few opinions and suggestions for ordinary people."

After a pause, looking at the serious expressions on both the elites and the bosses present, Lin Xuan looked at the camera and gave his opinions and suggestions for ordinary people.

"For an ordinary person, I recommend that they enter or learn knowledge in the three major industries.

The first is the mechanical and electrical engineering industry. Although labor can be greatly omitted after entering the Industry 4.0 era, mechanical and electrical related industries will definitely never lack job opportunities but will have more job opportunities.

After all, there are more machines. After all, whether it is designing new mechanical equipment, repairing and maintaining mechanical equipment, these all require talents in the mechanical and electrical industry.

The second industry is computer-related industries. In the future, the computer industry will definitely be the core of Industry 4.0. Moreover, in the era of rapid development of the Internet, learning to enter the computer industry is also the most profitable.

The third is the entertainment industry. In addition to film and television, music, novels and games, I won’t talk about other entertainment industries. In the era of Industry 4.0, the entertainment industry alone can support the employment and food clothing of a large number of people."

At this time, Lao Ma, with a thoughtful expression in his eyes, slowly asked:

"Lin Xuan, can you tell us what people's lives will be like after Industry 4.0 in the future?"

He is actually not interested in Industry 4.0 as Lin Xuan calls it, because he is not planning to enter the manufacturing industry.

And although he knows through his huge amount of knowledge that mankind is actually very close to the Industry 4.0 era, but so what?!

His Lao Ma is engaged in the online shopping industry. No matter how the industrial industry changes, it has nothing to do with him. After all, the nature of the industry he is engaged in is just a "commodity intermediary".

As long as there is still such behavior as buying and selling, his Taobao company will never be eliminated by Industry 4.0 as the industry changes!

Taobao company will always be invincible, the only thing that can defeat Taobao is other online shopping platforms!

Therefore, the issue he is more concerned about is actually the question he raised about how ordinary people will live in the future.

After all, how ordinary people live is really closely related to Tao Bao!

"How should I say this?"

Lin Xuan put his hand on his chin, then began to think about the various news predictions he had heard in the past, and then slowly said:

"The future era may be called the era of big data. In that era, computers will definitely develop vigorously, and computer computing power will definitely continue to improve.

When production equipment in factories is connected to the Internet, various electrical appliances in life will definitely be the first to be connected to the Internet.

All electronic devices and even furniture in people's homes will be connected to the Internet. By then, a mobile phone may be able to control the home appliances of the whole family.
