Increase productivity 中 企 as 'fair Smart Factory'


"As production identify possible power sensor
moving on a smart, low-cost factory experience"


 
Sung-Hoon Ahn


Recently, Amazon has filed six US patents related to clothes in the "smart factory" technology that can be delivered to consumers as custom manufacturing and quick. Use of information and communication technologies (ICT) to the Amazon and threatening the small retailers are moving to that report over to manufacturing.

South Korea has a high percentage share of total manufacturing industry. Accounting for about one-third of the gross domestic product (GDP). However, manufacturing labor productivity per worker is half the level of developed countries such as the US, Germany and France. This happens in the future is the bigger problem. Manufacturing powerhouse to compete and we have to revolutionize the traditional labor-intensive manufacturing to the smart factory has preempted the upper hand in the fourth round of industrial revolution. Korea is difficult to expect manufacturers will continue to develop and aging rapidly with decreasing population and without increasing productivity gotta performed until 52 weeks time.

Domestic manufacturers, except for some large companies such as Samsung, LG are having robots, sensors, ICT, big data, or does not build a high level of smart factory that uses artificial intelligence to even operate some of the established smart factory system problems . Smart Factory is a technology that by incorporating ICT know what's out manufacturing consumer analyze these data with artificial intelligence faster than the products you want happening on the production floor.

I inde sensor that rings the link between the factory and the factory data, smart country does not make good use of the sensor to get the basic manufacturing data. Because the cost of installing and operating the sensors and additional equipment seureopgi the burden as small businesses. In addition, even if the accumulated data produced as measured by the sensor may not be useful to take advantage of this. There is no manpower to collect and accumulate a big data via sensors can be utilized in the manufacturing floor.



So it needs a new strategy. To establish a 'fair Smart Factory' with essential functionality than importing expensive imported as a smart factory technology and equipment, such as the United States and Germany. Proper Smart factory to build a low-cost hardware and software can also be operated by its own small staff.

One simple example of forming the optimal smart factory may kkopeul the power sensor. Power sensor can be found when combining the measurement of electrical energy used in the production equipment, and the communication state and the production of equipment being movable in a domestic plant in real time, from any location around the world either. If you know the product output in real-time locate the bottlenecks resulting from the production line can improve my productivity. If further connected a switch for remote control of various devices in the power sensor it may reduce the power wasted energy. Some plants may be difficult for high-level appropriate smart factories apply depending on the product. But even simple busy contemplating whether or not to see introduced as soon faces better than wasting your time. I do not fear failure is important. Proper smart factory is not much to lose, even if that fails, it is possible to build even with low installation costs. If not the practice of the Amazon around the world there are many factories moving to smart factories. Given the domestic SMEs to prepare to respond to smart factory of the rival company time it seems not so much.
