As a part of the future factory, the traditional industrial manufacturing workshop began to move towards intelligence. Intelligent factory obtains customer demand, production status, raw materials, personnel, equipment, production process, environmental safety and other information for real-time data analysis, so as to realize automatic decision-making and accurate command execution. Industry insiders once asserted that "industry does not need the Internet." Because industrial production pays attention to standardization and process, this seems to be completely different from the openness of the Internet. In the past two years, artificial intelligence technology has been gradually applied to industrial production, and artificial intelligence factories have begun to spread all over the world and continue to improve and mature. By definition, intelligent factory is a factory that combines traditional manufacturing factory with information technology (it) to improve production efficiency.

In the future smart factory, each production link is clearly visible and highly transparent: information and production form a closely related network. The whole workshop operates quietly and efficiently. Intelligent machines not only cooperate with each other, but also with employees, customers and customers all over the world and intelligent analysis dynamic systems, which are distributed in all links of the whole supply chain. As a part of the future factory, the traditional industrial manufacturing workshop also began to move towards intelligence. The CNC automation equipment is interconnected through the network and software management system. The intelligent factory can obtain the customer demand, production status, raw materials, personnel, equipment, production process, environmental safety and other information for real-time data analysis, so as to realize automatic decision-making and accurate command execution.

Artificial intelligence into the workshop brings the following four advantages: first, an efficient and flexible production mode. Implement intelligent manufacturing, promote the transformation from production mode to control mode, optimize process flow, reduce production cost, and promote the improvement of labor efficiency and production efficiency. The second is the effective cooperation and integration of the industrial chain. Promote the application of intelligent manufacturing technology in the equipment manufacturing industry, promote the seamless cooperation of the industrial chain in R & D, design, production and manufacturing, and lay a foundation for further improving the cooperation efficiency of the industrial chain. Third, new production and service-oriented manufacturing. The implementation of intelligent manufacturing promotes the transformation from a production-oriented organization to a service-oriented organization. Through the use of key technologies of intelligent manufacturing such as Internet of things, big data and cloud computing, it continues to give birth to new business models and service forms such as remote operation and maintenance and intelligent cloud services, so as to comprehensively improve innovation and service capabilities. Fourth, collaborative development and cloud manufacturing. Realize information sharing, integrate advantageous resources, implement collaborative innovation in various industrial chain links, and promote the optimal allocation of manufacturing resources and manufacturing capacity, so as to improve labor productivity and product quality.

With the efforts of intelligent workshop, the intelligent factory also began to move forward steadily, and the foundation for intelligent manufacturing also began to be laid. In the digital manufacturing era, the boundary between the physical world and the digital world has been removed. It is the general trend to replace traditional manpower with intelligent technologies such as robots. The workshop of artificial intelligence will be the trend in China and even the world in the next 10 years, and outline a new future for the manufacturing industry.
