Intelligent manufacturing drives the fiber optic cable industry to become bigger and stronger

Although China's Fiber Optic Cable industry's output value and output have ranked first in the world, but the entire industry is still in the "big" rather than "strong" development stage, the management level of intelligent manufacturing is still not high enough, labor-intensive features remain very obvious. At the 2016 World Fiber Optic Cable Conference held recently, Fu Tong Group President Xiao Wei threw this view. He believes that smart manufacturing is an inevitable trend in the future. China's fiber optic cable industry wants to move from "big" to "strong", and it needs all aspects of the industry to jointly improve the ability and level of intelligent manufacturing.

Xiao Wei believes that China's fiber optic cable industry is still at the level of Industry 2.0 and Industry 3.0, and the level of enterprise automation production and intelligent management needs to be improved. Intelligent manufacturing means the optimal combination of intelligent robots, sensors, data reserves and other technologies. With the help of the Industrial Internet, the company's supply chain, production process, warehousing, logistics and other aspects are intelligently connected to achieve maximum production efficiency and production process. Fully automated.

"For enterprises, development is a top priority." Xiao Wei said that to survive and develop, enterprises must improve efficiency, reduce costs, and improve management. Guided by the strategy of “Made in China 2025”, Fortis focuses on concept innovation, process innovation, process innovation and management innovation, and is committed to digital and network production, promoting robot self-organization, and ultimately building high-efficiency, energy-saving and environmentally friendly. Communication smart factory.

Futong is building an intelligent data exchange platform based on IoT technology to realize supply chain integration and optimization, enhance the independent innovation capability of enterprises, and promote refined and intelligent information management. Xiao Wei revealed that at present, Fortis has realized the reengineering of business processes by means of the customer relationship management module, realizing the precise docking between suppliers and customers; realizing intelligent manufacturing of production lines through intelligent manufacturing modules; realizing material and materials through intelligent manufacturing storage modules Integrated management of products.

The ultimate goal of Futong's advancement in intelligent manufacturing is to provide users with products and services that are more satisfied. Xiao Wei believes that the smart manufacturing strategy has two key points for Fortis, one is to create high-quality products, and the other is to provide more accurate services. Only by combining these two pieces of content will companies be able to take advantage of the ever-changing market competition.

Xiao Wei said that Fortis has already determined the enterprise intelligent manufacturing goal, that is, during the new round of the scientific and technological revolution and the transition of China's accelerated economic development mode, and firmly grasp the opportunities brought by the "Internet +" and Industry 4.0 to the optical communications industry. In 2020, the most competitive cable group in the global fiber optic cable market will be built.

It is worth mentioning that while promoting smart manufacturing, Fortis is still actively promoting the internationalization strategy. Xiao Wei revealed that Fortis has vigorously promoted internationalization based on the Chinese market, and further enriched Fortis' product line through cooperation in introducing technologies and products that are internationally advanced, as well as research results and modern management models in related technologies. Improve the level of international management, establish differentiated competitive advantages, and ultimately achieve complementary advantages and win-win.

For the prospect of the global fiber optic cable market, Xiao Wei said that the global fiber optic cable market will continue to rise steadily in 2016. The CRU report shows that the installation of fiber optic cable in the first half of the year exceeded 200 million core kilometers, and is expected to be global in 2016. The demand for fiber optic cable will exceed 440 million core kilometers, with an annual growth rate of more than 10%. In the Chinese market, with the promotion of “Broadband China”, “Internet Plus”, “Belt and Road” and “Made in China 2025”, the market will continue to show good development in the next 3 to 5 years.
