Informatization is not high

It is understood that the modern society is in the midst of major historical changes from the industrial society to the information society. Industry informatization has become an inevitable trend. However, the road to informatization in China's machine tool industry seems to be a long way to go. Today, the degree of informatization of China's machine tools is not high and there are difficulties in its development.

At present, the degree of informatization in China's machine tool industry is not high. Although some enterprises have made some progress in recent years, they have mainly stayed in the digitization of CAD, CAM, and CAPP. Design software applications. In the situation where the management informationization level is still relatively backward, the application of enterprise resource planning (ERP), supply chain management (SCM), and customer relationship management (CRM) systems is not yet mature.

At present, there are not many companies that fully implement ERP. Although the implementation of financial management, inventory management, etc. is still relatively mature, production planning management and cost management are still weak items, especially the integration of production management, shop floor plan management and cost management and financial management is not high. In addition, the company's production and assembly automation is low, and most of the machine tools are assembled by hand. Solving these problems requires a more flexible manufacturing system, which undoubtedly brings difficulties to the implementation of information systems.

At present, there are two major difficulties in advancing the informatization of the Chinese machine tool industry. First, the informatization of enterprises must be based on the standardization of product data, that is, bottom-up data must be accurate and detailed; second, on the basis of standardization of production data, companies must Internal and external production, sales, service, and management networks must achieve information integration and sharing. Here, a single machine tool equipment will often become an “information isolated island” of the company and will not be well utilized, resulting in a waste of production capacity.

In addition, the sales and service networks of manufacturing companies are often spread all over the country. How to integrate the resources and information in different places is the difficulty in the development of the company. Especially in the machine tool industry where product types are complex, real and reliable product data and standardized work processes can effectively avoid huge economic losses caused by human errors during work. It is precisely because the machine tool industry has the characteristics of complex product processes and diverse types of requirements that make the information construction in this field appear particularly urgent.
