不断发展的自动化生产格局

Future of enterprises 2nd edition Introduction matter experts and academic researchersin the US, China, Colombia and Sweden.The interviews were conducted between Methodology Contents Quantitative data was collected from22 markets, through 8,657 onlineinterviews held with respondents aged18 and older, in Australia, Belgium, Canada,China, Colombia, France, India, Indonesia,Italy, Germany, the Kingdom of SaudiArabia, Mexico, Portugal, Singapore, SouthKorea, Spain, Sweden, Taiwan, Thailand,the UK, the US and Vietnam. Of theserespondents, 3,214 were decision makersin the production/manufacturing domainin companies with more than250 employees. The remaining5,443 respondents were productionemployees. These respondents areestimated to represent around 145 million 03 Key findings04Top challenges keepingmanufacturers awake at night07Making production employeessmarter, swifter and safer About Consumer & IndustryLab Ericsson Consumer & IndustryLab explorethe future of technology for consumers,enterprises, and a sustainable society.We deliver world-class market research,actionable insights, and design concepts todrive innovation and sustainable business Accelerated by increasing globalization,manufacturing is in a constant race forproductivity and efficiency. One way tobring down costs, while maintaining ahigh level of quality, is fully automatedproduction, which is commonly claimedto be the future of manufacturing. Butautomation, in many cases, is neither easynor profitable due to the complex natureof tasks, the need to transfer knowledgethat is difficult to express or extract,and the current insufficient capabilitiesof automation. In addition, productionemployees say a large part of the tasksare still dull, dirty and even dangerous. Our knowledge is gained fromglobal consumer, enterprise, andsustainability research programs,including collaborations with leadingcustomers, industry partners, universities,and research institutions. Our researchprograms cover in-depth studies and All IndustryLab reports can be found at:www.ericsson.com/industrylab Acronyms and terminology used throughout this report ICT-enabled production toolsAR, VR, Exoskeletons and 6 other toolsIndustry 5.0New production model focused on AGVAutomated guided vehicleAIArtificial intelligenceAMRAutonomous mobile robotARAugmented realityICTInformation and ITInformation technologyPLCA computer used to controllingmanufacturing processesSTEMScience, technology,engineering and mathematics Key findings Dull, dangerous and dirty work isstill a reality, regardless of whatdecision makers might thinkWhile only 2 percent of decisionmakers are unsatisfied with howtheir companies work to reduce dull, A smarter, swifter, safer productionemployee is emerging, assisted byICT-enabled production tools Despite the pandemic, manufacturersare doing surprisingly well Tough global competition meansthat almost 8 in 10 manufacturersare cutting costs, however they havenavigated through COVID-19 so well In the next 5 years, 7 in 10 manufacturersexpect to have deployed at least 5 of theseproduction tools. 3 out of 4 manufacturerssay that advanced wireless technology like Production is evolving beyondthe traditional factory set-up Manufacturers using more ICT-enabledproduction tools than others are moresuccessful in almost every dimensionSome 50 percent of tool frontrunners,using 3 or more of these tools, say theyare very financially successful, which is Full automation is approaching butneither decision makers nor production employees fully grasp the consequencesWhile almost two-thirds of the surveyedmanufacturers expect to be automatedto at least 80 percent within 10 years,more than half of the productionemployees still believe more people will beneeded in similar roles by 2030, and only More than half of all manufacturersbelieve that manufacturing as-a-serviceand pop-up factories will be commonplaceby 2030, powered by the need for flexibilityand adaptability. Just as many agree Top challenges keeping During the past century, manufacturinghas shifted focus from mass-production tolean manufacturing, and from there to agrowing focus on satisfying customers’unique needs. In more recent years, toachieve this customization, the approachhas been to create small, tailor-made– which accelerate customization,and the consequent transformation ofproduction, have led to a heterogenousfactory floor. With old machines workingside by side with newer installations andIT systems, upgrading and integrating is amain challenge, especially for operations is an additional challenge that willburden manufacturing companiesincreasingly in the light of accelerating cyber theft and crime.In the wake of rising costs in manyearly industrialized countries, and withoffshoring and the move of manufacturingto lower labor cost countries, China manufacturing nation, with 29 percentof the world’s manufacturing.1 7Of the surveyed manufacturers,7 in 10 say their financialperformance is u
