The industrial intelligent computer, which deeply integrates computer science and industrial automation technology, has recently made its debut in Shenzhen. This product integrates the calculation and control of industrial sites, greatly improving the performance of the calculation and control system.

Industrial intelligence machine series technology innovation originates from the Institute of Computing Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences. “Industrial intelligence machine has achieved a breakthrough in key technologies in the field of high-end industrial control computing, laying a solid foundation for the development of intelligent manufacturing,” said Han Yinhe, a researcher at the Institute of Computing Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

The series of industrial intelligent machine products based on PC technology is a major achievement in promoting the transformation of scientific and technological achievements and upgrading traditional industries through the cooperation of “industry university research application investment”. It demonstrates the latest progress of Chinese enterprises in grasping the new trend of industrial automation development and promoting new quality production through technological innovation.

Industrial automation is the foundation and upstream of industry, and China has long been relatively weak in global competition in this field. To develop new industrialization, promote new quality productivity, and achieve independent and controllable industrial automation equipment is an inevitable path.

In recent years, the digital transformation of the manufacturing industry has deepened, and industrial sites have become increasingly complex. Previously, industrial control often involved relatively simple control algorithms and application software; Nowadays, industrial sites involve more process algorithms, AI algorithms, complex motion control algorithms for more axes, etc. Therefore, a more powerful computing terminal that can match the application is needed to complete them.

Compared with traditional industrial control systems, the new industrial intelligence machine integrates all functions of PLC (Programmable Logic Controller), industrial computer, motion controller, motion control card, industrial gateway, and edge server, pushing the traditional “customized hardware+closed software” mode towards a new mode of “unified hardware+intelligent software”. The biggest feature of this series of products is the integration of computing and control.

There are two major “souls” of artificial intelligence machines: one is the independently developed industrial operating system MetaOS; The second is the self-developed industrial programming platform MetaFacture. Li Xiaoning, Senior Product Director of Zhongke Era, said that the industrial intelligent machine product system can bring users three major values: first, simplifying the control system; Secondly, shorten the development cycle; The third is to improve the efficiency of remote operation and maintenance for users through deep integration of IoT technology.

At present, industrial intelligence machines and related technologies are being applied in industries such as semiconductors, lasers, 3C electronics, photovoltaics, wind power, petroleum, and steel, and industrialization is steadily advancing, becoming a strong support for promoting industrial intelligence.
