Smart Factories Have Become a Trend in Plastic Industry
Since 2015, the world has witnessed a new wave of technological innovation represented by the Internet of Things, cloud computing, big data and mobile Internet. Countries regard intelligent manufacturing as the pillar and core of revitalizing the real economy and emerging industries, as well as the basis and key to enhancing competitiveness and sustainable development capacity. Germany has proposed Industry 4.0, and the United States has proposed industrial Internet. China officially released the " Made in China 2025 strategy" as a national strategy for the development of intelligent manufacturing, manufacturing industry transformation and upgrading, accelerate improve the intelligent level of manufacturing.

Some domestic plastic manufacturing enterprises have been exploring their own intelligent manufacturing transformation and upgrading road, intelligent products, intelligent services and intelligent production, and the interconnection technology is the foundation of intelligent manufacturing. Plastic product production workshop includes extruder, raw materials, auxiliary equipment, etc., integrated equipment layer, control layer and workshop layer industrial control system and manufacturing management system.

The national intelligent manufacturing strategy has promoted the transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing industry, and made it develop to informatization, intelligence and refinement. Industrial connectivity standards are the basis for manufacturing, which requires in-depth integration of data connectivity.
In plastic production workshop oriented to intelligent manufacturing, information exchange from the device layer through workshop layer and even businesses are required, so as to make manufacture management system effectively carrying on the production scheduling and resource allocation, and real-time monitoring the production condition and equipment information.

On the other hand, plastic production process is complex. Extrusion equipment, injection molding equipment, auxiliary equipment and related automation equipment must cooperate to form an intelligent production unit. Interconnection achieves efficient information docking and product traceability to improve the production efficiency and product quality of the whole system.
As an expert in auxiliary equipment of extrusion production line, Walthmac is committed to the transformation of traditional plastic industry from traditional manufacturing to intelligent manufacturing, providing enterprises with comprehensive solutions based on automation, networking, platform and big data. We have accumulated rich experience in the research and practice of the interconnection technology of plastic manufacturing plants for intelligent manufacturing.
