Abstract:

Enabling technology in the process of intelligent manufacturing is an effective way to accelerate the transformation of furniture intelligent manufacturing and rapidly improve the high-quality development of the furniture industry. This work summarizes the fundamental theory, basic technology research, and application on furniture intelligent manufacturing in the past 30 years, and identifies the enabling technologies and implementation strategies needed for high quality development. On the one hand, two major technical systems are proposed: basic and process technology innovation, frontier and enabling technology for high-quality development of furniture intelligent manufacturing. This work has built an intelligent manufacturing technology system platform for high-quality development, including: overall architecture, core objectives and content, theoretical breakthroughs and basic guarantees, enabling technologies, new development models, implementation strategies, etc. The system is constructed from the aspects of theoretical breakthrough, basic guarantee, basic and process technology innovation, and new enabling technology, and the high-quality development goal of high-quality, efficient, low-consumption, green and safe furniture is set. It defines the core contents of five aspects of intelligent furniture products, intelligent production, intelligent factory, intelligent logistics and intelligent service, and puts forward the ideas of accelerating basic and process technology innovation such as automatic data collection and processing, information integration, industrial Internet/Internet of Things, modeling and simulation, etc. It also expounds the application scenarios of new technologies composed of big data technology, industrial robot technology, intelligent scheduling and control technology, virtual reality and augmented reality technology, and interprets the implementation methods of cutting-edge technologies such as cloud computing and edge computing, digital twin, artificial intelligence, and software-defined. On the other hand, the technical system is summarized, including: the technical system built by the furniture information control platform, the digital technology system based on the whole life cycle of furniture products, and technical system for sustainable development of furniture intelligent manufacturing. Finally, future research proposals are put forward for the high-quality development of new-generation intelligent manufacturing technologies in furniture enterprises: reshaping the enterprise development model by combining the digital integration model of the whole life cycle, the connected factory model, and the business model of home products; using data-driven, software-defined, virtual-real combination and systemic connection to strengthen the implementation of new strategies.
