Chapter 33： Industry 4.0 in Science

Science magazine, founded by Edison in 1880 with an investment of 10,000 US dollars, became the official publication of the largest scientific organization in the United States, the American Society for the Advancement of Science, and is one of the most authoritative academic journals in the world. There were 51 issues in the whole year, and the global circulation exceeded 1 million copies.

Bao Zixuan's paper on Industry 4.0 was handed over to Professor Kevin Bowman the next day. As one of the judges and editors of the scientific journal, Professor Bowman has a direct recommendation quota, so it was sent directly to the editor-in-chief of the journal without the preliminary review. Brenda Jones' desk.

The 43-year-old working woman who graduated from the mathematics department of Columbia University has been trying to promote the number of papers in scientific journals by young scholars since she became the editor-in-chief of science magazines five years ago. His last job was CFO of Tiffany & Co., a famous fashion and luxury brand. Her work experience at Tiffany has made her demand perfection in many things.

The same scientific research results are a 60-year-old man and a 20-year-old handsome young man, which can not only attract the recognition of scientific journals by ordinary scholars, but also attract young women's yearning for scientific journals.

He wants to make Science Magazine a magazine with scientific rigor and fashion elements. This leaves the rival Nature magazine far behind.

But the ideal is beautiful, but the reality is skinny. After all, science is not a fashion. Many research results must be realized within a certain period of time. Most of the heavyweight papers and viewpoints are over 50 years old, and many are 80 years old. Young people are not very dominant in this regard. Even if there are occasional one or two talented students, they are all niche topics, or many are completed under the guidance of teachers.

Today, Brenda Jones finally waited for this opportunity. This was recommended by her friend Kevin Bowman, a genius student at MIT who was less than 20 years old. And Professor Bowman's excitement on the phone can feel his madness even through the phone.

As a friend for many years, she is very clear about Professor Bowman's personality. This German immigrant with strict academic requirements adheres to the rigorous style of the Germans. In front of him, there is no human feeling at all. It can praise one of its students so much, which proves that this student must have something special, and his thesis must have been recognized by MIT. Otherwise, Professor Bowman would not be able to put the paper directly on his desk. This is using his own reputation to endorse the student, unless the student is his illegitimate son, but fortunately, this Bao Zixuan is an authentic Xiangjiang person.

Looking at the thesis points and suggestions, Brenda Jones graduated from the Department of Mathematics. But there are some academic terms and advanced cognition that I did not understand. He immediately called all the science and engineering scholars on duty, as well as the members of the jury who could be contacted; many of them were professors of well-known universities or heads of important laboratories.

Everyone in the conference room saw this paper, which is at least 20 years ahead of this era, and was stunned by the author's ideas and data. Everyone agreed that this is the future development direction, and many of the arguments have actual basis. The unanimous approval can be used in the cover article of the latest issue to illustrate the concept of Industry 4.0, as a guide for the next stage of physical and mechanical ethics research. And many scholars should think about the connotation and scientific value of Industry 4.0. Your own schools and laboratories should set up projects and start research in advance.

Bao Zixuan didn't know that his article would cause such a big stir in the scientific journal. He is currently writing his own office software in the dormitory. It didn't catch on until his roommates showed him the latest issue of Science.

Hearing the knock on the door, Bao Zixuan opened his own door after storing the code.

After seeing that it was Joseph Kane, Bao Zixuan said hello to him, because there is little communication among the MIT men, and everyone may be more interested in scientific exploration. It's just a simple greeting when we usually meet. This is the first time someone knocked on the door looking for him.

Bao Zixuan: "What's wrong, Joseph."

Joseph Kane: "Bao, you're so boring, if Romansky told me we were still in the dark! Come on! Everyone is waiting for you in the living room!"

When Bao Zixuan followed Joseph Kane to the living room, he saw everyone looking at him like a monster, and said, "What's the matter, everyone, what's the situation."

Martin Griff was born with a black hip-hop atmosphere, and said: "Bao, you are now a big celebrity in the scientific world! Since we moved together, we have never had a meal or a celebration, look at you. It's not like someone who is short of money, so we must slaughter you hard. This time it's not an AA system, how about you bear it!"

In the United States, everyone eats in the AA system, and these science and engineering men rarely go out to parties. But after Martin Griff finished speaking today, everyone thought it was very reasonable. After all, they have lived together for more than half a month. We can take this opportunity to get to know and communicate well. And it is also right to go out and relax occasionally, after all, people are not machines.

Bao Zixuan: "These are all right, but you have to tell me what happened!"

Thomas Marr: "You don't know yet! Michael, show him, you have the science journal!"

After finishing speaking, Michael Mellon handed the latest issue of Science Magazine to Bao Zixuan. "Take a good look! You are now a famous scholar of industrial theoretical physics." Michael Mellon said to Bao Zixuan.

In fact, Michael Mellon was filled with emotion. He didn't expect that the youngest roommate among them would be recognized by a scientific journal. It seemed that he should have a good relationship with him.

After Bao Zixuan took over the science magazine, he saw that the future development direction of industry - Industry 4.0 was written on the cover, and a 20-year-old MIT boy Bao Zixuan was written in small print below to give you a new understanding of industrial development.

Seeing this, Bao Zixuan did not expect that Professor Bowman could recommend his paper as a cover article. It seems that this professor has a lot of energy! In fact, Professor Bowman does not have such a large amount of energy. It is a decision that all scholars agree on, but Bao Zixuan doesn't know it.

At the same time, the subscription units and individuals of the latest issue of the scientific journal have seen the industry 4.0 sentiment. Because it is a dissertation, Bao Zixuan is much more detailed than what he expressed in class. He not only briefly introduced the concept of Industry 4.0, but also explained the characteristics of Industry 4.0.

When everyone sees the basic characteristics of Industry 4.0, one is people-centered. Industry 4.0 is a strategy centered on people (customers, producers, managers, and employees), and the manufacturing life cycle (design-manufacturing-logistics-sales) -Maintenance) Interact with customers, drive production, sales and logistics by customers, and pursue the best experience for consumers.

The second is digital link. The foundation of Industry 4.0 is communication, which means that equipment, technology, production lines, industries, factories, products, workers, managers, suppliers, customers and services are closely digitally linked in one device. In fact, this paragraph of Bao Zixuan has been rectified according to the terminology of this era, so that it does not look so unrestrained.

The third is a new factor. Data has become an important production factor. Sensors are everywhere, smart devices are everywhere, smart terminals are helpless, and connected devices are everywhere.

The fourth is collaboration and integration. Industry 4.0 is not a specific technology, it is the collaboration and integration of a series of existing or developing specific technologies.

The fifth is automation. The manufacturing industry will transform from isolated automation units to integrated automation equipment, which will be able to communicate with each other, thereby improving the flexibility, speed, productivity and quality of manufacturing systems.

The sixth is intelligence. Industry 4.0 is committed to producing smart products, creating smart programs and processes, building smart factories, developing smart services, and ultimately realizing a smart industrial system.

Seventh, everything is a service. Industry 4.0 changes products from focusing on production to services, from selling products to selling services or both.

Eighth: Big ecology. Industry 4.0 will use the new industrial platform to build a wider and larger ecosystem than before, and realize the allocation of resources and elements in a wider range.

This common feeling in the 21st century has caused a great sensation in universities, laboratories, and enterprises in this era, making Baozixuanzai famous in the technology circle at once. At MIT, which is full of geniuses, everyone is a celebrity, and science and engineering men are very simple. Whoever has good research results will be respected and recognized by everyone. To this end, we have also received job offers from many schools and enterprises.
