[Before] EMO MILANO 2015 (2015 European International Machine Tool Exhibition) was held on October 5-10, 2015 at the Fieramilano Exhibition Center in Milan, Italy. The China Machine Tool & Tool Industry Association sent a delegation to visit the exhibition site to inspect the latest development trend of global machine tools. This article is an overview of the technical inspection report, and the details of the exhibits are omitted.
More than 1,600 exhibitors from 100 countries and regions participated in the exhibition, with a total exhibition area of ​​120,000 square meters. The theme of the show is "Let's build the future." As we all know, in recent years, the global economy is experiencing unprecedented and intricate situations and changes. The old and new economic models have been rapidly transformed. New technologies, new changes, and new ideas have emerged in an endless stream. Regional economic operations have been oscillating and divergent, economic recovery has been weak and downward pressure has continued to increase. Trade The rise of protectionism and increased trade frictions, and so on. Affected by this, the global machine tool industry is also in the process of deep adjustment and reshuffle, how to deal with environmental changes? How to achieve the transformation of the development model? How to adapt and face new changes in the future? These problems have become the focus of the global machine tool industry, which is generally concerned and constantly thought and explored. It has also spawned many solutions and tentative solutions, such as "Industry 4.0" advocated by Germany, "Made in China 2025" proposed by China, and promoted by the United States. Additive manufacturing technology and globally popular robotics applications. EMO MILANO 2015's theme "Let's build the future" is trying to explain to the industry colleagues what is the future that Europe will build? How will we build the future? This reflects the thinking and exploration of the current focus of the European industry.
The European Machine Tool Show has always been the vane of the development trend of global machine tool technology. Here, we will focus on the new technologies, new processes and new products that are at the forefront of the most technological development. In recent years, with the deep strategic thinking and research on the direction of industrial development, the new ideas and cross-tech applications have gradually become important and important display contents. In the following, we will introduce the display of EMO MILANO 2015 in terms of future development directions (targets), how to build the future (technology) and the latest technology trends (exhibits).

Future direction
To build the future, we must first understand what the future will develop into. What is the main direction of future development? This is a necessary link to think and solve development problems based on strategic aspects. From this exhibition, more or less can clarify the logical thinking of foreign counterparts in the future development direction, and its analysis methods and ideas are worthy of reference and reference.
From the situation reflected in this exhibition, the future development direction is mainly reflected in three aspects:

1. Resource allocation optimization is the general premise
When developing countries and regions such as Europe and the United States, when planning their development strategies, they must gradually decompose strategic objectives at all levels and in various fields from the perspective of responding to social problems and long-term development needs, and form corresponding supporting strategic measures and tasks, and focus on the above tasks. Configure resources for each industry. Under this model, the goal of integrating social resources to support social development is maximized. At present, the main social problems facing Europe are severe negative population growth and aging, resource shortages and economic downturn. Based on the actual situation of European social environment and natural environment, its development strategy chooses to adopt an intensive development strategy and pass Industrialization restored Europe's traditional advantages and status in the manufacturing sector, and solved the employment pressure with the recovery of the real economy to boost the European economy.
From the above-mentioned strategic level of intent analysis, based on historically formed high-level cost factors (human cost, energy price, resource development constraints, environmental protection requirements, etc.), if its manufacturing industry overcomes the relatively low-cost emerging economies in the competitive process, Attracting capital to stay in the region can only create cost and quality advantages over competitors by maximizing resource use efficiency and labor productivity. In other words, we must pursue differentiated competition under the optimal allocation of resources. Therefore, under this general premise, we can understand why Europe is developing intelligent and integrated manufacturing systems to replace discrete manufacturing systems, and to promote the exchange and sharing of traditional manufacturing information through information technology represented by “Industry 4.0”. . These tactical measures are designed to respond to and support the realization of the European Sustainable Development Strategic Objectives.
2. Improving efficiency is the main goal and research content
As mentioned above, as an important part of the re-industrialization strategy to boost the European economy, European manufacturing is inevitably working hard to optimize resource allocation and increase labor productivity. In this way, we can hedge against the disadvantages of labor shortage, high manpower and energy costs, and form a value advantage over competitors. Therefore, for European manufacturing and machine tool manufacturers, how to improve resource efficiency is the main goal and research content of European development and competition strategy.
As shown in the above figure, from the perspective of improving efficiency, the main research content of the current European re-industrialization strategy is divided into three levels.
(1) Basic level (software and hardware)
In order to ensure maximum processing efficiency and to best adapt to European social and resource conditions, European machine tool manufacturers are vigorously researching high-efficiency, composite, green intelligent, automated machine tools and manufacturing systems to study CNC systems and functions that meet these requirements. Components, automation systems, tool systems, measuring instruments and engineering software. Through the research of the above software and hardware, under the premise of satisfying the multi-variety, large-volume, and personalized custom manufacturing requirements, a manufacturing system with high efficiency, intensiveness, low energy consumption, high automation, and easy operation and maintenance is formed. The system can realize the idea of ​​building a factory in harmony with nature in the European manufacturing upgrading target and close to the city. High automation and ease of operation reduce the threshold for labor requirements and help promote employment. Therefore, advanced software and hardware research belongs to the basic layer, and European machine tool manufacturers are continuing to study vigorously. The corresponding results have been displayed in this exhibition.
(2) Automation, intelligent control level (control layer)
On top of the manufacturing hardware and software infrastructure with high efficiency, automation and green features, it is the control layer for management and information exchange of physical machine tools and manufacturing systems. Based on the results of computer, Internet and information technology, this level realizes real-time control and resource optimization management of the basic software and hardware layers, providing background processing and support for higher-level sharing of hardware resources and exchange of information. This layer of technology and software can be extended down to the control, measurement and feedback links of the base layer and up to the information sharing layer. This part is currently within the scope of the basic control part of the Industry 4.0 concept.
European and American machine tool manufacturers have put forward various practical programs around "Industry 4.0". The core is based on advanced manufacturing technology, with computer and information technology to enhance the effect and efficiency of manufacturing information sharing. The upper left picture shows the digital application of machine tool manufacturing by Siemens. The upper right picture shows the Gleason 4.0 gear smart manufacturing solution from Gleason's APP software.
(3) Information sharing level (value realization layer)
The information sharing level belongs to the higher-level and front-end research areas. Based on mature basic layer technology and continuous improvement of control layer, participants in the requirements realization process will share their proprietary information in the lowest cost and most efficient way. Get the resources they need, continue to form value in the industry chain, and promote the transformation of the industry chain into the value chain. For example, through this system, the consumer's personalized customization requirements can be accepted by the designer to form a design plan. The corresponding manufacturer can obtain financing support from the investor and find suitable manufacturing resources to complete the automobile manufacturing. The dealer is handed over to the distributor of the circulation link and then delivered to the user. After that, a professional service provider provides the customer with the after-sales service of the product life cycle. Since resources are fully shared, manufacturers can start production without paying a penny, and they can also complete new models without having to make large-scale investments or technical changes, and complete the tradition with a light asset model. A task that the manufacturing system cannot accomplish. Because there is no amortization of costs such as plant, equipment and warehousing investment, the price of the customized car will not be higher than that of the traditional mass-produced car, and the parties in the industrial chain will get their own under the effect of efficient use of resources. The value of return. Therefore, this layer can be referred to as the "value implementation layer."
3. Strengthen sharing is the main mode
Through the combing of the European re-industrialization strategy and the existing conditions and foundations in Europe, the current European machine tool manufacturing industry basically has the basic hardware and software support conditions in the future manufacturing system, so its main research direction is how to optimize the control layer. And to maximize the sharing of information, which is the main content of Industry 4.0 research. Due to the shortage of human resources in Europe and the relatively scattered manufacturing resources, the use of technical means to enhance information sharing can free the carrier of intelligence, people, from their units, regions and time, which will greatly enhance Europe's innovation and high-end. Competitive in the manufacturing field. Therefore, strengthening sharing will become the main mode for Europe to enhance the competitiveness of manufacturing.

How to build the future
Through the analysis of the future development direction, it can be seen that in the European understanding of the future, the effective and optimal allocation of social resources is the starting point and the foothold for planning the future development model, that is, the intensive economic development model we often say. . The main means to achieve this goal is to maximize efficiency, reduce costs and investment to form a comparative advantage in competition. In view of the current level of technological development and social reality in Europe, the main mode or way to improve efficiency is to strengthen resource turnover and sharing. Therefore, it is not difficult to understand why Europe has launched Industry 4.0, which promotes information sharing based on digital manufacturing and the Internet, and vigorously develops efficient, composite and intelligent manufacturing systems, as well as development strategies and technology development plans for developing industrial robot automation systems. This is an inevitable choice to achieve industrial development based on European social conditions, industrial environment and foundation.
As for how to build the future, the situation from the exhibition can be summarized into the following three aspects:

1. Essential basic conditions
To achieve the revival of European manufacturing, the goal and material basis of re-industrialization must be a manufacturing system with advanced performance, high degree of automation, energy saving and environmental protection, as well as unit technology, machine tool host, control system software and supporting components supporting these manufacturing systems. Wait. Therefore, at this exhibition, major exhibitors are still demonstrating their achievements in strengthening proprietary technology, process and product research, and these achievements will also become the cornerstone for the future development of the European machine tool industry to a higher level.

2. Cross technology application
The application of cross-technical fields is also a place worthy of attention in this exhibition. In order to meet the higher requirements of the re-industrialization strategy for the machine tool industry and meet the new demands of the new model and new format for the manufacturing and machine tool industries, the intersection and integration of new technologies and traditional technologies has become a feasible and reasonable Upgrade path. This is more mature and rational than the conventional technology, the new technology to the traditional industry, the subversion and substitution of the new industry, I believe this is proved through continuous practice. More representative of the new composite processing machine formed by the combination of additive manufacturing technology and CNC cutting technology, industrial robots, processing machines and measuring instruments form an unmanned manufacturing unit. The application of cross-technical results will make the manufacturing system more complete and more efficient.

3. Human resource allocation
In the framework of building the future, human factors and roles are indispensable and vital. European counterparts attach great importance to this and understand it very deeply. Without the support of corresponding human resources, ignoring the dynamic development of people in employment and innovation, it is impossible to achieve such a huge and arduous European industrial revitalization strategy. Therefore, the emphasis on human resources elements is reflected in all aspects of business management, technology and product development.

Latest technology trends
Under the influence of the above-mentioned strategic guiding ideology and industrial policy, EMO MILANO 2015 has many new technologies and products related to it, and there are also many upgrades of traditional technologies. It can be said that it is a way of "taking all the way to Rome", and constantly exploring for the realization of European revival and even the future of advanced manufacturing technology in the world.
The latest technology trends and features of this year's show are reflected in the following aspects:
● The application of five-axis machining technology and composite machining technology is more mature and extensive, and the modular configuration is more flexible;
● Manufacturing technology automation and integration requirements are more common, and processing efficiency continues to increase;
● Grinding processing technology seeks breakthrough in quality change in quantitative change;
●The application of special processing technology is further expanded;
● Efficient and comprehensive solutions are the main killers for tool applications;
● CNC technology continues to advance the theory of evolution, intelligent and scalable to become the basic ability;
● Functionalized components, application customization;
● Measurement technology integration applications become an important pillar of advanced manufacturing systems;
● Auxiliary software becomes a transmission that improves the performance of the manufacturing system.
The details of the exhibits are omitted here.

Conclusion
In summary, the general situation of EMO MILANO 2015 was introduced. Through the visit and inspection of the exhibition and the situation of the exhibition, the following profound experiences were realized:
● The developed economies of the world have completed industrialization at the stage of rapid economic development and formed a strong industrialization foundation, which also laid the foundation for the transition to a higher economic development model.
● Due to the irreconcilable contradiction in the profit model, input-output ratio, and personnel training, it is difficult to develop in parallel with other stages in the industrialization stage.
● It is necessary to have a systematic research system of strategic research and development strategy. Each industrial strategy should be the decomposition of the national development strategy intentions and objectives. The national strategy should be based on the national conditions and industrial development.
● In the process of foreign exchange and strategic research, we only pay attention to the tracking of foreign technology, neglect to study the strategic intentions of foreign development, and will not cure the symptoms, "the more we pursue, the faster we go."
● From the comparison of several exhibitions, the recession of the European economy and demand is very obvious, but it is actively taking the hedging down. In contrast, China's market demand still has a lot of room for release, and we are not using it enough.
●Compared with the China-Europe machine tool manufacturing industry, it is completely in an iterative competition. In order to achieve the goal of "Made in China 2025", there is no alternative to increasing investment to make up the class and solidify the foundation.
