After the German government put forward the "industry 4.0" strategy, the United States, South Korea, Japan and other countries have also issued new strategies to promote the national industrial development. China announced "made in China 2025" on May 8, 2015, which is known as the Chinese version of "industry 4.0" plan, reflecting the determination and strength of the country to revitalize the manufacturing industry. As an important part of the manufacturing industry, the circuit board industry is facing a new situation and new opportunities under the major national decision-making. If we grasp the major opportunities under the new situation, it will become an important topic for every industry.

 

 

 

 

On August 26, the "2015 Shenzhen PCB Industry Development Forum" jointly sponsored by Shenzhen PCB Industry Association, Taiwan PCB Association, Guangdong printed circuit industry association, electronic information industry branch of China Council for the promotion of international trade and Reed Exhibitions group was held in Shenzhen Convention and Exhibition Center. With the theme of "looking forward to the trend and helping development", the industry development forum invited well-known enterprises, senior advanced and PCB industry experts to share knowledge and experience on the themes of "mobile communication devices, high frequency, high-tech materials, Internet of things, Internet of vehicles, industrial 4.0 robot automation", so as to promote the exchange and development of PCB industry.

 

 

 

Some thoughts on electronic information manufacturing industry in industry 4.0 Era

 

 

 

 

Liu Shufeng, general manager of Guangdong Shengyi Technology Co., Ltd., took the lead in bringing you "Some Thoughts on electronic information manufacturing industry in industry 4.0 era". He said that there are many different voices about the development of the circuit board industry in the industry 4.0 era. In terms of the current development stage of China's circuit board industry, industry 4.0 far exceeds the development of the existing technology of most domestic factories. Therefore, some people suggest that industry 4.0 is actually a "trap" for China.

 

 

 

In fact, German industry 4.0 is a development strategy based on Germany's existing industrial manufacturing base. However, there is still a big gap between China and Germany in terms of industrial manufacturing. It is unrealistic to copy their strategy too much and rigidly set it on the basis of the industry that we have not yet kept up with. Therefore, the state proposes "made in China 2025" which is more in line with the development pace of China's manufacturing industry at the present stage.

 

 

 

In addition, the customized production mode of small, medium and large quantities in PCB industry has 4.0 characteristics to a large extent, that is, in a sense, the traditional manufacturing industry is more inclined to 4.0 mode. This shows that China's manufacturing industry, especially the circuit board industry, can gradually look forward to industry 4.0 on the basis of following the current development strategy. This also requires enterprises to innovate in technology, ability, environment and management, and gradually achieve automation and intelligence, so as to drive the manufacturing industry to generate strong energy to cope with the new environment and promote the industry to develop in a better direction.

 

 

 

Foresee the new appearance of application and development of electronic industry

 

 

 

 

Dong Zhongming, a researcher at the Institute of industrial technology, shared with you "foreseeing a new outlook for the application and development of the electronic industry". It has been said that nowadays people carry at least one circuit board (mobile phone, computer, tablet) every day. Indeed, circuit board, as the father of electronic industry, determines the application and development of electronic industry to a large extent. So in recent years, there are different opinions about the killer application of electronic products. Once, PC and tablet were proud of the market, which could be called the killer application of the electronic industry at that time. However, with the development of the times, PC and tablet have gradually become "the yellow flower of tomorrow". A large wave of emerging products such as intelligent mobile devices and automotive electronics have come one after another, forming a new scene for the application and development of the electronic industry!

 

 

 

It can be said that in the current situation of slow development of the industry, the Internet of things, intelligent mobile devices and automotive electronics are the activating factors of the circuit board industry. Circuit board industry on the basis of existing, actively to these new application innovation transformation and upgrading, may be able to liberate the slow pace of the circuit board industry, stride forward in a new direction.

 

 

 

Development trend of high end power supply and its requirement for PCB

 

 

 

 

If circuit board is the father of electronic industry, then power supply is the supporting existence for electronic equipment. Any exquisite electronic equipment without power supply is equivalent to a piece of scrap iron. So the development of power supply also plays a very important role in the development of electronic industry. In this regard, Huang Wei, the manufacturing director of power supply division of Great Wall Computer Shenzhen company, put forward "development trend of high end power supply and requirements for PCB".

 

 

 

Nowadays, high-end power supply is developing towards high efficiency, high power density, high environmental tolerance, safe and reliable, digital and intelligent. To a certain extent, it puts forward new requirements for PCB, which requires PCB to have innovative breakthroughs in the process flow of hole copper quality, deformation control, mark point accuracy, etc., so as to accelerate the process of catalytic circuit board industry from low-end market to high-end market.
