How to secure data and information in the Industry 4.0 process

For “Industry 4.0”, Infineon’s understanding is to connect related elements through the Internet, so that not only the production lines and production equipment are more intelligent, but also the products that are produced and processed will become intelligent and participate in being The process of production and manufacturing comes.

The role of chip manufacturers in Industry 4.0

Industry 4.0 is both a vision and a gradual process of implementation. However, Industry 4.0 involves multiple industries and therefore cannot define a clear implementation plan. This gradual process includes several major elements: greater factory automation, deeper horizontal and vertical integration between industries, central control to decentralized intelligent control, and big data analysis.

To achieve intelligent production and manufacturing, massive devices will be interconnected, which faces two challenges: how to secure data and information, and how to maximize energy efficiency, which is what Infineon is concerned about and is committed to. challenge.

As far as semiconductor products are concerned, the chip is based on the entire Industry 4.0 architecture, solving the basic problems of integration, perception, and knowledge, and the implementation of problems. The chip companies represented by Infineon play an important role in Industry 4.0. As a chip manufacturer, Infineon has high-precision industrial sensors, actuators, microcontrollers, electronic tags and high-efficiency power devices, while its security solutions are world-leading hardware-based technologies.

Specifically, first of all, high-precision industrial sensors are the key to capturing valid data in an industrial 4.0 environment; after collecting meaningful data, high-performance microcontroller products analyze and calculate data to issue instructions to production. Intelligent control; the microcontroller then communicates the instructions to the power semiconductor to ensure efficient production; in the entire production process, data security, equipment anti-counterfeiting is the key throughout, based on nearly 30 years of safety product experience and global leadership Position, Infineon's security chip provides the highest level of security for intelligently produced data and information security.

Smart factories and smart products benefit everyone's life

Smart factories and smart products are the two major elements of Industry 4.0, and smart products will bring more intuitive feelings to ordinary consumers.

"Smart products" can benefit a variety of areas, including the company's production logistics management, human-computer interaction, future industrial production processes. Products become smarter and can be located, identified and communicated at any time. In the production process of smart products, in each product, by embedding electronic tags or external sensing, under the information physical system architecture, the product can tell the manufacturing process how it should be manufactured, knowing that it has been done. What steps, what to do next, and control which factory should go to the next step.

"Smart products" can also bring convenience to everyone's life. For ordinary consumers, users can customize products, control product production processes, and achieve personalized needs. For example, if a consumer wants to buy a car, he can set the process through the process, requesting the front door of the car to be painted white, the back door to be black, or installing a radar on a specific part of the car to better prevent collision. In the production of food or medicine, smart chips and small components can also be installed on the outer packaging, so that the food can be automatically reminded to expire, or the medicine reminds the patient to take the medicine, or some products can not be exposed to the air for too long, and the product is also Will actively remind you to cover.

In addition, Infineon's recently launched global leading atmospheric pressure sensor is also an excellent embodiment of intelligent products, which can achieve precise and stable performance over a wide temperature range, especially suitable for indoor navigation and auxiliary positioning applications, such as Floor detection in shopping plazas and parking lots, as well as outdoor navigation - in such applications, it helps to improve navigation accuracy or support "dead push algorithm" when GPS signals are not available. At the same time, it provides accurate data for calculating altitude and vertical speeds, and is suitable for activity tracking in mobile and wearable health and sports equipment.

To sum up, smart factories and smart products not only enable manufacturers to monitor and operate processes at any time and any place, but also quickly and flexibly handle the various customized design requirements of customers to benefit the ultimate consumer. This will also bring about changes in business models.

Opportunity to make 2025 in China

Infineon’s “Made in China 2025” will focus on the integration of information technology and industrialization, focusing on the development of next-generation information technology, high-end CNC machine tools and robots, advanced rail transit equipment, energy-saving and new energy vehicles, power equipment, and new materials. , agricultural machinery and equipment and other fields. At the same time, "insist on innovation drive, intelligent transformation, strengthen foundation, green development" is the main direction of China's manufacturing 2025 plan, of which smart manufacturing is the main direction.

Semiconductors play an indispensable role in the above-mentioned fields, one is to produce efficiently through power semiconductors, the other is intelligently controlled by high-performance microcontrollers, and the third is to secure data and information security in intelligent production through security chips. These are the cooperation opportunities that Infineon focuses on in the transformation and upgrading of China's manufacturing industry.

In China, Infineon has sales teams, R&D teams and factories that can integrate team strengths and promote the application of China Edition Industry 4.0 “Made in China 2025” with its hands-on experience in manufacturing and partners. A typical example, the Wuxi plant as a pilot for Infineon's global back-end, the “BEAR” project, which was implemented in 2014, has already achieved initial success in smart manufacturing and zero-defect manufacturing. BEAR aims to intelligently transform the downstream plants to achieve superior intelligent manufacturing and automation. Continuous improvement of process flow through big data manufacturing data analysis and advanced process control analysis, improving the comprehensive utilization, availability and maintainability of equipment; at the same time, reducing non-value-added activities, greatly reducing production cycle and realizing production process The whole process can be traced to achieve the goal of zero defects.

On the other hand, Infineon is also working with partners to carry out some forward-looking research and development, such as machine and machine conversations, enabling information exchange and communication between equipment and equipment to detect problems in a timely manner and enable the machine to manage itself. And further to ensure the smooth flow of production, improve production efficiency.
