Manufacturing Technology and Machine Tools in the New Century (3)

The integration of science and technology, especially the integration of information technology and manufacturing technology, is the main direction of the development of mechanical manufacturing technology in the late 20th century. This trend will continue to deepen in the 21st century. The meaning of deepening includes not only the breadth of the field of science and technology integration, but also the depth of its integration. From the perspective of the comprehensive field, it is not only the initial mechatronics, but also the integration of machine, electricity, light, liquid, gas, instrument and calculation. This synthesis covers materials science, biology, life sciences, atomic physics, chemistry, management science, finance, business, humanities, social sciences, psychology, etc., and can be said to cover all fields. From the perspective of depth, the degree of integration is getting deeper and deeper, and there are many problems that are difficult to say in which field. It has been proposed to reclassify science and technology. The boundaries between science and technology are becoming increasingly blurred. The integration and integration of science and technology, this is the meaning of integration, and the word integration has their meaning as a whole.

Integration also includes integration of the entire production process. Concurrent engineering encompasses the integration of design and manufacturing. CIMS (Integrated Manufacturing System) is the integration of design, manufacturing, inspection, transportation, supply and management. Pre-sales service, after-sales service and design, manufacturing are being integrated, and the meaning of after-sales service should include remanufacturing. Constantly updating and increasing the knowledge and technical content in the use of the product will be a continuation of manufacturing, which means that manufacturing and use will become a whole.

Integration also includes integration within and outside the enterprise, vertical and horizontal integration, including geographic integration. Cooperation between multinational corporations and various enterprises has become a trend, and global manufacturing has become a trend of manufacturing technology development.

When it comes to integration, development must be considered as part of the overall social development. Technological progress is only a means to integrate it into the development of human beings, society, culture and the whole of nature, and to integrate them as a whole.

The 21st century will require products to accelerate innovation, and innovation must require the full use of the integration of the latest science and technology, especially with cutting-edge science and technology.

3 Bio-manufacturing technology will achieve important development in the 21st century

It is foreseen that the 21st century will be the era of biological science. Especially today, when major breakthroughs have been made in genetic engineering, this understanding has been deepened. Undoubtedly, the development of biological sciences and technology will also have a major impact on manufacturing technology. An important direction of manufacturing technology - bio-manufacturing technology is taking shape.

Bio-manufacturing technology includes two aspects. One is to use new discoveries and new achievements in biological science and technology for manufacturing. The evolution of biology has been tens of thousands of years, and even hundreds of millions of years of history, and manufacturing has mainly developed in recent centuries. The self-organization, self-growth, self-generating, genetic and other properties of living things, as well as many of their intelligent characteristics, are not available, need to be learned and developed by many artificial products. In the struggle against nature, biology has grown a lot of its skills, and most of its mechanisms have not yet been recognized. Knowing these mechanisms and applying them to the manufacturing industry in an appropriate manner will undoubtedly greatly promote the development of the manufacturing industry and bring revolution to the manufacturing industry. This is the content of bionic machinery and bionic manufacturing.

On the other hand, the development of life sciences and biotechnology has also continually put forward new missions to the manufacturing industry. Life sciences and biotechnology require manufacturing to create functions that mimic human and biological functions, helping people and organisms to extend their lifespan, restore the function of certain organs, and manufacture to replace certain damaged organs and tissues (such as bones, skin, Devices and mechanisms such as muscles, nerves, limbs, nose, heart, etc. This also requires the integration of biotechnology and manufacturing technology, which is another important aspect of bio-manufacturing technology.

It should be said that the development of bio-manufacturing technology is only at the beginning and must be vigorously developed. It has been suggested that the International Society of Production Engineering should establish a professional committee for bio-manufacturing technology, and the paper on bio-manufacturing technology should be given a green light and given priority.
