The beverage industry accelerates the transformation of kinetic energy, and automatic and intelligent manufacturing opens up a new development situation.
With the rapid rise of big data, cloud computing, the Internet of Things, 5G technology, artificial intelligence and the maturation of new technologies, more and more products have simple intelligent functions, and even food and beverage processing machinery products are given intelligent systems, and the industry is also Towards automated and intelligent production. With the integration of artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, and new big data technologies, especially driven by 5G, the food and beverage processing industry will also accelerate its leap towards intelligence. Overall jump.
In recent years, with the continuous improvement of residents' consumption level and the upgrading of consumption structure, the domestic beverage, dairy beverage, beer and other beverage industry markets have shown a good growth trend. The sales of the beverage industry increased from more than 499.7 billion yuan in 2016 to more than 578.5 billion yuan in 2019. It is expected that the sales of the beverage industry will reach 629.6 billion yuan in 2021. In 2020, domestic beer sales will be about 42.69 million kiloliters, and it is expected that the market size of the beer industry may reach 240 billion yuan by 2025.
With the continuous development of beverage and beer industries, coupled with the maturation of new generation technologies such as the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, and 5G technology, more new technologies and new equipment for intelligent manufacturing and information management are applied to the production process. middle. The new technology can realize more complex beverages, beer and other beverage formulations, improve the flavor and taste of beverage products, etc., to meet the diverse needs of consumers, while automatic and intelligent production equipment improves production efficiency and capacity, and strengthens product flavor and taste. Quality and safety control.
Want Want Milk, a national brand product full of childhood memories, must be familiar to everyone. It is said that at present Want Want Milk adopts advanced aseptic cold filling technology, automated management and other advanced systems, which can not only master product quality and production data at any time, but also advanced The automated production equipment, assembly line operations, raw material transportation, product production, and finished product storage of Want Want milk have all been automated and mechanized, greatly improving production capacity and product quality.
The Coca-Cola factory has introduced ABB robots, which are responsible for stacking bottled beverages neatly, which greatly improves the stability and safety of the stacking, and reduces manual intervention. The production line has higher manufacturing flexibility and production efficiency, and the efficiency of the production line is improved 30%-50%. Tsingtao Brewery also introduced a 50,000 high-speed bottling production line and adopted advanced filling technology, which not only improved the efficiency and effectiveness of beer filling, but also ensured the quality of beer production.
According to reports, Tsingtao Beer's high-speed bottling production line, namely the new double-end bottle washer, EP electronic valve filling machine, central heating energy-saving sterilizer, and full frequency conversion conveying system all adopt the new core intelligent technology. Not only that, the production line also integrates advanced domestic industry-leading modular labeling machines, high-level bottle unloading and palletizing machines, carton packaging machines, sorting palletizers, and advanced equipment such as bottle inspection, liquid level and weighing inspections. And integrated control to achieve intelligent production.
With the application development of big data, artificial intelligence, industrial Internet of Things, etc., the network and the physical processing machine system are closely linked, such as the networking of controllers, sensors, and actuators. AI can analyze the data uploaded by the sensors and conduct online monitoring in real time. Food and beverage production data can promote product flavor, taste, quality optimization, and even realize autonomous decision-making, flexibly produce diversified products, and quickly respond to more market changes. Through automation and intelligent production, the Industrial Internet of Things is closely linked to achieve a more coordinated and efficient production system and improve the capabilities of the factory control and management system. The combination of artificial intelligence and food and beverage production systems will be the general trend.
