For more than a century, the machinery manufacturing industry, which mainly focuses on metal cutting, has changed from "skyshaft" to driving multiple lathes to one machine tool driven by one or more motors. In the past 20 years, there has been a combination of "turning, drilling, planing, milling, grinding" and other metal cutting processes numerical control machine or machining center In addition to a variety of other advanced processing methods, advanced manufacturing or modern manufacturing is gradually formed. In the middle of the 20th century, since the emergence of integrated circuits, the development of computer and optical communication technology has led to the information technology revolution. Under this situation, the fully automated industrial revolution is taking shape, which is the third technological revolution and the third industrial revolution proposed by someone.
During the first and second industrial revolutions, production lines and semi-automatic production lines have emerged. However, since the combination of computers with machine tools or production lines, computer controlled fully automated Computer Integrated Manufacturing System (CIMS), modern advanced manufacturing technology and automation technology have been inseparable. NC/CNC equipment has digitized machine tools, can be combined with CAD and CAM, and can form a "feedback system", which can make production efficiency and Tool life 60% and 35% respectively; Other machines and production lines are generally controlled by PLC, robots and various electromechanical integration equipment, which can complete a variety of processes other than machining and cutting, as well as transmission, assembly, inspection, packaging and other work, CAD technology CAPP technology and CAM technology (computer-aided design/process planning/manufacturing) have gradually eliminated documents such as drawings and process procedures, and eliminated the way that drawings and process sheets are distributed to workshops and workers; CIMS technology gradually integrates production management, new product design finalization and manufacturing process, and can realize flexible manufacturing and agile manufacturing to improve the overall efficiency of enterprises. In this way, the organization and management of the factory will be greatly changed, and the production efficiency will be greatly improved, which is an example of the transformation of science and technology into productivity. This has also solved some people's doubts about "how information is transformed into material".
The implementation of CIMS project has driven the computer, network and a series of software and hardware industries. ERP and MES software used for management needs to be developed in combination with the requirements of various enterprises, thus forming an important branch of the information industry, occupying a large number of high-level compound talents, creating the demand for high-tech talents, thus driving the education industry accordingly and forming a change in employment structure. In addition, it has also absorbed the management talents from the original enterprises... This can ease the employment contradiction on the basis of vigorously developing the tertiary industry.
The importance of fully automated machinery manufacturing industry, on the one hand, can play a huge role in the production of automobile and other products related to the national economy and the people's livelihood and in the transformation of traditional industries; On the other hand, it has promoted the revolution of production tools, such as machine tools and other machine tools. For example, "the reason why we know the signs of the three industrial revolutions in modern times is that the key to the progress and development of productivity lies in the fundamental change of production tools or equipment. Only this change can make productivity and production structure develop by leaps and bounds". The statements of previous waves and the statement that energy reform is the symbol are based on the situation at that time. Now the knowledge economy is beginning to take shape, the information revolution has been fully launched, and information technology, modern management technology, automation technology, and modern advanced manufacturing technology are being organically combined, so the conclusion of the third technological revolution and the third industrial revolution has been formed, which is in line with the objective law of development.

The concept of automation is a dynamic development process. In the past, people's understanding of automation or the functional goal of automation was to replace human operation with mechanical action to automatically complete specific tasks. This is essentially the view that automation replaces human physical labor. Later, with the development of electronic and information technology, especially with the emergence and wide application of computers, the concept of automation has expanded to use machines (including computers) to not only replace human physical labor but also replace or assist mental labor to automatically complete specific jobs.
The broad connotation of automation at least includes the following points: in terms of form, manufacturing automation has three meanings: replacing human physical labor, replacing or assisting human mental labor, Manufacturing system Coordination, management, control and optimization of man-machine and the whole system. In terms of functions, the replacement of manual or mental labor by automation is only a part of the goal system of automation functions. The functional objectives of automation are multifaceted and have formed an organic system. In terms of scope, manufacturing automation involves not only specific production and manufacturing processes, but also product life cycle All processes.
