On August 29th, the annual ABB Baikalai Machine Intelligence and Innovation Forum (MIIF) was held in the beautiful coastal city of Qingdao. This year, MIIF focused on “precision automation to promote high-quality development”, gathered industry users, and jointly explored the innovation path of equipment manufacturing industry in engineering technology, services, and enterprise operations.
The Core and Connotation of Precision Automation
In the opening speech, Dr. Xiao Weirong, President of Baccarat Greater China, stated that the gathering of Baccarat MIIF two years later has brought about significant changes in the domestic and international situation. As China’s economy enters a stage of high-quality development, today’s manufacturing in China is also undergoing tremendous changes, with production methods moving towards high-end and personalized; The production mode has higher added value; Simultaneously moving towards sustainable development.
To this end, Baccarat focuses on precision automation, returning Chinese manufacturing to its essence and becoming more competitive. Baikalai Precision Automation uses digital technology to make machines smarter. Through multiple means such as data collection, communication connectivity, mechanism modeling, learning models, judgment and decision-making, and on-site execution, it is supplemented by service innovation and ecosystem innovation, and reaches a consensus on technological innovation with more industry partners, unifying understanding and cognition of manufacturing innovation.

Franz Enhuber, Dean of the Baccarat School of Automation, delivered a keynote speech titled “Precision Automation, Promoting High Quality Development of the Manufacturing Industry”. He stated that digitization encompasses the transformation of manufacturing and automation at all levels, achieving precise and automated production, including microsecond level time precision, repetitive positioning and process control, predictive maintenance mechanisms, etc;
At the same time, in Industry 4.0, open-loop control will shift to closed-loop control and require the establishment of a data link from sensors/actuators to the cloud. The Industrial Internet of Things and digital factories also have higher demands for expanding computing power and storage. In the process of rapidly advancing the manufacturing industry to Industry 4.0, digitization has become an inevitable trend, and we must become a member of it.
