At present, in terms of market size, over 70% of the electronic products in the global 3C industry are manufactured and assembled in China. The 3C industry is also the second largest in the Chinese market after the automotive industry. It is predicted that the scale of the 3C products industry is expected to reach 5.47 trillion yuan by 2022.

A thorough study of the development history of 3C industry production and manufacturing reveals the hardships of the 3C industry's transition from automation to informatization, including manual, semi-automatic, robotic, and the mutual cooperation between robots and line bodies. However, by researching 3C manufacturing products, it is found that the majority of products have relatively short life cycles, significant changes between processes, and large capital investment. Moreover, automated equipment is mainly applied in processes such as stamping, grinding, polishing, spraying and testing. Other processes like sorting, packaging and assembly currently have common problems such as a relatively low degree of automation.

The problems in other links stem from: Just like comparing the enterprise big data control system to a person's "brain", collaborative robots and the like to "arms", and the line body to "feet", the brain can exchange data with collaborative robots or production process equipment wirelessly or wired to obtain real-time information for processing. However, in terms of the operation of the line body, such as other links like sorting, packaging, and assembly, the current degree of automation is generally low. The brain's inability to obtain real-time product location data information affects production efficiency. How to capture the position information of the movers on the production line to achieve control and improve the production rhythm of the entire production line will be an important part of realizing intelligent manufacturing.

The 3C industry encompasses computers, communications, and consumer electronics. Traditional 3C products typically refer to computers, tablet computers, mobile phones, digital cameras, televisions, hardware devices for audio and video playback, or digital audio players, etc. Emerging 3C products include VR/AR, wearable devices, wristbands, smartwatches, drones, and other electronic devices.

Taking the production and manufacturing of smart phones as an example, the upstream and downstream production process links will not be elaborated. The entire production line also has the above-mentioned problems. At the same time, in response to the above problems, Guoli Technology has launched iTS intelligent flexible production lines. The entire series of production lines can be divided into: iTS intelligent flexible circular line, iTS intelligent flexible connection line, iTS intelligent flexible heavy-duty line, etc. The entire series of line bodies can make the carrier (strong magnetic mover) free from mechanical contact, achieving a product movement speed of 2.5m/s and absolute position control of ±0.01mm. The movement mode of the line body includes circular movement, vertical connection movement up and down, and horizontal connection circular movement. External data encoders are adopted for external data transmission, uploading the position data of each mover to the enterprise's big data control system, enabling it to obtain precise product position information and providing an efficient production scheduling plan for the entire production line to the enterprise's big data control system, thereby achieving intelligent manufacturing.

The continuous development of smart phones is inseparable from the continuous development and research of software and hardware equipment in the upstream and downstream of the 3C industry. Now, the 3C industry is at a turning point of informatization and intelligence. Only by seizing every opportunity of transformation can one not be abandoned by the market. Looking back at those "industry bigwigs" that have become history, you will be glad about this decision.
