Currently, there is a huge competition in the global industry, which can only be won by offering a product that is better, more reliable, safer and cheaper than a competitor's product. All these qualities of the goods directly depend on the use of new industrial technologies. Industrial technologies are a set of methods for processing or processing materials, manufacturing products, carrying out various manufacturing operations.
Industrial technologies are divided into: mining technologies; enrichment technologies; processing technologies; processing technologies; technologies designed for the processing of material resources for a specific product.
Any industrial technology exists within the production process. The production process is a combination of actions, as a result of which the raw materials, materials, semi-finished products are converted into finished products that correspond to their purpose.
Specialists in various industrial technologies are trained by various higher education institutions, such as technical schools of industrial technology, the college of industrial technology and management, and many others. In addition, there are many organizations that offer their services based on the application of various industrial technologies. For example, Industrial Technologies LLC offers optimal schemes for the purchase and processing of plastic production waste.
Information technology is an integral part of industrial technology. Information technology is a set of methods and procedures by which the functions of collection, transmission, processing, enrichment and delivery of information about the state of an object, process or phenomenon to the user are realized using a selected set of technical means.
The fundamental difference between information technology and industrial technology is that it contains elements of a creative nature that defy regulation and formalization. The goal of any information technology is the production of information for the next analysis and making a primary decision based on it. Industrial information technology is based on distribution computer technology, software, and advanced communications. The concept of "industrial information technology" has a double interpretation: from a practical point of view, it is a set of automated processes of circulation and processing of information, descriptions of these processes associated with a specific subject area and implemented using modern technical and economic means that perform a given list of functions;
It is worth noting that today no sphere of human activity is complete without modern industrial technologies. New industrial technologies are actively used both in the production of vehicles and in the manufacture of medicines. Thus, the main tasks of industrial drug technology are: development of theoretical foundations of existing methods of manufacturing dosage forms; improvement of old methods of manufacturing dosage forms and the creation of new ones based on the use of modern achievements of related sciences; creation of such dosage forms in which the therapeutic effect is maximally manifested, the side effect is minimal and which are convenient for use by patients.
It should be said that transport plays one of the important roles in industrial production. Industrial transport serves the needs of its enterprise. It carries out transportation within the shops and between them, provides communication between the shops and warehouses, as well as communication with the main transport when exporting and importing raw materials and products. The structure of industrial transport includes all types of transport that make up the transport system, as well as specific types of transport, but the main ones are railway, automobile and pipeline transport. Specific modes of transport play a special role. These are, first of all, continuous transport - pipelines, conveyors, aerial cableways and monorails, pneumatic and hydrotransportations.
In industrial production, another important role is played by the environmental component. Modern industrial technologies cover almost the entire range of tasks of this and related industries. The following directions of industrial production technologies development at different stages are distinguished: rapid design technologies, equipment conversion technologies, environmental protection technologies of production, water treatment technologies, energy saving technologies, production control automation technologies, waste-free production technologies, automation technologies for conveyor processes, production control technologies, technologies for utilization and recycling of industrial waste.
This is not a complete list of possible directions of development - at almost any stage, any industry has its own specific technological processes that require constant improvement, development, modernization. The presence of an original idea in the technological cycle in industry leads to changes in production for the better in several directions at once: reducing the cost of production, reducing production time, improving the environmental component, improving product quality, fundamental change in product characteristics.
And as a result - an increase in income. Thus, the development of modern technologies in industry is one of the most important components of success in creating an industrial product.
The scheme of new technologies and their modifications.
The innovation process is understood as a sequential chain of events during which innovation matures from research and development of a new technical idea to the practical implementation of the innovation created on its basis. Therefore, a holistic innovation management system is needed. The innovation process consists of several stages.
1) Basic research. Fundamental research, collection and systematization of information on the relevant issue of needs and development trends. The purpose of this stage is to realize the need and the possibility of changes, cognition of the phenomena of the surrounding world and the discovery of new patterns of its development, generation of promising ideas, their selection and development, determination of the possibility of implementation.
It is divided into theoretical and exploratory; as a result of the first, new scientific approaches to the problem and theory are formed; as a result of the second - new principles of creating products and technologies.
2) Applied research. Applied research aimed at identifying ways to apply the results of the previous stage and their refinement. They can be theoretical and experimental, related to the creation of models. It is here that laboratory technologies and test methods are developed, as well as production and testing of models and samples of new products and non-standard equipment. Then special calculations are made to evaluate and then adjust the research, the second screening of unpromising ideas. The end result of this stage is the terms of reference, recommendation, sample.
3) Research and development. Research and development projects are aimed at creating new samples that have been tested and are suitable for industrial and commercial use. Their stages are: development by the customer of a technical assignment defining the basic requirements for the product - operating principles, design features, dimensions, weight, efficiency, price; formulation of proposals containing a technical and feasibility study of the feasibility of creating a product; production of a draft design containing general drawings, schematic diagrams, calculation of the main performance indicators, which allows solving questions about the expediency of further work on the product; preparation on the basis of a draft design of a general view of the structure as a whole and all units, the most complex parts, an explanatory note with a feasibility study, calculation of operating costs; creation of a working project containing a complete description of the structure of the facility and including all the documentation required for its manufacture, installation and operation; production, testing, development of a prototype.
4) Mastering the production of a new product.
This stage involves assessing market prospects, financial opportunities, compliance with standards, patent protection, another screening out of unpromising options, the development and design of technological and organizational processes, preparation of production facilities, a sales network, and finally, mastering the release of new technology, its mass production and sales, assistance in installation, commissioning, dissemination of innovation, replication and multiple repetition at other sites. Along with production, the innovation process includes consumption. Thus, the innovation process covers the cycle from the development of an idea to its implementation on a commercial basis.
5) The concept, types and results of innovation. The basis of the innovation process is innovation activity related to the transformation of ideas, research and development results into a new or improved product introduced to the market or production. It involves the implementation of a whole range of scientific, technological, organizational, financial, commercial measures aimed at creating and introducing innovations.
The following types of innovation activities are distinguished: preparation and implementation of production, its development, marketing and advertising of new products, acquisition of tangible and intangible technologies, patents, licenses, trademarks, know-how; industrial design.
The result of innovation at the stages of fundamental, exploratory, applied research and development is an intellectual product that becomes an object of intellectual property and a product.
At the stage of fundamental research, these are scientific knowledge, theories and discoveries; at the stage of applied research - research results; at the stages of design, engineering, technological work - scientific and technical projects in the field of creating science-intensive, engineering systems with personnel support; prototypes and installation batches of new equipment and new materials, manufactured according to the results of R&D.
The result of innovative activity can also be considered: small-scale and low-tonnage products manufactured on the experimental basis of universities and research institutes; software products; research and production services using unique equipment; services in the field of informatics, information, metrological, patent and licensing support for research and development and production; consulting services; good knowledge and effective use of market opportunities.
