This book belongs to the world of 5G series, and it focuses on the intelligent manufacturing. First, the history and development of the manufacturing, including the four world industrial revolutions, are presented in this book. Second, the characteristic, product performance, key technologies, and network requirements of intelligent manufacturing are introduced. The development trend of intelligent, flexible, service-oriented and high-end manufacturing industry is becoming more and more obvious. Third, the upgrade of 5G to intelligent manufacturing is analyzed, including the data, platform, network, application, and other levels. The intelligent manufacturing and 5G complement each other, and effectively promote the innovative upgrading of industrial field and information network field. Last, some typical applications of 5G+intelligent manufacturing are introduced in detail, including industrial AR / VR application, cloud industrial robot, full cycle customized production, intelligent resource allocation, upstream and downstream collaborative design, etc. 5G technology, like catalyst, has brought comprehensive upgrading to all aspects of intelligent manufacturing. The application of 5G+intelligent manufacturing is still in the stage of exploration and preliminary application, and it still needs a period of time to improve the technology and comprehensive promotion, and the application scenarios also need to be continuously explored.
