Modern society is in the transformation from industrial society to information society transition history. Industry informatization has become an inevitable trend. But the industry automation equipment in our country information road seemed very long. Automation equipment industry is the key industry development in our country, the degree of information its present stage of development is not high, there are difficulties.

At present, China's automation equipment industry informatization level is not high, in recent years, although some enterprises and some progress, but still focus on computer aided design (CAD), computer aided manufacturing (CAM), computer aided process planning (CAPP), digital design software application. In the management level is relatively backward situation, the enterprise resource planning (ERP), supply chain management (SCM), customer relationship management (CRM) application system is still not mature.

At present, the full implementation of ERP enterprise is not a lot of. Although the implementation of financial management, inventory management is relatively mature, but the production plan management, cost management is still weak, especially the production management, job shop schedule management and cost management and financial management integration is not high. In addition, production assembly automation level of enterprise is low, most automation equipment assembly to manual assembly. To solve these problems needs the flexibility of manufacturing system is higher, this is undoubtedly the implementation of information system brings certain difficulty.

The world believes that the current China, promote the automation equipment industry has two main difficulties: one is the enterprise information with product data standard, namely bottom-up data must be accurate and detailed; the two is based on the production data standardization, internal and external production, sales, service and management network to realize the integration and information sharing. Here, automation equipment single tend to become "information islands", cannot be well used, resulting in the waste of capacity.

In addition, manufacturing enterprise sales and service networks often throughout the country, how all the resources and information integration to unify is the difficulty of enterprise development. Especially in the automation equipment industry products are complex, product data and standardization of the work flow of reliable can effectively avoid the huge economic loss due to human errors in the work. It is because of automation equipment industry has the characteristics of complicated process, various types of product demand, it is particularly urgent that the informatization construction in this field.
