Currently, the global manufacturing industry is accelerating towards the digital and intelligent era, and the impact of intelligent manufacturing on the competitiveness of the manufacturing industry is becoming increasingly significant. Intelligent manufacturing refers to the integration of new generation information and manufacturing technologies such as big data and the Internet of Things, which can autonomously and dynamically adapt to changes in the manufacturing environment, and achieve efficient, high-quality, green, networked, and personalized manufacturing systems or models throughout the entire lifecycle of products from design and manufacturing to recycling and reuse. Intelligent manufacturing, as an important direction for the development of the manufacturing industry, is a crucial support for China to cultivate new drivers of economic growth and build a strong manufacturing nation. In recent years, the categories and systems of China's intelligent manufacturing industry have gradually taken shape, with research and development funding and human resource investment increasing year by year. Some core technologies have achieved breakthroughs, and a number of intelligent manufacturing industries and high-tech enterprises with international competitiveness and influence have emerged. However, there is still a gap between China's intelligent manufacturing and developed countries, and it faces pressure from both high-end and low-end competition in international competition. Related industries and enterprises still have problems such as insufficient innovation enthusiasm, insufficient R&D investment, unreasonable structure, and weak sustainable development capabilities.
Throughout the history of world economic development, every technological and industrial revolution has brought about improvements in production efficiency and changes in production methods, while also providing significant opportunities for developing countries to achieve leapfrog development. Whether we can seize the major opportunity of intelligent manufacturing is related to whether China can build a manufacturing powerhouse and achieve; Two Centenary Goals "; Goal of Struggle. We need to objectively recognize the shortcomings of China's manufacturing industry, adhere to promoting intelligent manufacturing as the main direction, strengthen the basic capabilities of the manufacturing industry, cultivate new driving forces for economic growth, and accelerate the historic leap of China's manufacturing industry from large to strong.
Fully understand the significance of intelligent manufacturing and reshape the development concept. At present, China's traditional manufacturing industry is generally in a transitional stage of transformation and upgrading. A considerable number of enterprises are in the middle and low-end stages of industrial division of labor, but many enterprises are still satisfied with low-cost competition and lack the motivation to use smart devices. Even some companies that have introduced smart devices are only at the initial application stage. We should fully recognize the disruptive significance of intelligent manufacturing for industrial development, establish the concept of integrating the value chain and business model with intelligent manufacturing, and use new technologies such as sensors, the Internet of Things, big data, and cloud computing to implement intelligent transformation of existing production technologies and production models, so as to install intelligent "; The brain “ Connected to the Internet; Cloud”, Promote production methods; Intelligent Manufacturing Reshaping industrial forms, creating high-end industries, and transforming business models, reshaping the manufacturing industry chain, supply chain, and value chain, accelerating the cultivation and formation of new intelligent manufacturing models, and promoting the industry to move towards the mid to high end level.
Deepen supply side structural reform and reconstruct competitive advantages. Strengthen innovation drive, promote collaborative innovation among industry, academia, research, and application, accelerate the development of intelligent manufacturing standard system, develop and promote the application of intelligent manufacturing operating systems, research and develop key technological equipment such as industrial robots, additive manufacturing equipment, intelligent sensing and control equipment with independent intellectual property rights, and comprehensively enhance the industrialization level of intelligent manufacturing. Encourage innovation in production and business models, with consumers at the center, and establish; Customization of Requirements+Big Data Marketing+Participation in Manufacturing; The '; Product+Service; New production and business models. Supporting enterprises to establish a platform ecosystem, creating new opportunities for value appreciation through service ecology, systematization, and product intelligence. Cultivate independent brands and backbone enterprises, concentrate resources on cultivating a group of enterprises with strong independent innovation capabilities, outstanding main businesses, good product market prospects, and significant driving effects on the industry. Encourage enterprises to utilize global innovation resources, expand global markets, and build a strong intelligent manufacturing ecosystem. Improve the internal value chain management of enterprises, enhance their intelligent management capabilities, and establish an efficient intelligent operation system.
Establish a sound multi-level human resources development system and strengthen talent support. Improve the layout of disciplines, strengthen talent cultivation, and promote the development of intelligent education. Vigorously develop vocational education, continuing education, and vocational skills training, improve training mechanisms, innovate training models, and cultivate applied talents with craftsmanship spirit. Pay attention to protecting and promoting the entrepreneurial spirit, establish a scientific mechanism for guiding interests and sharing risks, create a social atmosphere that treats setbacks well and tolerates failures, and vigorously stimulate the enthusiasm and creativity of entrepreneurs to engage in intelligent manufacturing.
