The manufacturing industry has been upgraded to a higher level of development

330100-90-01 Industry insiders generally believe that, from the overall economic point of view, more and more “lighthouse factories” help to accelerate the transformation of “made in China” to “made in China”, which is an important starting point to promote the transformation of manufacturing industry and accelerate the high-quality development of manufacturing industry.

In fact, the “lighthouse factory” has become a new trend and weather vane, “illuminating” the road to future intelligent manufacturing. In the interview, the reporter learned that leading enterprises such as the United States, Sany Heavy industry and other industries with large scale, strong financial strength and positive digital transformation are making full use of their existing experience and are trying to build more “lighthouse factories”, and these enterprises also have the overall ability to provide digital solutions, which can empower small and medium-sized enterprises.

Not only enterprises, but also many places are aiming at the goal of “lighthouse factories”, competing to layout and accelerate the construction of a new ecology of intelligent manufacturing.

Shanghai strives to build itself into a world-class “smart city”. 330100-90-01 The “Shanghai Special Action Plan for Building 100+ Smart Factories (2020-2022)” proposes to implement the “10030” project, that is, to promote the construction of 100 smart factories in three years, create 10 benchmarking smart factories, cultivate 10 industry-leading intelligent manufacturing system integrators, and build 10 vertical industry industrial Internet platforms.

Creating an intelligent manufacturing group with “future factory” as the lead, digital workshop and smart factory as the main body is an important starting point for Zhejiang to promote intelligent manufacturing. Zhejiang has formulated the “future factory” construction guidelines and evaluation standards, by the end of 2021, a total of 423 smart factories (digital workshops), 61 “future factories”, enterprise production efficiency increased by 47.8%, energy efficiency increased by 16.3%, operating costs reduced by 20.4%.

The “Nanjing Manufacturing Digital Transformation Implementation Plan (2021-2023)” has deployed a new model and new benchmark cultivation project for intelligent manufacturing, encouraging leading enterprises in the industry to benchmark world-class manufacturing capabilities and build a global “lighthouse factory”.330100-90-01  This plan also clearly puts forward the goal of “by 2023, the digital, networked and intelligent level of the city’s manufacturing industry will be significantly improved, and the proportion of digital transformation of industrial enterprises will reach 70%”.

Li Xiaohua, a researcher at the Institute of Industrial Economics of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said that at present, the environment for the development of China’s manufacturing industry is undergoing significant changes.

First, due to the resurgence of 330100-90-01 anti-globalization and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the global industrial chain and value chain are facing restructuring, and the importance of enhancing the resilience and security of industrial chains has become more prominent.

Second, green low-carbon has become a global consensus, reducing energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions and finally achieving carbon neutrality, which has become the direction of efforts of all countries in the world. As a major energy consumption and emission industry, it is necessary to speed up low-carbon transformation.

Third, with the increase of income levels and the growth of a new generation of consumers, people’s requirements for product quality and added value have increased, and personalized and customized products highlighting personal value have become a new direction of consumption.

Digital technology is a typical enabling technology, digital transformation and intelligent development can help the manufacturing industry effectively respond to challenges such as changes in domestic resource endowments and changes in the external environment, help the manufacturing industry rebuild its competitive advantage, and upgrade to a higher level of development while maintaining steady growth, Li Xiaohua said.

China’s “14th Five-Year Plan” intelligent manufacturing Development Plan clearly 330100-90-01 proposes to build intelligent manufacturing demonstration factories, and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has also launched evaluation standards related to intelligent manufacturing and digital transformation. In February this year, four ministries, including the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the National Development and Reform Commission, announced the 2021 intelligent manufacturing demonstration factory unveiling unit and excellent scene list, 110 intelligent manufacturing demonstration factories and 241 intelligent manufacturing excellent scene list.

It is worth noting that in this list, in addition to leading manufacturing enterprises, there are many small and medium-sized enterprises. Sheng Zhaoxun said that it should be seen that entering the new stage of development, the development logic of the industrial economy is shifting from “scale expansion” to “specialization and special new”, a large number of small and medium-sized enterprises with “specialization, refinement, specialty and innovation” characteristics, based on unique skills, do good, do fine and strengthen the advantageous products, the global market share ranks the first phalanx, and march to the high-end of the industrial chain. It is also commendable in the construction of smart factories, and has the potential and conditions to be rated as “lighthouse factories”.

For the future of digital transformation of China’s manufacturing industry, Song Huasheng is full of confidence:

China has a sound industrial system, long industrial chain, rich industrial clusters, and broad digital application scenarios, which help achieve economies of scale and scope in digital transformation, and has a huge market and a large population, and has an “engineer dividend”.
