What is electronization and informatization?

Informatization refers to the historical process of cultivating and developing new productive forces represented by computer-based intelligent tools and making them benefit the society. (Intelligent tools are also called information production tools. It must generally have the functions of information acquisition, information transmission, information processing, information regeneration and information utilization. The productivity of adapting to intelligent tools is called information productivity. Different from the production tools in the past productivity, intelligent production tools are not an isolated and scattered thing, but a large-scale, top-down and organized information network system. This kind of network production tool will change people's production mode, working mode, learning mode, communication mode, life style and thinking mode, and will bring extremely profound changes to human society.

Informatization productivity is the most advanced productivity of mankind so far, which needs advanced production relations and superstructure to adapt to it, and all production relations and superstructure that are not suitable for productivity will change accordingly. The complete connotation of informatization includes the following four aspects: (1) information network system, including information resources, various information systems, public communication network platforms, etc. (2) Information industry foundation, including information science and technology research and development, information equipment manufacturing, information consulting services, etc. (3) Social operating environment, including modern industry and agriculture, management system, policies and laws, rules and regulations, culture and education, moral concepts and other production relations and superstructure. (4) The process of utility accumulation includes the continuous improvement of workers' quality, national modernization level, people's quality of life, and the continuous progress of spiritual civilization and material civilization construction. Combining information technology, automation technology, modern management technology and manufacturing technology, we can improve the management, product development and production of manufacturing enterprises, improve their production efficiency, product quality and innovation ability, and reduce consumption. Promote the innovation of product design methods and tools, enterprise management mode, manufacturing technology and cooperation between enterprises, realize the informationization of product design and manufacturing and enterprise management, the intelligence of production process control, the numerical control of manufacturing equipment and the networking of consulting services, and comprehensively enhance the competitiveness of manufacturing industry.
