Intelligent manufacturing builds a new competitive advantage

Manufacturing is the foundation of the country, the instrument of rejuvenating the country and the foundation of a strong country. Intelligent manufacturing is the main direction of China's construction as a manufacturing power, which is related to the quality level of China's manufacturing industry and its future position in the world. The development of intelligent manufacturing focuses on grasping the characteristics of the times, based on the essence of manufacturing, and closely following the trend of intelligence. At present, China is at the historical intersection of a new round of scientific and technological revolution, industrial transformation and accelerating high-quality development. Opportunities and challenges coexist. The manufacturing market demand has increased, but the supply adaptability is not high. The industrial chain supply chain is significantly optimized, but its stability is facing challenges. Green intelligence is formed, but the constraints of resources and environmental factors are tightening. Guided by the spirit of the Sixth Plenary Session of the 19th CPC Central Committee, the spirit of the Central Economic Work Conference, based on the new development stage, and implementing the new development concept, this paper puts forward and thinks about five goals and measures for the development of intelligent manufacturing in China under the new situation.

China pays more and more attention to intelligent manufacturing. In order to implement the strategy of manufacturing a strong country and firmly grasp the main direction of intelligent manufacturing, in recent years, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, together with relevant departments, has successively issued Intelligent Manufacturing Development Plan (20 16-2020), Intelligent Manufacturing Engineering Implementation Guide (20 16-2020) and National Intelligent Manufacturing Standard System Construction Guide (20) Combined with the current economic and industrial development needs, based on the essential needs of manufacturing industry, the specific objectives, four key tasks and six major actions are put forward, which provide clear guidance for local governments to formulate their own industrial plans, provide strong institutional support for the development of intelligent manufacturing, and constantly improve the top-level design of the country to promote intelligent manufacturing.

In recent years, the development of intelligent manufacturing in China has shown a good trend and the supply capacity has been continuously improved. The market satisfaction rate of intelligent manufacturing equipment exceeds 50%, and there are more than 40 system solution suppliers whose main business income exceeds 654.38+0 billion yuan. The popularization and application have achieved remarkable results. The production efficiency of pilot demonstration projects increased by 45% on average, the product development cycle was shortened by 35% on average, and the defective rate was reduced by 35% on average. New modes and formats such as discrete intelligent manufacturing, process intelligent manufacturing, network collaborative manufacturing, large-scale personalized customization and remote operation and maintenance services are constantly emerging. In addition, with the rapid development of related technologies of intelligent manufacturing, under the influence of factors such as consumption upgrading, rising factor costs and increasing environmental constraints, the demand of China enterprises for intelligent manufacturing is increasing day by day, and it has become the largest demand market of intelligent manufacturing in the world. Accelerating the transformation to intelligence has become the consensus of the industry.

At the same time, the key core technologies of intelligent manufacturing are short-board, intelligent manufacturing equipment and technology are heavily dependent on imports, the integration of intelligent manufacturing system is not high, the standard system of intelligent manufacturing still needs to be improved, and the lack of high-quality talents in the field of intelligent manufacturing still exists.

First, adhere to market dominance and build an intelligent manufacturing development ecology.

Give play to the guiding role of government departments. Strengthen organizational leadership, regard intelligent manufacturing as an important direction for the transformation, upgrading and high-quality development of China's manufacturing industry, improve top-level design and macro guidance, strengthen overall coordination, carry out research on forward-looking and strategic major issues of intelligent manufacturing, enhance cooperation between the central and local governments, encourage local governments to introduce supporting policies and laws and regulations, and guide the gathering of various social resources to form a systematic work pattern. Establish a guiding mechanism for project layout in key areas of intelligent manufacturing, take local industrial parks as the carrier, further promote the integration of industrialization and modernization, national defense and civil technology, innovate the two-way transformation mechanism of military and civilian scientific and technological achievements, encourage enterprises to accelerate the implementation of intelligent manufacturing in light of their own reality, and continue to do a good job in safety production and environmental protection.

Promote the coordinated development of industrial chain. Encourage industry organizations to carry out all kinds of intelligent manufacturing supply and demand docking activities, promote the docking of intelligent manufacturing equipment manufacturers, system integrators and overall solution service providers with demand enterprises, and promote the demonstration and application of independently controllable equipment, systems and software in the region on a regional basis. Encourage local organizations to carry out smart manufacturing promotion activities for small and medium-sized enterprises, and guide small and medium-sized enterprises to actively apply new smart manufacturing models to enhance their development competitiveness. Encourage and support qualified regions and industry associations to organize intelligent manufacturing experience exchange meetings, on-site promotion meetings and other activities to guide and drive local regions and industries to improve the level of intelligent manufacturing.
