Manufacturing is the foundation of the real economy and also the lifeline of the national economy and people's livelihood. General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that "manufacturing is the foundation of our country's establishment and the basis of a strong nation." "We will deepen the implementation of major technological upgrades and large-scale equipment updates in the manufacturing industry, promote the high-end, intelligent, and green development of the manufacturing industry, and give new vitality to traditional industries. These important statements have pointed out the direction for promoting high-quality development of the manufacturing industry and accelerating the construction of a manufacturing powerhouse.
High end, intelligent, and green are essential requirements for the high-quality development of the manufacturing industry. High quality development is the primary task of building a socialist modern country in an all-round way, and high-quality manufacturing is a solid material and technological foundation to promote Chinese path to modernization. The high-end, intelligent, and green development of the manufacturing industry can effectively promote the transformation and upgrading of traditional manufacturing, and drive the industrial chain value chain to continuously climb towards the mid to high end. High endization is a segment representation of the manufacturing industry's level, reflecting the strength of the manufacturing industry and the competitive advantage of its products. Intelligence drives the manufacturing industry from "manufacturing" to "smart manufacturing" through digital technology, forming intelligent manufacturing production processes, automation of production processes, and intelligent scheduling. Greenization refers to the application of green technology innovation achievements in the manufacturing industry to form green manufacturing, linking green design, green materials, green processes, etc. to create a green industrial chain, promoting the green transformation of production and manufacturing methods, reducing energy consumption, saving resources, and leading the green development of the manufacturing industry.
High end, intelligent, and green are important focus areas for building a modern industrial system. The modern industrial system is an industrial system with advanced manufacturing as its backbone. Overall, China's manufacturing industry is large in scale, complete in categories, and has strong international competitiveness in some fields. However, it is large but not strong, has relatively low technological content, and is at the middle and low end of the global industrial value chain. Building a modern industrial system is a systematic engineering, and advanced manufacturing that is high-end, intelligent, and green is an important component. The new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation has brought about significant changes in production technology and optimization and reconstruction of production methods, promoting the deep integration of technological innovation and industrial innovation, providing an opportunity to accelerate the high-end, intelligent, and green development of the manufacturing industry, and further consolidating the foundation for building a modern industrial system.
High end, intelligent, and green are endogenous driving forces for enhancing the comprehensive competitiveness of the manufacturing industry. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out, "Accelerate the transformation of scientific and technological innovation achievements into real productive forces, and accelerate the construction of a new industrial system. The deep integration of technological industry innovation achievements represented by artificial intelligence into the manufacturing industry can greatly enhance the comprehensive competitiveness of the manufacturing industry, profoundly influence and change the global manufacturing competition pattern. Only by seizing the application of innovative technologies such as artificial intelligence general models, intelligent chips, machine vision, and predictive maintenance can we promote the manufacturing industry to move towards high-level intelligence and automation, optimize the combination and innovative configuration of production factors, comprehensively improve the level of automation and intelligence in the manufacturing industry, and drive China's manufacturing industry from large to strong, moving towards the middle and high end of the global value chain.
To promote the high-end, intelligent, and green development of the manufacturing industry, we must adhere to the core position of innovation in the development of the manufacturing industry, deeply implement the strategy of building a strong manufacturing country, promote the upgrading of the manufacturing industry foundation and modernization of the industrial chain, and comprehensively shape new advantages for high-quality development of the manufacturing industry.
Empower with new quality productivity and promote the high-end development of manufacturing industry. As a core element in developing new quality productivity, technological innovation can provide new impetus for the high-end transformation of manufacturing industry. Traditional industries in our country account for over 80% of the manufacturing industry, with a significant proportion in the mid to low end. To accelerate the transformation of old and new driving forces through new quality productivity, we should fully utilize digital and green technologies to transform and enhance traditional industries and develop advanced manufacturing, promoting the high-end development of manufacturing. Strengthen original and disruptive technological innovation in the manufacturing field, enhance the construction of industrial basic capabilities, and break through bottlenecks, weaknesses, and "bottlenecks" in key core technologies, basic components, and materials in the manufacturing industry. Implementing major technological transformation and upgrading projects in the manufacturing industry, large-scale equipment updates, intelligent manufacturing projects, etc., to provide new momentum for stimulating the vitality of traditional manufacturing and enhancing competitive advantages.
Accelerate digital transformation and upgrading, and promote the intelligent development of manufacturing industry. We should firmly seize the new opportunities of the new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation, accelerate the digital transformation of the manufacturing industry, and provide new momentum and engines for the intelligent development of the manufacturing industry. Focusing on intelligent manufacturing, we will launch the "Artificial Intelligence+Manufacturing" campaign and vigorously develop intelligent manufacturing products. Accelerate the innovative application of digital technology, further optimize the environment for intelligent transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing industry, build and improve the three functional systems of industrial Internet network, platform and security, and continue to improve the level of intelligent manufacturing. Further improve the national standards related to intelligent manufacturing, establish national manufacturing innovation centers in key areas, deepen the reconstruction of industrial foundations and major technological equipment research and development projects, continuously cultivate national level intelligent manufacturing demonstration factories, provincial-level digital workshops and intelligent factories, and build an ecological system for the development of intelligent manufacturing industry. Promote the improvement of the industrial technology innovation system, use technological innovation to promote industrial innovation, carry out the "one chain, one policy" digital collaborative transformation of key manufacturing industry chains, effectively and accurately promote the digital transformation of the manufacturing industry, and achieve the transformation from "manufacturing" to "intelligent manufacturing". Promote the coverage, penetration, and application of big data, artificial intelligence, and other technologies in the manufacturing industry, accelerate the development of the "industrial mother machine+high-end equipment" manufacturing industry, and accelerate the cultivation of specialized, refined, and innovative enterprises as well as manufacturing industry champions. We will implement intelligent manufacturing engineering, promote the application of intelligent manufacturing technology, accelerate fundamental changes in production methods and enterprise forms in the manufacturing industry, in order to adapt to the international trend of manufacturing development and enhance competitiveness and level, focusing on the upgrading of industrial foundations and modernization of industrial chains.
Continuously implementing green manufacturing projects and promoting the green development of the manufacturing industry. Green is the fundamental color and inherent requirement for the high-quality development of the manufacturing industry. Developing green manufacturing is an important direction for promoting the green and low-carbon transformation and upgrading of traditional manufacturing industries, as well as an important focus for cultivating manufacturing competitiveness. We should accelerate the innovation of green technology and the promotion and application of advanced green technologies, improve the green manufacturing system, and strengthen and expand the green manufacturing industry.
