Development Practice and Breakthrough Path of China's Intelligent Manufacturing

Abstract

Intelligent manufacturing has become the inevitable development trend of modern manufacturing; it is the main direction of the China Manufacturing 2025 plan and the only way for China’s manufacturing industry to develop from large to strong. Studying the breakthrough paths of intelligent manufacturing is significant for promoting the high-quality development of China’s manufacturing industry and accelerating industrial transformation and upgrading. It is also an important measure to practice the “four orientations”. In this article, we study the development practice of intelligent manufacturing in China, and summarize its basic characteristics from the dimensions of strategic layout, pilot demonstration, industrial agglomeration, and determination of development stages. Meanwhile, we investigate the problems existing in the development process. Currently, some of the standards, policies, technologies, talents, finance, and taxation for intelligent manufacturing can no longer meet the development requirements of the new era. Targeted measures focusing on policy standards, core technologies, and supporting elements are required for promoting the high-quality development of intelligent manufacturing during the 14th Five-Year Plan period. Specifically, China should strengthen the top-level design to improve its policy and standards system, optimize strategic layout to achieve breakthroughs in core technologies, and improve the institutional guarantee and support of key elements.
