Transforming, upgrading, and accelerating the manufacturing industry to gather strength and move towards the "new" direction

Since the beginning of this year, China's economic growth rate has been steady with progress, and the economic situation has rebounded and improved. The deepening of new industrialization has led to the emergence of a series of new products, new scenarios, and new technologies. The high-end, intelligent, and green development of the manufacturing industry is accelerating and upgrading, injecting strong impetus into high-quality development.

In recent years, China's industrial production has grown rapidly, and the equipment manufacturing industry has played a significant supporting role. The latest data from the National Bureau of Statistics shows that in the first half of the year, the added value of equipment manufacturing industry above designated size increased by 7.8% year-on-year, with a growth rate 1.8 percentage points higher than that of all industries above designated size. Among the major equipment industries, the electronics and automotive industries have grown rapidly, with growth rates of 13.3% and 9.8% respectively, contributing nearly 30% to the growth of all large-scale industries in the first half of the year and becoming important driving forces for industrial growth.

In Xiong'an, Hebei Province, the "5G+Beidou" positioning and navigation technology introduces high-altitude signals underground, reducing construction costs to half of traditional technologies; Jiangxi has successfully opened up the world's third blue LED technology route and established a scientific and technological innovation consortium for the luminescent material industry; In Yibin, Sichuan, new photovoltaic industry clusters worth billions of yuan have emerged, accelerating the optimization and transformation of the industry.

Innovative achievements continue to emerge, advanced technologies are widely applied, effectively driving the development of industrial automation, improving the production efficiency of the industrial system, and promoting the transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing industry. According to data from the National Bureau of Statistics, in the first half of the year, the added value of high-tech manufacturing industries above designated size increased by 8.7% year-on-year, with a growth rate 2.7 percentage points higher than that of all industries above designated size, and 1.2 percentage points faster than the first quarter. Among them, the electronic and communication equipment manufacturing industry, as well as the aerospace and equipment manufacturing industry, have performed well, with output maintaining double-digit growth; The driving effect of digital product manufacturing industries such as communication terminal equipment manufacturing, integrated circuit manufacturing, and display device manufacturing is significant, all achieving double-digit growth. The pace of high-end development in the manufacturing industry is accelerating, and the results are remarkable.

The high-end, intelligent, and green manufacturing industry is being solidly promoted, bringing fresh blood to the industry's transformation towards the "new" and "green" new energy industry. Data shows that in the first half of the year, the new energy vehicle industry chain maintained rapid growth, with a year-on-year increase of 34.3% in new energy vehicle production. The production of supporting products such as charging piles and lithium-ion power batteries for automobiles increased by 25.4% and 16.5% respectively, providing momentum and empowerment for high-quality economic development.

With the deep integration of new generation information technology and traditional manufacturing, the digitalization and intelligence level of China's manufacturing industry continues to improve, new technologies continue to emerge, and new industries and products continue to emerge.

Hubei is vigorously implementing the "technological transformation and energy enhancement, manufacturing revitalization" action and the digital economy leap project, promoting the landing and application of new technologies such as big data and cloud computing in factories, accelerating the construction of new information infrastructure such as 5G, implementing iterative transformation characterized by advanced production lines, and improving the intelligence level of production equipment and production processes; Relying on a solid manufacturing foundation, Guangdong has implemented the "Collaborative Plan for Equipment Renewal and Industrial Upgrading" to facilitate communication between equipment supply and demand, and promote close cooperation between upstream and downstream enterprises in the industrial chain; In Gansu, the industrial Internet logo enables petrochemical, metallurgical, equipment manufacturing and other industrial fields, making traditional industries glow.

Industry experts introduce that digital technology and the real economy are accelerating their deep integration, and new generation information technologies such as artificial intelligence and big data will have a comprehensive impact on traditional manufacturing. New intelligent manufacturing technologies will greatly improve manufacturing production efficiency, reduce costs and increase efficiency for enterprises, and enhance the development momentum and core competitiveness of the manufacturing industry.

The manufacturing industry is the foundation of a modern industrial system. We need to further accelerate digital transformation, promote advanced and applicable technologies, and focus on improving the level of high-end, intelligent, and green industries. Industry insiders say that we need to promote the aggregation of various innovative factors, make good use of big data, cloud platforms, artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things and other technological applications, build a solid foundation for new industrial technology, and promote the high-quality development of the manufacturing industry to a new level.
