– Smart equipment manufacturing, selected as a key industry for <Made in China 2025>

– Continued expansion of China’s smart manufacturing market size, revitalization of investment/finance

In general, smart manufacturing refers to a human-machine collaborative manufacturing system jointly formed by smart machine equipment and experts. The core value of building an intelligent system for manufacturing companies is mainly to lower production costs, improve production efficiency, and rebuild production methods. has been suggested The five key projects are the establishment of the national manufacturing innovation center, the fostering of smart manufacturing, the strengthening of basic industrial capabilities, the innovation of advanced equipment, and the fostering of eco-friendly manufacturing industries. It is to enter the ranks of global manufacturing powerhouses such as Korea.

China's Smart Manufacturing Industry Development

In recent years, with China's national policy support and continuous promotion of digitalization, the industrial scale of China's smart manufacturing industry has maintained a stable growth. In particular, it is expected to break through CNY 2022 trillion (about 3 trillion KRW) in 570. It is expected that the smart equipment manufacturing sector will become the main sector of the smart manufacturing industry, and the market size will continue to expand as an industrial ecosystem centered on automated production lines, smart control systems, and industrial robots is established. In the future, as related technologies such as the Internet of Things, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence appear in the process of <Made in China 2025>, the Chinese equipment manufacturing industry will grow at a rapid pace. Currently, the five key areas of Chinese industrial enterprises are digital factories, in-depth discovery of equipment and user values, Internet of Things, business model reconstruction, and artificial intelligence. Among them, digital factories are being implemented at the fastest rate.

China's Smart Manufacturing Development Goals

In December 2021, eight ministries, including the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of China, announced the <'8th Five-Year Smart Manufacturing Development Plan (“十Four-Five” 智能制造发Exhibition规划)>. Most of the manufacturing enterprises larger than the size of the manufacturing enterprises are achieving digitalization/networking, and the key enterprises are achieving the goal of novice application of digitalization. Detailed goals were also presented.

In addition, in <Made in China 2025>, a total of three phases are proposed, the first phase is to establish itself as a manufacturing powerhouse in 3-1, and the second phase is to surpass Germany and Japan in 2016-2025 to reach the middle of the manufacturing powerhouse, and the third phase painted a picture of being at the forefront of 2-2026.

At the China Smart Manufacturing System Competition held in 2021 by Zhou Jie, an engineer of the Chinese Academy of Engineering (中国工程院院士), “Smart manufacturing is a historic opportunity for China’s manufacturing industry and is a key driving force of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. The subject of smart manufacturing is the company, and after analyzing the current situation of each company, the company should make a plan and promote the industry-university-research cooperative innovation (startup) in order to update it. ” he said. Also, looking at the <Smart Manufacturing and Sales Talent Demand Forecast Report(智能制造领域人才需求预测报告)>, it is estimated that the shortage of skilled manpower in smart manufacturing in China will reach 4 million by 2025. In the future, the possibility of attracting and utilizing overseas talent is also high, and a battle for global talent with Korean companies is expected.
