In order to accelerate the digital transformation and intelligent upgrading of the manufacturing industry and create an “upgraded version” of intelligent manufacturing, six departments including the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Finance, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council, the State Administration for Market Regulation, and the National Data Administration have deployed a gradient cultivation action for smart factories.
According to the “Elements and Conditions for Gradient Cultivation of Smart Factories (2025 Edition)” (hereinafter referred to as the “Elements and Conditions”), smart factories will be cultivated at four levels: basic, advanced, excellent and leading.
Basic-level smart factories focus on digital transformation and network connection construction to promote the popularization of digitalization.
Advanced smart factories, based on their self-assessment as basic smart factories, will focus on digital transformation and networked collaboration to establish themselves as leading regional and industry-leading development benchmarks. Both basic and advanced smart factories must meet the requirements of the “Elements and Conditions.”
In accordance with the requirements of the “Elements and Conditions”, the construction of excellence-level smart factories focuses on digital transformation, networked collaboration and intelligent upgrading to create a national leading development benchmark.
In accordance with the requirements of the “Elements and Conditions”, the pilot-level smart factory focuses on digital transformation, networked collaboration and intelligent transformation to carry out construction, explore future manufacturing models, and create a global leading development benchmark.
Recently, the Excellence Smart Factory has been announced. I will review the layout, application points and plan of this project with you. If you are interested, please add WeChat to communicate: laifushe20160425
