Deep interpretation! The current situation and development trend of intelligent manufacturing equipment industry during the 14th Five Year Plan period
In recent years, the intelligent manufacturing equipment industry has received high attention from the country, and a series of incentive policies have been introduced, with policy support for the rapid development of intelligent manufacturing equipment. In order to better understand the development of intelligent manufacturing equipment in China, we plan to analyze the background, current status, segmented industries, and development trends of intelligent manufacturing industry equipment development from four aspects.
Background of the development of intelligent manufacturing equipment industry
1.1 The Rise of Global Intelligent Manufacturing
China has become the world's factory, and manufacturing is the pillar industry of China. However, due to technological differences with developed countries, China can only engage in labor-intensive industries with low efficiency and low profits. So intelligent manufacturing equipment is the key to the transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing industry. Because the main characteristics of intelligent manufacturing equipment systems reflect the intelligence of manufacturing production, which means fundamentally improving production efficiency, China will also vigorously develop. In the future, the intelligent manufacturing equipment industry will also develop towards automation, and the construction of automated factories is the trend.
Intelligent manufacturing equipment is a collective term for manufacturing equipment with sensing, analysis, reasoning, decision-making, and control functions. It is the integration and integration of advanced manufacturing technology, information technology, and intelligent technology in equipment products, reflecting the development requirements of intelligence, digitization, and networking in the manufacturing industry. The level of intelligent manufacturing equipment has become an important indicator of a country's industrialization level today.
The main reason for promoting the rapid development of China's intelligent manufacturing industry is the significant difference between the national manufacturing industry and developed countries. Due to insufficient independent innovation, outdated industrial structure, and excessive energy consumption, China has lower labor costs and can only engage in low-end manufacturing, with lower efficiency and lower income. The high-end of the manufacturing value chain is controlled by developed countries and can generate high profits. Therefore, manufacturing powers build "green trade barriers" and "technological barriers" to clamp down on the production and sales of manufactured products in underdeveloped countries through strict market access and restrictions.
Especially in recent years, taking the United States as an example, in order to fully ensure and utilize its technological advantages, the United States has continuously increased investment in technological innovation and continuously developed new products. And the United States is currently working to revitalize its manufacturing industry. In the tax reform at the end of 2017, the United States lowered the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%, which increased the willingness of enterprises to transfer some production to the United States and posed a serious threat to China's manufacturing industry.
The manufacturing gap between China and developed countries is mainly reflected in the following three aspects. One is the lack of independent innovation. China's equipment manufacturing industry is significantly lacking in independent innovation, with a scarcity of fully independent intellectual property technology products, limited original technology and basic research, and a high dependence on imports for key technologies and core components. The second is that the industrial structure needs to be improved. This is reflected in the overcapacity of mid to low end industries, and the inability to effectively meet the guarantee capacity of high-end industries, especially in advanced equipment and core components, high-performance materials, and high-tech manufacturing processes, which has led to severe homogenization competition in the mid to low end market of China's equipment manufacturing industry. Thirdly, energy consumption is relatively high. Due to long-term extensive development and constraints in terms of environmental protection technology development, investment in environmental protection, and lack of corporate social responsibility system construction compared to manufacturing developed countries
