Recently, the "People's Daily" published a live commentary article "Promoting Industrial Upgrading with Intelligent Manufacturing" for the "14th Five-Year Plan".Sany Group No. 18 plantAs a typical example, it vividly expounds that China's construction machinery enterprises grasp the opportunities of digital, networked and intelligent development, build an intelligent manufacturing system, promote key core technology research, make up for industrial shortcomings, promote the transformation and upgrading of the construction machinery industry, and form a new competitive advantage.
The following is the content of the report:
Walking into the No. 18 plant of Sany Group located in Changsha Economic Development Zone, Hunan Province, such a scene is impressive: under the guidance of the intelligent system, more than 100 robots and more than 70 automatic guided vehicles work together to complete automatic operations such as cutting, sorting, palletizing, forming, welding, and machining. A person in charge said that intelligent production has effectively improved the processing accuracy, made product quality more stable and production more efficient.

General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized: "We must conform to the development trend of the fourth industrial revolution and jointly grasp the opportunities of digital, networked and intelligent development." China is the world's largest manufacturer of construction machinery, and construction machinery is one of the most internationally competitive industries in China's equipment manufacturing industry. Only by grasping the opportunities of digital, networked and intelligent development, building an intelligent manufacturing system, promoting key core technologies, and making up for industrial shortcomings can we promote the transformation and upgrading of the construction machinery industry and form a new competitive advantage.
To build an intelligent manufacturing system, focus on "cultivating internal strength", carry out research in key areas, and improve production capacity. In the past, some enterprises attached importance to R&D products and commercial marketing, and despised the phenomenon of manufacturing, resulting in a weak link in industrial development, which should be strengthened as soon as possible.
At the turntable welding work island in Plant 18, the handling robot and the welding robot can work automatically without assistance. This link is technically difficult and demanding, and once fell into a bottleneck in research and development. To this end, relevant enterprises focused on tackling key problems, repeatedly testing, and improved technical solutions more than 10 times, and finally overcame difficulties and successfully reached production. Practice has proved that improving the level of manufacturing will help reduce costs and increase efficiency, and truly transform product production into product value.

In addition to the company's own factors, the advantages of industrial agglomeration cannot be ignored. Taking Changsha Economic Development Zone as an example, there are Sany Group, Railway Construction Heavy Industry, Sunward Intelligence and other enterprises, the park takes intelligent manufacturing as the main line, thanks to the advantages of agglomeration, many enterprises have walked out of a development path from intelligent products to intelligent factories and then to intelligent services, and then improve user experience and win market share with intelligent products.
To build an intelligent manufacturing system, it is necessary to build a good industrial development environment and an industrial ecology of collaborative innovation. In recent years, Changsha has accelerated the construction of a good industrial development environment and actively cultivated a collaborative innovation and dynamic construction machinery industry ecology.
On the one hand, the Changsha International Construction Machinery Exhibition will be held as an opportunity to strengthen the exchanges between enterprises at home and abroad and help Chinese construction machinery enterprises strengthen the industrial chain. In 2021 alone, the number of domestic and foreign exhibitors will reach more than 1,450, and 32 of the world's top 50 construction machinery companies will participate in the exhibition. On the other hand, organize and mobilize all parties to carry out technical research in related fields, and qualified universities, scientific research institutions and enterprises will form a consortium to jointly unveil and cooperate in scientific and technological innovation projects.

General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized: "It is necessary to promote industrial technological change and optimization and upgrading with intelligent manufacturing as the main direction, promote the fundamental transformation of the manufacturing industry model and enterprise form, and drive the 'revolution' with 'Dingxin', drive the stock with increment, and promote China's industry to move towards the middle and high end of the global value chain." "Facing the "14th Five-Year Plan", we will continue to promote industrial upgrading with intelligent manufacturing, seize opportunities, actively transform, optimize structure, and strive to enhance industrial competitiveness, so that we will be able to accumulate new momentum for development and help high-quality economic development.
