Manufacturing has once again become the commanding heights of global economic competition

The international industrial division of labor system is reshaping, and manufacturing has once again become the commanding height of global economic competition.

At the "China Development Summit Forum 2015" held on the 23rd, Su Bo, vice minister of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, pointed out that the developed countries are stepping up efforts to revitalize the manufacturing industry, and developing countries are actively accepting industrial transfer to develop the manufacturing industry and promote the process of industrialization. Countries have focused on manufacturing innovation as the core force driving the economic development and have gradually advanced the development of advanced manufacturing into a national strategy. Such as the United States advanced manufacturing industry strategy plan, the German Industry 4.0, the British manufacturing 2050, the new industrial France, Indian manufacturing strategy.

"In the face of the above new trends and new situations, it is more urgent for China to speed up industrial transformation and upgrading and promote industrial restructuring." Su Bo said.

"Internet +" becomes the new normal for industrial development

During this year's ** period, Premier Li Keqiang proposed in the "Government Work Report" to implement "Made in China 2025", insist on innovation-driven, intelligent transformation, strengthen the foundation, and green development, and accelerate the transition from manufacturing to a manufacturing power.

According to sources, the 10-year plan for “Made in China 2025” will be reported to the State Council. The plan is expected to be introduced in the first half of this year. Su Bo said that "Made in China 2025" was led by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, together with 23 ministries and commissions such as the National Development and Reform Commission, Ministry of Science and Technology, and the Ministry of Finance. It is China's grand blueprint for responding to a new round of scientific and technological innovation and industrial transformation and building a manufacturing powerhouse.

Earlier, Minister of Industry and Information Miao Wei pointed out that China's transition from a manufacturing power to a manufacturing powerhouse needs three or 10 years. "Made in China 2025" is the first decade's action program and a roadmap. schedule.

The transition from a manufacturing country to a powerful country has been inseparable from the Internet. Since the introduction of the “Internet+” concept, all walks of life, both emerging and traditional industries, have been actively exploring and integrating the Internet.

Su Bo believes that the new round of science and technology is bringing about a change in the way the global industry develops. From the view of industry form, the Internet and traditional industries accelerate integration, and “Internet+” has become the new normal for industrial development; from the point of view of innovative models, the carrier of innovation has changed from a single enterprise to a multi-subject innovation network that spans multiple fields; from a production perspective, a new generation of information Technology, especially the integration of Internet technology and manufacturing, continues to deepen, and smart manufacturing accelerates development. From the perspective of organizational form, the features of miniaturization, intelligence, and specialization are increasingly prominent.

Industrial transformation and upgrading contains market opportunities

Hitachi's chief executive, Zhong Xihong Ming, also stated that Japan is now promoting social innovation and is also pursuing the expansion and application of IT technology in more areas. The business philosophy must focus on shifting products and technology to focus on the market, and integrate human factors and high technology. He believes that for the current Chinese industry, the realization of collaborative production is the most important.

The Bosch Group's Board of Directors, Volkmar Dunner, believes that the introduction of IT technology in traditional manufacturing requires some new competitiveness, such as the competitiveness of software and the competitiveness of IT, so these two competitiveness are China. Need to improve. In addition, a spirit of industrial transformation and economic transformation is needed, and new things need to be tried in a spirit of collaboration.

For many multinational corporations that have long been operating in China, there are many market opportunities in China's industrial transformation and upgrading. In the transformation of industry patterns and business models, how do traditional industries seize opportunities? They face the same problems as Chinese companies.

Siemens AG's president and chief executive, Cathy said that China Industrial 4.0 is already happening. For Siemens, it is necessary to increase investment in training and education, such as vocational education, as well as the cultivation of some soft skills and the development of engineering capabilities. One of the major reforms is structural reform. Structural reform is to better adapt resources to the needs of modern industries and meet the needs of Industry 4.0 strategy. Siemens’ operation in China cannot be short-sighted either.
