(Fighting New Crown Pneumonia) Intelligence + Globalization Accelerates China's Manufacturing Industry
China News Service, Shanghai, February 25th: Intelligentization + globalization accelerate the resumption of production and production in China

Intelligent robots run flexibly between the warehouse and the production line, replacing traditional manual handling of materials; the transparent supply chain of the Industrial Internet enables collaborative management of upstream and downstream enterprises; remotely operated fully automated production lines ensure the supply of epidemic resources ...
Such a scene is being staged in the gradually restored Chinese manufacturing enterprises.
On the one hand, there are "three major problems" in the resumption of production in the manufacturing industry, such as insufficient staffing due to the epidemic situation, uneven pace of resumption in the industrial chain, and insufficient backlog of production capacity. On the one hand, the manufacturing industry, which is the pillar of the national economy and an important part of the global industrial chain, needs to be restored Here, accelerating the pace of intelligentization and global transformation has become a "solution" generally recognized by Chinese manufacturing.
"During the epidemic, we received consultations from hundreds of companies in the pharmaceutical, automotive, food, footwear, and e-commerce industries," said Sun Di, director of the market of Shanghai Kuicang Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd., a smart storage robot head enterprise. With the epidemic, we judge that many manufacturing companies will accelerate the pace of 'machine substitution' in the internal logistics sector. "
In fact, compared with the current resumed production rate of 97.08% of the top 500 manufacturing companies in China, the resumption of SMEs is not optimistic. A few days ago, the cross-province "grabbing" of chartered cars and chartered flights in various places in Zhejiang just reflected the extreme dependence of a large number of enterprises on front-line manpower from one aspect.
In this regard, Tang Yunyu, a researcher at the Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences, analyzed that Chinese small and medium-sized enterprises have problems of weak intelligent upgrade capabilities and serious low-end path dependence. "Industrial upgrading is associated with labor upgrading. Companies tend to gather a lot of low-end labor. "
"Because of the problems related to costs, access capabilities, etc., and until last year, a large number of small and medium-sized enterprises still held a wait-and-see attitude towards the Industrial Internet," said a person in charge of Intelligent Cloud Science and Technology Co., Ltd., who believes that the sudden outbreak exposed the existence of manufacturing enterprises. Many problems, insufficient staffing and poor supply chain constraints to resume production will force many companies to seek intelligent transformation.
"At present, some industrial parks are building digital 'shared machine tools' based on the Industrial Internet, equipped with skilled operators for local small and medium-sized enterprises to contract for production, which will become a new channel for small and medium-sized enterprises to enhance their manufacturing capabilities." People said.
During the epidemic, poor supply chains are a dilemma faced by most companies. Upstream and downstream companies are sharing epidemic prevention materials and resuming work plans to speed up resumption.
Industrial Internet platform operation company Intelligent Cloud Branch provides another intelligent solution. The factory's digital manufacturing operation system can not only realize the entire process management from planned production to production and storage, but also obtain the inventory and demand status of upstream and downstream enterprises in real time, realize the coordination of the entire industrial chain and coordinate supply, and increase supply chain management. Transparency and convenience.
"Modern industry competition is not competition of individual companies, but competition of the supply chain system." Zhang Huiming, a professor of economics at Fudan University, pointed out that after this epidemic, enterprises should realize that partners have risen and fallen together on the industrial chain, and need to deal with the crisis and Competition, rather than simply restructuring the supply and marketing structure.
The epidemic also prompted the manufacturing industry to think deeply about the layout of globalization.
"The epidemic has a longer-term strategic impact for us. The company needs to redefine the supply chain system. After the globalization of the order market demand, we must consider more to globalize the supply chain to meet the future. Possible uncontrollable factors. "Said Luo Xin, chairman of GCL Integrated Technology Co., Ltd.
According to Tang Yunzhang, further integration of Chinese manufacturing into the global supply chain will help drive the transformation and upgrading of Chinese manufacturing.
"The current level of China's value chain is constantly improving. It is a natural process for low-end labor-intensive industries to move to other parts of the world. However, from the perspective of the demand side of the industrial chain, China has a huge market and manufacturing is close to the market. Reflecting market response and demand directly in the supply chain will help it transition to customized high-end manufacturing. "Tang Yunzhang pointed out.
Zhang Bin, general manager of Shanghai Siled Stainless Steel Products Co., Ltd. believes that the warning to the Chinese manufacturing industry caused by the epidemic is to choose a point on the product or technology to the extreme, so that it can hardly be replaced in the global supply chain. Role; the second is to strengthen the soft power of enterprise emergency management.
Xerox, which exported its products to the world, achieved a return rate of 85% within two weeks. "Under the requirements of the international market, the company formulated and prepared a multi-level emergency response plan in accordance with international safety and health inspection standards," said Zhang Bin. " We are benefiting from globalization. "(End)
