New technology and new strategy to climb the heights
Today, with innovation increasingly becoming the lifeblood of enterprise development, digitalization and intelligence make Shanghai manufacturing glow with new color and constantly climb the “wisdom peak” of high-quality development.
Located in Songjiang economic development District of Shanghai, Shanghai Noyak Electric Co., Ltd. high-end electrical intelligent factory, from the material “onto” the production line to the product “into” the finished product warehouse, a low-voltage electrical products intelligent unmanned production. Gu Wenlei, deputy secretary of the Party Working Committee of Songjiang Economic Development Zone, said that the economic development zone is actively carrying out the construction of industrial Internet infrastructure, 5G network distribution, etc., around the projects such as the CEP Information Port and Tencent Cloud, and started to create a digital innovation industrial park, driving upstream and downstream enterprises in the industrial chain to “number”.
As the first city in the country to establish a statistical system for robot density, the density of robots used by industrial enterprises in Shanghai has reached 260 units/million people, which is in the world’s leading level. According to the plan, by 2025, the use density of industrial robots in Shanghai will strive to reach 360 units/million people, while building 20 benchmark smart factories, 200 demonstration smart factories, and adding no less than 20,000 industrial robots.
Polishing the “Made in Shanghai” brand is inseparable from the two-wheel drive of scientific and technological innovation and institutional innovation. The “Shanghai Three-year Action Plan to Promote high-quality Development of Manufacturing Industry (2023-2025)” released this year not only proposes that by 2025, the industrial added value will exceed 1.3 trillion yuan, accounting for more than 25% of the regional gross domestic product, industrial investment will grow at an average annual rate of 5%, and the functional position of the manufacturing industry to support the city’s economic development will be significantly enhanced. Draw a “bottom line” for industrial development, but also for the development of industrial clusters: formulate a new round of three leading industrial development plans, build a world-class industrial cluster, including accelerating the research and development of key links of integrated circuits, layout of biomedical gene and cell therapy, synthetic biology and other frontier fields, aiming at the forefront of artificial intelligence technology, build a general large model; We have proposed consolidating and upgrading key advantageous industries, including building four trillion-level industrial clusters for electronic information, life and health, automobiles, and high-end equipment; two 500-billion-level industrial clusters for advanced materials and fashion consumer goods; and fostering a number of hundred-billion-level industries in sub-sectors such as civil aviation, high-end shipping, and high-end medical devices. Actively create national advanced manufacturing industry and strategic emerging industry clusters.
From continuously consolidating strategic emerging industries to seizing new tracks and planning future industries, Shanghai is striving to create a strong growth pole of high-end manufacturing and accelerate the development of high-quality manufacturing from “construction drawings” to “real pictures”.
