On June 6, the 2024 Schneider Electric Innovation Summit, which brings together innovative insights and forward-looking views, was held in Qingdao. At the machinery and equipment manufacturing industry branch of this summit, Shi Yong, chief expert of the Machinery Industry Information Research Institute and vice chairman of the Industry and Information Technology think Tank Alliance, pointed out that the digital wave is promoting the formation of a new value creation system in the manufacturing industry; At the same time, greening has become an important and active new driving force for economic growth. Digital, low-carbon “double transformation” will become an important means to forge manufacturing competitiveness.

At present, the rising tide of digitalization is accelerating the value chain reconstruction of the manufacturing industry. Shi Yong pointed out that the current wave of digitalization is driving the manufacturing industry from the traditional linear value chain to a three-dimensional value chain network, forming three new value creation systems based on chain master enterprises, platform enterprises and user ecology, so as to achieve flexible manufacturing, quality and efficiency improvement and value co-creation.

At the same time, the equipment manufacturing industry has become the main direction of the “double carbon” goal. Shi Yong said that the equipment manufacturing industry around new energy will become the focus of competition among industrial forces in various countries, and the promotion of equipment energy conservation, efficiency improvement and electrification of terminal consumption has become the trend of The Times. In the long run, “green manufacturing” is bound to become a strong engine for economic development.

It is not difficult to see that the manufacturing industry to achieve high-quality development and cope with future global competition cannot be separated from the “double transformation” of digitalization and low-carbon. So, how should we effectively promote the “double transformation” of the manufacturing industry? Shi Yong introduced that the digitalization of the current manufacturing process needs to be strengthened, in the face of this challenge, it is appropriate to take the process and equipment as the core, based on the nature of manufacturing to promote digital transformation. Moreover, digital transformation needs to be continuously promoted, especially in the early stages of intelligent manufacturing, which is especially suitable for orderly promotion in a way that is first easy and then difficult, first simple and then complex, to achieve “small steps and fast running”. In addition, in today’s sustainable development has become a global trend, Shi Yong suggested that the green transformation policy support should be increased to provide a strong basis for China’s “green manufacturing” to sail overseas to compete for the global market.

330525-02 Today, more and more Chinese manufacturing forces, especially OEM manufacturers that provide various types of equipment and manufacturing tools for strategic industries such as electronic semiconductors, aerospace, new energy, and electric vehicles, are exploring a smarter, cleaner and more efficient innovation path. Shi Yong said that the “double transformation” of digitalization and low-carbon will provide a strong driving force for the majority of manufacturing enterprises, including OEM manufacturers, to achieve high-quality development, and become an important means for enterprises to forge competitiveness.
