Among a series of indicators of the operation of the industrial economy, one set of data stands out:

In April, the added value of the equipment manufacturing industry increased by 13.2% year on year, and the profit increased by 29.8% year on year, driving the profit growth of industries above designated size by 6.4 percentage points, becoming the industry segment with the largest driving role. Equipment manufacturing industry is a pillar industry of industry, is a high-tech gathering field. Its strong recovery supports the stabilization of the industrial market and reflects the pace of transformation and upgrading.

It’s not just equipment manufacturing. Since the beginning of this year, the overall performance of the advanced manufacturing industry has been steady, which also confirms the concentration of new momentum.

In April, the output of new energy vehicles and solar cell products increased by 85.4% and 69.1% respectively, and green and low-carbon products grew rapidly. From January to April, investment in high-tech manufacturing increased by 15.3%, and investment in electronic and communication equipment manufacturing, medical equipment and instrumentation manufacturing increased by 19.9% and 19.4%, respectively.

Advanced manufacturing is an important driving force of the industrial economy, although it does not occupy the most important share in the entire industry, but it involves many fields and industrial chain links, and its improvement demonstrates the internal power, extends the growth space, and brings obvious superposition and demonstration effect.

Extend the vision to the local, Guangdong last year advanced manufacturing added value accounted for 55% of the industrial proportion, Jiangsu has 10 national advanced manufacturing clusters… The advanced manufacturing industry will play a driving role in stabilizing the basic plate of the major industrial provinces and stimulating new impetus.

With advanced manufacturing as the traction, the industry to high-end, intelligent, digital transformation.

On the production line, robots, robotic arms and other automation equipment run at high speed, AGV unmanned vehicles are busy shuttling, and a new car comes off the line from here every 53 seconds… Visit GAC Ean assembly workshop, the experience of intelligent manufacturing is impressive.

Through the ultra-flexible technology cluster, the factory can realize the rapid conversion of model production, and with the help of intelligent technology, users can easily customize the car. Zheng Chunqi, deputy general manager of GAC Aean, told reporters that with the deepening of supply and demand interaction, enterprise efficiency is improved and market share is bigger. In April, GAC Aean sold more than 40,000 vehicles, ranking second in the domestic new energy vehicle sales list.

At present, the scale of the core industry of the industrial Internet exceeds 1.2 trillion yuan. In the January-April period, revenue from information technology services rose 13.4 percent from a year earlier. The penetration of digital technology into the physical industry is accelerating. In the first quarter of this year, central enterprises completed investment in strategic emerging industries of more than 230 billion yuan, an increase of more than 30%, accounting for about a quarter of the total investment.

Supply chain enterprises are driven by advantageous industries, and the competitiveness of the industrial chain is further consolidated and improved.

Neusoft Ruitsch and global auto parts supplier ZF Group reached a strategic cooperation to jointly realize the comprehensive development of software; Nezha signed a cooperation agreement with Horizon to build a higher level of intelligent driving assistance system… At the previous Shanghai Auto Show, a large number of local technology companies signed strategic cooperation agreements with their own brands and internationally renowned suppliers. Around the advantageous industry of new energy vehicles, a number of powerful supply chain enterprises have been cultivated in China.

Data from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology show that in March, the revenue profit margin of “small giant” enterprises and specialized new smes was 9.6% and 7.0%, respectively, showing strong resilience. The first batch of 100 characteristic industrial clusters of smes has settled more than 28,000 smes, forming a high level of supporting capabilities in key links of the industrial chain supply chain such as high-performance materials, smart chips, and precision devices.

“When we look at advanced manufacturing, we look at the innovation ability of the industrial chain, the key link to make up the short board and forge the long board and the new engine of growth.” At present, the industrial economy is still under pressure, and more efforts should be made to care for and cultivate advanced manufacturing, consolidate the industrial foundation, and expand the space for development.” Qin Hailin said that it is necessary to further play the traction role of advanced manufacturing, make it the main focus of building a modern industrial system, and cultivate and strengthen new momentum.
