Smart manufacturing boosts industrial upgrading in China

Smart manufacturing has been widely applied in various industries to boost industrial transformation for more high-quality development in China.

A kitchen equipment manufacturing company applied smart manufacturing with the internet plus concept to develop a smart home control system in Shenyang, Northeast China's Liaoning province.

The system integrates cloud computing, internet of things and mobile internet technology to produce high-performance, high-quality and high-value-added smart home products.

Manufacturing companies are encouraged to change chips and production line equipment and replace human beings with robots to speed up industrial transformation and upgrading in Yantai, East China's Shandong province.

Smart manufacturing has also been used in auto parts manufacturing and spinning industries in Yuncheng, Shanxi province and Fuzhou, Fujian province.

A guideline on accelerating the establishment of a national unified market was jointly released on April 10 by the Communist Party of China Central Committee and the State Council, China's Cabinet.

The guideline calls for boosting scientific and technological innovation and industrial upgrading, promoting efficient domestic circulation, fostering a stable, fair, transparent and predictable business environment, lowering transaction costs as well as cultivating a key competitive edge in international competition and cooperation.
