Manufacturing Digital Transformation Trends

Manufacturing Digital Transformation Trends

As a leading industry in China's economic restructuring, manufacturing plays a decisive role. In May 2015, China introduced the "Made in China 2025" plan. It promotes the transformation of China from being just a manufacturing country to being a manufacturing power. At the same time, the rise of cloud computing, big data, Internet of Things (IoT), and artificial intelligence (AI) are driving a digital and intelligent transformation of manufacturing. With the implementation of "Made in China 2025" and the in-depth integration of IT and manufacturing, profound changes will take place in the production method, enterprise organization, product mode, and service mode of the manufacturing industry.


Intelligent Production: Enable intelligent decision-making and dynamic optimization of the production line, workshop, and even the whole factory, all from a single machine. It significantly improves the production efficiency of the whole process, improves quality, and reduces costs.


Network-based Collaboration: Use crowdsourcing, collaborative design, and vertical e-commerce to significantly reduce the cost of new product development and manufacturing, and shorten the time to market (TTM) for new products.


Personalized Customization: Get insights into customer needs from the Internet and realize large-scale customization at low cost using flexible organizational designs, manufacturing resources, and production processes.


Service-based Transformation: Provide remote maintenance, fault prediction, and performance optimization using real-time monitoring of product operations to promote enterprise service-based transformation.

    Business Challenges

    • Industrial Structure Upgrade

      At present, the need to cut excessive industrial capacity and adjust the industry structure has become a major issue in China. In addition, challenges such as short lead times, as well as the need for low energy consumption and high resource utilization are driving the digital and intelligent transformation of enterprises.
