It plays an important role in strengthening the foundation of the real economy, building a new development pattern and building a digital China. Standing at the historic intersection of the new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation and China's accelerated transformation of the mode of economic development, we should unswervingly take intelligent manufacturing as the main direction, promote industrial technological reform and optimization and upgrading, promote the fundamental transformation of the industrial model and enterprise form of the manufacturing industry, help carbon peak and carbon neutrality, and promote China's manufacturing industry to move towards the middle and high end of the global value chain.
This paper holds that there are many differences between intelligent manufacturing and traditional manufacturing, which is a comprehensive transformation and upgrading of all aspects of traditional manufacturing. In recent years, China has formed more than ten advanced manufacturing clusters. Among them, the development of industrial Internet, industrial robots, high-end CNC machine tools and semiconductor industries is closely related to the digital process, which is developing rapidly, but it also exposes a series of problems in the rapid development of intelligent manufacturing.
How to Promote the High Quality Development of Intelligent Manufacturing
1. Establish a more sound on-the-job education system, speed up the training of intelligent manufacturing talents, and form a way of employing and managing people to adapt to the characteristics of the Internet era, so as to ensure that talents can be "attracted, retained and used well".
2. Strengthen multi-departmental coordination and joint prevention and control, and formulate more detailed and differentiated policies according to specific conditions, further clarify the responsibility system of each link in each field, and form a complete intelligent manufacturing development promotion system.
3. Further deepen the reform of the scientific research system, strengthen the linkage between scientific research institutions and the intelligent manufacturing industry, and promote breakthroughs in technological bottlenecks in key areas by improving the independent innovation capabilities of the national system.
4. Strengthen the dominant position of enterprises in the market, stimulate the endogenous power of enterprises to promote intelligent manufacturing, further improve the competition and exit mechanism in related fields, and comprehensively lay out a market system conducive to the development of intelligent manufacturing industry.
The basic concept of intelligent manufacturing
Regarding the definition of smart manufacturing (Smart Manufacturing/Intelligent Manufacturing), there are some differences in the expression of different countries. This article adopts the definition of intelligent manufacturing by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of China: "Intelligent manufacturing is based on the deep integration of a new generation of information and communication technology and advanced manufacturing technology, and runs through all aspects of manufacturing activities such as design, production, management, and service. A new production method with functions such as self-perception, self-learning, self-decision-making, self-execution, and self-adaptation." The definition represents the Chinese government's authoritative perception of smart manufacturing.
When the Japanese industry proposed the intelligent manufacturing system in 1989, it first proposed the concept of "intelligent manufacturing"; in 1992, the United States implemented a new technology policy (Critical Technology) aimed at promoting the upgrading of traditional industries and cultivating new industries, which involved information technology and New manufacturing processes, intelligent manufacturing technologies, etc. Comprehensive literature, the United States and Japan is the forerunner of intelligent manufacturing. By 2013, Germany officially launched the "industrial 4.0" aimed at improving the competitiveness of German industry at Hannover Messe. As a national strategy, intelligent manufacturing has begun to attract the attention of countries all over the world. According to the relevant literature of German industrial 4.0, the core of its strategy is intelligent manufacturing technology and intelligent production mode. It aims to build a cyber-physical fusion system (CPS) by organically linking products, machines, resources and people through two types of networks: "Internet of Things" and "service (service) networking, realize the digitization of the entire product life cycle and the entire manufacturing process, as well as end-to-end integration based on information and communication technology, thus forming a highly flexible (flexible, reconfigurable), personalized, digital, and networked product and service production model. Combined with the definition of intelligent manufacturing by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of China, it can be seen that intelligent manufacturing is the core of industrial 4.0. Due to space limitations, this paper only focuses on the relevant content of intelligent manufacturing, and does not make a more comprehensive study of industrial 4.0.

As can be seen from Table 1, there is a clear difference between intelligent manufacturing and traditional manufacturing. These differences are mainly reflected in four aspects. First, manufacturing design is more prominent customer demand-oriented, in the technical means can be a combination of virtual and reality, can achieve real-time dynamic interaction between demand and design, design cycle is shorter. Second, the processing process is flexible and intelligent, the production organization is more personalized, the detection process is online and real-time, the human-computer interaction is networked, and the processing and molding methods are diversified. Third, manufacturing management is more dependent on information systems, such as more computer information management technology, more human-computer interaction instruction management mode, covering upstream and downstream enterprises and even the entire industry chain of data interaction and management communication. Fourth, intelligent manufacturing products and services can cover the entire product production cycle, and truly realize the full closed-loop management of products from manufacturing to the end, which can greatly improve the ability of products to adapt to the market and more fully meet the individual needs of customers.
China's intelligent manufacturing development foundation and support capacity significantly enhanced
China's intelligent manufacturing is developing rapidly and its development strategy is clear. On December 8, 2016, the "Intelligent Manufacturing Development Plan (2016-2020)" (hereinafter referred to as the "Plan") jointly formulated by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the Ministry of Finance was promulgated. According to the "Plan", before 2025, China will promote the development of intelligent manufacturing and implement the "two-step" strategy. The first step is that by 2020, the development foundation and supporting capabilities of intelligent manufacturing will be significantly enhanced, the key areas of traditional manufacturing will basically realize digital manufacturing, and the intelligent transformation of key industries with conditions and foundations will make significant progress; the second step is to 2025, The intelligent manufacturing support system has been basically established, and key industries have initially realized intelligent transformation.
The Plan calls for four specific goals to be achieved by 2020:
Goal one:Intelligent manufacturing technology and equipment to achieve a breakthrough. Research and development of a number of intelligent manufacturing key technology and equipment, with strong competitiveness, the domestic market satisfaction rate of more than 50%. Breakthrough a number of key common technologies for intelligent manufacturing. Core support software domestic market satisfaction rate of more than 30%.
Goal two:The foundation for development has been significantly strengthened. The intelligent manufacturing standard system is basically perfect, more than 200 intelligent manufacturing standards are formulated (revised), and the industrial Internet and information security system for the manufacturing industry has been initially established.
Goal three:The intelligent manufacturing ecosystem has taken shape. Cultivate more than 40 system solution suppliers with strong competitiveness and main business income of more than 1 billion yuan, and basically establish an intelligent manufacturing talent team.
Goal four:The development of key areas has achieved remarkable results. The penetration rate of digital R & D and design tools for enterprises in key areas of manufacturing industry exceeds 70%, the numerical control rate of key processes exceeds 50%, the penetration rate of digital workshop/intelligent factory exceeds 20%, and the operating cost, product development cycle and defective product rate are greatly reduced.
From a macro perspective, manufacturing is the main battlefield of the digital economy. In recent years, the basic digital capabilities of manufacturing enterprises have been steadily improved, and the digital equipment digitization rate and digital equipment networking rate of manufacturing enterprises have continued to increase. According to the data of "New Momentum for High-quality Development: China's Digital Economy Development Report 2020" by the Prospective Industry Research Institute, in 2019, the digitalization rate of production equipment, the numerical control rate of key processes and the networking rate of digital equipment of industrial enterprises above designated size will reach 47.1, 49.5 and 41.0 respectively, and the penetration rate of digital R & D and design tools of industrial enterprises will reach 69.3. The digital rate index directly reflects the progress speed of China's intelligent manufacturing transformation and upgrading.
China has formed a series of advanced manufacturing industry clusters.According to the research results of CCID Research Institute on the spatial distribution of advanced manufacturing clusters in my country, my country has formed an overall pattern of spatial distribution of advanced manufacturing clusters characterized by "one belt, three cores and two supports. The core area of Bohai Rim mainly includes Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, Liaoning, Shandong and other provinces and cities. It is an important domestic advanced manufacturing R & D, design and manufacturing base. Among them, Beijing focuses on advanced manufacturing and high-tech research and development, Tianjin focuses on aerospace industry, Shandong focuses on intelligent manufacturing equipment and marine engineering equipment, and Liaoning focuses on intelligent manufacturing and rail transit. The core area of the Yangtze River Delta is centered on Shanghai, and Jiangsu and Zhejiang are the two wings. It is mainly prominent in the fields of aviation manufacturing, marine engineering, and intelligent manufacturing equipment, forming a relatively complete R & D, design and manufacturing industry chain. The advanced manufacturing industry in the core area of the Pearl River Delta is mainly concentrated in Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Zhuhai and Jiangmen. The clusters are mainly special ships, rail transit, aviation manufacturing, CNC system technology and robots. The central support area is mainly composed of Hunan, Shanxi, Jiangxi and Hubei, and its aviation equipment and rail transit equipment industry strength is more prominent. The western support area is centered on Sichuan and Shaanxi and is mainly composed of Shaanxi, Sichuan and Chongqing. The rail transit and aerospace industries have formed industrial clusters of a certain scale.
The development of China's manufacturing industry in the main areas:
Take industrial Internet, industrial robots, high-end CNC machine tools and semiconductor industries as examples
(1) The combination of new generation information technology and intelligent manufacturing: the rapid development of industrial Internet
The industrial internet is developing rapidly. The deep integration of the new generation of information technology and the manufacturing industry is an important engine to promote the upgrading of the manufacturing industry. Among them, the industrial Internet is the core of this integration process. Industrial Internet is positively related to the development of intelligent manufacturing in China. In 2018 and 2019, the scale of economic value added of China's industrial Internet industry was 1.42 trillion yuan and 2.13 trillion yuan, respectively, with real year-on-year growth of 55.7 percent and 47.3 percent, accounting for 1.5 percent and 2.2 percent of GDP, respectively, and contributing 6.7 percent and 9.9 percent to economic growth, respectively. In 2018 and 2019, China's industrial Internet led to 1.35 million and 2.06 million new jobs in the whole society, respectively. Judging from this data, the development of China's industrial Internet has formed a new momentum.
There are three major pain points in the development of the industrial Internet.my country's industrial Internet is still in the early stage of development, the standard architecture is still being explored, the business model is not yet mature, there are bottlenecks and shortcomings in technology, talents, security, etc., and the arduousness and complexity of promotion and application coexist, and it is necessary to maintain patience and stability. Seeking progress. Specifically, there are three major problems:
One is the problem of data flow and integration.Mainly reflected in three aspects. First of all, it is the problem of equipment interconnection and information island. For example, a production line involves a large number of different equipment underlying communication and data interaction protocols, and it is difficult to achieve effective data flow and fusion between devices. Secondly, in the current stage of artificial intelligence development, it is still difficult to make intelligent automatic decisions based on big data generated by industrial production. Finally, the special software of industrial Internet equipment is difficult to use, which is also a big bottleneck in the development of industrial Internet.
Second, insufficient consideration of cost and safety issues.On the one hand, there is a cost problem. For example, industrial Internet security involves costs for professionals, data centers, cloud computing, and so on. On the other hand, there are security challenges. For example, the risk of data leakage and cyber attacks on the industrial Internet.
Third, the profit model of the industrial Internet still needs to be explored.Industrial Internet industry standards, involving various manufacturing vertical areas, high degree of specialization, it is difficult to find a common profit and development model.
The 14th meeting of the Central Committee for Comprehensively Deepening Reform held on June 30, 2020 put forward clear requirements for the development of the industrial Internet. The meeting emphasized that to accelerate the integrated development of a new generation of information technology and manufacturing, it is necessary to comply with the new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation trends, with supply-side structural reforms as the main line, intelligent manufacturing as the main direction, and accelerate the development of industrial Internet innovation. Fundamental changes in manufacturing production methods and enterprise forms, consolidate the basic support for integrated development, improve laws and regulations, and improve the digital, networked, and intelligent development level of manufacturing. From this point of view, starting from 2020, in the next period of time, the industrial Internet will be the most critical national strategy for intelligent manufacturing.
(2) China's rapid development of industrial robots
In terms of policy,China's support for industrial robots is long-term and sustainable. In 1959, Americans George Devall and John Ingerberg teamed up to create the first industrial robot, marking the entry of robotics into the manufacturing industry. China began industrial robot research in 1972, with a difference of only about 10 years with the United States. In 1982, the Chinese Academy of Sciences Shenyang Institute of Automation developed China's first industrial robot. In the 1980 s, the development of industrial robots in China mainly involved the research and development of robots on industrial assembly lines such as spraying and welding. After the "863 Plan" was launched, China began to vigorously support the development of industrial robot technology. During the "Tenth Five-Year Plan" (2001~2005), my country began to develop dangerous mission robots, anti-terrorism ordnance processing robots, humanoid robots and bionic robots. During the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan" (2006~2010), we began to focus on the key technologies of intelligent control and human-computer interaction. By the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" (2011~2015), "Intelligent Manufacturing" began to be formally and comprehensively put on the national strategy. In 2016, the "Robot Industry Development Plan (2016-2020)" was released, which began to further improve the robot industry system, expand the scale of the industry, enhance technological innovation capabilities, enhance the production capacity of core components, and enhance application integration capabilities.
In terms of technology,China's robot technology is developing rapidly, but the localization rate of key parts of industrial robots still has a lot of room for improvement. From 2011 to 2020, the number of patents related to domestic robotics technology increased rapidly, with an average annual application volume of 17009.2, an average annual growth rate of 39.53, and a maximum annual growth rate of 79.67 (2016). The annual application volume in 2018 was the highest, with 37853 applications. The rapid growth of the number of robot patents in China shows the rapid development of robot technology in China since 2011. However, the localization rate of key parts and components of industrial robots in China is still low, which restricts the development of China's industrial robot industry. According to the data of the Head Leopard Research Institute, the localization rate of industrial robot machinery in China is 30%, the localization rate of reducer is 10%, the localization rate of controller is 13%, and the localization rate of servo system is 15%. In the production cost structure of industrial robots in China, the cost of the three core components of servo system, controller and reducer accounts for more than 70%. Core components because of high technical barriers, low degree of localization, mainly rely on imports, so the cost is relatively high. For example, when Chinese industrial robot manufacturers purchase reducers, due to the small number of purchases, it is difficult to produce economies of scale, and they are faced with the problem of excessive bargaining power of international suppliers. For the same type of reducer, the purchase price of Chinese companies is twice that of internationally renowned companies. Times.
On the demand side,The support of national policies and the accelerated upgrading of intelligent manufacturing have enabled the industrial robot market to continue to grow rapidly. According to the ''China Robot Industry Development Report 2019 ''issued by the China Electronics Society in August 2019, the demand for intelligent transformation and upgrading of my country's manufacturing has become increasingly prominent, and the demand for industrial robots is still strong. my country's industrial robot market has maintained a good development, accounting for about the global market. The 1/3 share is the world's largest industrial robot application market. In addition, according to the statistics of the International Federation of Robotics (IFR), the density of industrial robots in my country reached 97 units/10,000 people in 2017, exceeding the global average, and will exceed 130 units/10,000 people in 2021, reaching the average level of developed countries. As shown in Figure 1, in the long run, manufacturing companies still have a huge demand for industrial robots, and the downward trend of robot prices will continue. Under the comprehensive factors of "volume increase and price decrease", the sales of industrial robots have grown steadily and are expected to reach 26.58 billion yuan by 2023. In addition, with the advancement of some Western countries' control strategies against China, my country's industrial robots are developing rapidly, while also accelerating the domestic substitution of key components such as industrial robot servo motors, reducers, and controllers. The localization of the core components of industrial robots will also become an important trend in the future development.

(3) High-end CNC machine tools are still the short board of our country
High-end CNC machine tools are closely related to the development of industrial robots in my country, but the development of high-end CNC machine tools in my country is still relatively backward, which is also an important shortcoming that restricts the development of my country's intelligent manufacturing industry. According to data, among the top 10 CNC machine tool companies in the world in 2019, Japan's Yamazaki Mazak Company ranked first with a revenue of US $5.28 billion, Germany's Tongkuai Company ranked second with US $4.24 billion, and Germany-Japan joint venture company Demagi Seiki ranked third with US $3.82 billion, followed by Mag, Tiantian, Okuma, Makino, Graubo, Haas, and Emak. None of the 10 high-end machine tool companies are Chinese.
China has a greater demand for imported machine tools.According to the data disclosed by the General Administration of Customs, from 2015 to 2019, my country imported a total of 29914 CNC machine tools, with a total import of 97.8 billion billion yuan. In addition, China's high-end machine tools and core components are still dependent on imports, as of 2021, domestic high-end CNC machine tool system market share of less than 30%. The machining accuracy of domestic precision machine tools can only reach sub-micron, which is 1 to 2 orders of magnitude different from the international advanced level. Therefore, under the contradiction between supply and demand, China's high-end machine tool autonomy, domestic substitution task is still arduous.
Specifically, there are four main problems in China's high-end CNC machine tools. First, the precision numerical control system of high-end machine tools mainly comes from Japan and Germany, while the domestic numerical control system is mainly used in medium and low-end machine tools, and the independent supply of precision numerical control system of domestic high-end machine tools is still lacking; second, the spindle mainly comes from Germany, Switzerland, Britain and other countries, and the domestic enterprises have certain production capacity, but the technology still needs to be improved; fourth, the tools are mainly from Sweden, the United States, Japan and other countries, domestic tool materials are backward, life and stability is not high, the average life expectancy is only 1/3 to 1/2 of the international advanced level.
(4) Progress in semiconductor development
Semiconductor market demand accounted for the first in the world, but the domestic supply capacity is limited.China's semiconductor industry is developing very rapidly and its influence is growing. According to data from the Statista Global Statistical Database, as of 2012, my country's semiconductor market demand share exceeded half for the first time-accounting for 52.5 percent of the global total semiconductor demand. According to the "2021 Global Semiconductor Market Trends White Paper" published by CCID Consulting on June 1, 2021: "In terms of regional structure, China has been the world's largest semiconductor consumer market for many years. In 2020, China's market share will reach up to 34.4 percent. The market share of the United States, Europe, Japan and other markets is 21.7 percent, 8.5 percent, 8.3 percent and 27.1 percent, respectively."
However, at the same time, China's semiconductor self-sufficiency is seriously insufficient. According to the available data released by the China Semiconductor Industry Association (CSIA), China's integrated circuit imports reached US $227.1 billion in 2016, while my country imported 381.01 million tons of crude oil in the same year, with a total amount of US $116.469 billion. Integrated circuit imports far exceeded oil imports. China's semiconductor production has been unable to meet domestic semiconductor consumption demand. According to October 2020 data from Daxue Consulting, a well-known French-funded market research firm, "China has been the largest market for semiconductors since 2005. However, in 2018, only slightly more than 15% of China's total semiconductor consumption was provided by Chinese production". According to Bloomberg data, China's chip imports climbed to nearly $380 billion in 2020, accounting for about 18% of China's total domestic imports. By the first half of 2021, the supply gap in the domestic semiconductor sector has not narrowed. According to data from the General Administration of Customs, from January to May 2021, China imported 260.35 billion integrated circuits, an increase of 30% year-on-year. From this point of view, as of the first half of 2021, domestic semiconductor supply capacity is still limited.
Some of China's semiconductor industry has international competitiveness, but lacks high-end chip production capacity.The entire manufacturing process of the semiconductor industry can be divided into three parts: distributed design, manufacturing, and packaging. On March 1, 2021, the State Information Office held a press conference on the development of industry and information technology. Tian Yulong, a member of the party group, chief engineer, and press spokesperson of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said in response to a reporter's question: "The overall development of China's integrated circuit industry during the 13th Five-Year Plan is very impressive, and the scale of the industry continues to grow. It is estimated that in 2020, China's integrated circuit sales revenue reached 884.8 billion billion yuan, with an average growth rate of 20%, three times the growth rate of the global integrated circuit industry in the same period. Breakthroughs have also been made in technological innovation, and the manufacturing process, packaging technology, and key equipment materials have all been significantly improved."
In the field of semiconductor industry manufacturing, domestic independent innovation substitution is accelerating in an all-round way. According to the June 2020 report of Guosheng Securities, China's domestic semiconductor manufacturing has basically completed the construction work from scratch. For example, the medium etching machine of China Micro Company has entered the 5nm process. North Huachuang Silicon Etching Enters SMIC28nm Production Line for Mass Production; Yitang Semiconductor (Mattson) has the second largest market share in the world in the glue removal equipment market. Shengmei Semiconductor Monolithic Cleaning Machine is mass produced in Hylix, Changsheng, SMIC and other production lines. Shenyang Tuojing PECVD Enters SMIC and Huali Micro 28nm Production Lines for Mass Production; ALD in 2018; precision electronics, Shanghai Ruili in the field of measurement to break through foreign monopoly and so on. But on the whole, my country currently lacks the stable and large-scale production capacity of high-end chips of 7nm and below. Huawei's current difficulties are also largely rooted in this. my country is still a long way from achieving mass production of high-end chips. Way to go.
China's wafer production capacity has developed rapidly, and a relatively complete semiconductor industry chain has been formed, but the industrial structure is unbalanced.China has made great progress in semiconductor production materials-wafer manufacturing. As of December 2020, China's wafer production capacity accounted for 15.3 per cent of global wafer production capacity, surpassing North America (which accounts for 12.6 per cent of global wafer production capacity) to become the fourth largest wafer manufacturing region in the world (Taiwan, China, 21.4 per cent; South Korea, 20.4 per cent; and Japan, 15.8 per cent).
The rapid development of semiconductor material manufacturing plays a very important role in the promotion of the whole semiconductor industry chain in China. For example, HiSilicon Semiconductor is the leading IC design company in China, with sales of 26 billion billion in 2016, making it the largest fabless chip design company in China. HiSilicon Semiconductor's business includes chips and solutions in consumer electronics, communications, optical devices and other fields, representing products such as Kirin series processors. On October 22, 2020, Huawei released the Kirin 9000 chip at the HUAWEI Mate 40 series global online launch, using a 5nm process. According to reports, Kirin 9000 to surpass competitors such as Snapdragon 865 and Apple A14 in multiple parameters. However, the processing and production of Kirin still requires overseas companies to contract, so the supply of Kirin chips will be affected by international factors such as the "US chip ban. China still has the problem of uneven development in the semiconductor industry structure, and it is difficult to be completely self-sufficient.
At present, the global semiconductor industry chain segmentation trend is very obvious. Compared with the previous IDM model, which was designed, manufactured and sealed in the same company, these three links have formed a relatively independent division of professional enterprises. The process of global semiconductor industry chain moving towards division of labor is also the process of globalization of semiconductor industry chain. In 1996 as a watershed. Prior to this, China's semiconductor industry was subject to international and domestic political factors, and was completely out of touch with the "Moore's Law" speed of the development of the global semiconductor industry. However, after 1996, through a series of strategic promotion such as the "908" and "909" projects, coupled with a series of supporting developments in the entire industry chain since the 21st century, my country's semiconductor industry system has made great progress. At present, China has become the wafer foundry. The second largest country in the world in the manufacturing industry. From the perspective of the technological development process of China's semiconductor industry, China's semiconductor manufacturing process has shrunk from more than 3 generations behind to only 1 to 2 generations behind.
At the same time, we must also see that in the chip manufacturing process, although there are "908" and "909" projects and the country's vigorous promotion in the past ten years, the backwardness of China's integrated circuit industry is still beyond doubt. It must be admitted that the overall industrial structure is seriously unbalanced, with few and weak design companies. Although semiconductor giants have set up factories in manufacturing, they mainly focus on packaging and testing, and due to foreign policy restrictions, manufacturing processes are lagging behind foreign countries. As for manufacturing equipment, it is almost entirely dependent on imports. We still have to face these problems, but also need in-depth analysis and mining reasons.
Problems and Countermeasures of Intelligent Manufacturing Development in China
Intelligent manufacturing talent shortage, need to speed up the training of relevant talents.China's intelligent manufacturing is facing a large talent gap, training mechanism can not keep up, the existing manufacturing personnel to adapt to the requirements of intelligent manufacturing transformation is difficult.
First, the overall talent gap is large.The ''Manufacturing Talent Development Planning Guide'' jointly issued by the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology predicts that by 2025, the talent gap in high-end CNC machine tools and robotics-related fields will reach 4.5 million, and the demand for talents It is bound to become greater in the deepening of intelligent manufacturing.
Second, the mobility of personnel is large, and the demographic dividend is shrinking after the Lewis inflection point.Not only is the talent gap large, manufacturing personnel mobility is also very large. According to CICC's research, after crossing the Lewis turning point, the bargaining power of the demand side in the manufacturing labor market declined. For example, some textile enterprises have reported that since 2012, enterprises have faced the situation that grass-roots employees cannot be recruited and junior college students cannot stay in China. In addition, some auto parts enterprises hope to retain skilled workers, but after the outbreak of new coronary pneumonia, some workers in Sichuan and Chongqing may choose not to come back. The relocation of industries in the past few years has also made many workers in the central and western regions choose to work nearby.
Third, the new jobs created by the transformation and upgrading of intelligent manufacturing require new technical talents, but traditional employees may not be able to transform and adapt to the needs of new jobs in the short term.Taking the industrial Internet as an example, research by the China Industrial Internet Research Institute shows that industrial Internet-related occupations are constantly emerging. Of the 29 new occupations released by the state in 2019 and 2020, 13 are related to the industrial Internet, such as big data engineering and technical personnel and cloud computing engineering and technical personnel, accounting for 44.8 percent of the new occupations. To be competent for these new positions requires a higher and newer knowledge reserve, and it takes time for engineers and technicians in the original traditional manufacturing field to meet the skill requirements of these new positions.
All of these are unavoidable problems in the process of upgrading the intelligent industrial structure. To solve these problems, we can start from two aspects. On the one hand, we should establish a more sound in-service education system and provide the recognition and gold content of in-service education. Manufacturing is an important area of employment, and the transformation and upgrading of related personnel is a prerequisite for moving towards intelligent manufacturing. In the case of a large talent gap, in-service personnel "Learning by doing" is a more pragmatic path for the training of intelligent talents in the manufacturing industry. At the same time, employers should also abandon prejudices and discrimination against on-the-job learning, avoid "academic qualifications only", and select talents according to the actual needs of the manufacturing industry and personal abilities.
On the other hand, the use of manufacturing talent is facing the "Z generation" challenge. "Generation Z" is a popular term in the United States and Europe. It refers to people born between 1995 and 2009. It is also called the Internet generation and the Internet generation. It refers to the Internet, instant messaging, SMS, MP3, smart phones and tablet computers. A generation that has a great influence. In the face of the changes of the times, the traditional way of employing and managing people in the manufacturing industry needs to be changed, so that the younger generation can stay and work, and the more they work, the more hopeful they are.
The security of the industrial Internet needs to be paid great attention to, and the responsibility system should be further refined and clarified.Industrial Internet as the "blood" of intelligent manufacturing, its security is directly related to the security of intelligent manufacturing. Industrial Internet and manufacturing systems are highly integrated, and these integrations make smart manufacturing systems more vulnerable to cyber threats. In July 2019, ten departments including the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology jointly issued the ''Guiding Opinions on Strengthening Industrial Internet Security Work'' (hereinafter referred to as the ''Guiding Opinions''), and put forward two overall goals: First, by the end of 2020, the industry The Internet security guarantee system has been initially established; second, by 2025, the system and mechanism will be sound and perfect, the technical means and capabilities will be significantly improved, and the security industry will form a scale, A relatively complete and reliable industrial Internet security system has been basically established.
At present, the threat of China's industrial Internet is more serious. From January to June 2020, the National Industrial Internet Security Situational Awareness and Risk Early Warning Platform continued to monitor the security of 136 major Internet platforms, more than 100000 industrial enterprises and more than 900 million networked devices, and found 13.563 million malicious network behaviors involving 2039 enterprises. According to data, as of June 2020, although the overall security situation of China's industrial Internet is stable, no major industrial Internet security problems have been found, but the attacks on the basic equipment and systems of the industrial Internet are increasing, the scope and depth of attacks are expanding, and the industrial Internet is facing severe security challenges in the future.
Industrial Internet security issues will inevitably change with the development of intelligent manufacturing upgrades, so the relevant prevention mechanism is the key. The "Guiding Opinions" particularly emphasized that by the end of 2020, "in terms of institutional mechanisms, establish industrial Internet security management systems such as supervision and inspection, information sharing and notification, and emergency response, build a corporate security subject responsibility system, and formulate at least equipment, platforms, and data. 20 urgently needed industrial Internet security standards, and explore the construction of an industrial Internet security evaluation system". It can be seen that the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and other relevant competent authorities in my country have a full understanding of the complexity of industrial Internet security issues and the importance of multi-sectoral joint prevention and control. The refinement of the responsibility system in all areas and links of the industrial Internet is the primary issue of multi-sectoral cooperation in prevention and control. Therefore, while strengthening the construction of relevant standards, it is also necessary to further refine the responsibilities of the relevant safety system, and it is necessary to implement the prevention work to the specific competent departments.
The domestic substitution of semiconductors, high-end CNC machine tools, and core components of industrial robots requires my country to improve its independent innovation capabilities. It is recommended to further deepen the reform of the scientific research system, strengthen the linkage between scientific research institutions and the industry, and promote the development of key areas by improving the independent innovation capabilities of the national system. Technical bottleneck breakthrough.Semiconductors, high-end CNC machine tools, and core components of industrial robots are closely related in the technology path. For example, these three areas have similar or common technology stacks in sensors, control systems, and various smart chip modules. China's efforts to increase the rate of domestic substitution in these areas cannot be achieved by relying on individual technological breakthroughs. The domestic substitution breakthrough of semiconductors, high-end CNC machine tools, and core components of industrial robots needs to rely on the improvement of national system innovation capabilities, which will be a long-term process. At the national level, these areas mainly rely on the support of relevant ministries and local industrial policies, but lack the unified strategy of the central government. It is suggested that based on the improvement of the country's overall system innovation capability, the specific responsible person should be clarified from the central level, and the independent innovation issues in the fields of semiconductors, high-end CNC machine tools, and core components of industrial robots should be coordinated. Through the overall planning at the central level, in the continuous reform, we will establish a national system independent innovation mechanism suitable for solving the current "stuck neck" problem of semiconductor, high-end CNC machine tools and industrial robot core components, establish institutionalized innovation breakthrough ability, and promote China's intelligent manufacturing to a new level.
To speed up the upgrading and development of intelligent manufacturing, it is necessary to further activate the vitality of private enterprises and improve the relevant market competition and exit mechanism.On the one hand, the transformation and upgrading of intelligent manufacturing of Chinese enterprises in the future, while state-owned enterprises become bigger and stronger, the momentum of the development of private manufacturing can not be ignored. Since 2018, my country has a deeper understanding of the impact of administrative policies on private enterprises, especially the impact of policy rigidity on the vitality of private enterprises, which requires long-term vigilance. In addition, China's intelligent manufacturing should also reserve development space for "small and micro private enterprises" to guide and promote the formation or integration of small and micro enterprises into the industrial chain.
On the other hand, most of my country's manufacturing industry is no longer an infant industry, and protection and competition, policy support and market exit mechanisms need to be promoted in parallel. Taking the semiconductor industry as an example, my country's semiconductor chip demand currently occupies the first place in the world. In addition to chip manufacturing, there is a big gap with international development. my country already has a strong global competition in wafer material production, sealing and testing, and electronic product manufacturing. Competitiveness. Combined with the experience of the semiconductor industry in the United States, industrial policy support is needed in the early stage of industry development, but with the continuous maturity of the industry's own development, it is necessary to gradually transition from industrial policy promotion to the combination of industrial policy and trade policy, appropriately introduce competition mechanism, eliminate backward production capacity, and provide better innovation space for competitive enterprises. Therefore, China's semiconductor industry still needs to face the global competition with the United States and other developed countries, and long-term competition and competition will be the norm.
