Equipment renewal in industrial field highlights digitalization and greening, and highlights the ＂background color＂ of high-quality development.

　　CCTV News:Seven departments, including the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, launched the implementation plan of equipment renewal in the industrial field on April 9. The plan is clear. By 2027, the scale of equipment investment in China’s industrial sector will increase by more than 25% compared with 2023.

　　The implementation plan to promote the upgrading of industrial equipment will rely on the unified national market, guide enterprises to eliminate backward equipment and use advanced equipment according to laws and regulations, and improve production efficiency and technical level. At the same time, adhere to the integrated update of software and hardware, pay attention to the iterative upgrade and innovative application of software system while promoting the update of hardware equipment.

　　The plan is clear. By 2027, the scale of equipment investment in China’s industrial sector will increase by more than 25% compared with that in 2023. The penetration rate of digital R&D design tools and the numerical control rate of key processes of industrial enterprises above designated size will exceed 90% and 75% respectively, and the digital transformation of industrial enterprises will be fully covered by industrial provinces, cities and key parks.

　　Yu Xiaohui, president of China Information and Communication Research Institute, said that on the one hand, promoting the upgrading of large-scale equipment in the industrial field is conducive to stimulating effective investment and promoting technological progress. At the same time, it is also conducive to promoting the continuous improvement of the proportion of advanced production capacity, promoting industrial upgrading and upgrading, which is of great significance to accelerating the construction of a modern industrial system and helping to accelerate the cultivation and development of new quality productivity.

　　A number of industry-related equipment were included in the update action.

　　In the implementation of promoting the upgrading of equipment in the industrial field, related equipment in multiple industries will be included in the upgrading action.

　　In the replacement of inefficient equipment, we will speed up the elimination of backward and inefficient equipment and old equipment that has been in service for an extended period, aiming at production equipment such as industrial mother machines, agricultural machinery, construction machinery and electric bicycles. Among them, we will focus on promoting the industrial machine tool industry to update machine tools that have been in service for more than 10 years; The agricultural machinery industry will update flexible cutting, forming, welding, manufacturing and production technologies and equipment; The construction machinery industry will update hydraulic presses, bending machines, outdated production lines and online testing equipment.

　　In the action of upgrading high-end advanced equipment, enterprises are encouraged to update a batch of advanced equipment with high technology, high efficiency and high reliability for aviation, photovoltaic, power battery, biological fermentation and other production equipment. Among them, we will focus on promoting the aviation industry to comprehensively carry out the assembly integration capabilities and supply chain supporting capabilities of large aircraft, large amphibious aircraft and aero-engines; The production equipment in the power battery industry is upgraded to high precision, high speed and high reliability, with emphasis on updating ultrasonic welding machines, laser welding machines, liquid injection machines, volumetric cabinets and other equipment.

　　In upgrading test and testing equipment, in key industries such as petrochemical industry, medicine, shipbuilding, electronics, etc., a number of advanced equipment are updated around pilot verification and inspection and testing links such as design verification, test verification and process verification, so as to enhance engineering and industrialization capabilities.

　　Yu Xiaohui introduced that China has 41 industrial categories, 207 industrial categories and 666 industrial subcategories, which are the characteristics of the industry itself. Therefore, in this scheme, it is considered in different ways, including the replacement of inefficient equipment, the update and upgrade of high-end advanced equipment, and the update and upgrade of experimental testing equipment.

　　Focus on digital transformation and green transformation

　　In the implementation plan of equipment renewal in the industrial field, the characteristics of digitalization and greening will be highlighted.

　　In the implementation of digital transformation, it will promote the update of CNC machine tools, basic manufacturing equipment, additive manufacturing equipment, industrial robots, industrial control equipment, intelligent logistics equipment, sensing and testing equipment and other general intelligent manufacturing equipment. In addition, it also includes the raw material manufacturing industry to accelerate the application of new intelligent equipment such as unmanned transport vehicles, and the consumer goods manufacturing industry to promote new modes of intelligent equipment such as flexible production and personalized customization.

　　In building smart factories, it will promote the deep application of new technologies such as artificial intelligence, fifth-generation mobile communication and edge computing in manufacturing. Promote the networking of equipment and the digital link of production links, realize the connectivity of production data, flexible manufacturing and intelligent management, and build a digital workshop.

　　In terms of digital infrastructure construction, we will speed up the scale of new network infrastructure such as industrial Internet, Internet of Things, 5G and Gigabit optical networks, encourage the transformation of internal and external networks of industrial enterprises, and encourage large group enterprises and industrial parks to establish distinctive industrial Internet platforms.

　　In accelerating the green transformation of production equipment, we will promote the popularization and application of energy-saving and environmental protection green equipment in key energy-using industries and key links. The plan also includes accelerating the application of solid waste treatment and water-saving equipment, promoting industrial water saving and wastewater recycling, transforming industrial cooling circulation system and wastewater treatment and reuse system, and updating a number of cooling towers and other equipment.

　　Yu Xiaohui said that digitalization and greening are the two major directions for the development of manufacturing industry at present and for a long time to come, and they are also two major technical variables that affect the overall development and transformation of manufacturing industry and global competitive advantage. The promotion of green equipment is the direction of our efforts, and it is also the most important field for us to achieve the goal of industrial peak carbon dioxide emissions and carbon neutrality.
