By 2035, China's intelligent manufacturing development will be divided into two stages: digital transformation and intelligent upgrade. In the digital transformation stage, we will further promote the "Major Action for Digital Transformation of Manufacturing Industry". By 2027, the above-standard enterprises will basically realize digital transformation, and digital manufacturing will be basically popularized in industrial enterprises all over the country. At the same time, the scientific research and research of the new generation of intelligent manufacturing technology will make breakthrough progress, and the pilot and demonstration will achieve remarkable results. In the intelligent upgrading stage, the "Major Action for Intelligent Upgrading of the Manufacturing Industry" was further promoted. By 2035, the enterprises above the regulations would basically realize intelligent upgrading, and the digital network intelligent manufacturing would basically be popularized in the national industrial enterprises. China's intelligent manufacturing technology and application level would be in the forefront of the world, and China's manufacturing industry would be in the forefront of the world. By 2035, all kinds of products and equipment in China would be upgraded from the "digital generation" to the "intelligent network generation", which would be reflected in the emergence of a large number of advanced intelligent network life products; On the other hand, manufacturing, transportation, electronics, and service equipment would be fully digitized and upgraded, equipping China with a more advanced "industrial brain". In addition, from a more macro point of view, intelligent manufacturing was the core technology of the fourth industrial revolution. Its core meaning was artificial intelligence to enable new industrialization. The fundamental task was to realize the digital transformation and intelligent upgrade of the manufacturing industry. In essence, it was "artificial intelligence + Internet + digital manufacturing". In the long-term practice and evolution, three basic norms of digital manufacturing, digital network manufacturing and digital network intelligent manufacturing were formed.

Industry 4.0 was a division based on the different stages of industrial development. It was an era that used information technology to promote industrial transformation, which was also the era of intelligence. This concept was first proposed by the German government. It aims to promote the transformation of the manufacturing industry to intelligence through the combination of information and communication technology and cyber-physical systems. In order to promote Industry 4.0, Germany had taken measures such as establishing a guiding framework and promoting the process of digitizing. Intelligent manufacturing had no internationally recognized definition. It was generally considered to be the deep integration of the new generation of information communication technology and advanced manufacturing technology. The more general definition was that it was based on the entire life cycle of the product, based on the new generation of information technology, with the manufacturing system as the carrier. It had a certain degree of independent perception, learning, analysis, decision-making, communication, and coordination control in the key links or processes. It could adapt to the changes in the manufacturing environment, thus achieving the optimization goals of high efficiency, low cost, and high quality. Industry 4.0 and smart manufacturing were closely related. Smart manufacturing was an important part of the fourth industrial revolution led by Industry 4.0. Industry 4.0 promoted the transformation of the manufacturing industry to intelligence through the combination of information communication technology and information physics systems. This transformation process could not be separated from the support of smart manufacturing related technologies. At the same time, the development of smart manufacturing was also one of the key paths to achieve Industry 4.0, which helped to achieve the strategic tasks of improving production efficiency, energy conservation, and industrial restructuring.

The Made in China 2025 Strategy was released in May 2015 to promote the upgrading of China's manufacturing industry and realize the transformation from low-end manufacturing to high-end manufacturing. This was an important part of China's powerful country strategy. In terms of smart manufacturing, it was the main content of Made in China 2025. Smart manufacturing (Industry 4.0) could be summarized as "one vision, one network, two main topics, and three integration." One vision was the goal of the enterprise to implement intelligent manufacturing, including lean, flexible, autonomous, interconnected, intelligent and other meanings; One network referred to the industrial Internet supported by the technology of enterprises to realize intelligent manufacturing; The two major topics included two business topics in intelligent manufacturing (narrow sense of intelligent factory and broad sense of intelligent production) and two major technical topics (digital main line and digital twin); The three integration were vertical integration, end-to-end integration and horizontal integration. China has carried out a lot of work around promoting the development of smart manufacturing. First, increase technological breakthroughs, develop intelligent manufacturing processes, equipment, and software systems, and carry out relevant technological breakthroughs. At present, the scale of China's intelligent manufacturing equipment industry has reached more than 3.2 trillion yuan. The second is to strengthen the supply of solutions and focus on cultivating system solution suppliers of a certain scale. The system integration ability in some fields has reached the international advanced level. The third was to strengthen the leading demonstration. For three consecutive years, the smart manufacturing pilot demonstration action was implemented, and many national demonstration factories and provincial digital workshops and smart factories were cultivated. Most of the demonstration factories applied artificial intelligence, digital twins and other technologies. Fourth, strengthen the formulation of standards, issue a number of national standards and lead the formulation of a number of international standards to promote the development of smart manufacturing standards. From the completion situation, Made in China 2025 includes ten fields, among which the market scale of intelligent manufacturing core information equipment will reach 3.4 trillion yuan in 2024, the market satisfaction rate will exceed 50%, more than 2500 digital workshops and intelligent factories will be built, the income of industrial software products will exceed 240 billion yuan, and 80,000 new enterprises for intelligent manufacturing equipment will be added. However, the domestic production rate of high-end numerical control machine tools was still low, foreign brands occupied a dominant position, and industrial software was still dominated by foreign software.

Smart manufacturing was defined as " the ability to solve existing and future problems through open infrastructure, so that solutions can be implemented at business speed while creating beneficial value." It was a fusion of modern data science technology and artificial intelligence technology. Generally speaking, intelligence was the sum of knowledge and intelligence. Knowledge was the foundation of intelligence, while intelligence was the ability to obtain and use knowledge to solve problems. Intelligent manufacturing includes intelligent manufacturing technology and intelligent manufacturing systems. Compared with traditional manufacturing systems, intelligent manufacturing systems are highly automated. Each manufacturing unit has autonomy, and the self-organization ability of the entire system can ensure a high degree of coordination between the manufacturing unit and the system. Moreover, the intelligent manufacturing system could learn by itself in practice and continuously replenish its knowledge base. By collecting and understanding environmental information and its own information, it could analyze, judge, and plan its own behavior.
