What does Smart Manufacturing 2025 mean?
"Smart Manufacturing 2025" was the main content of Made in China 2025, which was dedicated to promoting the development of the manufacturing industry in the direction of smart manufacturing (Industry 4.0). From the perspective of the goal, it was to achieve "lean, flexible, autonomous, interconnected, and intelligent". lean meant low consumption, zero waste, zero defects, and zero delay; flexible meant that the manufacturing system could adapt to multi-species and small-scale production with minimal asset investment until it could realize individual or individual production; autonomous meant that the manufacturing system could achieve "less humanization" on the basis of high degree of automaton, and realize self-planning, self-organization, self-feedback, and self-adapting independent management; Interconnection and intelligence cover the connection and intelligence between the personnel, processes, tools, raw materials, and other elements in the enterprise and its industry, including the product chain, demand chain, supply chain, and the connection and intelligence of each chain in the service manufacturing model, as well as related management systems. In terms of technical support, it relied on the industrial Internet, including the network composed of the upstream industrial Internet, the downstream consumer Internet, and the internal information physical network (GPS). It involved the Internet of Things, machine learning, artificial intelligence, cloud computing, big data, smart devices, 5G and other new generation IT/OT/CT technologies. Its business topics included smart factories in a narrow sense and smart production in a broad sense. The technical topics included the new generation of digital enterprise information communication framework (digital main line) and the new generation of digital enterprise human-computer interaction interface (digital twin). The digital main line was similar to the "data middle station" of intelligent manufacturing enterprises, and the digital twin was the main support for the new business form. In addition, it also included three types of integration, namely vertical integration (the layer penetration and two-way interaction from decision-making to feedback in the value chain of enterprises and their industries, realized by the integration of relevant systems), end-to-end integration (the two-way transmission of information related to products and assets in the entire chain of product R & D and manufacturing service system, realized through multiple system integration), and horizontal integration (the two-way exchange of supply and demand information between enterprises and upstream and downstream).

What is smart manufacturing?
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.
