He emphasized that intelligent manufacturing is an inevitable trend in industrial development in the new era, and AI, as a key technology driving this transformation, is continuously pushing manufacturing toward high-end, intelligent, and green development.  

In recent years, Shenzhen has actively responded to national calls, implemented innovation-driven development strategies, and promoted the integration of intelligent manufacturing and AI. The city has established several national-level intelligent manufacturing demonstration factories and application scenarios, achieving remarkable results. More Shenzhen enterprises are actively engaging in "Manufacturing + AI" innovation, injecting strong momentum into industrial transformation and high-quality development.  

Moving forward, the Shenzhen Municipal Bureau of Industry and Information Technology will continue to uphold the principles of open cooperation and mutual benefit, providing strong policy support and a favorable environment for the innovation and development of intelligent manufacturing and AI. The bureau will also increase investment, improve the industrial system, optimize the innovation ecosystem, and promote the implementation of more innovative achievements in Shenzhen.  

Fan Kefeng, Vice President of the China Electronics Standardization Institute, stated that intelligent manufacturing is the main direction for building a strong manufacturing nation, an important task in advancing new industrialization, and the primary battlefield for driving the digital and intelligent transformation of manufacturing. In November last year, Minister Jin Zhuanglong emphasized the need to actively advance standardization in intelligent manufacturing during his visit to the institute.  

In recent years, the China Electronics Standardization Institute has prioritized supporting intelligent manufacturing, with standardization as the core focus. Efforts have been made to cultivate and uate suppliers, supporting the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and local authorities in promoting intelligent manufacturing development. Notable achievements include expanding and improving comprehensive intelligent manufacturing standardization, guiding industry practices, strengthening supplier development, and enhancing uation frameworks to provide scientific guidance for intelligent manufacturing progress.  

Next steps include transforming and promoting competition results, facilitating collaboration between projects and enterprises or investors, and leveraging media resources to increase visibility and impact, driving the "upgraded version" of intelligent manufacturing forward.  

Experts from various companies delivered keynote speeches at the conference.  

Chen Chao, Chief Technology Officer of Yanxiang Group, presented a report titled "Industrial Intelligence Empowering New Industrialization."
