English Translation

News from China Chemical News Network: The 2026 Intelligent Manufacturing System Solutions Conference convened in Beijing on June 11. Industry experts shared cutting-edge technological trends and innovative practices covering the development of industrial robots under the backdrop of new-generation intelligent manufacturing, integration of industrial large models and control systems, AI applications in manufacturing, and dual-driving powered by data and knowledge. Multiple experts stated that China’s intelligent manufacturing has entered a new historical phase, and new-generation intelligent manufacturing will advance rapidly toward intelligence, specialization and integration.

Xin Guobin, Member of the Party Leadership Group and Vice Minister of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, noted that China has yielded remarkable achievements in intelligent manufacturing over the past decade. He emphasized that the 11th Plenary Session of the State Council listed "accelerating the development of new-generation intelligent manufacturing" as one of the six key, highly driving and leverageable tasks during the 15th Five-Year Plan period. This marks that China’s intelligent manufacturing has stepped into a new historical stage, with its system solutions evolving faster in the directions of intelligence, specialization and integration. Against such a trend, solid efforts must be made in technological innovation to develop new-type solutions centered on industrial agents and multimodal large models. Breakthroughs should be pursued in extended services to foster new capabilities such as agent operation and industrial data governance, opening up new tracks for sustainable growth. Initiatives shall be taken to seize opportunities in ecosystem construction: consolidate the fundamental rule-based foundation including industrial operating systems and model algorithms, take an active part in the formulation of international standards, and offer Chinese solutions for the digital and intelligent transformation of global manufacturing industries.

Zhou Ji, Director of the National Strategic Advisory Committee on Building a Manufacturing Powerhouse, stated that new-generation intelligent manufacturing represents integrated innovation of new-generation artificial intelligence technologies and advanced manufacturing technologies, serving as the advanced and mainstream paradigm of intelligent manufacturing. He stressed the need to maintain strategic resolve, take new-generation intelligent manufacturing as the primary development focus, and thoroughly implement relevant special projects. Full efforts should be devoted to building two core strengths: world-leading intelligent production capacity and a top-tier intelligent equipment industry worldwide. Three supporting systems covering technology, industrial ecosystem and auxiliary services shall be consolidated to drive comprehensive and systematic innovative transformation of manufacturing systems and accelerate China’s manufacturing sector to the forefront of global manufacturing powers.

A video showcasing achievements in intelligent manufacturing system solutions, the Insights on the Development of Intelligent Manufacturing System Solutions, and the Reference Catalogue of Intelligent Manufacturing System Solutions (2026) were released at the conference. Liu Xiangang, Party Secretary and Vice President of China Electronics Standardization Institute, delivered a systematic interpretation of the above outcomes, conducting in-depth analysis on the development trajectory, current challenges and future proposals for China’s intelligent manufacturing system solutions.

Parallel sub-forums on intelligent manufacturing equipment and industrial agents, as well as an exhibition marking the ten-year development achievements of the alliance, were held alongside the main conference. More than 500 participants attended the event, including officials from local industry and information technology authorities, members of the National Expert Committee on Intelligent Manufacturing, representatives of the alliance and its sub-alliances, and media personnel.
