CCTV News: Developing advanced manufacturing industry is an important strategic task in China at present. In the first three quarters of 2026, China's advanced manufacturing industry will experience rapid growth, with new industrial drivers such as high-end manufacturing and digital manufacturing contributing over 50% to the growth of added value in industries above designated size.
Let over 80 intelligent agents participate; Manage” What is the scene of a factory?
In this 27 story large three-dimensional warehouse, there are over 100000 of these black material boxes. Each bin contains different raw materials required for production. At present, it is no longer necessary for humans to plan when and where each box needs to be delivered to on the production line. Instead, decisions are made through collaborative communication among multiple AI agents on site.
This factory located in Nanjing, Jiangsu mainly produces equipment such as 5G base stations and servers. A super large three-dimensional warehouse is equivalent to a factory's; Heart” Distribute materials to the production line 24 hours a day without interruption. The relevant person in charge introduced that in this scenario alone, they have now developed and used multiple intelligent agents, each performing their own duties from task scheduling, path optimization to on-site safety. Running for about half a year now, the efficiency improvement is very obvious.
In addition to warehousing, intelligence is also reflected in the ability to directly drive robots to work in the production end.
This is a very common and basic surface mount process in the electronic information manufacturing industry. The robotic arm here will take the empty material tray off the surface mounting machine, replace and select the new material tray needed now, and put it back on the surface mounting machine for production operations. The whole process is completed through intelligent communication.
ZTE Vice President Zhou Jianfeng introduced that over 80 different types of intelligence in the entire factory are integrated into a unified platform for scheduling. On the supply chain side alone, the daily consumption of keywords can reach 9 billion and continue to grow rapidly. For this purpose, a dedicated computing power center has also been built within the park as a support. The management and scheduling of the entire park is now also using personification; Digital Duty Officer; ， 7× 24-hour on duty command of different intelligent agents for inspection and operation.
According to Liu Ming, an industry solution planning expert at ZTE Xingyun Data Technology, the main intelligent agent receives tasks and distributes them to the corresponding data center; Digital people;. Computer Room“ Digital people; Connected with robots, scheduling robots to perform corresponding inspections at fixed points. The alarm situation, which used to take 15 minutes to detect, has now shifted to the minute level.
Currently, China is cultivating intelligent factories in a gradient manner, with a total of over 65000 intelligent factories built at all levels. Among them, the selected 15 pilot level intelligent factory cultivation objects cover multiple industries such as steel, petrochemicals, home appliances, and automobiles.
This is a leading intelligent factory located in Weifang, Shandong Province, which is currently producing an important component in the production process of diesel engines; — The assembly process of the flywheel housing is also the most complex process that requires the most robots on the entire production line. From feeding, gluing, cleaning, to tightening over 20 bolts, 4 industrial robots work together to complete the entire process in 150 seconds.
From flexible assembly to virtual verification, artificial intelligence is integrated into the entire engine manufacturing chainIn the factory, from the entire production line to individual engines, digital twin technology has now been integrated; Virtual Reality” Two spaces. In the R&D and design process, AI models combined with digital simulation technology can transfer the physical testing of engines to; Super Engineer Platform; Conduct virtual verification to increase R&D efficiency by 20%. It is reported that the application rate of artificial intelligence and other technologies in various scenarios of factories has reached nearly 80%, and the manufacturing process is moving towards; Zero defects” Step forward.
Li Yiyang, the production manager of the complete production line at Weichai Power Plant No.2, introduced that this system is the last inspection before the engine is put into storage, which is equivalent to the last inspection; The goalkeeper;. Two sets of collaborative robots and six sets of visual cameras can intelligently detect some defects in the engine structure and storage status, and can be completed within 10 seconds. The detection rate is now close to 100%.
Academician Yu Haibin: Seize the technological high ground with the new generation of intelligent manufacturing as the main direction
In the current era of rapid iteration of artificial intelligence technology, how can the latest digital intelligence technology better empower the development of advanced manufacturing industry in the future?
Yu Haibin, an academician of the CAE Member and director of the Institute of Industrial Artificial Intelligence of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said that at present, the technology to promote the development of intelligent manufacturing has undergone essential changes, and artificial intelligence is expected to achieve full empowerment of the manufacturing industry in a limited time. On the other hand, the demand for manufacturing itself has also undergone significant changes, with products becoming more intelligent and complex, posing new challenges for product design and manufacturing. The world is paying attention to this trend and seizing the technological high ground of intelligent manufacturing development. It is timely to focus on the new generation of intelligent manufacturing as the main direction.
Yu Haibin introduced that after ten years of building a strong manufacturing country, the proportion of digital transformation carried out by industrial enterprises above designated size in China has reached 89.6%, and the penetration rate of digital equipment has reached 57.7%. China has the most complete and comprehensive industrial system in the world, providing rich landing scenarios for empowering artificial intelligence.
Yu Haibin stated that the demand for intelligent manufacturing technology in the high-end equipment manufacturing industry is more urgent. For example, aircraft manufacturing requires high precision and efficiency, as well as engine manufacturing, large-scale shipbuilding, and the intelligent transformation and upgrading of traditional industries, all of which have urgent needs.
Currently, China is advancing in depth; Artificial Intelligence+Manufacturing; The special action has achieved a penetration rate of over 30% in the application of artificial intelligence technology in manufacturing enterprises above designated size, and has created over 500 high-quality datasets. The relevant department heads of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology introduced that the development of the new generation of intelligent manufacturing still needs to focus on improving the capabilities of high-quality data supply, high-value link application, and high-efficiency product conversion.
Li Li, Deputy Director of the Information Technology Development Department of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, introduced that currently, the manufacturing industry has accumulated a large amount of data, but the data directly available for artificial intelligence is still insufficient. We need to focus on data; Collecting, gathering, and utilizing; Build high-quality industrial datasets and transform industrial data into intelligent resources.
Ministry of Industry and Information Technology: Developing Industrial Large Models and Intelligent Agents to Accelerate Large Scale Promotion and Application
In addition, Li Li stated that the next step is to strengthen the supply of digital intelligence technology and products, and accelerate the large-scale application and promotion.
Li Li stated that deep implementation will be carried out; Artificial Intelligence+Software; Special actions to consolidate the foundation of intelligent software and hardware, accelerate the intelligent upgrading of industrial software and industrial Internet platforms, and develop industrial models and industrial agents. Promote the expansion of artificial intelligence from single point applications to the entire production process.
