我国抓牢新一轮科技革命和产业变革的历史机遇，加快发展智能制造并取得了积极成效。也要注意到，我国智能制造整体发展仍处于初级阶段，不平衡不充分的矛盾较为突出，持续深入推进智能制造面临挑战。近年来，我国启动了从制造大国迈向制造强国的发展进程，加快制造业由大变强、全面创新升级的发展步伐，但升级的技术路线仍需更加明确。研究认为，新时期新阶段我国制造业要实现全面创新升级，应坚持智能制造发展的主攻方向，优化调整总体技术路线，即数字化制造、数字化网络化制造、数字化网络化智能化制造“并行推进、融合发展”；企业实施智能制造战略，应深度融合数字化网络化智能化赋能技术、先进制造技术，注重产品创新、生产创新、模式创新、制造系统集成创新，力争实现整体性突破。

Over the past few years, China has seized a historical opportunity to expedite the development of intelligent manufacturing driven by a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation. However, the overall development of China’s intelligent manufacturing is still in its infancy. Issues of the unbalanced and inadequate development of intelligent manufacturing remain prominent in China, which could pose great challenges to its future development. In the forthcoming era, China must focus on the comprehensive development of intelligent manufacturing in order to cultivate a manufacturing industry that is both large in scale and strong in its capabilities. The central technology theme is to promote parallel progress and integrated development of “digitalized manufacturing”, “digitalized and networked manufacturing”, and “digitalized, networked, and intelligent manufacturing.” It is essential to integrate digitalized, networked, and intelligent enabling technologies with advanced manufacturing technologies when adopting intelligent manufacturing. In the meantime, firms should search for comprehensive breakthroughs in products and process innovation as well as advances in business models and integrated manufacturing systems. Consequently, the development of intelligent manufacturing will facilitate the pioneering development and intelligent upgrading of manufacturing firms.
