21世纪以来,欧美等发达国家和地区加快发展先进制造业，以美国“工业互联网”与德国“工业4.0”最为典型。“工业互联网”与“工业4.0”引起了全球制造业的产品开发、生产模式和制造价值实现方式的转变。为了巩固与提升中国制造业的全球地位，加快从制造大国迈向制造强国，必须要推进“两化”深度融合、坚持创新驱动、强化智能制造基础、重视高技能人才培养、加强制造业国际合作。

Since twenty-first century, most of the developed countries have realized the importance of advanced manufacturing. “Industrial Internet” from the U.S. and “Industrie 4.0” from Germany should be the best two strategies to develop advanced manufacturing. They have caused the transformation of product development, production mode, and the achievement of the production value, globally. In this critical moment, it is important to promote the integration of informatization and industrialization, to insist on innovation driven, to strengthen the intelligent manufacturing base, to consolidate the training of high skilled talents, and to strengthen international cooperation for consolidating and enhancing the global status of China manufacturing.
