Undoubtedly, manufacturing upgrades will enhance the long-term pressure resistance of China's home appliance industry. Among them, smart manufacturing is one of the main directions for upgrading China's home appliance industry. After 40 years of development, China's home appliance industry is manufacturing scale, manufacturing capacity, and standardization. Levels, user resources and other aspects have accumulated a solid foundation, and already have the conditions to promote smart manufacturing. Today, China's home appliance industry has embarked on the road of upgrading from 'manufacturing' to 'intelligence'. Jiang Feng commented: ' Intelligent manufacturing brings not only the improvement of automation level to China's home appliance industry, but also the deep integration of informationization and industrialization, which creates the overall manufacturing level of the entire industry and the overall improvement of manufacturing efficiency. Promoting the transformation of the home appliance industry into intelligent manufacturing, shaping The competitive advantage of Chinese home appliances has important significance.
Speech by Jiang Feng, Chairman of China Household Electrical Appliances Association
'Looking for smart manufacturing pioneers in China's home appliance industry' The large-scale theme event aims to find typical cases in the process of home appliance manufacturing upgrade through visits to manufacturing companies, summarize and refine successful experiences, and explore feasible roads for China's manufacturing upgrades with enterprises and experts. According to Chen Li, editor-in-chief of "Electric Appliances" magazine, this event is a continuation of the "Large-looking theme of the Chinese home appliance industry craftsmanship" sponsored by "Electric Appliances" magazine.
