A friend who works in a university recently purchased jerseys and cheering props with the department logo online for teachers and students in preparation for the school's autumn sports meet. After the design proposal was finalized, we received the product the next day, which not only had excellent quality but also affordable prices. My friend sighed and said that the efficient delivery of customized products makes people feel the amazing efficiency of Chinese manufacturing firsthand. Under the background of empowering Chinese manufacturing with digital technology, it is no longer difficult to meet the personalized needs of "quick response for small orders" and "minimum order quantity". Recently, at a symposium for economic situation experts and entrepreneurs chaired by Premier Li Qiang, a young face attracted much attention - he is Zhou Yuxiang, the founder and CEO of Shanghai Heihu Technology Co., Ltd. As a representative of the industrial software field, Zhou Yuxiang has led enterprises to launch three industrial software products, helping tens of thousands of manufacturing enterprises achieve digital transformation and transformation, greatly improving the production efficiency and profitability of small and medium-sized enterprises, and becoming a dynamic epitome of China's manufacturing transformation and upgrading. Turn the clock back to ten years ago. At that time, China was already the world's largest manufacturing country in terms of scale, but many Chinese people still chose to bring back products such as rice cookers and smart toilet seats from overseas, reflecting the shortcomings of China's manufacturing industry at that time. Today, from the "old three" of clothing, furniture, and home appliances to the "new three" of new energy vehicles, lithium batteries, and photovoltaic products, Made in China has become a shining business card, meeting the new expectations of the domestic people for a better life and winning a good reputation in the international market with its excellent quality. This kind of butterfly transformation originates from the top-level design of science. The development of manufacturing industry will inevitably go through an upgrading process from "whether there is" to "whether it is excellent or not". We have deeply grasped the laws and trends of industrial development, actively responded to the people's new expectations for a better life, and successively issued policy documents such as the Intelligent Manufacturing Development Plan (2016-2020), the 14th Five Year Plan for Intelligent Manufacturing Development, and the Action Plan for Industrial Internet Innovation and Development (2021-2023). We have vigorously promoted new production methods such as flexible manufacturing, agile manufacturing, and shared manufacturing, deepened the integrated development of the new generation of information technology and manufacturing, accelerated the restructuring of the industrial chain structure, processes, and modes, and led manufacturing in China to continue to leap in the direction of "big and strong". This kind of butterfly transformation originates from a solid manufacturing foundation. The transformation of Chinese manufacturing is not starting from scratch, but is built on a solid foundation accumulated over decades. China has all 41 industrial categories, 207 subcategories, and 666 subcategories listed in the United Nations Industrial Classification, making it the only country in the world with a complete industrial system. This means that almost all the components, raw materials, etc. required by any factory during the transformation process can be found in domestic suppliers. Especially in recent years, with the rapid development and widespread adoption of new generation information technologies such as big data, cloud computing, the Internet of Things, and 5G, the digital transformation of traditional manufacturing has received solid support. Data shows that at present, the installed capacity of industrial robots in China accounts for more than 50% of the world's total, the industrial Internet has achieved full coverage of industrial categories, and the popularity of digital R&D and design tools of key industrial enterprises and the rate of numerical control of key processes are rising. This kind of transformation stems more from the relentless exploration of entrepreneurs. Any change relies on human subjective initiative, especially in stimulating entrepreneurial spirit. As mentioned earlier, Zhou Yuxiang personally went to work at a manufacturing factory in Jiangsu during the early stages of his entrepreneurship, where he ate, lived, and worked alongside frontline workers. He gained a deep understanding of the real situation of the entire production process, from orders, materials, processes to equipment status, and accumulated practical experience for optimizing industrial software design. It is precisely countless entrepreneurs like him who bravely venture into the unknown and constantly try and make mistakes that have truly driven the digital transformation of the manufacturing industry, effectively solved the pain points and difficulties in the production process, and achieved batches of "lighthouse factories" and "hidden champions". Smart 'timely rain', urging the creation of 'full courtyard fragrance'. From "large quantity and competitive price" to "fast and agile", today's Chinese manufacturing ecosystem is no longer a passive executor of orders, but can participate more deeply in the innovation process of product definition and rapid iteration. We are delighted to see that many manufacturing companies have been able to "fly faster" and more efficiently than similar enterprises after inserting "digital wings". Under the competitive mechanism of the market, the entire foundation of Chinese manufacturing has radiated a cluster like agility - this is a vivid picture of China's manufacturing moving towards high-quality development.
