China Ministry of Industry and Information Technology: Traditional industries are not a simple exit of “low-end industries” Promote the realization of old trees sprouting new sprouts

On July 5, at a series of press conferences on the theme of "Promoting High-Quality Development" held by the State Council Information Office, Vice Minister of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology Xin Guobin introduced that in the future, the key work of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will be to focus on accelerating the transformation and upgrading of traditional manufacturing industries. The implementation of the two documents "Guiding Opinions" and "Implementation Plan for Promoting Equipment Updating in the Industrial Sector" aims at high-end, intelligent, green and integrated directions, supports urban pilot projects for new technological transformation, and implements major technological transformation and upgrades in the manufacturing industry and large-scale Large-scale equipment renewal projects allow old trees in traditional industries to sprout new ones, making them an important carrier for the development of new productive forces.

Xin Guobin said that traditional industries are the foundation of the modern industrial system and the basic foundation for the development of my country's manufacturing industry. To promote its transformation and upgrading, it must not be simply withdrawn as a "low-end industry".

Specifically, Xin Guobin introduced that in terms of equipment updates, we will focus on key industries, adhere to marketization promotion and standardization guidance, implement integrated updates and upgrades of advanced equipment and software, and eliminate a number of inefficient and old equipment; in terms of process upgrades, we will continue to Promote industrial technological innovation, encourage key common technology research and industrial application demonstrations for traditional industries, strengthen the innovation and iteration of new technologies and new products, and strive to increase varieties, improve quality, and create brands; in terms of digital empowerment, in-depth implementation of manufacturing Digital transformation actions will accelerate the deep integration of digital technologies such as artificial intelligence, big data, cloud computing, and 5G with traditional industries, promote the application of smart equipment such as industrial robots and smart logistics, and support the construction of a number of smart factories, digital supply chains, and digital parks; In terms of green development, we will solidly promote energy-saving and carbon-reduction transformation in key industries, accelerate the upgrading of key energy-consuming equipment such as motors and boilers, expand the application of solid waste treatment and water-saving equipment, build a number of green factories, and actively develop green and low-carbon Industry; in terms of safety and security, accelerate the comprehensive technological transformation of old equipment in the petrochemical industry, "mechanize substitution, automation reduction, and robot substitution" in the civilian explosives industry, and increase the promotion and application of safety technology and equipment in the manufacturing industry , to improve the intrinsic safety level of enterprises.
