On January 13, the World Economic Forum (WEF) released the latest list of "lighthouse factories". "Lighthouse Factory", selected by the World Economic Forum and McKinsey Company, is not only the leader of industry 4.0 of global manufacturing enterprises, but also the model of digital transformation. This year, a total of 18 factories in the world have been rated as "lighthouse factories", of which 8 are from China. So far, there are 132 "lighthouse factories" in the world, of which 50 are located in China, ranking first in the world. Behind the rapid growth of the number of
"lighthouse factories", China's manufacturing industry is experiencing a "digital butterfly change". We can look at it from the following three perspectives:
First, the national strategic level is pushing the manufacturing industry into the digital age . In recent years, the digital transformation of manufacturing industry has become the focus of national strategy. Since 2017, the development of digital economy and the promotion of the deep integration of Internet, big data, artificial intelligence and real economy have become the focus of China's manufacturing industry in the future. Just in the second year, the "Lighthouse Factory" selection project was launched. China accounted for three of the first nine selected lighthouse factories. The digital transformation of manufacturing industry has played a driving role in the development of industrial chain integration, and is also an important grasp for China to enhance the independent and controllable ability of industrial chain and supply chain.
Second, the advantages of digital transformation provide more competitive advantages for enterprises. With the increasing complexity of technology, the traditional industrial model has been unable to meet the requirements of future manufacturing industry, and the combination of digital technology and traditional production capacity can greatly reduce costs and improve the profit margin of enterprises. According to McKinsey, "lighthouse factories" successfully integrated with digital technology have increased productivity by more than 250% on average and reduced carbon dioxide emissions by more than 97%. Its essence is that digital technology continuously releases value in the industrial chain, promotes the transformation and upgrading of manufacturing industry, improves the production efficiency of enterprises and reduces costs.
Third, the integration of number and reality brings new market opportunities and new industrial momentum. China has a huge domestic demand market, and the rapid development of the digital economy not only stimulates the demand of the existing market, but also drives technological innovation and the vigorous development of the digital industry. In recent years, China has been talking about "digital-real integration", using digital technology and data elements to empower traditional industries and inject vitality into the high-quality development of China's economy. At present, the development of China's digital economy should not only speed up innovation and enhance the influence of Chinese patents, but also speed up the integration of digital and real, and give full play to the amplification, superposition and multiplication of information technology on manufacturing industry.
Over the past decade, China has made great achievements in implementing the digital transformation of manufacturing industry. Today, with the advent of the era of intellectualization, digital transformation is not a "choice question" for the cement industry, but a "compulsory course" for the long-term development of enterprises. The development of China's cement industry has gradually entered a stage of high-quality development from a period of rapid growth, and the competition among enterprises will gradually shift from external market competition to internal cost competition. Digitalization and intellectualization are not only the only way to promote the upgrading of cement industry, but also the key link to the survival of enterprises. Accelerating the transformation of digitalization and intellectualization and seizing the commanding heights of development have become the consensus of the cement industry.
At present, Conch Cement , Southern Cement , Zhonglian Cement and other leading enterprises are accelerating the pace of digital and intelligent transformation. Thanks to the promotion of policies and the leading role of large enterprises, the cement industry is increasingly aware of the importance of digital and intelligent technology in integrating enterprise resources and enhancing market competitiveness. The earlier the layout of digital and intelligent track, the greater the market competitive advantage the cement enterprises will have. The construction of digitalization and intellectualization is a long-term and gradual process. How to truly realize the digitalization and intellectualization of the cement industry, connect the intelligent forces of enterprises, links and elements into a line, converge into a surface, gather forces, promote fission, and ultimately form a new driving force, new potential energy and new wave for the development of the whole industry is still a big challenge.
In order to further promote the digital and intelligent development of cement industry, help cement enterprises master intelligent technology, accelerate the integration of industry and advanced information technology, and realize the "butterfly change" of the industry, China Cement Network will be launched on April 24-25, 2023. The "China Cement Industry Green Development Summit Forum and Ultra-clean Emission Technology Exchange Conference" and the "Fourth China Cement Intelligent Summit Forum" were held in Changsha, Hunan Province, inviting industry experts, cement and related enterprises. Jointly promote the high-quality development of the cement industry!
