A few days ago, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued the Fourteenth Five-Year Plan for the Development of Intensive Integration of Informatization and Industrialization to accelerate the digital transformation of the manufacturing industry.

The plan adopts a combination of quantitative and qualitative goals, and puts forward the overall goal of the integrated development of industrialization and industrialization in 2025 and five sub-objectives. 

In terms of overall goals, by 2025, informatization and industrialization will achieve integrated development at a wider, deeper, and higher level, and a new generation of information technology will accelerate its penetration into various fields of manufacturing.

The plan puts forward five main tasks: cultivating new products, new models and new business formats; promoting digital transformation of various industries, consolidating information infrastructure, stimulating vitality of enterprises, and fostering cross-industry integration.

Since the launch of 5G E-Town in 2019, the Beijing Economic-Technological Development Area (BDA) has taken the lead in achieving full coverage of 5G networks in Beijing. 

Currently, 1,374 5G base stations have been built and opened in an area totaling 60 square kilometers, with a base station density of 22.9 per square kilometer.

With the support of the new infrastructure, intelligent manufacturing projects in the BDA have sprung up. 

With the construction of 5G networks, China Mobile, China Unicom, and China Telecom have reached hundreds of 5G service agreements with many industrial companies in the region so far.

"Black light factories" such as Xiaomi and E-Town Water have been born, and the Beijing Benz 5G smart factory, JD 5G intelligent unmanned warehouse, Schneider Electric 5G innovation laboratory and other projects have been promoted.

Since the implementation of the Smart Manufacturing 100 project in Beijing, the review has announced 65 smart manufacturing benchmarking enterprises, of which 21 are in the BDA, including Beijing Benz, BOE, SMC, Yaskawa Shougang, SMIC, Bosch Rexroth, TPV and other companies.
