"When business is getting harder and harder" from a simple complaint to a mantra for factory owners, digital transformation has become an inevitable choice for enterprises to break through the anxiety of reality.
Although "difficult to transform" and "will not turn" are still the most mentioned practical problems in manufacturing enterprises, it has become the consensus of all walks of life to achieve cost reduction and efficiency through digitalization, networking and intelligent means, and to build core competitiveness. At the same time, the growing local digital service providers are also constantly seeking a way to break through, in the field of industrial Internet where there is no "operation" to copy, a large number of startups with independent core technologies are growing into the backbone of the industry.
Looking back on 2021, Dadong Times Think Tank (TD) practiced the concept of "data comes from practice", visited more than 600 manufacturing and software companies, including Midea, Gree, GAC, SAIC, etc., which have revenues of more than 100 billion yuan, as well as start-ups with revenues of less than 1 million yuan, no matter what level of revenue scale, TD deeply feels that everyone is participating in the wave of digital transformation and actively exploring direction and value.
In 2022, the digital transformation of the manufacturing industry has entered a new stage of development, and the "14th Five-Year Plan" digital economy development plan is clear, by 2025, the added value of the core industries of the digital economy will account for 10% of the gdp, and it is proposed to accelerate the construction of the digital economy, digital society, and digital government, and drive the transformation of production methods, lifestyles and governance methods as a whole with digital transformation.
Driven by policies and the macro environment, entrepreneurs have high expectations for digital transformation. However, at present, enterprise digital applications are still "shallow", and most enterprises are not digitally deployed enough. In addition, digital transformation involves the whole enterprise, not only the transformation and upgrading of technology, but also the optimization of business systems, the transformation of concepts, the innovation of models, and the upgrading of capabilities.
How to use digitalization to help improve production efficiency and reduce production costs, from manufacturing upgrades to intelligent manufacturing; such as the use of digital to "reconstruct" the traditional business, management, business and service models, and data as the core production factor to focus on business models and platform operations and other issues need to be solved urgently.
Digital transformation is not achieved overnight, industry problems are not a matter of one enterprise, all enterprises need to work together to build a digital ecosystem, break the closed loop of industry information, through open, win-win cooperation, build a bridge of in-depth exchange between upstream and downstream industrial chains, and accelerate the digital transformation and upgrading of Chinese manufacturing enterprises.
In this context, on May 18, 2022, Dadong Times Think Tank (TD) will hold the "2022 China Manufacturing Digital Transformation Summit". With the theme of "Breaking through the Barriers and Attacking and Defending the Way", the summit is committed to providing a high-level and efficient dialogue platform for manufacturing enterprises and industry experts, strengthening mutual connections, enhancing mutual understanding, focusing on the forefront of the industry and current hot spots in the context of globalization, leading the digital transformation of the industry, and promoting the sustained, healthy and steady development and progress of Chinese manufacturing enterprises.
As an annual selection activity focusing on technological innovation, program innovation and brand innovation in the digital ecosystem of the manufacturing industry, Dadong Times Think Tank (TD) is committed to making exemplary promotions for enterprises that have made outstanding contributions to the digitalization of China's manufacturing industry, discovering innovative enterprises with development potential in the industry, and promoting the overall development of the industry.
