The seven departments jointly issued a plan to deploy equipment renewal and technological transformation in the industrial field

　　Data released by the National Bureau of Statistics on April 27 showed that in the first quarter, the profits of industrial enterprises above designated size increased by 4.3% year-on-year. The profits of industrial enterprises above designated size have increased for three consecutive quarters, continuing the recovery trend.

　　Recently, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and other seven departments jointly issued the "Implementation Plan for Promoting the Renewal of Equipment in the Industrial Field" to further promote the renewal of equipment and technological transformation in the industrial field. Promoting large-scale equipment renewal in the industrial field is conducive to expanding effective investment and promoting the continuous increase in the proportion of advanced production capacity, which is of great significance to accelerating the construction of a modern industrial system.

　　Equipment renewal can not only promote consumption and investment, but also increase advanced production capacity, promote energy conservation and carbon reduction, and reduce potential safety hazards

　　At present, the stock assets of industrial equipment in mainland China are about 28 trillion yuan. The number of industrial robots accounts for 1/3 of the world, the installed capacity of new energy equipment such as wind power and photovoltaic has ranked first in the world for many years, the number of home appliances exceeds 3 billion, and the number of cars exceeds 300 million. Large-scale equipment renewal has a large space and full potential, which will provide strong support for the development of new quality productivity.

　　For example, the mainland has about 3.27 billion kilowatts of electric motors, with an annual electricity consumption of more than 4.5 trillion kilowatt hours, accounting for 75% of industrial electricity consumption, and about 17 million power transformers in operation on the grid, with a total capacity of about 11 billion kilovolt amperes and an annual power consumption of about 250 billion kilowatt hours.

　　In order to promote the large-scale renewal and technological transformation of energy-using equipment such as motors and transformers, promote the production and application of advanced equipment, and continuously improve the level of energy efficiency, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and other departments have implemented the motor energy efficiency improvement plan and the transformer energy efficiency improvement plan in the past three years.

　　Statistics show that from 2021 to 2023, the output of high-efficiency and energy-saving motors in the country will increase steadily, with 92 million kilowatts, 167 million kilowatts, and 179 million kilowatts respectively, accounting for 39%, 72%, and 73% of the annual output of motors, respectively. The national output of high-efficiency and energy-saving transformers is 163 million kVA, 435 million kVA and 784 million kVA respectively, accounting for 15%, 42% and 75% of the annual output of power transformers.

　　"As of 2023, the proportion of high-efficiency and energy-saving motors in service and high-efficiency and energy-saving transformers operating on the grid will reach 20.2% and 13.4% respectively, an increase of 12.9 percentage points and 11 percentage points respectively compared with 2020. The relevant person in charge of the Department of Energy Conservation and Comprehensive Utilization of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology said that the level of energy efficiency continued to improve, and the cumulative annual power saving was 62.7 billion kilowatt hours, which is equivalent to saving 19 million tons of standard coal and reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 36 million tons.

　　"Relevant institutions estimate that the mainland's annual demand for equipment investment and renewal in key areas such as industry and agriculture is more than 5 trillion yuan, and the demand for automobiles and home appliances is also at the level of more than one trillion yuan. Zhao Chenxin, deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission, said that promoting the renewal of equipment in the industrial field can not only promote consumption, stimulate investment, and effectively enhance economic vitality, but also increase advanced production capacity, promote energy conservation and carbon reduction, reduce potential safety hazards, and achieve high-quality development.

　　Carry out four major actions: advanced equipment update, digital transformation, green equipment promotion, and safety level improvement

　　The plan will focus on promoting new industrialization, taking large-scale equipment renewal as the starting point, and implementing technological transformation and upgrading projects in the manufacturing industry. Shan Zhongde, vice minister of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said that four major actions will be carried out: advanced equipment renewal, digital transformation, green equipment promotion, and safety level improvement, and by 2027, the scale of equipment investment in the industrial field will increase by more than 25% compared with 2023. By 2027, the penetration rate of digital R&D and design tools in industrial enterprises above designated size will reach more than 90%, and the numerical control rate of key processes will reach more than 75%.

　　The plan is clear, for the industry where the production equipment is at a low level as a whole, accelerate the elimination of backward and inefficient equipment and old equipment that has been in service for a long time. For aviation, photovoltaic, power battery, biological fermentation and other production equipment in the overall high level of the industry, encourage enterprises to update a number of high-tech, high-efficiency, high-reliability advanced equipment.

　　The plan proposes to provide diversified supply and services by relying on the market to provide diversified supply and services in combination with the differentiated needs of various types of equipment in the industrial field. Taking into account the development of the industry and the actual market, it will be carried out in an orderly and orderly manner. Actively promote the new generation of information technology to empower new industrialization, while promoting the update of hardware equipment, pay attention to the iterative upgrading and innovative application of software systems.

　　According to reports, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will work with relevant departments to implement support policies and measures such as central investment, tax incentives, and special re-loans, increase fiscal, tax and financial support, strengthen standard guidance, strengthen factor guarantees, establish a collaborative working mechanism, and accelerate the implementation of equipment updates in the industrial field.

　　Promote the application of a number of intelligent manufacturing equipment, continue to increase the construction of digital infrastructure, and accelerate the construction of a number of smart factories.

　　In the plan, promoting the renewal of digital and intelligent equipment and technological transformation is a major focus. "Promote digital transformation with the integration of 'point, line and surface': create a benchmark for digital and intelligent transformation at the 'point', promote the digital collaborative transformation of key industrial chains at the 'line', and promote the digital upgrading of key industrial clusters and key parks at the 'surface'. Shan Zhongde introduced that the following important work will be done -

　　Promote the application of a number of intelligent manufacturing equipment. At present, the industrial scale of intelligent manufacturing equipment in mainland China has reached more than 3.2 trillion yuan, and the density of manufacturing robots has reached 392 per 10,000 workers. In the next step, we will promote the application of general intelligent manufacturing equipment such as CNC machine tools, additive manufacturing, robots, and intelligent logistics, accelerate the digital and intelligent transformation of production operations, warehousing and logistics, quality control and other links, and promote the integration and update of industrial software and industrial control systems.

　　We will continue to increase the construction of digital infrastructure. By the end of last year, 3.38 million 5G base stations had been built in mainland China, and the "5G + Industrial Internet" application covered 41 industrial categories. Subsequently, industrial enterprises will be encouraged to transform their intranets and extranets, accelerate the deployment of industrial edge data centers, and promote the coordinated development of "cloud-edge-end" computing power. Increase the supply of high-performance intelligent computing, and build intelligent computing centers in computing hub nodes. In particular, large enterprise groups and industrial parks are encouraged to establish industrial Internet platforms with their own characteristics.

　　Accelerate the construction of a number of smart factories. By the end of last year, the mainland had cultivated 421 national-level intelligent manufacturing demonstration factories, driving the construction of more than 10,000 digital workshops and smart factories in various places. In the next step, we will promote the deep integration of digital technology, information technology, and intelligent technology with the manufacturing industry, and promote the networking of equipment and the digital link of the whole process of production. Give full play to the exemplary role of leading enterprises in digital transformation, and drive upstream and downstream enterprises to carry out digital transformation.
