A new era in manufacturing

'Made in China 2025' strategy leads to a spate of transformative technologies

The 19th China International Industry Fair held in Shanghai earlier this month confirmed for lay people what industry insiders knew for a while - that global corporate giants as well as domestic companies operating in China are resolutely digitalizing their factories, systems and processes as if their future depended on new technologies such as intelligent manufacturing powered by industrial cloud platform.

"Industrial cloud platform" refers to an automated manufacturing system that integrates advanced machines, internet-connected sensors and big data analytics. It boosts efficiency, productivity, quality and reliability of output, experts said.
