Exploring the Thirteenth Five-Year Plan: New Quests for Manufacturing

Faced with the upcoming "13th Five-Year Plan" and the strategic blueprint of "Made in China 2025", Dr. Li Yaoxin, director of Shanghai Municipal Commission of Economy and Information Technology, accepted an exclusive interview with "CEConline" and introduced the progress of Shanghai's manufacturing industry. Exploration experience and future ideas in technological innovation and intelligent manufacturing.

Technology Innovation: Reengineering Manufacturing

CEConline: Looking forward to the "13th Five-Year Plan", what role will Shanghai's manufacturing industry play?

Li Yaoxin: When we think about the positioning of the manufacturing industry, especially the role of a super-large city like Shanghai, we first focus on the strategic goal of building a technology innovation center with global influence. This is not only General Secretary Xi Jinping's ardent hope for Shanghai, but also the "No. 1 topic" of the Shanghai Municipal Committee this year. According to the division of labor, our committee has undertaken a number of tasks related to industrial development and informatization construction under this topic.

And this year also coincides with the planning year. From the central to local governments, a series of overall and special plans represented by the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" are being prepared intensively, which gives us a Opportunity to rediscover and rethink the role of manufacturing.

The financial crisis sweeping across the world has had a huge impact on the developed countries with hollowed out manufacturing industries, which made them adopt re-industrialization strategies one after another after the crisis. At the same time, a new technological revolution and industrial revolution are coming, and the competition among countries to compete for the commanding heights of future technological innovation has been in full swing. Among them, the development model based on or based on manufacturing, such as Germany's "Industry 4.0" ”, which also brought us many important lessons.

Shanghai has experienced a tortuous exploration process for the positioning of the manufacturing industry. The priorities for the development of the primary, secondary and tertiary industries have changed many times: after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Shanghai, as an old industrial base, obeyed the national strategy, and the industrial development has always maintained a two-three-one structure; With the in-depth development of reform and opening up, Shanghai's secondary and tertiary industries have been transformed together; in the "Eighth Five-Year Plan", "Ninth Five-Year Plan" and "Tenth Five-Year Plan", the industrial development sequence has been adjusted to 321; During the Eleventh Five-Year Plan and the Twelfth Five-Year Plan, the leading role of the service economy has been further highlighted, and the status of the tertiary industry (service industry) has risen significantly.

In recent years, both the growth rate and the proportion of the tertiary industry have surpassed the secondary industry, so there is a question: Do mega cities with developed service industries like Shanghai still need manufacturing? In fact, in the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan", we began to implement the strategy of high-end, intensive, service-oriented and industrial integration to explore the new positioning of the manufacturing industry. The experience of these years, combined with the background of the times and the national strategy, have made us more soberly aware that the manufacturing industry in Shanghai is not only indispensable, but also has great potential.

Manufacturing not only plays a main role in urban economic development, employment and other fields, but also usually has a long industrial chain. Through industrial integration, many new products and services can be derived, forming new fine By industry and value chain. Especially in the process of building a scientific and technological innovation center, the role of the manufacturing industry is even more indispensable. From cultivating innovation soil to carrying high-end elements, it is the most important department for R&D activities. We will seize the opportunity of technological industry transformation, use the "Internet +" thinking, re-engineer the manufacturing industry, and ensure the development potential and continuous momentum of the construction of the science and technology innovation center.

Four New Economies: Cultivating New Vitality

CEConline: After the Central Economic Work Conference put forward the concept of Four New Economies, what experience has Shanghai gained in exploring the Four New Economies?

Li Yaoxin: During the construction of the Science and Technology Innovation Center, we truly felt that to complete the industrial upgrading and transformation and realize the reconstruction of the manufacturing industry, we must find new impetus and inject new vitality. The four new economies represented by new models and new formats are the best choice. Nearly 40 four new economic fields have emerged in Shanghai from bottom to top, including robotics, supply chain management and services, commodity trading, Internet finance, digital content, and remanufacturing. It is characterized by strong permeability and integration, high dependence on the basic environment, light assets, high growth, dynamic changes, and cross-border integration.

The four new economies are very different from the strategic emerging industries that you often hear: the strategic emerging industries represent the industry development direction determined by the top-down government-led will; The economy is represented by bottom-up market demand and grassroots economy.

Because of this, the original planning method and management system cannot be used in the cultivation of the four new economies. Our experience is that no top-level planning, no distinction between traditional and modern, and no statistical regulations are required in the promotion process. Caliber, not locked in scope and development content, not fixed in advance mode and method.

So how did the four new economies come into being? The first is to give full play to the innovative vitality of small, medium and micro enterprises. There are more than 1,500 "specialized, refined and new" small and medium-sized enterprises in Shanghai, covering more than ten industries from manufacturing to service. There are not only emerging formats such as service-based intelligent manufacturing, green intelligent manufacturing, and intelligent manufacturing, but also the upgrading of traditional industries. , embodying the representative of the new business model, they are the fertile ground for the four new economies.

Four new economies will be cultivated through the transformation of excellent entrepreneurial projects, recommendations in smart city construction, and spillover effects from military-civilian integration. For example, Shanghai has a smart lighting street light product called Prona, which stands out from the construction of smart cities. It can integrate camera probes, micro base stations, multimedia screens, billboards, LED lighting, and solar photovoltaics into one, not only powerful , and beautiful design, won the 2015 German Red Dot Design Award.

Creating an environment suitable for the development of the four new economies has always been the top priority of our work. We promote and encourage units in different industries and fields with industrial chain connections, complementary technologies, and sharing in the market to establish industrial innovation alliances. The members include industrial enterprises, information enterprises and scientific research institutes. Mobile Internet, smart parks and other fields.

By sharing resources, industry alliance members can effectively break down industry barriers, open up upstream and downstream industry chains, and cooperate in technological innovation, industry exchanges, and promotion of industrial applications. Prona street light is the result of cross-border innovation of "Smart Lighting Industry Innovation Alliance".

Industry alliances that aim to build open innovation platforms are usually based on new technologies and models such as big data, crowdsourcing, and crowdfunding, and have made gratifying breakthroughs in integrating fragmented resources, promoting Integrated innovations such as distributed photovoltaic power generation and inspection and testing platforms make intelligent design, manufacturing, and service an integrated trend.

In addition, the construction of the public service platform is also an effective measure to support the development of the four new economies through informatization. In the fields of R&D and design, inspection and testing, standard certification, professional maintenance, energy conservation and environmental protection, we have established and promoted embedded system R&D and design, Internet of Things industrial application technology services, fashion industry informatization comprehensive services, human resource management informatization, etc. It is a professional public service platform with strong professionalism and distinctive characteristics, which provides various common resources and services for small and medium-sized enterprises, effectively reducing the construction cost of enterprise informatization. For example, with the "Pudong Soft Cloud" platform provided by Pudong Software Park, small and micro start-ups can rely on the park's cloud platform to start their own businesses without IT investment.

Our next work is to improve the six-in-one model of "Industrial Internet + Industrial Alliance + Industrial Base + Industrial Fund + Industrial Finance + Industrial Talent Base", and create a natural four-new economic tropical rainforest ecosystem . Change the phenomenon of single innovation, promote the in-depth development of cooperation within the ecosystem, and promote equity cooperation, industrial chain supply chain linkage, and value chain value-added chain sharing.

Intelligent Manufacturing: Building New Strength

CEConline: Facing the strategic blueprint of "Made in China 2025", what will Shanghai do in promoting the deep integration of industrialization and intelligent manufacturing? Action?

Li Yaoxin: For China's manufacturing industry, "Made in China 2025" is undoubtedly the most important long-term plan representing the national strategy. Together with the "13th Five-Year Plan", it is exactly one long and one short, which together outlines the manufacturing industry. A blueprint for business development.

The 10 major fields mentioned in "Made in China 2025" have a high degree of overlap with major innovation projects in Shanghai's manufacturing industry. Navigation, high-end ships and other fields already have a good industrial foundation and first-mover advantage. This is not only the direction of the country, but also the way out for Shanghai. Under the leadership of the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, we are actively carrying out research work to serve the national strategy and connect with the national plan.

At this stage, carrying out pilot demonstrations of intelligent manufacturing is a key starting point for promoting the implementation of "Made in China 2025", and it is also the entry point and main direction for the deep integration of industrialization and informatization. Focusing on the development direction of the "Made in China 2025 Planning Outline", we will actively undertake a number of major projects in intelligent manufacturing that are world-leading, nationally needed, and Shanghai has an advantage, so as to build a new future-oriented manufacturing capability.

Combined with the "13th Five-Year Plan" research, Shanghai will focus on key areas such as industrial robots and service robots, high-end CNC machine tools, 3D printing, intelligent integrated services, intelligent control systems, sensors and intelligent instrumentation, etc. Invite enterprises, industry associations, industry alliances, scientific research institutes, colleges and institutions to participate in the industrial development discussion, and formulate industry-related plans for key areas of intelligent manufacturing in Shanghai.

We will focus on intelligent manufacturing, research and optimize the breakthrough support policy for the first (set) of high-end intelligent equipment in Shanghai, continue to implement the first set of demonstration application projects, and continue to increase the awareness of robot-based intelligent equipment. For example, we encourage enterprises to benchmark "Industry 4.0", promote the deep integration of industrialization and industrialization, and build 5 robot demonstration application production lines every year.

Although intelligent manufacturing has a high threshold in terms of capital, technology and management, most of the large enterprises are currently qualified to carry out demonstrations, but this does not mean that small and medium-sized enterprises can only watch on the sidelines. Many leaders in the field of intelligent manufacturing in Shanghai are small and medium-sized private enterprises. For example, an auto parts company has carried out the automatic production integration of ERP and inspection system, established a multi-functional flexible production line with fully automatic process, realized the mixed production of different types of products, and increased the production efficiency by more than 40%.

But in terms of manufacturing development, Shanghai faces the same problems as many eastern coastal cities, that is, rigid constraints in terms of land, resources, environment, population, etc., and the problem of rigid constraints is particularly prominent in Shanghai. . Therefore, it is necessary to support the superior and eliminate the inferior at the same time. While cultivating new vitality and building new strength, we must also eliminate backward production capacity. As early as the 1980s, Shanghai began its major industrial adjustment, led by steel and textiles, and subsequent adjustments were still carried out around the national strategy and Shanghai's positioning.

Adjustment comes at a price. Last year, we adjusted nearly 650 related industrial projects, and lost 18 billion yuan in industrial output value at once. If we add in the transfer of production capacity, the industrial output value adjusted last year will be lost. The output value is as high as 88 billion yuan. However, our adjustment plan for this year is even higher. It is 1,000 projects. We will resolutely eliminate backward, low-end and excess capacity with the spirit of a strong man breaking his wrist.

This adjustment is very different from the previous "shut down and turn" and "free the cage for the bird". The first is to achieve this through institutional innovation, that is, to formulate industrial structure adjustment standards such as energy efficiency, environmental protection, safety, and quality, and to adjust backward and low-end production capacity in accordance with laws and regulations.

In addition, it is necessary to seize the opportunity of the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" and strive to integrate industrial adjustment planning into economic and social development planning, urban and rural planning, land use planning, and ecological environmental protection planning, so as to achieve more Uniformity.

More importantly, grasp the four integration trends of Shanghai's industrial development: the integration of manufacturing and service industries, the integration of industrialization and informatization, the integration of informatization and urbanization, and the integration of industry and city. fusion. Conform to these four trends of integration, and promote the structural adjustment, layout optimization and energy level improvement of the manufacturing industry.
