  [Editor's Note]In order to further promote the intelligent transformation, digital transformation, and network connection of the manufacturing industry in our province, and promote the deep integration of the real economy and the digital economy, the Jiangsu Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology recently took the lead in organizing professional forces to compile industry guidelines for the intelligent transformation, digital transformation, and network connection of the manufacturing industry in Jiangsu Province.

  It is reported that the preparation of sensors, third-generation semiconductors, auto parts, etc. has been completed this time.33Each industry implementation guide systematically sorts out the key links and application scenarios of modularization in each industry, extracts common needs and solutions that can be replicated and promoted, builds consensus on industry development, and effectively solves outstanding problems such as unclear direction and unclear paths in the implementation of smart transformation, digital transformation, and network connection. It provides important basis for grassroots diagnostic services and enterprises to promote digital transformation.

  Xinhua Daily·Junction News will launch a series of reports, continuous classified reports to interpret the implementation guidelines of relevant industries, and explore how Jiangsu can help enterprises accelerate the pace of equipment updates, process upgrades, digital empowerment, and model innovation, and promote “1650“The construction of the industrial system has reached a new level, so stay tuned.

  As the core area of ​​the country's strategic emerging industries, the large aircraft industry is the strategic commanding heights of global competition in the high-end equipment manufacturing industry. According to statistics, every investmentThe aviation industry output value of US$100 million will drive related industries to generate 800 million to 1.2 billionThe economic impact of the dollar.my country's large aircraft industry is undergoing a leapfrog development from technology introduction to independent innovation. It is expected that in the futureIn 20 years, there will be more than 40,000 new civilian passenger aircraft in the world, and my country's market demand is expected to account for 20%Above, the industry has broad prospects for development.

Jiangsu Province actively promotes central-local coordination and fully promotes the high-quality development of the aviation industry.2023Year5moon31On the same day, Jiangsu Province and COMAC signed a strategic cooperation agreement to focus on improving the research and development and testing capabilities of key systems of large aircraft, and are committed to achieving technological breakthroughs in core areas such as domestically produced large aircraft airborne systems.

At present, the province has built a complete aviation industry system, gathering more than400An aviation company with an industry scale exceeding 100 billion yuan. Nanjing, Suzhou, Wuxi, Zhenjiang and other places have formed a distinctive industrial agglomeration development pattern, and the East China Regional Promotion Office for Large Aircraft Scale has settled in Nanjing. As an important supplier base for COMAC, the number of suppliers in Jiangsu Province ranks among the top in the country, highlighting its key position in supporting the large aircraft industry.

As the foundation of the core components of aerospace engines, castings’ localization level directly affects the integrity and collaborative efficiency of the large aircraft industry chain. Jiangsu Province has particularly outstanding advantages in the field of precision casting of large aircraft aero-engine parts. The province has276silica sol investment casting companies, including141As a regulated enterprise, the company has built a complete regional industrial chain supporting system.

Data shows that COMAC2024The annual purchase amount is nearly200billion,2025expected annual growth70%the installed demand for large aircraft castings will surge accordingly. In view of the fact that the qualification training cycle for large aircraft casting enterprises lasts for about ten years, Jiangsu Province has seized the industry opportunities, accelerated its layout, supported local foundry enterprises to integrate into the large aircraft manufacturing industry chain, and seized the commanding heights of industrial development.

In this context, “intelligent transformation to digital transformation and network connection” in the large aircraft parts precision casting industry is particularly important. At present, relevant enterprises in Jiangsu are showing a polarization trend in terms of intelligence, digitalization and network level——

With their strong financial and technical strength, large enterprises have invested more than 100 million yuan in the construction of intelligent transformation, digital transformation and network connection. They have built relatively complete information management systems. In the future, they will move towards higher-level goals such as in-depth data mining, intelligent upgrades, and independent control of core software.

Private enterprises with smaller production scales are mostly in the early stages of development and mainly undertake trial production of parts and components or small batch production tasks, and their production line utilization rate is insufficient.50%. Its digital applications are mainly concentrated in process research and development and product testing. Some companies rely on the scientific research power of universities to independently develop digital technologies. Although they have initially established the foundation for intelligent transformation, digital transformation and network connection, they are limited by scale and funds. The current construction needs are not urgent and need to be gradually improved with the development of the industry.

To this end, our province has issued the “Jiangsu Province Large Aircraft Parts Precision Casting Industry Intelligent Transformation, Digital Transformation and Network Connection Implementation Guide” (hereinafter referred to as the “Guide”), which is based on the current status of the industry's intelligent transformation, digital transformation and network connection development, focusing on key aspects of the product life cycle, including factory construction, process design, quality control, planning and scheduling, production operations, warehousing and logistics, equipment management, safety Management and control, energy management and environmental protection control, etc., by analyzing the existing problems in the construction of intelligent transformation, digital transformation and network connection, selecting scenarios and solutions that can be transformed, supplemented by typical scenario cases, proposing system architecture design, implementation path planning suggestions and listing excellent corporate practice cases, aiming to guide enterprises to promote the construction of intelligent transformation, digital transformation and network connection, and help the high-quality development of the large aircraft parts precision casting industry in Jiangsu Province.

The “Guide” proposes an overall framework for the implementation of the intelligent digital transformation and network connection system for the large aircraft parts precision casting industry in Jiangsu Province, covering key links such as factory construction, process design, quality control, planning and scheduling, production operations, warehousing and logistics, equipment management, safety control, energy management, and environmental protection control. Based on digitalization and relying on carriers such as manufacturing units, workshops and factories, we will deepen the integration and application of new generation information technology and industry, and create an intelligent manufacturing system that blends reality and reality, is knowledge-driven, dynamically optimized, safe and reliable.

Based on the industry development foundation and market trends, the “Guide” sets industry2027Quantitative goal at the end of the year: increase the equipment digitization rate to40%the device networking rate reaches30%; Intelligent factory construction has achieved step-by-step development, with the proportion of basic-level, standard-level, advanced-level and above smart factories reaching65%,25%and10%. Driven by continuous innovation, we will build a new model of intelligent, digital, and networked production, comprehensively enhance the comprehensive competitiveness of the industry, cultivate new business formats and new models, and stimulate new momentum for industrial development.
