Constraints and Suggestions on Digital and Intelligent Transformation of Advanced Manufacturing Industry in Guangdong Province

Abstract

Economists have pointed out that "we should insist on placing the focus of the development of the economy on the real economy, deeply promote the new type of industrialization, strengthen the re-creation of the industrial base and the major technology and equipment Tackling, promoting the development of high-end, intelligent and green manufacturing industry, accelerating the construction of manufacturing province, vigorously develop strategic emerging industries, and accelerate the development of digital economy." This report takes the manufacturing powerhouse of Guangdong Province as a case study to examine the current state of its advanced manufacturing industry's digital transformation and to conduct an in-depth investigation and analysis of the constraints hindering this transformation. The findings of the research indicate that Guangdong Province's advanced manufacturing industry currently faces two major challenges: a strong reliance on external technologies for key innovations and a shortage of skilled personnel. On one hand, the government should increase support for green loans to provide financial backing for technological research and development, establish a shared intelligent technology platform for small and medium-sized advanced manufacturing enterprises to access technical assistance, and develop a management system for digital innovation to create a favorable environment for technological innovation in advanced manufacturing enterprises. On the other hand, advanced manufacturing enterprises should strategically allocate their financial resources to optimize their technological research and development environment, form policy observation teams to promptly adjust their development strategies and seize more policy benefits, and set up information feedback channels to understand the increasing demand for skilled personnel and enhance employee retention.
