Speech Title: New technologies for product research and development and manufacturing in the digital transformation of manufacturing industry

Abstract: Manufacturing industry is an important pillar for maintaining national competitiveness and sustainable and stable economic development. With the development of science and technology and the challenges of market competition, manufacturing transformation and upgrading is the key for enterprises to seize the high end of the value chain and maintain global competitiveness. A new wave of technology led by the Internet of Things, cloud computing, big data and artificial intelligence is sweeping the entire manufacturing industry. The deep integration of these emerging information technologies and industrial technologies has led to a series of new technologies and models suitable for manufacturing enterprises, such as industrial Internet, digital twinning, intelligent manufacturing and intelligent factories. As an important factor of production, digital resources promote the digital transformation of manufacturing enterprises in technology, products and business models. Therefore, this paper hopes to introduce the connotation, current situation, application status and future development trend of digital transformation of manufacturing enterprises by summarizing the relevant aspects of enterprise digital transformation. First of all, it discusses the historical development and rich connotation of digitalization of manufacturing enterprises. Secondly, the new technologies and applications in product research and development and product manufacturing in the digital transformation of enterprises are introduced. Finally, the actual cases and future development direction of these new technologies in enterprises are discussed, with a view to providing reference for the digital transformation application and research of future enterprises.
