Industrial machine tool is the "machine tool", which is the foundation of manufacturing industry and has an important supporting position in the national economy; Robot is an important symbol of scientific and technological innovation and high-end manufacturing level, and it is also the new blue ocean of manufacturing industry in the future.
Yangzhou industrial machine tool industry has a long history and a solid foundation, forming the characteristics and advantages of taking metal forming machine tools as the main part, cutting machine tools as the supplement, and high-end single (set) equipment to drive the development of complete production lines. Especially in the field of metal forming machine tools, it is unique. Four of the top 10 domestic metal forming machine tool manufacturers are in Yangzhou. However, compared with advanced regions, there are still problems such as small overall scale and insufficient industrial support, which need to be continuously exerted to promote the upgrading of the industrial chain.
I have three suggestions: First, promote the backbone enterprises to become bigger and stronger, aim at expanding the industrial scale, and concentrate superior resources to cultivate key enterprises. The second is to consolidate the supply chain foundation of the industrial chain and promote the transformation and upgrading of traditional parts supporting enterprises to intelligent greening; Carry out professional investment promotion in the field of machine tool supporting, and strive to make a breakthrough in the local supporting of key core components. The third is to strengthen the platform construction of integration of production and education, guide key enterprises to strengthen cooperation with institutions of higher learning, and promote the construction of integration of production and education.
