Original title: Renewal and transformation focus on improving quality and efficiency
Recently, the State Council issued the Action Plan for Promoting Large scale Equipment Renewal and Consumer Goods Trade in, clearly focusing on key industries such as steel and nonferrous metals, and vigorously promoting the renewal and technological transformation of production equipment, energy consumption equipment, power transmission and distribution equipment. The National Development and Reform Commission, the Central Bank and other departments have also intensively introduced policies to support large-scale equipment upgrading.
From the perspective of natural renewal of equipment, there are a lot of old equipment that have entered the obsolescence and renewal period, facing problems such as lower accuracy and higher failure rate. In particular, with the rapid iteration of intelligent and high-end new equipment, the performance of old equipment has formed an intergenerational disadvantage, and rapid technological progress has also accelerated the shortening of the life cycle of many equipment. It's time for large-scale device updates.
Starting a batch of new equipment to replace old equipment can not only maintain the effective operation of the industry, but also further stimulate effective investment. However, large-scale equipment renewal is not a simple cycle of "old for new", nor is this policy a short-term act or emergency to stimulate the economy. As China's economy moves towards high-quality development, especially the development of new quality productivity, large-scale equipment upgrading focuses on improving quality and efficiency, which is reflected in technology upgrading, capacity optimization, structural adjustment and even innovation.
Equipment update is an important means to realize technology upgrading. With the rapid development of information technology and the continuous emergence of emerging technologies, the quality and efficiency of new industrial equipment have been greatly improved under the digital and intelligent enabling. Manufacturing enterprises, especially traditional manufacturing enterprises, should seize the rare opportunity brought by this large-scale equipment update, speed up the application of advanced and applicable equipment, and achieve technological upgrading. After the equipment is updated, the industrial technology level will change fundamentally. The improvement of product quality and the reduction of maintenance costs are also conducive to improving the supply quality of enterprises and leading new demand with high-quality supply creation.
Equipment renewal is also the power source of green transformation. Green and low-carbon development is an inevitable requirement for high-quality development. Improving the application standards of equipment in energy consumption and emissions is an inevitable choice to comply with China's low-carbon development. By improving the requirements of equipment energy efficiency indicators and relevant policy incentives, we will further eliminate polluting and high energy consuming old equipment, introduce green and intensive new equipment, actively promote green capacity to replace extensive capacity, and continue to increase the proportion of advanced capacity and efficient products, which will promote the upgrading of energy conservation and carbon reduction from the source, Strengthen the competitive advantage of China's industrial green development.
From a historical perspective, equipment renewal is usually accompanied by economic restructuring and industrial trend changes. At present, some industries have low capacity utilization, overcapacity, and some industries have insufficient capacity. Equipment updating should become an important starting point for structural adjustment, focusing on industrial robots, data centers, servers, charging piles, communication base stations, etc., developing and promoting the application of new production equipment, digital production modules, intelligent human-computer interaction equipment, etc. on a large scale, improving the total factor productivity of traditional industries, and promoting the expansion of emerging industries and future industrial layout.
The equipment update will also drive the further improvement of independent innovation capability. For a long time, large-scale equipment in some key fields in China has been "choked" by foreign manufacturers. Large scale equipment upgrading has created an important opportunity for China's high-end equipment manufacturing to shift from "following" to "running together" and "leading". On the one hand, promote large-scale equipment upgrading in high-end equipment manufacturing, scientific instruments, machine tool applications and other fields, which is conducive to the high-end expansion of some "choke" industries; On the other hand, give full play to the scale benefits and policy advantages brought about by this equipment update, reduce R&D costs, promote the R&D and application of new generation equipment, which is conducive to achieving new breakthroughs in major equipment manufacturing and achieving more major independent innovation achievements.
