1. Overview and illustration of the industrial chain
Intelligent manufacturing equipment is a collective term for all kinds of manufacturing equipment with perception, decision-making and execution functions, which is a kind of equipment that integrates mechanical system, motion system, electrical control system, sensor system, information management system and other technologies, reduces the dependence of the production process on human labor, and significantly improves production accuracy, production quality and production efficiency. The core of intelligent manufacturing equipment is intelligent manufacturing.

Intelligent manufacturing is the theory, method, technology and application involved in the whole life cycle of manufacturing (product innovation design, processing and manufacturing, assembly, testing, management, marketing, after-sales service, customer relations, warehouse logistics supply chain, scrap disposal, etc.) of a new generation of intelligent technology (mobile Internet, intelligent technology, big data, cloud computing, Internet of Things, etc.). The upstream of the intelligent manufacturing equipment industry chain is mainly divided into core components such as transmissions, reducers, spindles/bearings, transmission devices, sensors, controllers, displays, and servo systems; The downstream is the application field of intelligent manufacturing equipment, mainly covering automobile manufacturing, engineering machinery, iron and steel chemical industry, energy, biomedicine, aerospace and logistics and other fields.

2. Analysis of the global intelligent manufacturing equipment market
Under the guidance of "Industry 4.0", global industrial manufacturing technology is promoting the production mode of manufacturing in various countries to gradually develop from manual production and semi-automatic production to automated production, realizing factory intelligence, and the demand for intelligent manufacturing equipment is getting stronger and stronger. According to the data, in 2018, the global smart manufacturing market exceeded $1 trillion and is expected to reach about $1.51 trillion in 2022.

3. Analysis of the scale of China's intelligent manufacturing equipment market
With the release of intelligent manufacturing related policies such as the "14th Five-Year Plan" intelligent manufacturing development plan and the notice on promoting the accelerated development of the industrial Internet, as well as the state's strategic guidance and strong support for intelligent production in the manufacturing industry, the number and scale of China's intelligent manufacturing industry demonstration areas and enterprises have been expanding, and the market scale of intelligent manufacturing industry has grown rapidly. According to the data, in 2021, the output value of China's intelligent manufacturing industry will reach 3.2 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 18.52%, and the output value is expected to reach 6.1 trillion yuan in 2026.

4. Analysis of intelligent manufacturing equipment industry segmentation
According to the "China Intelligent Manufacturing Equipment Industry Development In-depth Research and Investment Prospect Forecast Report (2023-2030)" released by the Guanyan Report Network, the intelligent manufacturing equipment industry includes industrial robots, intelligent instrumentation, automated complete sets of production lines, intelligent detection and assembly equipment, intelligent warehousing and logistics equipment, digital workshops, intelligent factories and other industrial automation industries.

(1) Automated complete production line
The automated complete production line is composed of various mechanical processing devices, conveyor systems and control systems, which can automatically complete the whole process of product manufacturing. At present, the automated complete production line has become an important part of the industrial automation equipment system (other components are intelligent control system, industrial robot, new sensor). According to the data, in 2021, the scale of China's industrial automation market will reach 253 billion yuan. In the future, with the improvement of the core technology level of domestic automation, the industrial automation equipment industry, including automated complete production lines, has huge room for growth.

(2) Intelligent warehousing and logistics equipment
Intelligent warehousing and logistics equipment refers to the application of sensors, artificial intelligence, big data and other technologies to warehousing and logistics equipment. The application of intelligent warehousing and logistics equipment includes two major fields: industrial production logistics and commercial distribution logistics.

In the field of intelligent warehousing, the application of information technology and the Internet in the field of commodity logistics greatly promotes the development of the commodity logistics industry based on "Internet +", and the continuous application of intelligent warehousing system in commodity logistics plays an important role in improving the speed and efficiency of commodity logistics transmission, and the industry has a broad market space. According to the data, in 2019, there were about 6,000 automated three-dimensional warehouses in China, and the market size of intelligent warehousing was 85.65 billion yuan, and the market size is expected to reach 148.632 billion yuan in 2023.

Intelligent logistics equipment includes automatic guided vehicles, shuttles, stackers, conveyors, sorters and other equipment, which are widely used in machinery manufacturing, food and beverage, medicine, automotive, e-commerce and other industries. With the continuous upgrading of digitalization and intelligence in the downstream application industry, the demand for intelligent logistics equipment industry has also increased. According to the data, in 2021, the market size of China's intelligent logistics equipment will be 210 billion yuan, with a compound growth rate of 28.93% from 2012 to 2021.    

(3) Smart factory
"Industry 4.0" includes four themes: intelligent production, intelligent factory, intelligent logistics and intelligent service, and the company's intelligent manufacturing system and intelligent warehousing and logistics system are all important parts of intelligent factory. With China's great attention to the development of intelligent manufacturing industry and the continuous improvement of intelligent manufacturing level, the rapid development of intelligent factories is promoted. According to data, the market size of China's smart factory industry in 2021 will be 951.9 billion yuan.
