大船制造开出“数智航线”

Core Viewpoint - Jiangsu province has established itself as a leading hub for shipbuilding and marine engineering in China, with significant growth in high-tech shipbuilding and marine equipment sectors, achieving a value-added growth of 14.6% year-on-year from January to July 2023 [1][2]. Group 1: Industry Overview - Jiangsu's shipbuilding and marine engineering industry has maintained its position as the top in the country for over a decade, with major shipbuilding bases in Nantong, Yangzhou, and Jingjiang [1]. - In 2024, Jiangsu's shipbuilding completion volume, new orders, and hand-held orders are projected to account for 47.36%, 46.22%, and 46.94% of the national totals, respectively [1]. Group 2: Challenges Faced - The shipbuilding industry is experiencing a shortage of skilled workers, with an average age of workers being higher than in other sectors, leading to efficiency challenges [2]. - The complexity and large volume of work in shipbuilding require extensive coordination among various trades and departments, consuming significant time and resources [2]. Group 3: Solutions and Innovations - Jiangsu has launched a three-year action plan (2025-2027) to enhance the intelligent, digital, and networked transformation of the manufacturing sector [3]. - Companies are implementing smart management systems, such as steel material management software, which has halved inventory levels and significantly improved efficiency [4]. - The introduction of information systems has reduced inventory cycles from 15 days to approximately 6 days, increasing manufacturing efficiency by 30% and reducing labor intensity [4][6]. Group 4: Future Prospects - The provincial government aims to significantly reduce labor intensity in key shipbuilding processes and enhance management precision and information integration within three years [5]. - The ongoing "smart transformation" initiatives are expected to further boost production capacity and economic benefits, solidifying Jiangsu's status as the leading shipbuilding province in China [6].
