On December 10, the Department of Industry and Information Technology for the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region unveiled its Action Plan for Fostering High-End Manufacturing Clusters in Guangxi. This strategic blueprint outlines a commitment to advancing intelligent and digital transformations. It emphasizes the execution of the 'AI + Manufacturing' initiative, aiming to intensify the integration of digital technologies—such as artificial intelligence and digital twins—into manufacturing processes. The plan also targets the creation of cutting-edge intelligent products, including intelligent robots and smart home systems, and the establishment of innovative application scenarios alongside high-caliber industrial datasets in pivotal sectors.

Moreover, the plan underscores the urgency of expediting the development of innovation service platforms, with a particular focus on the China-ASEAN AI Innovation and Cooperation Hub. This move is designed to foster a clustered and interconnected digital transformation ecosystem. It advocates for the construction of industrial internet platforms tailored to specific industries and promotes the widespread adoption of cloud computing, data analytics, and AI-driven enhancements among small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

Furthermore, the plan encourages the establishment of supply chain information service platforms, the exploration of novel business models like digital management and personalized customization, and the creation of digitally advanced workshops and smart factories. This holistic approach aims to position Guangxi as a frontrunner in the digital and intelligent manufacturing landscape.
