At present, the pace of technological revolution and industrial transformation is picking up speed. Artificial intelligence (AI) has transitioned from the realms of mere "perception and understanding" to encompassing "generation and creation," as well as "decision-making and execution."

As a prime example of the profound integration between digital technology and the real economy, industrial agents are fundamentally reshaping the organizational framework of industrial production and the paradigm of value creation.

In line with the decisions and plans set forth by the Party Central Committee and the State Council to propel new-type industrialization forward, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology unveiled the "Action Plan for the Integrated Empowerment of the Industrial Internet and Artificial Intelligence" on January 6, 2026.

As we step into 2026, industrial agents have transcended the stage of conceptual validation and are now entering a pivotal phase for scenario-based deployment. Given the stringent demands for real-time performance, reliability, and interoperability inherent in industrial settings, it becomes imperative to delineate a clear technological development pathway, surmount the bottlenecks hindering large-scale adoption, and establish a technological system that is inherently adaptive.
