Abstract: With some analysis on the fundamental and important
position that manufacturing industry (especially the equipment
manufacturing industry) holds in the whole of the nation’s industrial
and economic lives, the present compelling importance is pointed out for
the development of (AMTs). The trends in the market of modern
manufacturing enterprises are then described, together with some
challenges to manufacturing enterprises themselves as well as changes in
the whole machine-building industry. Following these, efforts are put on
the addressing of the new trends and characteristics in the development
of AMTs, which asserts in the following 8 aspects that for the
development of AMTs, digitalization is the core, precision holds the
key, extremes in functions become the focus, automatization keeps the
precondition, integration provides the technique, networking paves the
pathway, intelligence forms the prospects, and sustainability stems a
necessity. It is finally emphasized that all the 8 factors above overlap
and support each other to form the whole, and they take roots on the
basis of ‘machine’ and ‘manufacturing’ so as for serving the development
of manufacturing industry.
Key words: Manufacturing Advanced manufacturing technology Equipment
