In 2016, the Chinese government made a commitment to its Three-Year Guidance for Internet Plus Artificial Intelligence Plan that would focus on funding and the development of AI, which will boost its economy. At a subsequent year, the State Council released a New Generation Artificial Intelligence Development Plan<\/a> which contained details on China\u2019s strategy to build a $150 billion national AI industry in the near future. With this plan, China is on its way to becoming the leading AI superpower by 2030. Considering AI development and proliferation, the Government focus on integrating AI technology in China\u2019s factories to harness and adopt the practices of: Integrated intelligent systems, which includes networked vehicles, service robots, drones, video image identification systems, voice interaction system, smart sensors, neural network, and chips. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

AI in China\u2019s manufacturing industry is now finding its ground as the smart factory technology in China is advancing and costs drop, and as manufacturers discover applications for which AI algorithms can make complex decisions. And as it becomes ubiquitous, the future of\u00a0AI technology in China\u2019s factories already becoming feasible in emerging markets; showcasing better sensory capabilities; and, off the factory floor, predicting what will be needed and when.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many medium and large\nmanufacturers are starting to use data analytics to optimize factory\noperations, boosting equipment utilization, product quality while reducing\nenergy consumption and production cost. With new supply-network management\ntools, factory operational managers have a clearer view of raw materials and\nmanufactured parts flowing through a manufacturing network, which can help them\nschedule factory operations and product deliveries to cut costs and improve\nefficiency. Through the active use of data mining, engineers and technicians\nare gaining the new insight into a machine failure, so that to improve\nreliability. Smart, connected products are sending customer experience data to\nproduct managers to help them anticipate demand and maintenance needs and\ndesign better products. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

General Concept and use of Artificial Intelligence in Chinese Factories <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After the introduction of\nthe New Generation Artificial Intelligence Development Plan, China became the new AI hub of the world.\nThere was a tremendous increase in AI research institutes; the Government started\nfunding AI start-ups, and Chinese companies are getting more investors from all\ncorners of the world. The application of Artificial Intelligence in Chinese factories is\nmore includes: the manufacturing process, product development, monitoring,\nlogistics, and environmental safety. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The use of Artificial Intelligence in Chinese\nfactories is classified   be categorized into two sections; firstly, <\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Production\nresearch and development. This can involve the use of Facial Recognition, Voice\nRecognition, Deep Learning, Machine Learning Natural Language, and Neural\nNetwork.  <\/li>
  2. The production\nprocess, improvement: This involves the use of \nRobot, monitors to an aide to ease the production process. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
