MIIT is researching and drafting relevant policy measures for a new generation of intelligent manufacturing, accelerating the deep integration of artificial intelligence and manufacturing. On October 20, 2026, Cailian Press reported that MIIT will implement a "model-data resonance" initiative in scenarios such as intelligent production scheduling, parameter tuning, defect detection, and equipment operation and maintenance, and prudently carry out research, development and application validation of industrial agents, promoting each one as it matures; previously, the eight departments issued the "AI + Manufacturing" Special Action Implementation Opinions, proposing to launch 1,000 high-level industrial agents by 2027. On October 21, The Beijing News reported on the same matter, mentioning that in the first three quarters, digital industry revenue grew 14.6% year on year, and as of the end of September 2026, intelligent computing power reached 2592EFLOPS, up 146% year on year, with domestic computing power and large models having formed more than 1,000 application scenarios across 20 industries including steel, automobiles, and pharmaceuticals. Currently, these policy measures are still in the research and drafting stage.

MIIT Drafts New-Generation Smart Manufacturing Policy, Will Steadily Carry Out R&D and Application Validation of Industrial Agents
The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) is studying and drafting policy measures related to a new generation of smart manufacturing, with a focus on four areas: tiered cultivation of smart factories, innovation in smart equipment, breakthroughs in and promotion of smart technologies, and international cooperation. In terms of smart technology breakthroughs, the MIIT will carry out a "modulus resonance" initiative around scenarios such as intelligent production scheduling, parameter tuning, defect detection, and equipment operation and maintenance, and will steadily carry out R&D and application validation of industrial agents, promoting each one as it matures. Previously, the State Council and eight departments including the MIIT proposed that by 2027 the penetration rate of applications such as agents should exceed 70% and that 1,000 high-level industrial agents should be launched; Haitong International Securities said that the current industrial AI adoption rate is 15.5% for large enterprises and only 5.4% for small enterprises.
