什么是灯塔工厂？

中国制造业在“一穷二白”基础上起步，1949年，全国钢产量加起来不到16万吨，这个产量在2008年最多只能建成一个“鸟巢”体育场。经过70多年发展，中国制造业规模不断扩大，并率先迈入智能化时代。

2022年10月，世界经济论坛公布的最新一期“灯塔工厂”名单显示，全球114间灯塔工厂中，中国有42间工厂上榜，占比超过三成，是世界上拥有最多“灯塔工厂”的国家，涵盖消费品、汽车、家用电器、钢铁制品、医疗设备、制药、工业设备等多个领域。

要了解入选“灯塔工厂”的意义，先来理解何为“灯塔工厂”。

自2018年开始，世界经济论坛（World Economic Forum）与管理咨询公司麦肯锡（McKinsey & Company）合作，在全球发起评选“灯塔工厂”项目，旨在遴选出在第四次工业革命尖端技术应用整合工作方面的领先企业。因其严格的评选标准，“灯塔工厂”有智能制造“奥斯卡”之称，一直被视为第四次工业革命的领路者。

What is a lighthouse factory?

China’s manufacturing industry started on the basis of “poor and white”. In 1949, the national steel production added up to less than 160,000 tons. This output in 2008 can only build a “bird’s nest” stadium. After more than 70 years of development, the scale of China’s manufacturing industry has been expanding, and it has taken the lead in entering the era of intelligence.

In October 2022, the latest “lighthouse factory” list released by the World Economic Forum shows that among the 114 lighthouse factories in the world. China has 42 factories on the list, accounting for more than 30%. Which is the country with the most “lighthouse factories” in the world, covering consumer goods, automobiles, household appliances, steel products, medical equipment, pharmaceuticals, industrial equipment and other fields.

To understand the significance of being selected as a “lighthouse factory”, first understand what a “lighthouse factory” is.

Since 2018, the World Economic Forum, in partnership with management consulting firm McKinsey & Company, has launched a global “Beacon Factory” program to identify companies that are leading the way in integrating cutting-edge technologies for the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Because of its strict selection criteria, “Lighthouse Factory” is known as the “Oscar” of intelligent manufacturing. And has been regarded as the leader of the fourth industrial revolution.
