This plan is formulated to thoroughly implement the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important speech delivered during his inspection tour of Hebei, carry out the arrangements made at the National Conference on Promoting New Industrialization, empower distinctive industrial clusters through “shared intelligent manufacturing,” drive breakthroughs in the transition toward high-end, intelligent, and green development, foster the formation of new-quality productive forces, make every effort to revitalize the industrial sector, consolidate the financial foundations of the county-level economy, and accelerate the construction of a strong economic province and a beautiful Hebei.

　　I. Defining Work Objectives

　　By 2025, we will establish 5 “Shared Smart Manufacturing” industrial internet platforms, cultivate 10 “Shared Smart Manufacturing” leading enterprises, and build 15 “Shared Smart Manufacturing” factories (workshops). The concept of “Shared Smart Manufacturing” will be widely recognized, the application of this model will be progressively deepened, and the efficiency of resource allocation and production organization within clusters will be significantly improved. The annual revenue growth of “Shared Smart Manufacturing” clusters will exceed 8%.

　　By 2028, 25 shared “frontrunner” enterprises will be cultivated, and 35 “shared smart manufacturing” factories (workshops) will be established. National SME specialty industrial clusters will achieve full coverage of “shared smart manufacturing” industrial internet platforms, the shared ecosystem will be fundamentally improved, and the shared model will be deeply applied.R&D expenditures for SMEs within the “Shared Intelligent Manufacturing” clusters will grow by approximately 10% annually; the CNC adoption rate for key production processes will increase by 15%; the penetration rate of industrial internet platforms will reach around 40%; and the proportion of enterprises adopting cloud services will reach approximately 60%, significantly strengthening the clusters’ role in supporting the county-level economy.

　　II. Directions for Innovative Development

　　(1) “Shared Intelligent Manufacturing” 1.0: Sharing of Manufacturing Capabilities. Leveraging industrial internet platforms, we will facilitate the collaborative sharing of manufacturing resources such as production equipment and specialized tools. We will establish shared factories that aggregate common manufacturing needs and develop equipment-sharing services based on “rent-to-own” and on-demand usage models to achieve the sharing of manufacturing capabilities.

　　(2) “Shared Smart Manufacturing” 2.0: Sharing of Manufacturing Capabilities + Sharing of Service Capabilities. Integrate high-quality social resources to provide services such as centralized procurement of raw materials, centralized management of logistics and warehousing, product inspection and testing, and data storage and analysis, thereby developing the sharing of service capabilities.

　　(3) “Shared Smart Manufacturing” 3.0: Sharing of Manufacturing Capabilities + Sharing of Service Capabilities + Sharing of Innovation Capabilities. Promote comprehensive sharing of innovation capabilities covering R&D and design, pilot testing, inspection and testing, process improvement, standards and patents, and financial services, achieving deep integration of science and technology, industry, and finance.
