In a recent public speech, Wu Xiaobo, the dean of the School of Management at Zhejiang University, also pointed out that the cross-border integration of information technology and traditional industries will be an inevitable trend in the future. China's manufacturing industry should fully attach importance to the information technology that supports cross-border integration and transform towards customization, intelligent manufacturing, and the service-oriented manufacturing industry.

Smart factories based on the Internet and the Internet of Things make it possible to produce a wide variety of products in small batches. This is due to the fundamental shift in the production mode "from centralized control to decentralized enhanced control" - different production equipment can not only collaborate in production but also, based on big data, respond quickly to external changes independently. This will greatly meet people's future intelligent and personalized demands for automobiles.

At the intersection of the virtual world and the real world, another possibility emerges: people can manipulate virtual intelligent technologies to more precisely complete processes that were previously difficult to handle, or simplify and restructure originally complex production processes. The newly installed bumper inspection equipment at BMW's Landshut plant demonstrates this: through a non-contact gesture recognition system, the inspection and data recording of the bumper painting process after completion can be carried out by the inspector's gestures, achieving efficient and reliable quality control.

The possibility brought by the intelligent production system is that each auto part has its own identity authentication, which runs through the entire production, assembly and service process, facilitating management and traceability. This possibility has become a reality on the production line of Bosch's Humburg factory - all parts have a unique radio frequency identification code, which can automatically "communicate" with checkpoints along the way, thereby improving the production efficiency and economic benefits of the entire upstream and downstream.
