Digital devices, digital workshops, industrial internet platforms... The role of "digital variables" in reducing costs, improving quality, and increasing efficiency in traditional manufacturing is becoming increasingly evident, and the enthusiasm of enterprises to embrace transformation is gradually increasing: In the first half of the year, investment in the purchase of equipment and tools in our country increased by 17.3% year-on-year, driving fixed asset investment growth by 2.1 percentage points, with a contribution rate of 54.8%; investment in technological transformation in manufacturing increased by 10%, which is 0.5 percentage points higher than manufacturing investment.

  Digital devices, digital workshops, industrial internet platforms... The role of "digital variables" in reducing costs, improving quality, and increasing efficiency in traditional manufacturing is becoming increasingly evident, and the enthusiasm of enterprises to embrace transformation is gradually increasing: In the first half of the year, investment in the purchase of equipment and tools in our country increased by 17.3% year-on-year, driving fixed asset investment growth by 2.1 percentage points, with a contribution rate of 54.8%; investment in technological transformation in manufacturing increased by 10%, higher than the manufacturing investment by 0.5 percentage points.

  Of course, many enterprises are still daunted by digital transformation; it's not that they are "unwilling to transform," but rather that they are constrained by factors such as experience, technology, and insufficient funds, making them "afraid to transform" and "unable to transform." A survey conducted this year by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology's China Academy of Information and Communications Technology on about 300 small and medium-sized enterprises showed that more than half of the enterprises believe their transformation capabilities are insufficient and the costs of transformation are high.

  From "over 200,000 yuan wasted" to digital devices being ubiquitous in the workshop, what insights does Gu Xiaolin's enterprise transformation story bring?

  Transform step by step, carefully calculate the benefits. Enterprises need to carefully study various support policies and measures, calculate both short-term and long-term benefits, and then bravely take the first step, first addressing the biggest pain points in production and operation, spending money wisely. Then, based on the scenario, gradually transform from small to large, and through the digital upgrade of equipment, force the upgrade of the enterprise management system.

  Policies provide real financial support, boosting enterprise confidence. The good news and 500,000 yuan bonus from the Mianyang Economic and Information Bureau brought to Gu Xiaolin alleviated the enterprise's financial difficulties and strengthened confidence in transformation and upgrading. Practical measures to support enterprises' digital transformation are being continuously introduced: the central government supports the expansion of the pilot scope for the digital transformation of small and medium-sized enterprises, and the People's Bank of China has established re-loans for technological innovation and technological transformation; local policies follow up, with the Yubei District of Chongqing coordinating financial institutions to provide credit loans for the digital transformation of small and medium-sized enterprises, and Keqiao in Zhejiang rewarding printing and dyeing enterprises that implement digital transformation with investments of over 300,000 yuan, creating a synergistic effect.

  Services are small, light, fast, and precise, accurately solving pain points. In addition to leading enterprises driving the way, digital transformation service providers are also playing a role, specifically targeting small and medium-sized enterprises, providing menu-style services in a small, light, fast, and precise manner. Lightweight and small-scale digital products can not only accurately address the pain points of enterprises' production and operation but also alleviate financial pressure.

  We believe that small and medium-sized enterprises will actively take steps towards digital transformation, and with the collaborative support of government departments, leading enterprises, financial institutions, and service providers, the problems of "afraid to transform" and "unable to transform" will be resolved.
