CCTV News (News Network): In the first three months of this year, with the continuous efforts of the "two new" policies, large-scale equipment updates in my country's industrial field have accelerated, which not only stimulated investment growth and promoted industrial development, but also played an important role in releasing the potential of domestic demand and helping green transformation.
At the construction site of Sichuan Gas East Transportation, my country's independently developed fully automatic welding inspection robot for oil and gas pipelines has been officially launched. This intelligent welding system replaces the traditional manual welding machine method, and the welding pass rate reaches more than 98%.
In Xinjiang, many mining companies have updated their intelligent mining equipment. The investment in new equipment not only improves personnel safety, but also increases production efficiency by 20% compared with the past.
Data shows that in the first quarter of this year, the amount of machinery and equipment purchased by enterprises nationwide increased by 11% year-on-year, and the trend of upgrading to high-end, intelligent and green is obvious. At present, the Ministry of Finance has allocated 500 billion ultra-long-term special government bonds to be specially used for equipment renewal and consumer goods exchange. This year, in addition to continuing to update equipment in the fields of industry, energy-consuming equipment, energy and electricity, my country will further expand its scope to electronic information, production safety, facility agriculture and other fields. At the same time, places with conditions are encouraged to use industrial parks and industrial clusters as carriers to deploy and implement equipment updates on a large scale.
The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology stated that by 2027, my country's industrial equipment investment scale will increase by more than 25% compared with 2023, and the CNC rate of key processes will reach 75%, achieving full coverage of digital transformation of major industrial provinces and key parks.
