Intelligent Manufacturing Leading China's Bearing Industry Revolution

Accelerated Digital Transformation Boosting Production Efficiency

In recent years, China’s bearing industry has made groundbreaking progress in intelligent manufacturing. Leading companies such as Renben Group and Wafangdian Bearing have fully digitalized their production processes by integrating the Internet of Things (IoT) and automated production lines. For example, Luoyang LYC Bearing utilizes smart sensors to monitor equipment status in real time, reducing failure rates by 30% and improving production efficiency by 20%.

Deep Integration of AI and Digital Twin Technology

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is widely applied in defect detection. Combined with high-precision machine vision systems, it can identify micron-level cracks, replacing traditional manual inspections. Digital twin technology optimizes bearing design through virtual simulation, shortening the research and development cycle by more than 50%. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology’s (MIIT) "Intelligent Manufacturing Development Plan" explicitly states that by 2025, the smart manufacturing coverage rate for high-end bearings will exceed 60%, driving domestic bearings towards "high precision and high reliability."

Policy Support and Future Outlook

The government supports enterprises in smart transformation through tax incentives and special funding programs. Over the next three years, China’s bearing industry is expected to add 200 new intelligent production lines, further strengthening its position in the global supply chain.
