In accordance with the deployment of the "Better Utilize the Role of People's Congress Representatives" theme activity in Foshan, on July 11, Mayor Bai Tao conducted in-depth field research and discussions regarding the implementation of the suggestion on the digital and intelligent transformation and upgrading of Foshan's traditional industries, proposed by provincial representatives at the second session of the 14th Provincial People's Congress. This initiative aims to accelerate and enhance the digital transformation of traditional industries.
Mayor Bai first visited Guangdong Dayang Medical Technology Co., Ltd., where he toured the production workshop and warehouse to gain a detailed understanding of the achievements made in the company's digital transformation. He encouraged the enterprise to seize the development opportunities in the health and wellness industry, to deepen the application of digital technologies, and to innovate and develop more high-quality medical rehabilitation products, such as power wheechair, reclining shower chair etc.
Subsequently, Bai Tao visited Guangdong Keyuan Electric Co., Ltd., where he engaged in deep discussions with the company leaders to understand the implementation of technological transformation projects, the tackling of core technologies, market expansion, and operational efficiency. He praised young entrepreneurs for actively leading their companies towards digital transformation after taking over, expressing hope that the companies would strengthen their efforts in technological transformation to further reduce costs and increase efficiency.
During the discussion meeting, provincial representatives and enterprise representatives spoke about promoting the digital transformation and upgrading of Foshan's traditional industries. The city's Bureau of Industry and Information Technology reported on the implementation status of the representatives' suggestions, and relevant departments responded accordingly. Bai Tao listened attentively to the speeches and interacted with attendees throughout the meeting. He emphasized that as a major manufacturing city, Foshan places a high priority on actively utilizing advanced technologies to transform and upgrade traditional industries. The city strongly supports enterprises in enhancing the automation, digitalization, networking, and intelligence levels of their equipment and production lines to achieve comprehensive improvements in efficiency, quality, management, and effectiveness.
He urged enterprises to deeply understand that digital transformation is a "mandatory question" related to their high-quality development and to strengthen their confidence and determination in pursuing transformation. He encouraged them to deepen the integration of artificial intelligence technologies across all processes, including research and development, production, service, and management, while focusing on enhancing their internal capabilities to comprehensively improve their core competitiveness. All levels and departments of the city must promote a new round of industrial technological transformation, strengthen policy supply, provide precise guidance, and deliver targeted services, so that leading enterprises can drive more small and medium-sized enterprises towards accelerated digital transformation. This effort aims to promote a "chain-style" transformation of the upstream and downstream of the industrial supply chain, accelerating the construction of a modern industrial system.
