At present, China's machinery industry has 87% of the enterprises set up an information technology agencies, 90% of enterprises to develop information technology planning. With the gradual advancement of information technology, China's equipment industry, the rapid growth of the international status of continuous improvement. At present, China in the conventional power generation equipment, port machinery, cement complete sets of equipment, ships and other manufacturing areas, has been in the forefront of the world, and the gap between industrialized countries is gradually narrowing.

"Equipment industry is the core and foundation of the industrial system, is to realize the basic conditions of industrialization.To promote the deep integration of equipment industry, will promote information technology to penetrate all aspects of the equipment industry, from product, design, manufacturing, management, business processes Industrial system, help to optimize the industrial structure, enhance the industrial value chain, which prompted China 's equipment industry, and even the whole industry from big to strong.

With the gradual implementation of CNC equipment, CNC machine tools and other equipment, the degree of intelligence has been deepened, equipment, product information technology content continues to improve, some large-scale equipment and technical level comparable to foreign products.

At present, China has produced an international advanced level of CNC heavy-duty five-axis turning machine milling machine, large-scale rapid CNC automatic stamping production line has also been successfully run. The numerical control rate of metal cutting machine tool production increased from 36.3% in 2005 to 52.5% in 2010. In addition, the 15,000-ton hydraulic press and other major products and materials required for the successful development, but also reflects the level of China's equipment manufacturing products, the continuous improvement of information technology.

Production automation, design digital software in the equipment industry has been widely used. First, in the R & D design using computer-aided technology CAX, greatly improving the design accuracy and efficiency; Second, the use of process planning CAPP production, not only to achieve the order of production, but also reduces the traditional process planning for production design Personnel experience requirements, to ensure the optimization of the process and standardization; Third, through the introduction of advanced information technology and information technology equipment system, to achieve automated production.
