Why It Matters
China's manufacturing sector is undergoing a significant digital and intelligent transformation, leading to the creation of new job roles and the upgrading of traditional industries. This transformation is extending supply chains and fostering innovation.
央视网消息(新闻联播)：今年以来，我国制造业数字化、智能化改造向纵深推进，产业链的延伸和转型升级创造大量新兴岗位，带动就业质量不断提升。
这家有着50多年历史的老水泥厂，今年以来数智化改造正加快落地。传统的采石取料、细磨等环节，如今融合成高效协同的智能生产体系，产业链也发生了这样的变化：
向上游，延伸出无人矿车调度、数字孪生建模、大数据监测等新环节；
向下游，拓展出全程溯源、数据监测、远程服务等新场景。
产业链的这些变化带来很多和数字技术相关的新岗位，像数字孪生架构师、算法工程师等不断增加。
不仅是水泥，钢铁、汽车、纺织等传统产业，生产模式也迎来深刻变革。数据显示，我国重点行业企业的关键工序数控化率达68.6%。产业链向研发、智造、服务一体化延伸，正不断催生新兴岗位。建筑信息模型技术员运用软件就可以轻松“拆分”建筑物模型；增材制造设备操作员通过3D打印技术，就可以制造想要的零部件。
下一步，我国将深入实施制造业重点产业链高质量发展行动，稳定和扩大轻工、纺织服装等传统制造业就业规模；同时，大规模开展职业技能培训，完善新职业标准和技能评价体系，在产业升级中创造更多优质岗位，促进产业就业协同发展。
