AI sharpens China's manufacturing edge as factories grow smarter
China's manufacturing sector is becoming increasingly automated with the help of artificial intelligence, improving efficiency and precision in factories across the country. The trend is driven by growing demand for AI-related infrastructure and is expected to continue in the coming years.
China's factories are becoming smarter with the integration of artificial intelligence, enhancing manufacturing efficiency and precision. In Jiangsu Province, robotic arms automate semiconductor testing and packaging, improving production lines once known for manual labor. NESY, a commercial robotics company, has seen its output value surpass 100 million yuan since deploying its molding system in 2023. Multinational manufacturers, such as Eaton, are also adopting AI for complex production, resulting in significant increases in output and design efficiency. China's industrial robot production rose 31.1% year-on-year in the first two months of 2026. The Yangtze River Delta region is emerging as a key hub for advanced manufacturing, with 26 national-level clusters formed so far.
