Maturity Evaluation and Pathway for the Intelligent and Digital Transformation of Panel Furniture Industry in Chongzhou
The “Intelligent and Digital Transformation” constitutes a critical pathway for manufacturing industries
particularly for the traditional manufacturing enterprises
to forge new developmental momentum and competitive edges in an increasingly competitive market
thereby facilitating the formation of new quality productive drivers. The implementation of such transformation promotes the advancement toward intelligent
flexible
green
collaborative
innovative
and brand-oriented development
accelerating the cultivation of new quality productive drivers within the panel furniture industry. This study conducted an analysis based on on-site survey data collected from 12 sampling enterprises of the panel furniture industry in Chongzhou
Sichuan Province. It summarized the exemplary practices and innovative measures adopted by these enterprises during their intelligent and digital transformation processes. This research proposed a classified advancement pathway and identified the key focal points for initial-stage explorers
steadily developing enterprises
and comprehensively leading firms separately. These findings were presented as a reference for the panel furniture manufacturers across China
with the aim at supporting the systematic enhancement of the intelligent and digitalized transformation capabilities throughout the industry.
