This paper holds that,first of all,as the world economic competition framework is undergoing profound changes,major developed countries have proposed the strategy of “reindustrialization”,putting forward significant measures to revitalize manufacturing industries dependent on scientific and technological innovations.A new round of industrial revolution is deepening.The author continues to argue that,the digitalization and intellectualization of manufacturing industries can be viewed as key technologies for the new round of industrial revolution.On the one hand, they are the generic enabling technologies for the realization of mechanical products innovation,developing mechanical products towards “NC generation” and “intelligent generation”,boosting the functions,overall performance as well as market competitiveness of them fundamentally.On the other hand,they are the generic enabling technologies for the manufacturing technology innovation,developing manufacturing industries towards integrated manufacturing system featuring digitization and intellectualization, promoting the products design,manufacturing as well as management levels comprehensively,with the manufacturing service industry being developed at the same time,thus reforming the production mode and industrial pattern & structure of manufacturing industries greatly.Last but not least,the author believes that,the next twenty years can be regarded as a period characterized by precious opportunities of strategic importance,for China to transform from being a “big nation in manufacturing” to a “powerful nation in manufacturing”.China's manufacturing industries should and are most likely to make leaping progress during this time span,especially to make strategic breakthroughs in “digitization and intellectualization of manufacturing industries”,thus making historical contributions for the modernization of China.
