Due to the modern technological revolution and the emergence of high and new technology and the extensive use of information network technology, the concepts and fields involved in the equipment manufacturing industry are gradually undergoing tremendous changes and integration, the equipment manufacturing industry technology research, development, production and sales of global cooperation is increasingly strengthened, the equipment manufacturing industry presents a global development status.

1. Equipment Manufacturing Industry Towards Clustering

Since the 1990 s, the clustering trend of the global equipment manufacturing industry has continued to develop, that is, manufacturing companies in the same industry or related industries are organically gathered in the local (region) to gain competitive advantage through continuous innovation. In industrial clustering, small and medium-sized enterprises with characteristics play an important role. Geographically concentrated enterprises and relevant institutions (universities, chambers of commerce, etc.) compete and cooperate in specific fields. There are 154 clusters in the UK, spread across 18 regions, covering a wide range of sectors and technologies. Clusters in the north of the UK tend to be in manufacturing industries such as automobiles and metal processing. The electronics industry group in Silicon Valley and 128 Highway in the United States, the medical equipment industry group in Minneapolis, the tool industry group in Solingen in Germany, the machine tool industry group in Stuttgart, and the optical instrument group in Vegera are all more typical industrial clusters in the world.

2. Equipment Manufacturing Industry Towards Informatization

At present, the equipment manufacturing industry is moving forward in the direction of informatization, and its new development trend is mainly manifested in the development and popularization of flexible manufacturing system (FMS) and computer integrated manufacturing system (DIMS), and the development of intelligent manufacturing. In this process, the informatization, software and high added value of the industry will be realized. From the perspective of technological development characteristics, it is manifested as the integration of technology; from the perspective of product development, it is manifested as the high-tech products, that is, the high value-added, intelligent and systematic products; from the perspective of system management, it is manifested as integration (Including system integration, software integration, technology integration and interface integration) and networking.

Network technology is accelerating the process of globalization of manufacturing industry, and is changing the mode of production and circulation of manufacturing industry, especially equipment manufacturing industry. E-commerce and IT technology have fundamentally changed the production, consumption and circulation mode of equipment manufacturing industry, and caused great changes in the field of trade, accelerating the globalization process of equipment manufacturing industry. As far as product manufacturing is concerned, manufacturing network is developing rapidly. Network technology integrates design, production, sales and even service. Networked manufacturing runs through the whole life cycle of products, such as order starting, business organization, product technology development, design, manufacturing and processing, sales and after-sales service. As far as industry is concerned, network is transforming the industrial structure and organizational structure of equipment manufacturing industry, the trend towards vertical integration in some industries is waning and is being replaced by a cooperative approach of contractual subcontracting.

Networked manufacturing, sales, procurement, after-sales service and contracting orders have become indispensable important means and tools for enterprises. A number of professional enterprises operating the network market have emerged in the equipment manufacturing industry in industrialized countries, engaged in network market operations in various fields such as machine tools, automobiles and parts, and electronic products. With the continuous promotion of global trade liberalization, electronic trade means are widely used, such as electronic data interchange (EDI), electronic commerce (EC), electronic trade matching (ETM) and electronic funds transfer (ETF), as well as the convergence of commodity standards and the standardization of trade contracts, which are conducive to breaking down the barriers caused by the monopoly of information and channels.

3. equipment manufacturing industry presents the development trend of globalization

Due to the modern technological revolution, especially the development of the information technology revolution, the world's manufacturing industry has undergone major changes, leading to the strengthening of the trend of globalization of the manufacturing industry, globalization strategy is to guide the multinational manufacturing companies to seize the world market strategy, and to the cluster, information, service-oriented direction of development.
