Multi-purpose, small-scale, high-frequency switching lines are becoming the norm in manufacturing, relying on pre-programmed, repeated execution of traditional automation equipment, and it is increasingly difficult to keep up with the pace of production line changes. The integration of artificial intelligence, robots, multi-modal perception and motion control technology with industrial-grade intelligence is one of the focused growth directions in factory automation transformation.
As opposed to general-purpose intelligent solutions, industrial-purpose intelligent solutions can't do well. Operational stability, reliability, production rhythm and processing assembly accuracy are the bottom line that industrial customers cannot compromise, while vertical industry Know-How, which is rooted in real production lines, is the ability of general models not to directly give.
From the carrier's point of view, industrial machine intelligence is not limited to a certain type of robot shape, fixed base, mobile operating shape, quadruped, human shape, and intelligent magnetic drive, respectively, to find its location in scenes such as dump, assembly, inspection, assembly, and production line flow.
According to the GGII Institute of Advanced Robotics Industry (IGII) data, China's smart industry market size in 2025 is about 4726 billion yuan; GGII expects the market size to reach 5935 billion yuan in 2026, a growth rate of 25.58%; the market size is expected to exceed 571.39 billion yuan by 2030, and the compound growth rate of 64.62% in 2025.
Around this emerging market, the Joint Micro-Billion Institute of High-Industry Robotics (GGII) together with micro-technology, longitudinal robotics technology, China-wide robotics, and Huilin technology, representing enterprises in the industry chain, have compiled the Blue Book for China's Industrial Equipment Intelligent Industry Development Project (2026), which provides information on technology development research and development opportunities for industry stakeholders. The Blue Book Project will be released online, please lock the video number of the High-Industry Robot, please click the booking button below to get a live broadcast reminder.

Industrial intelligence is behind it.
What landing issues are worth considering
Based on a large number of enterprise research and field cases, Setup Concepts, Backgrounds, Industry Chains, Markets, Business Stories, and Prospects, the Blue Book System depicts the industry as a whole and attempts to answer the following industry focus questions:
Where is the boundary between industrial machine intelligence and traditional industrial robots, general machine intelligence, and how do different forms of industrial machine intelligence fit into their respective industrial tasks?
Where is the cost focus and technical competition for upstream core modules - downstream core devices - downstream system integration and supporting devices - along the three-tier chain, joint modules, end executors, sensors, and software systems?
Operating systems, data and simulation, multimodal perception, VLA models, world models, adaptive controls, cloud-side-to-end collaboration, how do these technologies work together to transform intelligent decision-making into physical movements that meet process requirements?
How will the four big barriers of money, technology, data, and brands shape the competitive landscape?
To address these issues, the Blue Book Project explores the boundaries between the capabilities and product formats of the smelting industry with physical intelligence, analyzes key components such as joint modules, end executors, sensors and software systems, and combines industry measurement with enterprise projects to observe how technology is transformed into productivity to provide opportunities and pathways for industry to choose.
By bringing together industrial research and corporate practice, the Blue Paper aims to foster a clearer development consensus among industry stakeholders around technical capabilities, process adaptation and application values.
Four companies joined forces
Practice of industrial equipment from the production site
The joint edition unit of the Blue Book Group brings together the main enterprises from all sectors of the industrial hardware chain. At the same time, the GGIII invited representatives of enterprises to participate in the conference to explore the implementation of industrial hardware intelligence on six core topics.
The following list is incomplete; you can help by expanding it.
▌Micro-billionths of AI
