今年本刊第三期《工厂自动化向纵深发展》一文指出，目前我国机械工业技术改造中，要重点发展多层次的经济型工厂自动化装备，使之进入良性循环。本文作者结合我国国情，运用成组技术与系统工程，为我国工厂的技术改造提出了独立制造岛的方案，并着手在三个工厂中实施。这是一项很有意义的探索，希望有更多的同志来关心和探讨这个方案，并能得到有关方面的支持。 This year’s third issue of “Factory Automation to the depth of development,” a paper pointed out that the current technological transformation of China’s machinery industry, we should focus on the development of multi-level economic factory automation equipment, make it into a virtuous circle. According to our national conditions, the author of this paper, using group technology and system engineering, put forward a plan for independent manufacturing of the island for the technological transformation of the factory in our country and proceeded to implement it in the three factories. This is a very meaningful exploration. We hope that more comrades can care about and discuss this proposal and get the support from the parties concerned.
