Intelligent manufacturing is a crucial way to achieve safe production in high-risk industries and is an inevitable choice to prevent major accidents. Major countries/regions in the world have listed intelligent manufacturing, digital manufacturing, industrial robots, and artificial intelligence as key technologies for safe production in high-risk manufacturing industries and have issued or formulated relevant intelligent manufacturing development strategies and plans to strengthen the digital, intelligent, and safety of manufacturing industry. The United States has launched national strategies such as intelligent manufacturing and robots to ensure safe production in the manufacturing industry; the European Union has created "human-centered" digital and safe manufacturing; Germany has realized the safe production of smart factories and smart products by Industry 4.0; Japan has achieved Society 5.0 through interconnected industry and unmanned technology; China has issued a series of intelligent strategies to support safe production in the fields of intelligent manufacturing, artificial intelligence, and emergency management. This paper analyzes these strategies and measures to promote production safety and intelligence in China’s manufacturing.
