制造业数字化转型以信息技术为核心动力，全面带动制造业生产模式、管理方式、生态范式的升级优化，为推进新型工业化，构建富有活力和竞争力的现代产业体系提供了有效手段。灯塔工厂作为全球制造业智能制造和数字化转型的标杆代表，有助于观测制造业转型发展的创新实践和前沿方向。本文以历年灯塔工厂为样本，通过历时性数据比对，发现我国在灯塔工厂上榜数量和增量、涉及行业领域的覆盖面、地区分布的广度扩展方面取得发展“量”点，但与美德等发达国家相比，依然在新旧动能转换、数字化整体进程、技术输出的国际影响力等方面依旧存在一定的“质”效差距。通过对制造业数字化转型的发展现状成效和差距问题的研析，本文试图为我国制造业数字化转型的进一步走深走实，提出可堪参考的路径建议。

With information technology as its core driver, the digital transformation of the manufacturing industry comprehensively promotes the upgrading and optimization of manufacturing production models, management methods, and ecological paradigms. It provides an effective means to advance new-type industrialization and build a dynamic and competitive modern industrial system. As benchmark representatives of global smart manufacturing and digital transformation in the manufacturing sector, lighthouse factories help observe innovative practices and cutting-edge directions in the transformation and development of the manufacturing industry. Taking annual lighthouse factories as samples, this paper finds, through diachronic data comparison, that China has achieved “quantitative”progress in terms of the number and growth of listed lighthouse factories, the coverage of involved industries, and the expansion of regional distribution. However, compared with developed countries such as the United States and Germany, there remains a certain “qualitative” gap in areas such as the conversion of old and new growth drivers, the overall digitalization process, and the international influence of technological output. By analyzing the current development achievements and existing gaps in the digital transformation of the manufacturing industry, this paper attempts to put forward referenceable path suggestions for further deepening and solidifying China’s manufacturing digital transformation.
