The development of manufacturing industry is inextricably linked with the development of tools used. With the invention and use of tools as milestones, mankind has gone through the Stone Age, the Bronze Age, the Iron Age, the Age of steam engines, the Age of electricity and the information Age with computers as tools. With the development of manufacturing technology, automation technology has been rapidly developed in industrial mass production. Manufacturing automation system has also gone through the development process of numerical control machine tool (NC), flexible manufacturing system (FMS), computer/modern integrated manufacturing system (CIMS), and is moving towards intelligent manufacturing system (IMS).

With the continuous popularization of information technology, intelligent manufacturing began to develop gradually. Since the beginning of this century, many developed countries have realized the disadvantages of deindustrialization and started to implement new strategies. For example, the U.S. Advanced Manufacturing Partnership, Germany's Industry 4.0, the EU's Factory of the Future, the U.K. 's Industry 2050 strategy, and Japan's New Robotics strategy are among the initiatives. These strategic plans can provide useful experience and reference for our country's development of intelligent manufacturing industry.

In May 2015, China released "Made in China 2025", which also pointed out that we should take intelligent manufacturing as the main direction and build a new manufacturing system with intelligent manufacturing as the focus. It can be considered that intelligent manufacturing is the core driving force leading the wave of the "third industrial revolution", and the related industries covered by intelligent manufacturing will become the leading industries in the world's industrial development field in the future.
