Abstract

Intelligent manufacturing is a manufacturing mode that comprehensively optimizes and intelligently upgrades the traditional manufacturing process using automation, digitalization, and digital driving technology. Improving corporate intelligent manufacturing is key to improving corporate production efficiency and national competitiveness. Based on the sample of A-share listed companies in Shanghai and Shenzhen from 2012 to 2023, this study uses a spatial autoregressive panel data model to empirically test the spatial effect in corporate intelligent manufacturing. The results show that corporate intelligent manufacturing has significant spatial effect characteristics, and an enterprise’s intelligent manufacturing level will increase with the improvement of neighbouring enterprises’ intelligent manufacturing levels. The heterogeneity analysis shows that the spatial effect in intelligent manufacturing mainly occurs in the subsample conditions with a high intelligent manufacturing atmosphere and innovation environment. All regions should effectively play the spatial effect in corporate intelligent manufacturing by establishing intelligent manufacturing demonstration enterprises, building intelligent manufacturing industrial parks, and improving the intelligent manufacturing atmosphere and innovation environment.
