A new round of technology and industrial revolution with the Internet as its core is poised for growth, and artificial intelligence will bring revolutionary changes to people's production methods and lifestyles. The development of the world oil and gas industry also needs to take the road of intelligence. This is not only due to the development of oil and gas technology, but also the need for oil and gas industry to develop difficult oil and gas resources and to deal with low oil prices.

“Made in China 2025” clearly proposed that intelligent manufacturing engineering be one of the five key projects, and it is required to vigorously promote the intelligentization of the manufacturing process. "Internet +" collaborative manufacturing, with smart factories as the development direction, carry out pilot demonstrations of intelligent manufacturing, effectively support the intelligent transformation of manufacturing, and build an intelligent manufacturing industry ecology of openness, sharing and collaboration.

With the rapid development of China's petroleum and chemical industries, the construction of “smart oil fields”, “smart drilling”, “smart pipelines”, “smart refineries” and “smart factories” has been vigorously promoted, and the scale of production equipment is large and highly automated. Intelligent, informationalization has become an inevitable trend, and the automation instrument industry will usher in a broad space for development.
