Shanxi province has been deeply integrating manufacturing with modern services in recent years, as leading enterprises in the province are exploring the transformation path of "manufacturing + services". This approach is steadily upgrading the province's manufacturing sector.
Traditional manufacturing services have primarily focused on after-sales repairs and emergency troubleshooting, which are often reactive, inefficient, costly, and risk-prone. Against this backdrop, the province is shifting its service model from "reactive maintenance" to "lifecycle health management" by utilizing next-generation information technologies.

For instance, Huasong Electric Power has developed an intelligent remote power operation and maintenance cloud platform. This digital system offers integrated "product + service" solutions to the State Grid, various industrial parks, and enterprises.
Moreover, service-oriented manufacturing demonstration enterprises in Shanxi are focusing on niche markets, providing comprehensive, customized services across the entire chain. These services encompass consulting and planning, research and development, manufacturing, operation and maintenance management, technology transfer, and market distribution.
Meanwhile, the Shanxi Branch of China Post has innovated with its "Post +" empowerment model. By leveraging its extensive network, transportation vehicles, and professional workforce, it has established a full-chain service system that includes pre-production material transport, in-factory collaboration, post-production warehousing and distribution, and financial empowerment.
Shanxi aims to further deepen the innovation and development of its service-oriented manufacturing. The goal is to transform more Shanxi manufacturing companies into those that fall under the mode of "intelligent manufacturing + services", injecting continuous vitality for Shanxi’s high-quality development.
