Abstract: The connotation and features of the intelligent manufacturing were analyzed based on reviewing the development and challenges to the manufacturing technology. A new understanding to the intelligent manufacturing at the era of industry 4.0 was proposed, followed by a suggested overall architecture of the intelligent manufacturing theory. The architecture included 8 modules such as theoretical fundamentals, technological fundamentals, supporting technologies, enabling technologies, kernel and themes, development paradigms, technological road-map and objective, etc. The concrete contents were set forth to the several issues of the modules above respectively, with the fundamental rules and technological phases to promote and practice the intelligent manufacturing. Finally, the future factory and manufacturing were discussed prospectively.

Key words: intelligent manufacturing, theoretical architecture, supporting technology, enabling technology

摘要： 从制造技术的发展变迁和面临的新挑战出发，分析了针对智能制造内涵及特征的认知发展过程，给出了对工业4.0时代智能制造的新认识，进而提出了智能制造理论体系总体架构，该体系架构由8个模块构成：理论基础、技术基础、支撑技术、使能技术、核心主题、发展模式、实施途径和总体目标。分别阐述了体系架构中的总体目标、核心主题、支撑技术和使能技术四大模块的具体内容，讨论了推进和实施智能制造的基本原则和技术路线，展望了未来制造的新形态和新特征。
