Authorities in Guangdong province, a major manufacturing hub in South China, unveiled a plan in provincial capital Guangzhou on Thursday to develop a standard system of high-end equipment manufacturing.

The plan covers the development of systems of equipment for intelligent manufacturing, general aviation, urban rail transit and ocean engineering and shipbuilding, which are listed as strategic emerging industries of Guangdong.

According to Zhang Yanfei, deputy director of the Guangdong Quality and Technology Supervision Administration, the system will be of importance to the healthy development of high-end equipment manufacturing in the near future.

"Guangdong's strong electronic and information industry has laid a solid foundation for development of high-end equipment manufacturing, which will help upgrade the province's industrial structure," said Zhang.

The plan was unveiled during a Pan-Pearl River Delta conference on regional quality cooperation.
