　　Intelligence has driven the transformation and upgrading of the sporting goods manufacturing industry, which has become a consensus in the industry. Looking through the major exhibition areas of China Sport Show 2017, the fitness equipment manufacturing field undoubtedly develops most rapidly amid the progression of the entire industry towards Industry 4.0.

　　From product design and product production, to product function development and user big data collection and analysis, "intelligence" has now become a must talk among people engaged in the fitness industry.

　　l Customization in Unmanned Workshop

　　In the fully mechanized intelligent CNC production workshop, one intelligent treadmill is produced every minute on average. Major fitness equipment enterprises in China have successively introduced intelligent production workshops for the treadmills since 2015 and quickly put the products into market.
