As an integration of artificial intelligence and advanced manufacturing technology, intelligent manufacturing has realized the innovation of manufacturing mode and created conditions for the green development of industry. After constructing a theoretical framework between intelligent manufacturing and industrial green total factor productivity, this paper uses panel data of 30 provinces in China from 2006 to 2020, and expresses the level of intelligent manufacturing with industrial robot density, to discuss the economic effects and mechanisms of intelligent manufacturing. The results show that intelligent manufacturing has a positive effect on industrial green total factor productivity, and the panel quantile regression model indicates that there is an increasing marginal effect. With the quantile points going from low to high, the coefficient and statistical significance become larger. Human capital is the mechanism for intelligent manufacturing to improve industrial green total factor productivity. Green technology innovation and producer service industry agglomeration have strengthened the positive effect. There is also heterogeneity in the effect, and the stronger the effect in regions launched local pilot schemes for carbon emissions trading and industrial green transformation development policy. In order to give full play to the technological dividend and empower sustainable industrial development, the paper argues that we need to accelerate the integration of artificial intelligence and manufacturing technology, thus improving the level of industrial intelligence and empowering green development.
