Abstract: Equipment Manufacturing Industry is the foundation for national economic development. So it’s of great significance to take concrete measures to promote the equipment manufacturing industry’s innovation and development. In recent years, with "Industry 4.0", "Made in China 2025" and "Internet Plus" strategy gradually deepened, the industry innovation system characterized by intelligent production and service network becomes more and more perfect. Chinese equipment manufacturing industry will certainly blend in the global integration of industrial network system and realize the transformation and upgrading. Otherwise it will face the evolution of the risk. In this background, the study shows that a new type of industry innovation platform is of an important tool to the development of the industrial innovation, whose functions include not only management and information services, but also personalization, module integration and the entire value chain supply strategy. Using structure analysis method and function/value analytic method, the study indicates that with the availability to intelligent production and service network, the platform is basically consisted of decision-making system, information awareness and transmission system, intelligent production and service organization system and the innovation supporting system. The further study finds that the platform is transforming from "embedded" in industrial organization system to "blending" in intelligent production and service network system, which has various existence form.

Key words:  innovation platform, equipment manufacturing industry, intelligent production, service network
