Feature Papers represent the most advanced research with significant potential for high impact in the field. Feature
Papers are submitted upon individual invitation or recommendation by the scientific editors and undergo peer review
prior to publication.

The Feature Paper can be either an original research article, a substantial novel research study that often involves
several techniques or approaches, or a comprehensive review paper with concise and precise updates on the latest
progress in the field that systematically reviews the most exciting advances in scientific literature. This type of
paper provides an outlook on future directions of research or possible applications.

The innovation capability of enterprises is reflected in whether their products and services can meet the needs of customers and adapt to the market. After analyzing the main differences between traditional manufacturing enterprises and intelligent manufacturing enterprises, it is proposed that intelligent manufacturing enterprises share the main characteristics of digitization, automation, platformization and flat manufacturing. Based on the theory of “ambidextrous innovation”, this paper analyzes the mechanism of the innovation capability of intelligent manufacturing enterprises and notes that informatization and intellectualization are the driving forces between the innovation capability of enterprises. In addition, a “dual drive” and “ambidextrous innovation” have a direct effect on manufacturing and management, promoting products and services and comprehensively improving the quality of such products and services to enhance the core competitiveness of intelligent manufacturing enterprises. A compound dual innovation capability model for intelligent manufacturing enterprises is constructed, and the evaluation indices of the model are provided for reference. The present work provides research focuses and a theoretical framework for follow-up research on the innovation capability of intelligent manufacturing enterprises to promote the innovation and development of intelligent manufacturing enterprises.
