Abstract: The current production of Chinese herbal decoction pieces faces several issues including strong subjectivity, unstable quality, low production efficiency, and a lack of intelligent systems. In order to expedite the intelligent transformation and upgrading of Chinese medicine processing, this paper delves deeply into the problems and challenges encountered in establishing a digital and intelligent production model for Chinese herbal pieces. Addressing the slow progress in fundamental research on traditional Chinese medicine processing mechanisms, the absence of online digital quality characterization techniques, the low level of production equipment intelligence, and the lack of evaluation standards for high-quality decoction pieces, this paper proposes a "New Quality Productive Forces" formation approach driven by technological innovation. Through interdisciplinary integration methods, the paper explores the mechanisms of Chinese medicine processing in depth, clarifies the correlation between the processing procedures and the "medicinal properties-quality" relationship, and employs bionic sensing and artificial intelligence to achieve a holistic quality characterization of decoction pieces. Additionally, the use of cloud-edge collaborative big data systems is proposed to enhance intelligent upgrades of the production lines. The paper also aims to establish a high-quality decoction piece evaluation system integrating "physical-chemical-biological" multimodal data fusion. This approach aims to steer the Chinese medicine processing towards becoming more efficient, precise, and sustainable, thereby promoting high-quality sustainable development of the Chinese herbal decoction industry and providing both theoretical and practical support for the modernization of traditional Chinese medicine.
