Abstract:In this paper, the CNKI database was used as the source of literature data in 1999-2018. The bibliometric method and CiteSpace software were used to analyze the status quo, hotspots and development trends in the collaborative equipment supply chain research field. The results show that: from the perspective of time and space, research on domestic complex equipment emerged in 1999, and research institutions are concentrated in Beijing, Nanjing and other places; the research authors' cooperation network has begun to shape but the degree of cooperation needs to be strengthened and expanded; Key words co-occurrence map and clustering map show that collaborative design, integration platform, main manufacturer-supplier, collaborative development, cloud manufacturing, collaborative innovation, etc. have become the core areas of current academic study. The collaborative innovation of complex equipment become the research focus and hotspot in recent years, moreover, exhibiting an increasing tendency year by year.
