Industrial Internet is a key infrastructure in the era of digital economy. In promoting the integration and innovation of industrial Internet and manufacturing industry, China already has a good foundation. Experts said that promoting the implementation of the industrial Internet requires strengthening the support conditions for integration and development. To 5G, artificial intelligence, big data and other new generation of information technology as the basis, accelerate the basic, global key technological innovation, and promote the new technology and industrial enterprises to integrate the development of new models to the ground.
Recently held the fourteenth meeting of the Central Committee for Comprehensively Deepening Reform considered and adopted the "Guiding Opinions on Deepening the Integration and Development of New-Generation Information Technology and Manufacturing" (hereinafter referred to as the "Opinions"), which emphasized that to accelerate the integration and development of new-generation information technology and manufacturing, we should comply with the trend of the new round of scientific and technological revolutions and industrial changes, with the main line of the structural reform of the supply side, and with the main direction of the smart Manufacturing as the main direction of attack, accelerate the innovative development of the industrial Internet, accelerate the fundamental change in the manufacturing mode of production and business form, consolidate the basic support for the integrated development, improve laws and regulations, and enhance the level of digitalization, networking and intelligent development of the manufacturing industry.
According to market estimates, the economic scale of China's industrial Internet industry will reach 3.1 trillion yuan this year. At present, in the new round of scientific and technological revolution and the tide of industrial change, the development of China's manufacturing industry is facing challenges, but also ushered in a major historical opportunity. It is necessary to further accelerate the construction of new infrastructure, accelerate the use of industrial Internet, artificial intelligence and other technologies, strengthen integration, innovation, and promote the construction of a strong manufacturing country.
Integration and innovation is the focus
In fact, in promoting the integration and innovation of industrial Internet and manufacturing industry, China has a good foundation. In recent years, in the Internet of Things, edge computing, cloud computing, 5G, big data, artificial intelligence and other areas of intelligent technology, China and other countries are basically in the same starting line, some aspects of China also has a comparative advantage.
Take the application of wind power generation field as an example, wind power plants are mostly distributed in remote areas with closed transportation, and the cost of equipment maintenance remains high. In the face of such difficulties, Lenovo for a large domestic wind power generation enterprises to create a set of end-to-end solutions to help enterprises realize hundreds of wind power generation equipment remote operation and maintenance, wind turbine utilization and power generation efficiency has been improved for the enterprise to reduce more than 5% of the operating costs. "The combination of intelligent technology and manufacturing provides a new springboard for China's manufacturing industry to break through innovation and build its own brand." Yang Yuanqing, Chairman and CEO of Lenovo Group, said.
The effectiveness of technology application is obvious
Fuchuan Gusheng Electromechanical Company, located in Hecheon District, Chongqing, is a manufacturing enterprise that provides bearings, gears and other parts for a number of domestic and foreign vehicle and motorcycle, agricultural machinery and other manufacturers. With the intelligent production and refined cost control services provided by UFIDA Industrial Internet Platform, the company has realized the intelligent control of the whole production process from "planning to ordering, ordering to scheduling, and scheduling to delivery". Through the introduction of industrial Internet technology to implement intelligent transformation, the number of workers in the enterprise is reduced to more than 700, and production efficiency increased by nearly 30%.
According to the general manager of UFIDA Industrial Internet Business Department, Mr. Zhang Youming, the platform integrates 39 industrial categories and involves 18 application fields, and has provided 11,000 enterprises with cloud platform services and connected 2,600 sets of production equipment in Chongqing alone.
In recent years, the company has provided 11,000 enterprises with cloud services and connected 2,600 sets of production equipment.
In recent years, China's industrial Internet layout and application significantly accelerated. According to the "Industrial Internet Industry Economic Development Report (2020)" statistics, in 2018 and 2019, the scale of China's industrial Internet industry economic value added was 1.42 trillion yuan and 2.13 trillion yuan respectively.The economic impact driven by the integration in 2019 has reached 74.8% of the proportion of industrial Internet industry economy. It is expected that in 2020, the scale of China's industrial Internet industry economy will reach 3.1 trillion yuan, accounting for 2.9% of GDP, which can drive about 2.55 million new jobs.
Industrial Internet is an important hand in promoting supply-side structural reform. According to Liu, the industrial Internet can open up the information flow and capital flow of enterprises upstream and downstream of the industrial chain, reduce operating costs, improve overall operational efficiency, and promote manufacturing enterprises to improve the level of product intelligence, so as to obtain more added value, as well as to realize the innovative business model based on data and knowledge.
"The average number of device connections of China's major industrial Internet platforms is moving toward the million level, which is in a period of rapid growth, and the benefits generated will be enormous." Wang Zhe introduced.
The implementation of the landing needs to be accelerated
This year, China's new crown pneumonia outbreak, the higher the level of digitization and intelligence of the factory, the resumption of the resumption of production, the higher the progress and efficiency.
On June 22 this year, Wave Group released "Cloud Island Industrial Internet Platform 2.0". Sun Pishu, chairman and CEO of Wave Group, said that the industrial Internet, characterized by the "Internet of everything", is reshaping the relationship between enterprises, supply chains and industrial chains, and that Wave Group will lay out an in-depth industrial Internet to promote the implementation of the industrial Internet strategy.
With the introduction of the "Opinions", the development environment and policy support of China's industrial Internet will be more complete, and it is of strategic significance to accelerate the development and application of industrial Internet. Wang Zhe believes that the introduction of the "Opinions" will accelerate the construction of China's industrial Internet-related standard system and the pace of integration and development, and guide the various fields of service providers to synergize with each other in technology and solutions, which is of great significance to enhance the international competitiveness of China's manufacturing industry.
"Industrial Internet is still in the early stage of development, and the release of the Opinions will promote the faster development and landing of Industrial Internet on both the supply and demand sides." Liushu emphasized.
Promoting the landing and implementation of the industrial Internet requires strengthening the support conditions for integrated development. Wang Zhe suggested that we should deepen the integration and application of big data technology, accelerate the promotion of industrial Internet big data resource cooperation ****share, ****build*** with safe and reliable industrial data space; promote the collaborative development of the edge of the intelligent and cloud platform, focus on creating a "national center + sub-center" industrial cloud platform construction layout, and promote the establishment of a national industrial Internet big data center. At the same time, accelerate the exploration of blockchain applications, promote the application of distributed contracts, build cross-industry, cross-field platform alliance chain, and promote interconnectivity between platforms.
