Industrial digitization refers to the transformation and upgrading of traditional industrial and business activities through the application of digital technologies to increase productivity, optimize the supply chain, improve the quality of products and services, and achieve higher levels of intelligence and automation. It involves the adoption of digital technologies and data analytics in production, operations and management to improve workflow, enhance decision-making capabilities and innovation. The goal of industrial digitization is to improve the competitiveness of companies, adapt to market changes and meet customer needs.
Digital industrialization, on the other hand, is more broadly defined as the extensive application and penetration of digital technologies and digital means throughout the economic system to promote the transformation and upgrading of industrial structures and models. Digital industrialization covers a wide range of industries and fields, including manufacturing, finance, healthcare, transportation, education, media, and so on. It does not just focus on the digital transformation of a single enterprise, but is based on the digitization of the entire economic system to promote the innovation and development of the whole society.
