In Yichun Jingxing Aluminum Formwork Manufacturing Co., Ltd., Jiangxi Province, a fully automatic welding robot is welding. In the process of returning to work and production, some local enterprises started the "new start-up mode", relying on the industrial Internet platform to improve production efficiency and ease employment problems. People’s vision
From 2012, when the concept was first put forward, to 2019, when it was written into "Government Work Report", the industrial Internet construction in China has achieved remarkable results in recent years. With the acceleration of new infrastructure, the industrial Internet, which ranks among them, will be blocked, and it is expected to enter a period of rapid development.
In the past few days, the central and local governments have successively introduced policies and measures to promote the development of industrial Internet, and accelerated the integration of industrial Internet and industry. On March 20th, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued the Notice on Accelerating the Development of Industrial Internet (hereinafter referred to as the Notice), proposing 20 measures in six aspects, including "accelerating the construction of new infrastructure, accelerating the expansion of integrated innovative applications, accelerating the improvement of security system, accelerating the expansion of innovation and development momentum, accelerating the improvement of industrial ecological layout, and increasing policy support".
All-round interconnection
Industrial Internet is a brand-new economic ecology, key infrastructure and new application mode with the deep integration of new generation information technology and industrial economy. By systematically constructing three functional systems: network, platform and security, it creates a new network infrastructure with comprehensive interconnection of people, machines and materials, realizes the comprehensive connection of all factors, industrial chains and value chains, and promotes the formation of a brand-new manufacturing and service system.
Regarding the role of the industrial Internet as a link between the preceding and the following, Wu Hequan, an academician of China Academy of Engineering, said: "The industrial Internet platform is a new industrial system to a certain extent ‘ Operating system ’ Downward docking massive industrial equipment, instruments and products, upward supporting the rapid development and deployment of industrial intelligent applications, and playing an important role similar to Microsoft Windows, Google Android system and Apple iOS system. "
The data shows that at present, there are hundreds of industrial Internet platforms in China, and the number of platforms with certain regional and industry influence has exceeded 50. Among them, there are the underlying technology platforms built by Internet companies such as Ali and Tencent; There are also platforms for traditional industrial technology solution enterprises such as Aerospace Cloud Network and Haier to meet the needs of transformation and development; There are platforms for large manufacturing enterprises such as Xugong, TCL and Foxconn to incubate independent operating companies; There are also platforms built by various innovative enterprises based on their own characteristics.
For the future development of the industrial Internet, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology made it clear in the Notice that it will promote basic telecommunications enterprises to build high-quality extranets, encourage industrial enterprises to upgrade and transform industrial Internet intranets, build high-quality park networks, and guide platforms to enhance new technologies such as 5G and artificial intelligence, and accelerate the construction of national industrial Internet big data centers.
At the same time, local governments have also moved quickly. Up to now, Guangdong, Shanghai, Hebei, Hunan, Chongqing, Zhejiang, Jiangsu and other places have introduced supporting policies such as building industrial Internet industry supply resource pools, standardizing infrastructure standard systems, and providing project subsidies.
The fight against the epidemic has contributed greatly.
The important role of industrial Internet has been fully reflected in the prevention and control of epidemic situation in COVID-19 and the resumption of production of enterprises.
In the process of fighting the epidemic, the industrial Internet has given full play to the ability of interconnection and resource linking, promoted the docking of supply and demand, and strongly supported the integration of resources and efficient use of materials in the whole society.
Take the deployment of key materials such as masks and protective clothing as an example. At the beginning of the epidemic, due to the lack of detailed knowledge of the daily production, sales and inventory of such key materials, it is difficult to track the logistics and distribution of materials, so some first-line medical units are short of materials. To this end, some industrial Internet companies have joined the material deployment, effectively docking the supply-side and demand-side information, providing a basis for real-time and accurate deployment of key materials.
For example, kaos Industrial Internet Platform (COSMOPlat) of Haier Group launched a "medical material information sharing resource gathering platform" after the outbreak, which can accurately and quickly match materials, help manufacturers to efficiently match materials with the needs of areas with severe epidemics, and also provide data support for government material allocation.
In this regard, Xu Xiaolan, president of China Industrial Internet Research Institute, said that through the identification analysis, blockchain and other industrial Internet-related technologies, when materials are produced and stored, you can know the location, quantity, type and other information of each material through the industrial Internet platform, so as to achieve efficient control and accurate configuration.
At a time when the epidemic situation has been effectively controlled and all localities have resumed work and production in an orderly manner, the industrial Internet has provided SMEs with tools such as industrial APP and industrial cloud services to help them resume work and production. Among them, under the guidance of the Information Technology Development Department of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the industrial Internet platform provides 210 industrial apps, covering the whole process of manufacturing, operation management and operation and maintenance services.
In this regard, the "Notice" also proposes that it will actively use the industrial Internet to promote the resumption of production, encourage the use of the industrial Internet to realize the sharing of information, technology, production capacity and orders, realize the accurate allocation and efficient docking of cross-regional and cross-industry resources, and promote enterprises to accelerate the networking of industrial equipment. Cloud.
Convergence and development of resources
A few days ago, the central government made arrangements to speed up the construction of new infrastructure. Related fields of "new infrastructure" that have attracted much attention — — 5G base stations, big data centers, etc. are all related to the industrial Internet.
For example, the "Notice" turns the new infrastructure of the industrial Internet into the internal and external networks of the industrial Internet, the identification analysis system, the industrial Internet platform, and the industrial Internet big data center. Among them, the construction of the National Industrial Internet Big Data Center will provide strong support for China to strengthen the sharing of industrial big data resources, technological innovation and development, and innovative application cultivation.
At present, China is promoting the construction of data centers represented by the National Industrial Internet Big Data Center. Wang Jian, an academician of China Academy of Engineering and chief scientist of China Industrial Internet Research Institute, pointed out that the construction of data center can integrate big data resources of industrial Internet, effectively improve the management, service and security level of big data resources of industrial Internet in China, accelerate the innovation and development of industrial Internet, help the transformation and upgrading of manufacturing industry, and significantly enhance the ability of data-driven government governance and data empowerment of the real economy.
In terms of "5G+ Industrial Internet", the Notice proposes to encourage industrial enterprises to upgrade and upgrade the industrial Internet intranet, build 10 benchmark networks, and promote 100 leading enterprises in key industries and 1,000 local key enterprises to upgrade and upgrade the industrial Internet intranet. Encourage local organizations 1-mdash; Three industrial enterprises cooperated with basic telecom enterprises in depth, and used 5G to transform the industrial Internet intranet.
The intranet of industrial internet goes deep into workshops, production lines and equipment, which is the key foundation and necessary condition to realize the comprehensive interconnection of man-machine and things. Accelerating the integration and development of 5G and industrial Internet will promote the transformation of manufacturing industry from single-point and partial information technology application to digitalization, networking and intelligence, and will also open up a broader market space for 5G, thus strongly supporting the construction of manufacturing power and network power.
Support the real active economy
Accelerating the development of industrial internet and coordinating epidemic prevention and control and economic and social development are the priority choices to alleviate the downward pressure on the economy, take into account the effective demand for short-term stimulus and increase effective supply for a long time.
Recently, China Information and Communication Research Institute released the Report on Economic Development of Industrial Internet Industry (2020). The report shows that in 2018 and 2019, the economic added value of China’s industrial Internet industry was 1.42 trillion yuan and 2.13 trillion yuan respectively, accounting for 1.5% and 2.2% of GDP respectively. It is estimated that in 2020, the economic scale of China’s industrial Internet industry will reach 3.1 trillion yuan, accounting for 2.9% of GDP, and at the same time, it will drive about 2.55 million new jobs.
Liu Duo, president of China Information and Communication Research Institute and chairman of the Industrial Internet Industry Alliance, said that with the guidance of national policies and the joint efforts of all parties concerned, China’s industrial Internet is accelerating from concept advocacy to deep-rooted cultivation, and its driving role in economic and social development is increasingly prominent.
In recent years, the integration of industrial Internet and real economy in China has continued to deepen. Today, the industrial Internet has penetrated into more than 30 key industries of national economy, including construction machinery, steel, petrochemical, mining, energy, transportation and medical care. Intelligent production, networked collaboration, personalized customization, service extension, digital management and other new modes of innovation are active, which have effectively promoted transformation and upgrading and spawned new growth points. Typical large enterprises improve data utilization rate through integration, form a complete production system and management process application, and greatly improve their intelligence level. Small and medium-sized enterprises, through the industrial internet platform, fill the shortcomings of digital capabilities at a lower price and in a more flexible way. The good situation of large, medium and small enterprises and the integration and development of the first, second and third industries is accelerating.
Experts predict that in the next three years, the industrial Internet is expected to achieve a compound annual growth rate of about 14%, and the industrial Internet will become one of the most active growth areas in the national economy.
Strengthen safety and fill short board
With the development of China’s industrial Internet, which is deeply integrated with the new generation of information technology and manufacturing industry, the security challenges brought about by it are constantly escalating. The industry believes that security has become the key to the healthy development of the industrial Internet. The level of enterprise security protection needs to be improved urgently, and the potential risks are prominent. Once a security incident occurs, it will have a serious impact.
The Notice proposes that development and security must be coordinated, and enterprises should implement the "three synchronizations" principle of network security: while building networks and platforms, they should earnestly fulfill the main responsibilities of network security, establish security management systems at the same time, build security protection measures, improve security protection capabilities, and ensure the healthy and orderly development of industrial Internet.
In addition, the COVID-19 epidemic also highlighted the shortcomings that China’s industrial Internet needs to be filled. Experts pointed out that although the total amount of industrial internet data resources in China has exploded, there are still problems such as isolation, dispersion and closure of data resources in various regions and industries, and the data value has not been effectively used.
In this regard, the "Notice" clarifies that it is necessary to focus on building a "national center+sub-center" industrial Internet big data center to realize the convergence, integration, analysis and application of national industrial Internet big data resources. At the same time, it is necessary to accelerate the cooperation and sharing of industrial Internet big data resources, organize key enterprises to access industrial Internet big data centers, and jointly build and share a safe and credible industrial data space.
