This edition launches a series of reports starting from now on, telling about the new changes brought about by the digital transformation of different industries.

　　In recent years, my country’s industrial Internet has been developing well, effectively enhancing the level of industrial integration and innovation, accelerating the pace of digital transformation of manufacturing, and effectively promoting the high-quality development of the real economy.

Development into the fast lane

Ten key platforms serve nearly 80,000 industrial enterprises

　　Entering the Panzhihua Iron and Steel Group Xichang Steel Vanadium production workshop, a production line connected to the industrial brain is running in an orderly manner, and real-time data monitoring and parameter tuning are realized in multiple production links such as desulfurization, alum extraction, converter, blending gold, and refining. In the pilot phase, only three of the processes were optimized, that is, 1 kilogram of raw material was saved per ton of steel production.

　　"Lianyun Internet access is more important to achieve traceability of production data." Wang Yue, a senior strategic expert of Alibaba Cloud Research Institute, explained that once quality problems are found, production problems can be quickly located and restored, thereby greatly improving the accuracy of quality inspection and reducing Return costs. Taking steelmaking as an example, Pangang has saved 17 million yuan in costs every year after connecting to the industrial Internet.

　　According to Liu Duo, Dean of China Information and Communication Research Institute, Industrial Internet is a brand-new industrial ecology, key infrastructure and new application model that deeply integrate new generation information technology and industrial economy. In recent years, with the vigorous promotion of the country and the active participation of all parties involved in production, education and research, my country's industrial Internet innovation has entered the fast lane.

　　From the perspective of platform construction, it has fostered the formation of over 500 industrial Internet platforms with distinctive characteristics and diverse capabilities. Among them, there are more than 70 platforms with certain industry and regional influence, and the top ten key platforms serve nearly 80,000 industrial enterprises and industrial models. Number of 1110, industrial APP number reached 2124.

　　From the perspective of converged applications, the integration of 5G and the Industrial Internet has entered the implementation stage, with the construction of more than 100,000 5G base stations. In industries, fields such as industry, transportation, and medical treatment, hundreds of 5G innovative application scenarios have been formed.

　　From the perspective of security, more than 30 industrial Internet security-related standards have been released, and a real-time monitoring capability for more than 100 industrial Internet platforms and more than 9 million networked devices has been initially formed, serving more than 90,000 industrial enterprises.

There are two barriers to transformation

The cost of digital transformation is high, and the digitalization of SMEs is low

　　Through digital transformation, enterprises can effectively promote the upgrade of production models and dig deep into the resource value of industrial data. For many traditional manufacturing companies, there are two barriers to taking the road of relying on industrial Internet transformation.

　　The first hurdle is the trade-off between the cost of transformation and the benefits brought by the enterprise.

　　"What is the cost of the transformation? Who will bear the cost of the transformation? How much value will the transformation bring? This is a matter of general concern for some manufacturing enterprises to carry out digital transformation." Min Wanli, founder and CEO of Kunzhan Technology, believes that Costs are very sensitive. In the case of unclear benefits, investing huge funds first to bear the cost of transformation is the reason why many companies, especially small and medium-sized enterprises, want to transform but have not changed.

　　According to Li Xiangqian, general manager of Tencent Industrial Cloud, traditional manufacturing industry is more focused on its own business, and the understanding of the industrial Internet is more from solving the problems of the business itself, such as improving production efficiency, reducing production costs, and improving product quality, which brings considerable Benefits. This requires the platform to proceed from the business needs of the enterprise and to solve the pain points of the enterprise, and tailor-made an exclusive transformation plan for the enterprise.

　　The low level of digitization of SMEs is the second hurdle for the transformation of the industrial Internet.

　　"At present, the digitalization level of Chinese enterprises, especially small and medium-sized enterprises, is relatively low, and more than 55% of enterprises have not completed the basic equipment digital transformation. In addition, there is a large gap in the overall digital development level between industries, and the digitalization of more than 50% of manufacturing enterprises is still Single-point trial and partial promotion stage."Xu Xiaolan, president of China Industrial Internet Research Institute, said that some small and medium-sized micro-manufacturing companies have developed extensively and have low profit margins. They cannot afford the high cost of digital transformation and the application of new technologies, resulting in a lack of digital transformation. power.

　　From the perspective of the industrial chain, Wang Yue believes that the current digital transformation is mostly a single-handed advancement, and there is less linkage between the upstream and downstream, which is difficult to produce a synergistic effect, which limits the overall benefits of digital transformation.

New opportunities for industry

Consolidate the construction of infrastructure system and strengthen the intellectual support of talents

　　During the process of resuming production, manufacturing companies saw the important role played by the Industrial Internet. Using the Industrial Internet not only can effectively improve production efficiency and reduce labor density, but also some large-scale industrial Internet platforms can quickly extend the supply and demand docking function, gather information from various regions, and achieve accurate matching according to demand, thereby effectively stimulating production.

　　"The epidemic has forced manufacturing companies to increase their demand for efficiency improvement, so digital solutions that can achieve cost reduction and efficiency increase will be very popular." Aiming at new opportunities for industrial development, Min Wanli began to experiment with the possibility of industrial Internet landing in different scenarios. .

　　Not long ago, Kun Zhan Technology made an attempt on the live broadcast platform to broadcast the production line of the shoe-making enterprise, and consumers scheduled production on the production line immediately after placing the order. "From the user seeing the sample to place an order, to the production line to perceive the user's needs, to achieve accurate response, the full chain resonance at the same frequency, breaking the barriers between manufacturers and customers can not see each other." Min Wanli said.

　　Not only is the market favorable, but the Industrial Internet is also ushering in a new round of policy dividends. As early as 2018, the Central Economic Work Conference emphasized the need to strengthen the construction of new types of infrastructure such as artificial intelligence, industrial Internet, and Internet of Things. This year's "Government Work Report" once again clearly proposed strengthening new infrastructure construction and developing a new generation of information networks.

　　"The development of new infrastructure construction represented by the Industrial Internet is a strong promoter of the transformation of the old and new kinetic energy of the economy, and it has an investment-pulling effect." Xu Xiaolan introduced, according to estimates, in 2019, the industrial economic value-added scale of China's industrial Internet has reached 3.41 Trillion yuan. In 2020, the data will increase to 3.78 trillion yuan.

　　The prospects are promising and the opportunities are now. How to promote the industrial Internet to play a role?

　　Infrastructure is the key to promoting the Industrial Internet. Xu Xiaolan said that efforts need to be made to build a national innovation system for industrial Internet. Strengthen the key technology research of hardware and software, accelerate the research and development and industrialization of key network equipment and intelligent network equipment, and accelerate the breakthrough of various long-term industrial software. At the same time, we should also focus on building four types of public service platforms including industrial data management services, evaluation services, industrial monitoring services, and testing and certification services.

　　Talent is the support for the development of the Industrial Internet. Min Wanli suggested that intellectual resources including scientific researchers and industry experts should be accurately matched to the weak links and basic links of the industry, such as basic materials science, high-end equipment manufacturing, etc., and strengthen the intellectual support of industrial Internet technology.
