(Mid-Year Economic Observation) How to accelerate the implementation of new infrastructure enterprises how to catch the digital express?
China News Agency, Beijing, June 24 (Reporter Liu Yuying) The digital economy and the traditional economy are accelerating integration. In the first half of this year, more than 20 provinces in China issued plans to develop new infrastructure to accelerate the construction of the "base" of the digital economy, and companies are also working hard to take the appropriate digital express.
The integration of the new infrastructure and the real economy is constantly being implemented, and digitalization has enabled traditional industries to enter the practical stage.
This month, Shanxi Yangmei Group's first 5G smart coal mine in the country was officially completed. Relying on a 5G network 534 meters deep downhole, three 5G applications, including unmanned inspection of the electromechanical chamber, unmanned operation of the tunneling face and unmanned operation of the fully mechanized mining face, help the unmanned, automated and visualized operation of the coal mine.
Not only 5G smart coal mines, but also 5G smart ports have entered the landing stage. Ningbo Zhoushan Port has created a "5G+Smart Port" commercial model. The port strives to use 5G and cloud computing, Internet of Things, artificial intelligence and other information technologies to promote efficiency, reduce costs, and ensure the safety of equipment personnel.
In the industrial Internet practice, the Inspur Industrial Internet platform combines the national industrial Internet logo analysis system, blockchain, and national commercial cryptography technology to form a product quality code that can be traced throughout. It has now served Moutai, Gree, Midea, Dong Ejiao, Tsingtao Brewery, Haier Mitsubishi and other 3,000 companies have launched platforms, accumulating 11,000 products.
At present, all parts of China are stepping up to promote new infrastructure. According to public information, more than 20 provinces have issued relevant plans. Taking Guangdong as an example, this year Guangdong arranged a total of 1,230 provincial key projects and proposed new infrastructure projects of 5.9 trillion yuan.
Based on the planning of various provinces, it mainly focuses on 5G, data centers, industrial Internet, artificial intelligence, blockchain, etc., and focuses on the fields of research and development of underlying technologies, infrastructure construction, new business development, and personnel training.
Internet platform companies have also increased investment in new infrastructure. Alibaba Group plans to invest 200 billion yuan in new infrastructure. Alibaba's vice president Liu Song said that cloud computing and cloud services are the base of the entire digital society. Alibaba's 200 billion yuan investment is used in the research and development of major core technologies such as cloud operating systems, servers, chips, and networks, and the construction of future-oriented data centers.
Tencent announced that it will spend 500 billion yuan on new infrastructure layout in the next five years, including cloud computing, artificial intelligence, blockchain, servers, large data centers, supercomputing centers, and Internet of Things operating systems.
New infrastructure is being built quickly. How to make good use of these facilities is the next problem, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises. There are still difficulties in digital transformation under the epidemic.
Data from the China Academy of Information and Communications Research shows that in 2018, China's industrial digitalization accounted for 27.63% of GDP, lagging behind 54% in the UK, 52.8% in the US, and 54% in Germany. This means that the penetration of digital technology into the overall economy in China is far from enough.
In 2020, China officially launched the enterprise "Cloud Intelligence with Numbers" action, which requires platform companies to help small, medium and micro enterprises to overcome difficulties, provide multi-level and diversified services, reduce costs, lower thresholds, shorten cycles, and improve the success rate of transformation.
At present, China has launched "cloud subsidies" in many places, and enterprises can obtain government subsidies for purchasing cloud services. Wu Zhigang, director of the Information Technology and Software Research Institute of CCID think tank, said that this way can enable small and medium-sized enterprises to never change, dare not change, cannot change, and become more competitive through digital transformation.
In the future, small and medium-sized enterprises will purchase digital services, just like buying electricity. Among them, large enterprises should also fulfill their responsibilities. Liu Song said that large enterprises should try to make the platform more professional, provide one-stop services, and enable small and medium-sized enterprises to carry out digital transformation at a cost of tens of thousands of yuan. Retail and service industries have experienced such a process in the past.
Wu Zhigang said that the integration of upstream and downstream with platform companies to create a digital supply chain can not only provide system services to SMEs, but also help companies find markets, which is also the value of the new infrastructure. (Finish)
