[Central China is on the rise: Jiangxi] "Copper Capital" Yingtan Accelerates Intelligentization: 5G + Internet of Things Helps Enterprises Transform and Upgrade

  China News Service, Yingtan, September 28 (Liu Lixin) The intelligent unmanned car transports copper foil raw materials and unwinds it accurately and accurately. The smart meters and wireless sensors on the production equipment can use the 5G network to realize real-time temperature, flow and other indicator data on the production line Transmitted to the large screen in the monitoring room...All of this appeared in the 5G+ intelligent chemical factory of Xin Bo Rui Technology Co., Ltd. in Yingtan City, Jiangxi Province.

  Xin Bo Rui Technology Co., Ltd. is a company specializing in the production of high-end copper foil. Huang Guohe, the general manager of the company, told the China News Network reporter that the intelligent factory built by 5G, Internet of Things and other technologies not only saves manpower and material resources, but also reduces energy consumption. It also increased the product qualification rate by at least 15% to 20%.

After the enterprise is fully completed, it will achieve an annual output of 40,000 tons of high-end copper foil products with an output value of more than 6 billion yuan.

  Yingtan, a small city located in the northeast of Jiangxi Province, was once famous for its titles of "Millennium Dao Capital" and "World Copper Capital".

Nowadays, it has successively become the country's first full-series IoT global coverage benchmark city and the country's first batch of 5G commercial cities, making "IoT Yingtan" and "Smart New City" another shiny new business card.

  In 2017, Yingtan City became a pilot demonstration city for the transfer and transformation of major national scientific and technological achievements of the national new-generation broadband wireless mobile communication network. The city seized the opportunity of special pilots to settle down, strengthened top-level design, and introduced a series of Internet of Things industry policy measures.

  The network is the foundation for the development of the Internet of Things industry.

  2017 is known as the first year of commercial use of NB-IoT.

When the world's first narrowband Internet of Things standard was released, Yingtan City advanced plans and proposed to build a smart city based on the mobile Internet of Things, and took the lead in the layout and construction of the NB-IoT network.

In 2019, 5G will usher in the commercial era.

Yingtan City has seized the opportunity to become the only non-capital city and non-first-tier city in the country, but it has been listed as a 5G pilot city by the three major operators.

  At present, the city of Yingtan has realized the coordinated development of 4G, 5G, NB-IoT and eMTC networks. It is expected to build 1,000 5G base stations this year. The coverage density and quality of the mobile Internet of Things network are leading the country.

  Also starting in 2017, Yingtan City, together with China Academy of Information and Communications Technology and Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, successively established 44 IoT platforms in Yingtan, including the Yingtan Internet of Things Research Center and Beihang Yingtan Research Institute, for technological innovation, achievement transformation, and testing. Certification and commercial applications provide full-chain support.

  "Our company deliberately moved its headquarters from Guangzhou to Yingtan. It was attracted by Yingtan's determination to develop the Internet of Things industry. It only took half a year from signing to production." A company in Yingtan High-tech Zone provides special drone hardware and integration. Wu Xiangyang, deputy general manager of PwC Eagle Eye, told reporters.

  In Wu Xiangyang’s view, drones are the terminal carrier of the Internet of Things, and future development is very closely related to the Internet of Things and 5G. "Once drones are truly combined with 5G and Internet of Things, they will be used in application scenarios. There have been many qualitative changes in China."

  Wu Xiangyang introduced to reporters that the company is cooperating with the Yingtan Municipal Government on a “5G+UAV+Road Maintenance” project, that is, to allow UAVs to undertake long-distance road inspection tasks and transmit real-time images to the city through the 5G network. Rear maintenance staff.

  The leading mobile IoT network has attracted a large number of IoT companies.

At present, Yingtan City has formed the entire upstream and downstream industry chain of the Internet of Things such as chips, modules, sensors, and smart terminals. The city has gathered nearly 300 core Internet of Things companies such as OFILM Energy and Sanchuan Wisdom. In 2019, the core and related industry businesses of the Internet of Things Revenue reached 40 billion yuan.
