China News Service, Guiyang, May 26 (Zuo Yukun) "Without powerful 5G and industrial Internet, there would be no real big data. Without real big data, there would be no new generation of artificial intelligence, and no new generation of intelligence. Manufacturing, digitization, and networked intelligent manufacturing."

  On May 26, the 2021 China International Big Data Industry Expo "Science and Innovation China: 5G Drives Digital Transformation" high-end dialogue was held in Guiyang.

Zhou Ji, chairman of the "Science and Innovation China" consortium, former president of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, and academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, gave a speech on "5G+ Industrial Internet Empowering Manufacturing Digital Transformation and Intelligent Upgrading".

  What is smart manufacturing?

Zhou Ji explained that smart manufacturing is actually a big concept that includes three basic paradigms. The first generation of smart manufacturing mainly refers to digital manufacturing; the second generation mainly refers to digital networked manufacturing or "Internet + manufacturing"; The coming new generation of intelligent manufacturing, we call it digital, networked intelligent manufacturing, or intelligent manufacturing for short.

  What is the relationship between smart manufacturing and 5G+ industrial Internet?

Zhou Ji believes that using 5G as an enabling technology, 20% of the future market will be on the consumer side, and 80% of the market will be on the industrial side.

  "Data has become an indispensable factor of production, and its application will greatly promote the quality and efficiency of traditional industries." Zhou Ji said that the greater blue ocean of 5G lies in the Internet of Things and the Industrial Internet; the Industrial Internet is even bigger. The blue ocean lies in smart manufacturing and in digital China.

Therefore, smart manufacturing opens up broad applications and markets for 5G and the Industrial Internet.

  It is based on such a consideration that 5G and industrial Internet have become the top priorities of the new infrastructure.

  "Seizing the next fifteen years will be a critical period for the development of the core technologies of the new round of industrial revolution, such as 5G+ Industrial Internet and intelligent manufacturing." Zhou Ji believes that China's manufacturing industry can seize this once-in-a-lifetime historical opportunity and concentrate its strengths. Fight a strategic decisive battle, achieve strategic key breakthroughs and key leaps, and realize the breakthrough and leapfrog development of China's manufacturing industry.
