China News Service, Ningbo, October 11 (Reporter Lin Bo) The "14th Five-Year Plan" outlines the blueprint for "Building a Digital China".

Observe how Zhejiang, the pioneering province of digital reforms, can take advantage of the reforms and use digitalization to instigate reforms in various fields and aspects, and promote economic development to become the focus of attention from all walks of life.

  In the context of the strong development of the "digital engine", Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province, which has "numbers" in its heart, reshapes its competitive advantages, upholds the concept of "wisdom governance", uses digital technology as a means to focus on the future, and allows the industry to "think" more intelligently and continuously Improving the quality of government digital services also refreshes the face of members of this "trillion club".

  Insight into the smart picture from the "factory of the future"

  The production efficiency has been increased from 0.9 meters per second to 1.4 meters per second; the product voltage level has been increased from 500 kV to 1000 kV... Recently, it is located at the Eastern Cable East (Beilun) base in Beilun District, Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province. The Digital Future Factory (hereinafter referred to as the "Eastern Cable Future Factory") was officially put into production and will become an intelligent future factory for high-end marine energy equipment systems with an outdoor ocean simulation test field.

  The construction of the future factory is Zhejiang Province's first exploration in China.

Since 2015, Zhejiang has accumulatively identified 12 factories in the future.

Among them, Dongfang Cable Future Factory was one of the first selected companies.

  The future factory of Dongfang Cable covers an area of ​​500 acres, is equipped with a 20,000-ton dedicated dock, has a 40M smart pallet, and can bear 10,000T. It realizes the intelligent linkage of large-length and high-grade photoelectric composite submarine cables from production to shipment, from workshop to dock.

  "In addition, in the submarine cable design stage, due to different sea conditions, digital twins need to be used to improve the accuracy of submarine cable structural design and verify the performance of the product in the real environment." said Zhu Yinfen, deputy general manager of Dongfang Cable Future Factory.

  With the help of a new generation of information technology, Dongfang Cable's future factory rebuilds an integrated operation platform of ERP/MES/SCADA/PLC and other systems, so that the data of each system is interconnected, and the whole process of manufacturing and operation management is visualized.

  In fact, since the first "Factory of the Future" press conference in Zhejiang Province on December 23, 2020 opened the prelude to the construction of the "Factory of the Future" in the province, a group of pioneering companies have taken an important step in the transformation of smart manufacturing. .

  From manufacturing to "intelligent manufacturing", there are many Ningbo manufacturing companies in the presence of overweight "future factories".

  Not only Dongfang Cable, from Geely Automobile, Youngor, Consinee, to Bohui Chemical, Fangtai Kitchenware, Sunny Optoelectronics, Ecodi, from Deli Group, Bull Electric to Bank of China Battery, Jintian Copper, Samsung Electric, up to At present, Ningbo has 8 provincial-level "future factories" (including pilot and cultivation) and 16 municipal-level "future factories".

  In Consinee, a brand-new machine, the axle wheel rotates slowly, making a slight noise, and the entire "Future Factory" is about to complete the final commissioning.

  According to Mou Huangbo, the person in charge of the Consinee Smart Factory project, the newly built smart factory is the industry's first intelligent "black light" digital unmanned factory built by Consinee and Siemens of Germany.

The project has added 10 woollen production lines, which can produce 1,500 tons of high-end cashmere yarn per year, and the production efficiency will be nearly twice that of the normal 10 production lines.

  Looking at the present, through the "future factories", we may clearly see the "future" vision of Ningbo manufacturing enterprises with the help of intelligent manufacturing to continuously reduce staff, reduce costs, improve quality, and increase efficiency.

  Create a global digital trade highland

  As one of the second batch of comprehensive cross-border e-commerce pilot zones, Ningbo has more than 20,000 foreign trade companies. Relying on its unique seaport advantages and rich experience in international trade, Ningbo is constantly exploring new trade models.

  Under the epidemic situation, the value of a series of digital trade represented by cross-border e-commerce and digital service trade has rapidly become apparent. How can Ningbo activate the new engine of development?

  Digital breakthrough, this is one of the paths that Ningbo chooses.

  Take the port and shipping service industry as an example. During the epidemic, when containers were “difficult to find”, Ningbo Customs took the lead in implementing the “one declaration, one deployment control, one inspection and automatic release” empty container supervision model in the country, and joined forces with Ningbo Zhoushan Port The group upgraded the hardware equipment, integrated the empty container weighing ratio and other Internet of Things technology equipment with the smart bayonet, and finally realized the "non-stop" inspection of no abnormal empty containers, and quickly increased the circulation rate of empty containers in Ningbo.

  Today, Ningbo Zhoushan Port is building a 5G smart port benchmark for all scenarios. 5G technologies such as remote control of 5G port machinery, 5G unmanned horizontal transportation, and 5G smart tally are deeply integrated with the port production chain.

  There is no doubt that digital trade is a new form of global trade and a new engine for future trade.

  For Ningbo, an open economy with a developed manufacturing industry, relying on its port advantages, international logistics, cross-border e-commerce, customs declaration and inspection and other supporting services around "goods" have a huge market in Ningbo.

As a result, Ningbo has also clearly included six major themes including digital trade and digital port and shipping into the city's digital economy system construction implementation plan.

  In terms of digital trade, Ningbo will build a cross-border e-commerce online integrated service platform and other important carriers. By 2025, Ningbo's service trade import and export volume will strive to reach 200 billion yuan, of which the digital service import and export volume will reach 42.5 billion yuan.

  As cross-border e-commerce is advancing all the way, Ningbo is also actively paying attention to the "growth troubles" of small, medium and micro enterprises.

  In June 2020, under the guidance of the Ningbo Municipal Government, 22 leading enterprises and universities including TAG Heuer Group, Sino-based Ningbo Group, and Ausen jointly initiated the establishment of the country's first cross-border e-commerce alliance-China (Ningbo) cross-border e-commerce The Overseas Alliance hopes to use the "order + service + digital + innovation" model to gather superior resources to help small and medium foreign trade companies get an electric shock.

  According to statistics from the Ningbo Municipal Bureau of Commerce, since the establishment of the alliance, it has driven about 24 billion yuan in foreign trade exports.

In 2021, it plans to drive foreign trade exports to exceed 30 billion yuan and serve tens of thousands of small and medium-sized enterprises.

  Government digital transformation empowers enterprise development

  In the Ninghai County Science and Technology Center Building, Ningbo, as soon as you walk into the enterprise service center, the basic information, operating conditions, and service efficiency of the county’s enterprises are continuously scrolled on the large screen on the wall; Class appeal.

  This is a scene where Ningbo builds "Enterprise Service Communication" services based on high-frequency needs of enterprises.

  It is understood that currently on the "Enterprise Service Link" platform, there are multiple application sections such as policy shopping, quality shopping, financial shopping, and technology shopping.

The relevant person in charge of the enterprise clicks on the corresponding section to make a request, and the back-end service specialist will immediately check, accept and give feedback to effectively solve various key problems of small, medium and micro enterprises.

  For example, Ningbo Mashi Electromagnetic Technology Co., Ltd. is in urgent need of working capital turnover due to its expansion of production scale.

However, due to the small scale of the enterprise and no collateral, the investor is in a different place, and the procedures for applying for a loan from the bank are generally complicated.

The person in charge of the enterprise puts forward loan requirements through the "Financial Amoy" section of "Enterprise Service Communication", and the background automatically adapts to the bank and pushes the enterprise information to the bank.

In the end, the company can successfully get the loan without having to run once.

  According to the relevant person in charge of Ningbo Economic and Information Bureau, "Enterprise Service Communication" is one of the innovative applications launched by Ningbo based on the Zhejiang Enterprise Code. City) has opened a special area, a total of more than 110 featured applications such as "Help Enterprises", "Yonghui Finance" and "Yongshang Credit"."

  From "mass running errands" to "data running", in Ningbo, the government's digital transformation has precisely empowered the development of enterprises.

  The “Yongyiban”, a digital government service platform for benefiting enterprises and the people, launched in June 2020, is one of the typical examples of Ningbo's improvement of the quality of government digital services.

  According to the "Ningbo City's Three-Year Action Plan for Deepening the "Maximum Run Once" Reform and Promoting the Government's Digital Transformation (2019-2021)", the city will take three years to build a "One Net" basic network system and "integrated" big data Central system, build a "one-stop" digital application system, and create a government digital transformation system with Ningbo characteristics.

  As the first demonstration application project of Ningbo's urban brain, as of the end of August, the "Yongyi Office" has launched nearly 900 policies, with a total amount of more than 12.1 billion yuan.

The "Yongyi Office" platforms in all districts and counties (cities) are launched, and their own special services can be launched in the special area in the future.
