With the acceleration of economic and social digital transformation and intelligent upgrading, the Internet of Things has gradually become an important part of new infrastructure.
Recently, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and other 8 departments jointly issued the "Three-year Action Plan for the Construction of New Internet of Things Infrastructure (2021-2023)" (hereinafter referred to as the "Action Plan"), clarifying that by the end of 2023, a new foundation for the Internet of Things will be initially established in major cities in China The number of facilities and IoT connections exceeded 2 billion.
Industry insiders said that the "Action Plan" injected a "cardio booster" for the development of the Internet of Things industry.
With the continuous improvement of relevant policies and technologies, China's Internet of Things industry is expected to achieve sustained, efficient and orderly development.
Policy support to promote development
In 2011, the development of the Internet of Things industry was written into the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" outline and officially upgraded to a national strategic position.
Since then, relevant departments have successively introduced a series of policies, continuously increased capital investment and formulated special action plans to help the development of the Internet of Things industry, and achieved positive results.
However, there are still some issues that need to be continuously resolved in terms of core technology and industrial ecology.
The "Action Plan" released this time directly faces the "pain points" in the development of the industry and proposes 12 key tasks for four major actions, including breakthroughs in innovation capabilities, and significant improvements in the level of key technologies such as high-end sensors and IoT chips and market competitiveness; The deep integration of the Internet of Things with 5G, artificial intelligence, blockchain and other technologies has achieved breakthroughs in industrialization; new technologies, new products, and new models of the Internet of Things continue to emerge.
The Action Plan clarifies that by the end of 2023, it is necessary to break through a number of key common technologies that restrict the development of the Internet of Things, cultivate a number of demonstration and driving forces in the construction and operation of the Internet of Things, and give birth to a number of replicable, extendable, and sustainable The operation and service model of the company has led to a number of industry applications with significant enabling effects and excellent comprehensive benefits, and a complete set of standards and safety assurance systems for the Internet of Things have been established.
Some experts said that the "Action Plan" not only made strategic positioning and top-level design for the industry, but also clarified five safeguard measures such as optimizing the collaborative governance mechanism, improving the talent training system, and increasing fiscal, taxation and financial support to ensure the development of the Internet of Things industry. Move steadily.
According to data released by the China Industrial Development Research Institute, the market size of China's Internet of Things will reach 1.66 trillion yuan in 2020 and is expected to exceed 2.12 trillion yuan by the end of 2022.
Driven by gradually mature policy support, the domestic Internet of Things industry will maintain rapid development.
Contribute to the construction of smart cities
At present, the construction of smart cities is a new trend in global urbanization, and the development of related technologies such as the Internet of Things will gradually promote the realization of the "Internet of Everything" between the "components" of the city.
In Siyang County, Suqian City, Jiangsu Province, the grassroots flood control forecasting and early warning system based on 5G Internet of Things technology ushered in a "real combat" test.
In July this year, the typhoon "Fireworks" landed in Jiangsu, and both the typhoon warning and flood warning were raised.
With the help of the flood control forecast and early warning system, the flood control staff of Siyang County monitors the water level and flow information of the main river and lake water level stations and gate stations in the county in real time through the screen, and makes flood control deployments in the first time.
According to reports, the county’s grassroots flood control forecasting and early warning system is equipped with 5G IoT data collection sensors at the front end, which can return information such as rainfall, water level, and stagnant water to the platform in real time, while introducing real-time data into the private network video conferencing platform for assistance Consultation on work arrangements to improve the accuracy of flood control commanders' early warning, forecast, analysis and judgment, so as to quickly make relevant arrangements.
“In the past, people had to be sent to the site for flood control and drainage, and the number of runs during the flood season was more frequent.” said Deng Limin, director of the Siyang County Flood Control and Drought Prevention Office. Mastering water regime and water level information saves a lot of manpower, and a mobile phone or a computer can achieve "water control on the cloud".
In order to better promote the construction of smart cities and digital villages, the Action Plan released this time clearly states that it is necessary to actively promote the transformation and upgrading of traditional infrastructure such as transportation, energy, municipal, health and health, and incorporate sensing terminals into the unified plan of public infrastructure. Construct and build a comprehensive management and data sharing platform to realize the digitization and virtualization of all elements of the city to build a new model of urban public governance.
There is huge room for innovation in the Internet of Things
In addition to contributing to the construction of smart cities, the Internet of Things is also accelerating the integration of related technologies such as 5G and artificial intelligence to enter people's daily life scenes and provide users with various smart life solutions.
Simulating the home environment by the sea and automatically cooking a delicious and healthy dish... At the 2021 Midea Intelligent Conference held recently, the future smart life experience created by the "Internet of Things+" has received widespread attention.
"We have carried out research around VR, AR, AI and home appliance somatosensory simulation and other technologies to build a new home experience that combines virtual and real." Wang Yueming, head of software development for Midea's Internet of Things, introduced that through the combination of home appliance physical functions and AI autonomous service capabilities, Combined with VR/AR technology, it can simulate the experience of different home environments such as the seaside, mountains, and space, and create an immersive feeling for users on the multi-sensory level.
In addition, in the field of security, the Internet of Things technology can empower systems such as monitoring, access control, and smoke alarms to achieve real-time monitoring of home security.
In the transportation field, emerging technologies such as the Internet of Vehicles and the integrated Internet of Things have also promoted the close integration of people, vehicles, and roads, improving the transportation environment, and further increasing resource utilization while ensuring traffic safety.
Industry insiders pointed out that compared with previous industry development guidance measures, the Action Plan released this time puts more emphasis on the development of smart cities, smart transportation, smart homes and other sub-fields, and proposes to form a number of independent innovations in related fields. Technical products and industry solutions with large-scale promotion value will point out the direction for precise policy implementation in the future.
As the key development direction of new technologies, the Internet of Things industry has huge room for innovation and development.
Some experts said that driven by many favorable policies and technical experience, the application of the Internet of Things in various industries will continue to deepen, more new products, new models and new application scenarios will be launched one after another, and the Internet of Things industry will continue to grow at a high level. develop.
