Digital transformation and green transformation occur simultaneously in China. Can the two integrate and resonate with each other and exert a "multiplier" effect?
Liu Zhiyong, general manager of the enterprise promotion department of Inspur Information, said in an interview with Zhongxin Finance recently that under the background that the digital world is deeply integrating with the physical world, enterprises should vigorously promote and apply digitalization and networking, and use computing power to boost intelligent carbon reduction. Deeply integrate digital transformation with green and low-carbon transformation.
The acceleration of the "dual carbon" goal has had a profound impact on China's economic development. Reducing carbon emissions and developing a green economy has become an urgent key task and development consensus for enterprises.
Industrial manufacturing is an important area of carbon emissions, accounting for about 70% of total emissions, which makes industrial green development a challenge.
It is worth noting that equipment energy consumption is the most important component of factory energy consumption. According to data, 85% to 90% of the energy consumption of the entire plant in large manufacturing plants is equipment energy consumption.
Therefore, for the majority of manufacturing enterprises, effective energy management of major energy-consuming devices is the focus of energy conservation and emission reduction. How to accurately calculate the total amount of carbon emissions, which equipment operation will have an impact on carbon emissions, and how to effectively control emissions , are real problems that need to be solved urgently.
Liu Zhiyong bluntly stated that in the field of industrial manufacturing, digital technology can be used to reshape organizations and processes, improve efficiency, reduce energy consumption, reduce costs and increase efficiency, and promote green and low-carbon transformation.
Based on this, Inspur Information and TCL Gechuang Dongzhi recently released an energy dual-carbon joint solution for the manufacturing industry, integrating the advantages of both parties in computing infrastructure technology, industrial Internet technology, energy dual-carbon intelligent application and other fields. The cloud-edge collaborative computing power platform conducts intelligent analysis and modeling of energy and carbon data, provides enterprises with optimized energy consumption solutions and energy structure, and promotes smart emission reduction to provide efficient and convenient one-stop services.
Liu Zhiyong pointed out that in order to promote the "dual carbon" goal in the industrial field, to achieve energy conservation and emission reduction, it is necessary to monitor the traditional OT data generated by machinery and equipment, data from smart meters and other instruments, as well as carbon data and related data generated in the monitoring environment. Metrics for detection, collection, analysis and reporting.
Because factories use a large number of machines and equipment, data processing should be as close as possible to the place where the data is generated, which makes edge computing more and more application scenarios, and more and more accepted by enterprises.
According to IDC (International Data Corporation), the number of global IoT connections will increase to 27 billion in 2025, the number of IoT devices will reach 100 billion, and the total global data volume is expected to reach 163 ZB in 2025, and more than 70 billion in the future. % of data and applications will be generated and processed at the edge.
The previously released "2021-2022 Global Computing Power Index Evaluation Report" shows that for every 1 point increase in the computing power index, the digital economy and GDP will increase by 3.5‰ and 1.8‰ respectively.
“We stand in the field of informatization. In the future competition between countries, the competition for computing power will definitely be great. From the perspective of GDP, the overall computing power of a country, including the number of servers, storage and The GDP of a country is proportional, the amount of storage represents the total amount of data, and the number of servers represents the ability to process data, which has a clear positive correlation with the national economy." Liu Zhiyong said.
