Industrial Internet is not an industrial Internet, but an industrial Internet
As a key support for the digital, networked and intelligent development of the manufacturing industry, the concept of the Industrial Internet has immediately attracted great attention in various fields around the world. "To further implement the industrial Internet innovation and development strategy, and systematically promote the construction of industrial Internet infrastructure and data resource management system". At present, the industrial Internet has entered the industrial practice from the concept of discussion, and in the practice of popularization, I believe that many friends continue to improve the understanding and understanding of the positioning, path and value of the industrial Internet.
Industrial Internet is a new infrastructure, application mode and industrial ecology deeply integrated with the new generation of information and communication technology and industrial economy. Through the comprehensive connection of people, machines, materials, systems, etc., it has built a new manufacturing and service system covering the whole industry chain and the whole value chain, providing a way to realize the digital, networked and intelligent development of industry and even industry, and is an important cornerstone of the fourth industrial revolution.
01 Important opportunities for industrial overtaking and manufacturing enterprise transformation and upgrading
Industrial Internet is not a simple application of the Internet in industry, but has a richer connotation and extension. It is based on the network, platform as the center, data as the element, and security as the guarantee. It is not only the infrastructure for industrial digitalization, networking, and intelligent transformation, but also an application model for the deep integration of the Internet, big data, artificial intelligence and the real economy. It is also a new format and new industry, which will reshape the enterprise form, supply chain and industrial chain.
From the perspective of technical architecture, the industrial Internet includes the device layer, network layer, platform layer, software layer, application layer and the overall industrial security system. The industrial Internet aims to realize the comprehensive interconnection of "people, machines and things", emphasizing digitalization; In the industrial Internet system, industrial software is the soul and the center of overall control.
The industrial Internet has become a critical place for developed countries to promote the "reindustrialization" strategy and seize the commanding heights of a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial reform. It is also an important opportunity for China to further promote the supply side structural reform, help China's industry to transform new and old dynamic energy into digital, networked and intelligent energy, and realize lane changing overtaking and transformation and upgrading of manufacturing enterprises.
02 Three high-end manufacturing application scenarios of industrial Internet
First of all, let's look at what is high-end manufacturing? High-end manufacturing is different from medium and high-end manufacturing and medium and low-end manufacturing in that: first, the production process is basically continuous, such as process manufacturing; second, it requires efficient coordination of many different large-scale equipment, which is a complex process. There may be hundreds of different sub-production processes in high-end manufacturing such as petroleum, electric power, petrochemical, optoelectronics, semiconductors, etc. It is necessary to ensure that each production process is strictly controlled to complete the final expected output; the third is a highly automated production process, which can automatically respond to the control process in real time according to various working condition parameters collected in real time; fourth, the quality, production capacity, risk, cost and other fine management requirements are extremely high, the need for very accurate process control and results inspection mechanism.
03 The Role of Industrial Internet in New Industrialization
Li Xiaohua, a researcher of the Institute of Industrial Economics of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, proposed that from the current level of development, China's industrial Internet development still faces problems such as the level of independent innovation needs to be improved, equipment connectivity is not deep enough, and the level of enterprise digitalization varies greatly. At the same time, it should be noted that China has favorable conditions for the development of industrial Internet. First of all, China's digital economy is at a high level of development, leading the world in terms of digital infrastructure, digital technology development, and the number of large Internet platforms. Secondly, industrial Internet application scenarios are rich. China has the world's largest industry and manufacturing sector, with many sub sectors ranking among the top in the world in terms of scale. At present, China's industrial Internet platform construction has made positive progress. According to the report of China Industrial Internet Research Institute, by the end of 2022, there are more than 240 influential industrial Internet platforms, more than 81 million connecting devices and more than 600000 industrial APPs in China. In addition, China is highly motivated to develop industrial Internet. In order to cope with the changes in factor conditions, market demand and competitive environment, manufacturing enterprises have taken digital and intelligent transformation as the main means of response. Large manufacturing enterprises have established their own industrial Internet platforms and opened them to the outside and inside of the industry after the application is mature; Internet enterprises will empower the real industry as a new growth point, and promote the application of advanced technologies such as big data, artificial intelligence, blockchain, etc. in the manufacturing industry; Relevant ministries and local governments have also formulated various policies to support the development of industrial Internet and promote the digital transformation of manufacturing enterprises.
Currently, digital technology and digital economy have become key areas of industrial competition among countries around the world. It can be predicted that China's industrial Internet has broad prospects for development. The development of industrial Internet will strongly promote the integration of data and reality in the field of manufacturing, support the high-quality development of China's manufacturing industry and the construction of a manufacturing power, and ensure the realization of the goal of new industrialization.
