China’s platform should take the “base empowerment + tool promotion + market traction” trinity of ecological development route

330130-080-12-05 Since 2017, China’s platform industry has achieved remarkable results, the scale of the industry has continued to expand, the number of platforms with a certain influence has exceeded 240, and the number of state-level “double span” platforms has expanded to 50. Compared with foreign countries, China’s platform industry is dominated by manufacturing enterprises (the number accounts for nearly 50%), with obvious advantages in resources and data, but insufficient technical product capabilities. In the next step, China should fully base on the advantages of basic endowments, explore and promote the ecological development strategy of “base empowerment + tool promotion + market traction”, and accelerate the transformation of the platform industry from large to strong.

330130-080-12-05 The first is to encourage ICT enterprises to strengthen the “base empowerment”, comprehensively improve the platform open framework, industrial data model management middleware, low code development tools and other base technical capabilities, reduce the cost of cloud native development of industrial apps, accelerate application innovation and service provider ecological aggregation. For example, Huawei creates a data model driven engine (DME), which abstracts industrial physical assets and business objects into simple metamodel, builds model association relationships, and realizes natural cohesion of instance data, which can improve the efficiency of cloud native development by more than 9 times, and currently hosts more than 30 cloud native applications from product design to supply chain management. Alibaba builds the AliOS Things Internet of Things operating system, provides the operating system kernel and collaborative framework, connects with the platform in real time, and supports the operation of cloud-native production management software such as equipment predictive maintenance, remote control, and intelligent analysis developed by third parties.

330130-080-12-05 The second is to support manufacturing enterprises to focus on “tool enhancement”, continue to promote the precipitation of business and mechanism knowledge and the integration of “data + mechanism” model, accelerate the key technology tool products of the research platform, create the mace industrial APP, and realize the application of the industry, region and field. For example, Meiyun Intelligent data relies on its own “three generations”, “T+3”, MBS, Meiyun marketing, Wusuwuzhi, C2M and other manufacturing knowledge, self-developed simulation MES, PLM, SRM, GPM, IAM, APS and other industrial software suites, and continues to iterate 4 middle platforms and 5 tools/sub-platforms, creating the manufacturing whole value chain cloud SaaS service capability. Relying on the group’s experience in building materials, coal chemical industry and steel industry, Tianrui Credit Technology integrates multi-dimensional data, information and knowledge to train multi-modal large models. In the fields of industrial automation, manufacturing, energy and other fields, Tianrui Credit Technology realizes the monitoring of the running state of factory equipment, fault prediction, anomaly detection, quality control and real-time monitoring of manufacturing process.

330130-080-12-05 The third is to guide e-commerce enterprises to accelerate the “market traction”, integrate the order resources of manufacturing enterprises, extend the layout of lightweight SaaS business tool services, and further promote the innovation of value-added business services such as personalized customization, shared manufacturing, service innovation, supply chain logistics, and finance. For example, Zhijing technology relies on Baibu, full cloth and Tiangong platform to open up the entire textile and garment industry chain, on this basis, superposition IoT, MES and other lightweight tool service capabilities, to “big data +AI+ intelligent hardware” to achieve accurate docking of the textile industry chain, flexible production, has now gathered more than 20,000 buyers, service weaving factory more than 8,000, connected loom more than 600,000. Based on the professional insight on the demand side and the huge pulling ability, Jingdong uses C2M reverse customization, Jingcaiyun, industrial quality inspection, energy carbon management, digital warehouse, one thing, one code, Jingbei cloud and other supply chain products to help improve the efficiency of the industrial chain supply chain, and promote production and marketing coordination and flexible manufacturing.

330130-080-12-05 With the global platform industry entering a new stage of large-scale expansion, the technical product capability has become the key to shaping the core competitiveness of the platform. Foreign giants have a first-mover advantage and a good product base, and have occupied a leading position in the global market. While China’s platform is experiencing a critical period of transformation from quantity growth to “quantity and quality”, standardizing platform development and improving product capabilities is the primary task at present. By stimulating and releasing the ecological synergy of ICT enterprises, manufacturing enterprises, e-commerce enterprises and other multiple entities, it is expected to build an optimization iterative loop of “data resources” and “technology tools”. Thus accelerate the platform productization process. In the future, the platform will deeply integrate with industrial mechanisms and artificial intelligence to achieve a comprehensive upgrade of technical product capabilities.
