5G has built the core basic capability of the Internet of everything, led the wave of the fourth industrial revolution, flexibly supported a variety of industry application scenarios, and met the differentiated needs of vertical industries. In this new era, 5G brings a feast to the industry.

On December 5, 2019, China Unicom officially released the world’s first full 5G industrial Internet end-to-end application in the “5G Pilot Demonstration Zone” in Xinchang, Zhejiang, which is based on the industrial Internet gateway based on Huawei 5G modules jointly developed by China Unicom and Huawei Dingqiao and Xiamen Four Xin.

SS4307T01 As the first place, Xinchang County is a mountainous county with limited resource endowment and insufficient geographical advantages. However, under the leadership of Zhejiang Provincial Party Committee and provincial government and the guidance of the provincial Intelligent Manufacturing Expert Committee, Xinchang County has embarked on the road of high-quality development by establishing the development path of an industrial county and an innovative county, taking informatization, digitalization and intelligence as the main starting point. In just 11 years, it has developed from a sub-poor county into a national top 100 industrial county and a national top 100 innovation county.

The end-to-end application of the full 5G industrial Internet was first successfully installed and tested in three Xinchang science and technology innovation benchmarking enterprises – Sling Automobile Bearings, Zhongcai Pipeline, and Xinchai Shares, and uploaded real-time production data through the 5G industrial Internet gateway, marking that the mature scale application of 5G has once again reached a new level.

Application first interpretation of speed

SS4307T01 China Unicom’s 5G Industrial Internet gateway is the world’s first 5G gateway applied in actual production scenarios, which can be used in harsh and complex factory environments to directly connect industrial machines and equipment for data acquisition of the Internet of Things terminal, and through real-time massive data transmission, so that managers can easily grasp the production and operation situation at different times and regions. The 5G industrial Internet gateway makes the data interaction between the machine equipment and the platform more efficient, and the characteristics of 5G ultra-high speed, ultra-large link, ultra-low delay, and secure transmission can be fully interpreted.

SS4307T01 The current uplink real speed of 118Mbps is nearly 10 times faster than the original 10-20Mbps; At the same time, 5G network can provide ubiquitous equipment connection nodes for production workshops, and strongly aggregate data in a two-pronged approach, ensuring timeliness, accuracy and integrity of production data, laying a solid digital foundation for intelligent production of enterprises, greatly reducing enterprise operation and management costs, and improving economic benefits.

Open fusion explore growth

SS4307T01 Full 5G industrial Internet end-to-end connection, perfect solution to industrial WIFI mutual interference, instability, slow transmission speed, not timely and other problems, to achieve real-time and reliable data interaction, strong support for industrial product design, MES, ERP, APS, product quality testing, AR/VR guidance equipment maintenance and other intelligent production management systems. It will provide the network foundation for the construction of 5G fully connected smart factories and provide ample impetus for the improvement of Chinese manufacturing.

Embrace the development of endowments and take off

“The release of the first full 5G industrial Internet end-to-end application is not only limited to the efficient extraction and transmission of data with large bandwidth, but also can form a network interconnection between machines, raw materials, control systems, information systems, products and people based on the overall capability of 5G cloud network.” Intelligent control, operational optimization, and production organization are revolutionized through comprehensive depth perception of industrial data, real-time transmission exchange, fast computational processing, and advanced modeling analysis.”

In the first year of 5G commercial use, China Unicom on the one hand continued to promote the integration of the 5G industry and the industrial Internet field, providing demonstration experience for the transformation and upgrading of traditional manufacturing industries. On the other hand, grasp the deep integration of 5G with various vertical fields. In the fast-growing new economy, new business forms, new parks, new towns, and new enterprises, further explore new 5G applications, empower enterprises to transform and upgrade, promote intelligent manufacturing into the fast lane, jointly promote the high-quality development of manufacturing, and help China’s real economy take off with 5G+ industrial Internet.
