Recently, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued the “5G+ Industrial Internet 512 Project Promotion Plan”, the “plan” clearly defined the industrial Internet as one of the important application scenarios for the future 5G technology, and in the early stage of the 5G communication industry and application scenarios, it is necessary to do a good job of consolidating the foundation, exploring the path and improving the environment. Further promote the innovative development of 5G+ industrial Internet integration.

Interpretation of the “5G+ Industrial Internet” 512 Project Promotion Plan

21747-040-00 From the specific goals, the plan requires that by 2022, five industrial public service platforms should be built to build innovation carriers and public service capabilities; Accelerate the pioneering application of “5G+ industrial Internet” in vertical fields, and cover 10 key industries in the construction and renovation of internal networks; Create a number of “5G+ Industrial Internet” Intranet construction and transformation benchmarks and model projects, forming at least 20 typical industrial application scenarios; We will foster an innovative trend of 5G and industrial Internet integration and superposition, mutual promotion and doubling development, promote the digitalization, networking and intelligent upgrading of the manufacturing industry, and promote high-quality economic development.

21747-040-00 From the perspective of improving the capacity of the network key technology industry, the “plan” focuses on the research of core technical standards, the research and development and industrialization of integrated products, and the deployment and implementation of network technology and products. In terms of strengthening the “5G+ Industrial Internet” technical standards, the “plan” requires strengthening the network guarantee of the industrial Internet, and actively building the research and development of high-precision indoor positioning, high-precision time synchronization, super uplink, deterministic network and other technologies under the 5G network, because the industrial Internet has higher requirements for large bandwidth and low delay. Therefore, the above technologies can give play to the advantages related to 5G networks and improve the network carrying capacity; At the same time, in terms of standard formulation, the “Plan” requires that platform organizations such as China’s National Industrial Internet Standards Coordination and Promotion Group, general group and expert advisory Group, and China Communications Standardization Association (CCSA) should be relied on to improve system standards and formulate industrial standards that meet the actual situation in China. Due to the many links involved in the industrial Internet, there are higher requirements for specific components such as sensors, chips and modules, and network management, so the “plan” is also proposed to increase the research and development and production of related products to ensure that the future 21747-040-00 meets the growing needs of the enterprise side. In terms of network technology and product deployment, the Plan emphasizes the reasonable configuration of the 5G network in the factory, proper network deployment and network configuration, business deployment and data security. Because the network architecture of 5G network and industrial Internet is relatively open, network security is one of the biggest pain points in the implementation process, and only by starting from the fundamental network architecture and network configuration can the industrial Internet be better managed and maintained.

21747-040-00 From the perspective of improving the innovative application capability of “5G+ industrial Internet”, the “plan” pointed out that it is necessary to promote the progress of the four major works of “building a platform”, “selecting industries”, “digging scenarios” and “pushing tests”. In terms of platform construction, the “plan” points out that the public service platform is a new development of the industrial Internet, and requires the creation of five platforms to promote, test, build, and transform the industrial Internet, so as to increase the public service capacity of relevant enterprises. In terms of industry screening, the “plan” points out that it is necessary to select the upstream industry chain with universality, deeper integration and greater influence for pilot demonstration; In the application scenario selection, it is necessary to refine and create 20 replicable industrial Internet application scenarios; In terms of the construction of test beds, the “plan” proposes the integration of “production, university and research” and encourages all parties to join the work of industrial Internet research and development, testing and evaluation.

21747-040-00 From the perspective of improving resource supply capacity, the “Plan” proposes to build a “5G+ Industrial Internet” project library, cultivate “5G+ Industrial Internet” solution providers and build a “5G+ Industrial Internet” supply resource pool, and do related reserve work for the industrial Internet scenario after the future 5G network is ready.

Finally, the “plan” also requires strengthening publicity and guidance and experience promotion, first of all, to promote the emerging industrial concept, so that more relevant departments and relevant enterprises understand the “5G+ industrial Internet” model, and gradually promote the service in the process of relevant scenes continue to mature, and summarize the development model suitable for China’s “5G+ Industrial Internet”.

5G+ Industrial Internet outlook: The demand for B side shows a blue ocean trend

21747-040-00 The development of 5G communications industry is in full swing, the technology has been perfected, the standards are close to global unity, and the first year of 5G has arrived. From the perspective of our country, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has carried out orderly work from spectrum allocation to operator base station construction and pilot demonstration. 5G defines three major mobile network scenarios, namely, high speed, large bandwidth and low latency.

The industrial Internet is a more important application scenario under the 5G network, which can play a more incisive advantage under the characteristics of large bandwidth and low delay of 5G, which can provide a more intelligent working environment for modern factories and improve the work efficiency of key industrial fields. In 2018, the global industrial Internet market reached 805.91 billion US dollars, an increase of 5.5% year-on-year; In 2018, the scale of China’s industrial Internet market exceeded 500 billion yuan, an increase of 13.8% year-on-year, which is a good trend, and the proportion of hardware equipment, network products, software and platforms, industrial information security and other subdivisions decreased in turn, indicating that China’s industrial Internet is currently in the stage of consolidating the foundation, network planning and construction and hardware equipment procurement is the top priority.

At present, the 5G network will be more used in the landing of B-side application scenarios in the future, and play an irreplaceable advantage in industrial automation in factories, government processing, data applications, and related scenarios combining VR/AR and other technologies. As one of the key development scenarios of the industrial Internet in China, the relevant departments have carried out a variety of policy guarantees for it in 2019, including the establishment of the Industrial Internet industry alliance, and the introduction of industrial Internet-related planning documents by provinces and cities. It can be seen that the industrial Internet application scenario under the 5G network will become the development direction of intelligent factories and intelligent assembly lines in the future, with great development potential and great opportunities. Operators, equipment manufacturers, terminal manufacturers, including intelligent hardware, network operation and maintenance, industrial Internet security related manufacturers should pay extensive attention to this field in the future.
