PXIE-1071  The reporter learned from the “2020 China 5G+ Industrial Internet Conference” press conference on the 26th that the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is currently preparing a new stage of industrial Internet innovation and development action plan, and “5G+ Industrial Internet” is the focus of promotion. In the next step, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will promote industrial enterprises to use 5G and other new technologies to upgrade and transform industrial production networks, support enterprises to build 5G fully connected factories, and cultivate industry leaders, public service platforms, and solution providers.

PXIE-1071  In November last year, the “5G+ Industrial Internet” 512 project promotion Plan issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology clearly pointed out that by 2022, five industrial public service platforms will be created, covering 10 key industries and forming at least 20 typical industrial application scenarios. The “Notice on Promoting the Accelerated Development of the Industrial Internet” issued in March this year further detailed the work requirements and promotion measures for the “5G+ Industrial Internet” in 2020.

PXIE-1071  Liu Liehong, vice minister of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, revealed at the conference that in the past three years, the implementation of the industrial Internet innovation and development strategy, the development of China’s industrial Internet has entered the fast lane, the construction of new infrastructure has been promoted rapidly, the application of integration and innovation has been deepened, and the scale of industrial ecology has continued to grow. In terms of 5G commercial use, a total of 690,000 5G base stations have been opened, and more than 160 million connected users are in the world’s leading position. The industry is actively exploring “5G+ industrial Internet”, the number of base stations applied by the industry is more than 32,000, and six typical application scenarios such as data acquisition and perception, high-definition video, machine vision, accurate remote control, field assistance, and digital twins have emerged.

PXIE-1071  “Promoting the integrated development of ‘5G+ Industrial Internet’ is a high-level, large-scale systematic project, which is still in the exploration stage, and faces problems such as weak digital foundation, insufficient industrial support capacity, and integration application that needs to be deepened.” Han Xia, director of the Information and Communications Administration Bureau of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said that at present, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is preparing a new stage of industrial Internet innovation and development action plan, “5G+ industrial Internet” is the focus of promotion, and will continue to adhere to the decisive role of the market in resource allocation, and promote the construction of new infrastructure and integration of innovative applications.

PXIE-1071  The reporter also learned from the meeting that in the next step, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will continue to promote the implementation of industrial Internet and 5G innovation and development, first, consolidate the network foundation, and promote industrial enterprises to use 5G and other new technologies to upgrade and transform industrial production networks; The second is to improve the industrial ecology and support the research and development and industrialization of key technologies and products such as 5G industrial chips, modules, and gateways; Third, deepen the integration of applications, accelerate the popularization of typical applications of “5G+ industrial Internet”, serve more real economy industries and fields such as manufacturing, energy, transportation, and medical care, and continue to expand new technologies, new models, and new forms of business.

Localities are also speeding up their layout. Cheng Jieru, deputy secretary-general of the Wuhan Municipal People’s Government, said that Wuhan is taking the construction of the country’s first-class 5G network as the guide to accelerate PXIE-1071  the construction of the national industrial Internet technology source area, application demonstration area and industrial agglomeration area. At present, 20,000 5G base stations have been built, and more than 30,000 5G base stations will be built next year to ensure full coverage of 5G network in the city. At the same time, focus on the construction of industrial Internet network identification innovation center, Industrial Internet network research center, etc., to create more than 10 industrial Internet dual cross-platform and industry-level platforms.
