However, the lag in the application of industrial Internet in some enterprises is not necessarily all in the enterprise.

Wu Qingsheng, a professor at Shanghai Jiaotong University, pointed out that it is difficult for most small and medium-sized enterprises to understand the industrial Internet on their own. Therefore, the third-party industrial Internet platform is an important way to help small and medium-sized enterprises to understand and recognize. Shared success stories can dispel the concerns of enterprises and help them find a clearer application path.

But in fact, the third-party platform for their own interests, will refuse to have the intention of industrial Internet transformation of the enterprise customers. Professor Wu introduced such a case: a container manufacturer has an urgent need in automation transformation, but the platform party contacted turned down the customer who came to the door. There are two reasons, one is that the number of container manufacturing enterprises is small, even if the project is successful, it can not bring much help to the promotion of the platform; The other is that the technical content of the industry is not high, so the payment ability and digital foundation of the enterprise are relatively low, and it is a high-investment and low-return project for the platform side.

3HAB9271-101B Professor Wu also added that third-party platforms are not willing to pick up companies whose application scenarios are too special. He once visited a company that ranked high in the automotive logistics industry. Due to the huge difference between logistics and ordinary logistics in the automotive industry, there is basically no third-party platform that has an in-depth understanding of this industry. Every platform the company approached declined. Finally forced the enterprise had to choose to own the main, the third party as a supplement to force the horse.

Professor Wu explained that although there are some third-party platforms that focus on vertical industries or segments, in addition to the industrial scenes they are familiar with, they have a limited understanding of the rest of the large number of scenes, so they encounter non-standardization, need to invest a lot of energy, and even the industrial Internet project that is redeveloped, is also unwilling to accept. Finally, enterprises can only sell themselves, invisibly piling up the cost and psychological 3HAB9271-101B threshold of their own exploration. What enterprises need is a professional and adaptable platform, and the platform prefers customers with strong versatility due to the requirement of profit, which constitutes a basic contradiction.

Professor Wu believes that due to the large number of domestic manufacturing enterprises, the level of uneven, so the process of industrial Internet transformation and upgrading will be relatively slow, at least for China will bring a period of 10 years, or even longer. He believes that eventually, a large enough market will be formed, and the versatile platform and the segmentation platform with strong industrial attributes can have enough living space, and at present, we should avoid over-emphasizing the universality, but should deepen the mining of application scenarios and pay attention to the value created for enterprises.

Liu Duo, president of the China Institute of Information and Communication Technology, suggested that in the process of digital transformation driven by the industrial Internet, large and medium-sized enterprises should choose different realization paths based on the concept of “adapting to local conditions” : large enterprises to explore intelligent breakthroughs; Medium-sized enterprises rely on the original hardware and software tools to focus on digital capability integration; Small enterprises focus on information lessons.

Yin Yangpeng, an engineer at the Institute of Information and 3HAB9271-101B Communication, also pointed out that the experience of other enterprises in applying the industrial Internet can be learned and used for reference, but it can not be directly copied. Domestic enterprises should avoid blindly following the trend, explore down to earth, and flexibly use the industrial Internet to solve their own development problems.
