Shanghai Huafeng microfiber fortunately, 5 years ago was “forced” to participate in the industrial Internet identity analysis, so that they can play the first hand in the surging tide of digital transformation of manufacturing industry.

Industrial Internet identification analysis, this new technology for the production of scars, so that different machines to achieve “dialogue”, seems to have become a new type of industrialization of the strategic must contend.

Microfiber leather, Huafeng microfiber fist products, this new material is known as the “Rolls-Royce of fabrics”, mainly used at home and abroad big-name professional equipment, clothing bags and new energy vehicle interior. Huafeng’s annual output of microfiber leather is 150 million meters, and the global market share is the first, but it suffers from the confusion of “bad money driving out good money” – from upstream raw materials to downstream processing, trade, retail, the more links, the more advanced the materials, the greater the risk of counterfeit goods.

Five years ago, learned that the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology industrial Internet identification analysis system construction plan, Huafeng decided to take the lead in joining, starting from a pair of labor protection shoes, linking the upstream and downstream, building from raw materials to finished products full code identification, upstream and downstream each other “recognize” the digital road, to realize the labor protection shoes “past life” scan code, the industry chain of counterfeit inferior production nowhere to hide.

“Labor protection shoes are only the tip of the iceberg in our business line, if Huafeng raw materials open the whole chain of the whole network, the snowball effect is more obvious.” Huafeng microfiber deputy general manager Liu Cong said.

What is Industrial Internet identity Analysis? Liu Cong made an example – in the past, the people, machines, materials and methods of the upstream and downstream of the manufacturing industry had “dialects” and could not understand each other. The industrial Internet identification analysis system gives each product, parts, equipment and virtual objects a national mutual recognition and unique “digital ID card”, so that each production factor speaks “Mandarin”.

This new infrastructure, which is independently planned and constructed by China, includes the national top node, secondary node, enterprise node, recursive node and other levels, and has completed the construction of the “5+2” national top node system composed of five national top nodes in Beijing, Shanghai, Chongqing, Guangzhou and Wuhan and two disaster recovery nodes in Nanjing and Chengdu. Secondary nodes, mainly to the industry chain master, regional third-party service leading institutions, such as Huafeng Microfiber group specifically incubated Huafeng Chuangxuan, as a professional information technology service company, to become the first access to Shanghai’s “top node” enterprise. As of May this year, Shanghai has applied for 13 chain master enterprises such as Huafeng Chuangxiang, State Grid Shanghai Electric Power, Shanghai Aviation Manufacturing, and State Control biomedicine. Enterprise nodes are the upstream and downstream partners that follow the chain master.

“Product quality traceability, industrial chain collaboration, data intelligent services, carbon footprint accounting, etc., are typical application scenarios of the industrial Internet identification analysis system.” Xu Wei, director of Shanghai Operations Center of Industrial Internet and Internet of Things Research Institute, China Academy of Information and Communications Technology, said.

For example, in a fiber optic cable production workshop, the smart transfer car quickly finds the required cable accessories from hundreds of different colors and specifications on the shelf, and accurately sends it to the next process, the secret is that it can quickly read the “digital ID” of the fiber optic cable distribution plate and accessories.

On the other side, the production line is working on a British order, but there is an urgent Indonesian order. Ten minutes later, Indonesia succeeded in “cutting in line”. In the past, this was something that factories dared not easily challenge. Due to the different requirements of different orders, the line change involves the parameter change of the production line, material preparation, etc., which is often “one hour of production and most of the day of line change”. But now, in the context of “Mandarin”, production line equipment, materials, formulas and other data, into a string of unified standards, the world’s unique and easy to identify identification code, small-scale, diversified, flexible production with controllable delivery cycle finally popular.

The greater value of the interconnection between upstream and downstream marks is that when the inspection data of upstream products can be read by downstream factories, the comprehensive inspection of downstream factories can be adjusted to random inspection or non-inspection, greatly achieving enterprise-level cost reduction and efficiency. When the downstream demand changes, the upstream can quickly sense, and then agile deployment of their own production capacity.

It is understood that from the national point of view, 306 industrial Internet identification analysis secondary nodes have been built, covering 31 provincial administrative regions and 42 industries in the national economic classification, and more than 260,000 access enterprise nodes. Among them, the number of secondary nodes in Jiangsu, Guangdong and Liaoning leads the country, with 58, 32 and 30 respectively. As a top node, Shanghai’s service scope covers three provinces and one city in the Yangtze River Delta. It has access to 86 secondary nodes, 156,000 access enterprises, and the cumulative number of registration and analysis indicators rank among the top in the country. However, it is obvious that there is a trend of catching up with students all over the country, and the number of registration and analysis of the national logo has continued to surge since this year, and the number of registrations in the field of integrated circuits has exceeded 40 billion and the amount of analysis has exceeded 25 billion.

“Logo analysis as a new digital infrastructure, like building a highway, only a section at the entrance of the village is not effective.” Only when criss-crossing, weaving webs, integration and unification are achieved, the value of deeply promoting industrial digital transformation and supporting high-quality economic development will become more apparent.” Xu Wei said.
