The ecology of evolution: from the transformation of the enterprise itself to the empowerment of thousands of industries
Not limited to a single industry, the deep integration and innovation of China’s digital economy and the real economy are promoting fundamental changes in production methods, enterprise forms and development models.
Zhou Yunjie believes that the fourth industrial revolution has changed the connotation of manufacturing, from inside the enterprise to outside the enterprise, and has extended to the whole society.
Therefore, the innovative practice of intelligent manufacturing of Chinese enterprises represented by Haier shown in the documentary is only the tip of the iceberg of intelligent manufacturing in China, and the intelligent manufacturing road with Chinese characteristics is to let the entire economy and society enter a new life cycle.
Based on nearly 40 years of manufacturing experience, Haier pioneered the Kaos Industrial Internet platform in 2017, which takes mass personalized customization as the core and introduces users to participate in the whole process experience, enabling digital transformation and upgrading of multiple industries. Kaos applies the concept of new industrialization development to concrete practice, extracts the basic laws of industrial production from Haier’s manufacturing genes, realizes the efficient allocation of production factors across industries and fields, and achieves innovative leadership in helping cities explore the transformation of digital economy.
On the enterprise side, Kaos meets the needs of “thousands of enterprises with thousands of faces” through lightweight applications and customized solutions of “low cost, fast deployment, easy transportation and strong security”. Campais was originally a small and medium-sized enterprise that contracted manufacturing for Australian RV dealers. In view of the pain points such as product homogeneity, high cost, long cycle and weak research and development capability, Kaos provided transformation consulting, lean transformation and mass customization mode transformation for Campais successively, helping it to link ecological resources and change its business model, reducing its procurement cost by 7.3% and delivery cycle by 43%. Revenue increased by nearly 5 times, profits also achieved rapid growth, and became an ecological operator of RV travel.
At present, Kaos has linked 900,000 enterprises and more than 80,000 service enterprises, and the “1+N+X” industrial Internet enabling model “Qingdao can break through, Shandong can promote, and the country can learn from”, among which, in Qingdao in 2022, Kaos has more than 4,500 enabling enterprises, with a new output value of more than 30 billion yuan.
Zhou Yunjie believes that industrial change depends not only on the technology itself, but also on whether its application can produce social value. Industrial Internet for the development of the manufacturing industry wings, but fly to where is more important, people-oriented, to create a high-quality better life, is the foundation of industrial change, but also the mission of The Times.
From manufacturing to intelligent manufacturing, the change of a word is the surging momentum of the transformation and upgrading of China’s manufacturing industry. In the future, where will China’s intelligent manufacturing go, Haier and other vanguard representatives of intelligent manufacturing China will be vividly interpreted in the exploration of intelligent manufacturing upgrade. More Chinese manufacturing enterprises will join in, cultivate new advantages and stimulate new momentum to promote a new type of industrialization, accelerate the building of a manufacturing power, and find a path of transformation with Chinese characteristics.
