The 2023 Intelligent Expo Industrial Metauniverse Forum, held recently, deeply interpreted the key elements of the industrial metauniverse, supporting technology, scene application and industrial system structure, and discussed the new model of industrial metauniverse application development. The industrial metauniverse is a higher form of the development of the industrial Internet, and the development of the industrial metauniverse needs to be based on the great development of the industrial Internet. At present, the industrial Internet is accelerating the comprehensive connection of the industrial industrial chain, value chain and supply chain, building a new industrial service system, and effectively helping enterprises to improve production efficiency and reduce costs. In the new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial change to accelerate the tide, the industrial Internet plays a pivotal role.
China’s manufacturing system is complete, the market is large, the scene is large, the policy support is strong, the foundation of the development of industrial Internet is solid, at present, the industrial Internet has become an important force to accelerate the digital transformation of the manufacturing industry and support the high-quality development of the economy. However, it should also be noted that small and medium-sized enterprises are not strong awareness of digital transformation, the industrial Internet “thousands of enterprises”, the low degree of standardization, the lack of industrial coordination support ability, key technologies are subject to people, insufficient security, structural shortage of talent and other problems are still prominent, seriously restricting the high-quality development of China’s industrial Internet.
To promote the large-scale application of the industrial Internet, we must adhere to the combination of problem-oriented and goal-oriented, seize the key links such as technology, model, service, and supervision, and eliminate the difficulties and blocking points in the development of the industrial Internet. We will further accelerate innovation in key technologies, improve the industrial development ecology, improve new infrastructure, enhance the effectiveness of integrated applications, strengthen security capabilities, and upgrade the overall level of the industrial Internet.
Poly industrial Internet technology innovation and hardware change. We will improve an innovation system with enterprises as the main body and with collaboration between industry, universities and research institutes. We will make good use of mechanisms such as “revealing the list and taking the lead” and “horse racing”. We will accelerate the research on core technologies such as cloud computing, big data, optical display, and artificial intelligence, and advance the technological upgrading of key equipment such as master control chips, optical devices, sensors, and memory, so as to break through technical bottlenecks that restrict large-scale applications. We will accelerate equipment connectivity, innovative application of data, and security of equipment platforms. Accelerate the construction of new infrastructure such as digitalization and computing power, support industrial enterprises to use advanced technologies to transform networks, promote regional centralized construction of data centers, and improve the level of cross-regional computing power scheduling.
Deepen the large-scale integration of industrial Internet applications. Promote the innovation of industrial Internet application models in technology research and development, production, operation and maintenance, and supply chain management. Encourage basic telecommunications enterprises, Internet platform enterprises, industrial enterprises, etc., to play a “team game” for enterprise digital transformation. Promote the “chain network collaboration” between the industrial Internet and the industrial chain supply chain, and promote the popularization and application of the industrial Internet in key industrial chains such as electronic information and construction machinery. Encourage and support leading enterprises to drive upstream and downstream enterprises to integrate into the industrial Internet, and promote the majority of small and medium-sized enterprises to understand and use the Internet. Continue to deepen the application of “5G+ Industrial Internet” integration and innovation, and cultivate a number of “5G+ Industrial Internet” application benchmarking demonstrations. Promote the industrial Internet to take root in industries, industrial parks, and county economies.
We will foster an inclusive, prudent and moderately accommodative governance environment. Adhere to inclusive supervision and prudent supervision, customize regulatory rules and standards for new technologies, new formats, and new models that meet the industrial Internet development policy, promote the exercise of discretion in regulation, leave enough space for development, and adhere to the bottom line of quality and safety, so as to strike a balance between strengthening supervision and promoting development. For the bottom line issues such as data security, it is hard to supervise, while for the non-bottom line issues, it is flexible to give enterprises a certain fault-tolerance space and buffer time. Encourage enterprises to actively try and make bold innovations, carefully study, demonstrate, extensively investigate and solicit industry opinions before introducing regulatory measures, and adopt a tolerant and prudent attitude toward “trial and error”.
We will strengthen support for the development of the industrial Internet. Establish industrial Internet industry organizations, carry out industry exchanges, and provide testing, certification, standardization and other services. Explore the establishment of a diversified and multi-channel social investment mechanism, increase fiscal, tax and financial policy support, in particular, strengthen support for the digital transformation of small and medium-sized enterprises, simplify the declaration and approval procedures, and reduce institutional transaction costs. Establish an industrial Internet industry development fund to give financial support to key projects. Deepen the cooperation between industry and finance and the integration of industry and education, improve the professional system of industrial Internet disciplines, encourage key enterprises to sign industrial cooperation agreements with universities and research institutes, and accelerate the cultivation of high-level, composite, innovative and skilled talents. We will optimize policies for the introduction of international professionals, build platforms for the exchange of professionals, and broaden channels for the transmission of international professionals. Strengthen the publicity of digital transformation of the industrial Internet, and enhance the awareness of digital transformation of small and medium-sized enterprises. Accelerate the development of unified industrial Internet technology, data, platforms and product standards.
