The scale of the industrial Internet industry has exceeded one trillion

When asked how to promote the industrial Internet to enable the digital transformation of the manufacturing industry, Wang Peng, a first-level inspector of the Information and Communications Administration of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, pointed out that in the past five years, China’s industrial Internet has gradually formed its own understanding system, realization path and practical results from scratch. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology promoted the construction of nearly 2,800 5G virtual private networks and hybrid private networks, and high-quality external networks covered more than 300 cities across the country. The industrial Internet platform system was formed at a faster pace, and 32 key platforms connected more than 79 million units (sets).

The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has cultivated eight national industrial Internet industry demonstration bases, selected 381 pilot demonstration projects, and promoted the industrial Internet to penetrate into thousands of enterprises and parks, and accelerated the empowerment of thousands of industries. At present, the industrial Internet has been fully integrated into 45 national economic categories, helping the digital transformation and upgrading of major pillar industries such as manufacturing, energy, mining, and electricity.

At the same time, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology continues to promote the integration of industrial Internet applications, providing a key path for the digital transformation of individual enterprises, specific industries, industrial chains, and government digital governance.

Wang Peng pointed out that the industrial Internet extends to core links such as research and development and manufacturing, and “5G+ Industrial Internet” takes the lead in forming 20 typical application scenarios in 10 key industries such as steel and mining, promoting traditional enterprises to improve quality, reduce cost and increase efficiency.

The industrial Internet has driven the development and growth of emerging industries, breakthroughs have been made in tackling the shortcomings of key technological products, and the industrialization process has been accelerating. “5G+ Industrial Internet”, edge computing, digital twin and other emerging areas of innovation, led to the acceleration of new industrial equipment, network, software innovation, leading enterprises steadily improve competitiveness. The scale of emerging industries continues to grow, and the scale of the industrial Internet industry has exceeded one trillion yuan.

Wang Jianwei also said that the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has supported the Yangtze River Delta, Shandong, Guangdong, Chengdu-Chongqing and other places to create industrial Internet demonstration zones, and systematically promote industrial Internet infrastructure construction, integrated application and ecological cultivation. With enterprises as the main body and the market as the guide, the ecological construction of technological innovation has shown initial results, effectively helping the middle and downstream, large and small enterprises in the industrial chain to integrate and innovate.

Wang Peng pointed out that in the next step, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will play a good policy “combination”, closely follow the new development situation and new requirements, and study and introduce a number of new policies and measures to support the development of the industrial Internet and “5G+ industrial Internet” to help stabilize the economy and ensure security. We will fight a “tough battle” of technology, focus on persistent real problems and phased new topics, jointly promote the upgrading of the industrial foundation and the innovative development of the industrial Internet, strengthen the weak board and forge the long board, and further improve the ability of autonomy and control. And play a good industrial “team competition”, fully mobilize the enthusiasm of industrial enterprises, communications enterprises, equipment enterprises, industrial organizations, scientific research institutes and other parties, give full play to the advantages of all parties, and deepen cooperation in technology, construction, application, standards and other aspects.
