With the increasingly mature cloud service ecosystem, and the gradual landing of the government’s encouraging policies for the transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing industry, the informatization investment of domestic manufacturing enterprises continues to increase, and the industrial Internet market has entered a stage of rapid growth. Since the transformation and upgrading direction of the manufacturing industry is intelligent production and mass customization, the development of the industrial Internet is the necessary way and basic link of industrial intelligence. Experts believe that the industrial Internet is an important means of intelligent and informational manufacturing in China, which will accelerate the transformation of “Made in China” to “intelligent manufacturing in China” and promote the high-quality development of the real economy.

Under the COVID-19 epidemic, a number of smart factories have taken the lead in “opening”, and these factories have some common characteristics, such as automated assembly lines, robots and advanced industrial Internet platforms, which can realize comprehensive intelligent production, personalized customization, network collaboration, and service extension.

The industrial Internet is an important means of intelligent and information-based manufacturing in China, which will accelerate the transformation from “Made in China” to “Made in China” and promote the high-quality development of the real economy.

We will promote the transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing industry

“In the process of building a manufacturing power in China, the industrial Internet plays the role of the underlying infrastructure. Since the transformation and upgrading direction of the manufacturing industry is intelligent production and mass customization, the development of the industrial Internet is a necessary way and basic link of industrial intelligence.” Said Sun Huifeng, deputy secretary general of China Computer Industry Association and president of CCID Consulting Co., LTD.

How can manufacturing enterprises “embrace” the Industrial Internet? Zhang Youming, general manager of the Industrial Internet Division of Yunyou Jingzhi, believes that there are roughly three paths: First, machine replacement, with the shortage of labor resources and the maturity of intelligent equipment, many industrial enterprises to build smart factories, improve production efficiency, and replace the traditional demographic dividend with machine dividends; The second is network running, carrying out business online with the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain through the Internet, or remotely controlling equipment to improve collaborative efficiency and optimize resource allocation capabilities; The third is the algorithm brain change, through massive data and machine learning, to improve the efficiency of enterprise decision-making.

In early February, Shuguang Tianjin factory received emergency demand from the epidemic area. With the “blessing” of intelligent production lines such as automated assembly lines, robots, and smart three-dimensional warehouses, hundreds of servers and other IT equipment quickly arrived at the frontline of epidemic prevention and control in just a few days. Zhang Yinghua, vice president of Zhongke Shuguang and chief engineer of intelligent manufacturing, said that the reason why Shuguang Tianjin factory can quickly resume production is thanks to the company’s long-term research and development and investment in the industrial Internet.

During the epidemic, JD.com used intelligent supply chains to help manufacturing enterprises purchase online, achieve reverse customization, and improve collaborative efficiency. For example, Jingdong has opened its online exclusive procurement platform to some manufacturing enterprises free of charge, which can not only be rapidly deployed online within 2 hours, but also supports procurement sourcing, online agreement, rapid exemption from audit, automatic reconciliation, independent billing and other functions, which will compress the traditional procurement process and cycle of manufacturing enterprises by 40%, greatly improving the efficiency of capacity recovery.

The industrial Internet has penetrated into many areas of the manufacturing industry, effectively promoting the transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing industry, and giving birth to new growth points. Typical large enterprises improve data utilization through integration, form a complete production system and management process application, and greatly improve the level of intelligence. Small and medium-sized enterprises through the industrial Internet platform, in a lower price, more flexible way to make up for the shortcomings of digital capabilities. A sound momentum for the integrated development of large, medium-sized and medium-sized enterprises and the primary, secondary and tertiary industries is accelerating.
