Address the digital needs of smes
“Another development path for the industrial Internet is to provide common services for small and medium-sized enterprises, including digital procurement platforms, resource docking platforms, and internal enterprise management platforms.” Hu Jianbo said. In the Industrial Internet Innovation and Development Action Plan (2021-2023) issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, it is also clearly proposed to create digital platforms, system solutions, products and services that meet the needs of small and medium-sized enterprises, and drive the digital ability of small and medium-sized enterprises to improve and share orders, production capacity, resources and so on.
“For smes, we have launched a manufacturing cloud platform – U9 cloud, which uses big data, Internet of Things, artificial intelligence and other technologies to integrate cloud services to support their digital transformation.” Zhang Youming, general manager of the Industrial Internet Division of Yongyou Jingzhi, shared such a case with reporters. By accessing U9 cloud, Datong Gear Co., Ltd. has realized integrated management of production, supply and marketing, and opened up links such as people, objects, equipment and information systems. It can not only produce accurately according to the order situation, but also trace the quality of the product throughout the process. Effectively improve the management level and production efficiency of the company.
“Common platforms are less customized and relatively cheap to pay, allowing smes to complete phased digital transformation at a lower cost.” Zhang Youming told reporters that at present, the main demands of small and medium-sized enterprises for the industrial Internet are to reduce the cost of raw materials and obtain more high-quality orders through centralized procurement. Relying on the original branches to build a localized operation team, UF Jingzhi has completed the deployment of regional sub-platforms in many places in China and started operations to accelerate the pace of local enterprises on the cloud and platform.
How to help small and medium-sized enterprises to obtain orders is also a matter of concern for aerospace cloud network. “In view of the pain points of small and medium-sized enterprises with insufficient exposure and high offline promotion costs, we have specially launched a supply and demand docking platform.” Tang Tao introduced that on the demand side, thousands of enterprises have settled in the space cloud network, releasing 100 billion demand every year, effectively expanding supplier market resources; On the supply side, suppliers display products on the platform, promote brands, and improve marketing efficiency.
At present, although many small and medium-sized enterprises have a strong willingness to digital transformation, it is difficult to find a platform that can fully match their needs because they do not understand the industrial Internet. To this end, aerospace cloud network designed a “small and medium-sized enterprise service station” product to guide small and medium-sized enterprises how to go to the cloud and how to make good use of public services on the industrial Internet platform. “At present, the product has served more than 300,000 small and medium-sized enterprises in more than 10 industries, ensuring the security and stability of their supply chains while elevating the level of digitalization.” Tong said.
