The rapidly developing industrial Internet platform is bringing changes to increase benefits and reduce costs for small and medium-sized enterprises.

In Anhui, Huamao Textile through the industrial Internet transformation and upgrading, the factory per 10,000 ingot workers reduced from 50 to less than 15 people, production efficiency increased by 50%; Three squirrels established a full-link digital integration development platform, reducing production costs by 20%.

STK-RPS-150PS P0973BP According to Niu Nutao, Secretary of the Party Group and director of the Anhui Economic and Information Department, in view of the slow digital transformation of small and medium-sized enterprises, Anhui has created a provincial government-led industrial Internet comprehensive service platform – “Antelope” industrial Internet platform, which has gathered 367 service providers, 3048 industrial apps, and more than 10,000 service enterprises.

Many places are actively deploying the Industrial Internet to promote the digital transformation of smes. The “Jiangsu Province Digital Economy Acceleration Action Implementation Plan” proposes to promote the cultivation and upgrading of provincial key industrial Internet platforms, promote the construction of industrial Internet benchmarking factories, and accelerate the cloud platform for small and medium-sized enterprises. Tianjin proposed that in 2022, it will build 100 new digital workshops and smart factories, accelerate the construction of industry-grade industrial Internet platforms, and add 2,000 enterprises to the cloud platform.

In recent years, China’s industrial Internet platform STK-RPS-150PS P0973BP has developed rapidly, enabling smes to transform and upgrade remarkable results. According to the data of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, through the implementation of the industrial Internet innovation and development project, more than 150 large-scale industrial Internet platforms have been cultivated, and more than 1.6 million industrial enterprises have been served by the platform, providing strong support for digital transformation.

“We will strive to promote the application of the industrial Internet in small and medium-sized enterprises, and provide a number of digital solutions with low cost, quick results and strong applicability for small and medium-sized enterprises.” Ministry of Industry and Information Technology small and medium-sized enterprise bureau inspector Ye Dingda said.

Stimulate the digital transformation of small and medium-sized enterprises

STK-RPS-150PS P0973BP It should not be ignored that the current digital transformation of small and medium-sized enterprises also face constraints such as insufficient basic capacity, high transformation costs, and security concerns, so it is necessary to create a good environment to solve the problem of “will not turn”, “cannot turn” and “dare not turn”, and stimulate the internal power of digital transformation of small and medium-sized enterprises.

“In general, smes have a low level of digitalisation.” Lu Chuncong believes that the foundation of digital transformation of small and medium-sized enterprises needs to be further improved, and many enterprises in the cloud stage lack effective data collection, and the level of data analysis is difficult to meet the needs of deep applications. The application scenario services of new business forms and models such as the industrial Internet for smes are still in the exploration stage, lacking typical demonstration applications for reference, and the transformation path of some smes is not clear.

In this regard, Lu Chuncong suggested that a number of small and medium-sized enterprises digital demonstration benchmarking enterprises should be cultivated in different industries, especially to increase the cultivation of specialized small and medium-sized enterprises STK-RPS-150PS P0973BP and specialized and new “small giant” enterprises, and promote the application of new digital technologies and new models. Build a demonstration platform for public services for smes in digital transformation, and open up data connectivity channels between different digital transformation platforms.

Wang Xiaoning, general manager of the Digital Transformation Research Center of CCID Consulting, told the reporter of Economic Information Daily that it should be guided from strategic guidance to industry focus, from infrastructure construction to platform construction and industry application to continue policy guidance, and improve the cognition level of small and medium-sized enterprises on digital transformation. Build a public service platform that provides common services to help enterprises build digital transformation capabilities. Driven by the digital transformation of leading enterprises in the industry, the digital development of upstream and downstream enterprises is driven by the digital collaboration of the industrial chain.

Moreover, the financial transfusion needs to be stepped up. Lu Chuncong said that it should be further encouraged to give credit to enterprises’ intelligent transformation and digital transformation, promote the establishment of special loans for digital transformation, and innovate intelligentized financial products in a targeted way.

The industry pointed out that many small and medium-sized enterprises have security concerns, and there is a problem of “want to turn and dare not turn”. Zhou Hongyi, founder and chairman of 360 Group, said that it is necessary to improve the digital security capabilities of small and medium-sized enterprises, encourage large enterprises to provide low-cost digital security services for small and medium-sized enterprises by means of policy encouragement, service subsidies, tax breaks and other ways, reduce the cost and threshold of small and medium-sized enterprises to enjoy digital security services, and provide security for the digital development of small and medium-sized enterprises.
