The industrial Internet platform is the product of the deep integration of a new generation of information technology and manufacturing industry, and is an important foundation to support the integrated development of the two, and the construction and promotion of the industrial Internet platform is the focus of policy planning such as the comprehensive implementation of the “Guiding Opinions on Deepening the Integrated Development of a New generation of information technology and Manufacturing Industry” and the “14th Five-Year Plan” for the Deep Integration of Information technology and Industrialization. In recent years, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has continued to promote the construction of the industrial Internet platform standard system, accelerate the scale popularization of the industrial Internet platform with standardization, lead the enterprise technological progress, management reform, model innovation with standards, and enhance the core competitiveness of enterprises. Up to now, there are more than 240 platforms with a certain regional and industrial influence, and the industrial Internet platform has been widely used in more than 40 key industries of the national economy, and the role of empowerment, value and wisdom has become increasingly prominent.

The “Industrial Internet Platform Selection Requirements” national standard provides a reference basis for the platform demand side to “select the platform”, help enterprises evaluate the level of industrial Internet platform empowerment, and choose the appropriate industrial Internet platform for themselves. The two national standards “Industrial Internet Platform Microservice Reference Framework” and “Industrial Internet Platform Open application programming Interface Functional Requirements” provide guidelines for platform providers to “build platforms”, guide enterprises to develop industrial microservices and application interfaces, accelerate the modeling of industrial knowledge and the interconnection of platforms, and lay the foundation for the construction of industrial Internet platform ecology.

In the next step, the Information Technology Development Department of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will guide the National Information Technology Standardization Technical Committee (TC28) and relevant drafting units to continue to do a good job in the development and promotion of key standards in the field of industrial Internet platforms, accelerate the innovation and development of industrial Internet platforms, and consolidate the technical base for China’s new industrialization construction.
