On March 4, 2021, the high-profile Fourth Session of the 13th National People's Congress and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference was grandly opened in Beijing. At the two sessions, representatives from all walks of life gathered together to give advice and suggestions for the country's reform and development. This year's construction machinery industry representatives mainly focused on the development of the industrial Internet, the green and intelligent development of construction machinery, and the application of new energy technologies in the construction machinery industry.
1. The Industrial Internet is booming, but the bottleneck of the underlying core technology needs to be broken
In recent years, my country's industrial Internet has shown a trend of vigorous development. Leading construction machinery companies Sany, Xugong, Zoomlion, and Liugong all have their own industrial Internet platforms. In 2008, Sany Heavy Industry built China's earliest industrial Internet platform-Tree Root Interconnection, which monitors more than 230,000 construction machinery and equipment in real time. Up to now, Shugen Internet has completed the C round of financing, becoming another "unicorn" of the industrial Internet. In addition, XCMG's Hanyun platform, Zoomlion's Zhongke Cloud Valley, and Liugong's Seven Knowledge Numbers are all well-developed industrial Internet platforms in the industry.
However, Zhan Chunxin believes that the current development of my country’s industrial Internet still follows the thinking and model of the consumer Internet to a certain extent, and it does not reflect the attributes of the industrial Internet to a certain extent, which restricts the transformation and upgrading of my country’s industry. In the future, it needs to be focused and professional. , Experts exert their efforts in these three aspects.
One is focus. The industrial attribute is the essential attribute of the Industrial Internet, and the development of the Industrial Internet lies in the development of industry and the creation of industrial products.
The second is professionalism. The integration of industrialization and informatization in my country has achieved certain results in some fields, but there is still a certain gap in the underlying core technology of the industrial Internet field, and it is not closely integrated with manufacturing process, production line design, and enterprise management. How to accelerate the application of underlying technologies such as artificial intelligence, blockchain, Internet of Things, interconnection, 5G, and big data to products and production lines is a professional bottleneck that needs to be broken through in the current development of the industrial Internet.
The third is an expert. In general, the development of my country's industrial Internet has unique advantages and potentials, with a complete industrial system, huge industrial enterprises, and a leading Internet ecosystem. However, Internet technology talents are mostly concentrated in the field of consumer Internet, and there are few experts who understand both the Internet and industrial manufacturing, technology and products. At present, with the exception of a few leading manufacturing companies that have dedicated investment and "native" talent cultivation and research for business scenarios, many companies can only use the general platform of Internet companies in a "grafting" way, and there is a lack of experts in industrial interconnection. .
Zhan Chunxin believes that industrial interconnection should strengthen the industrial thinking of "focus, professionalism, and expert", and use interconnection technology based on the entire process and industrial chain of industrial manufacturing, starting from the bottom up, starting from the industrial end, starting from the product, and starting from Starting from the workshop, superimposing industrial thinking with new technologies to promote the development of the Industrial Internet.
2. New energy construction machinery has been slightly effective, and technological breakthroughs have become the focus of the industry
Excavators, cranes, and road rollers, which are widely used in construction, are actually huge sources of pollution. The exhaust emissions of a piece of construction machinery equipment are equivalent to 50-80 cars meeting the national five emission standards.
In recent years, my country has increased the prevention and control of emissions from non-road mobile machinery. The first is to strengthen the "licensing" of non-road mobile machinery, delimit non-road mobile machinery prohibition zones in cities across the country, and severely penalize those who exceed environmental protection standards. The second is to speed up the formulation of National IV emission standards for non-road mobile machinery, which will be formally implemented on December 1, 2022.
In this context, major companies have increased their efforts to develop and produce new energy construction machinery and equipment, including new energy excavators, electric cranes, etc., and have achieved greater results. However, the current new energy technology is not mature, and there are problems such as poor battery safety, short cruising range, and insufficient supporting charging equipment, which severely restrict the green development of construction machinery.
Yan Lijuan said that the current construction machinery research and development has changed from reverse research and development to positive research and development. Iterative product updates and core technology breakthroughs have become the focus of competition in the industry. Only when the core technology mastered is raised to a new height can the smooth realization of Mount Everest. The goal of the summit.
