Since the State Council issued the "Guiding Opinions on Deepening the" Internet + Advanced Manufacturing "Development Industrial Internet" in November 2017, many policy measures have been issued from the central to the local governments. Under the guidance of policies and with the joint efforts of all parties concerned, China The development of the Industrial Internet has made a good start.
Recently, Yu Xiaohui, Vice President of China Information and Communication Research Institute and Secretary-General of the Industrial Internet Industry Alliance, accepted an interview with the reporter of China Economic Weekly on related issues, and introduced the development of China's industrial Internet from the aspects of the overall pattern, value application, and future prospects. Related situation.
"China Economic Weekly": What is the overall status of the domestic industrial Internet development? Has it highlighted its business?
Yu Xiaohui: With the in-depth advancement of China's industrial Internet innovation and development strategy, the construction and promotion of industrial Internet continues to boom from the central to local governments, the three major systems of industrial Internet have been basically completed, emerging industries have continued to grow, and the level of industry applications has continued to improve, specifically reflected in four aspect:
First, the construction of network infrastructure has achieved initial results, and the level of interconnection continues to increase. The construction of low-latency, high-reliability, and large-bandwidth enterprise external networks undertaken by basic telecommunications companies has accelerated. Over half of the production system (OT) network coverage in more than half of large industrial enterprises has reached more than 80%, and more than 90% of industrial enterprise management systems ( IT) Network coverage is above 80%. Logo analysis The functions of top nodes in five major countries have been continuously improved, 55 secondary nodes have been online, and the number of logo registrations has exceeded 3.7 billion. At the same time, China took the lead in carrying out research on the application of 5G and industrial Internet integration, combined with artificial intelligence, edge computing / cloud computing and other technologies, and formed the largest number of leading application cases in the world, and completed the world ’s first in the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) Establishment of industrial Internet network standards.
The second is that various entities actively carry out platform construction, and the strength of typical platforms is gradually improved. ICT companies, manufacturing companies, industrial technology solution providers, professional service companies and many other entities have entered the platform, and there have been ten cross-industry and cross-domain industrial Internets such as Haier, Ali, Aerospace Cloud Network, Huawei, Tree Root, XCMG, and UFIDA. On the platform, the average number of industrial equipment connections of the top ten double cross-platforms reached 800,000, the number of industrial APPs reached 3,500, and the number of service industrial enterprises exceeded 100,000.
The third is the continuous deepening of security practices and the vigorous development of the security industry. The construction of the industrial Internet security monitoring and situational awareness platform at the three levels of national, provincial and enterprise linkages has been accelerated. The national platform has been integrated with 21 provinces and cities to conduct real-time monitoring of hundreds of key platforms and more than 8 million online devices.
Fourth, the integrated application system has been initially established, and the industry empowerment role has gradually emerged. On the one hand, a group of large manufacturing companies have applied big data and artificial intelligence technology to product development, quality testing, equipment control, energy consumption management, business operation and other business areas, which has brought about a significant increase in efficiency and a significant cost reduction. For example, based on high-performance computing and artificial intelligence technology, a car company shortened the collision simulation time from 30 hours to 10 hours, greatly reducing the development cycle. On the other hand, the low-cost informatization model based on the Industrial Internet helps small and medium-sized enterprises to quickly realize the popularization of informatization, and the management level and competitiveness of enterprises have been significantly improved. Through the use of the Industrial Internet, SMEs have integrated their production capabilities into a socialized production system, realized stronger order and loan acquisition capabilities, and improved their survivability. In addition, new models such as network coordination, personalized customization, and integration of industry and finance based on the Industrial Internet are constantly emerging, further enhancing the overall resource allocation efficiency and innovation vitality of the manufacturing industry. At present, major industries have begun to combine the above-mentioned integrated application models with the development characteristics of the industry. More than 10 key industries such as petrochemicals, steel, and automobiles have formed a system and mode to promote the industrial Internet systematically.
"China Economic Weekly": At present, what cases have these outstanding enterprises landed, what applications have been developed, and what value can they generate?
Yu Xiaohui: Focusing on industry production characteristics and corporate pain points, platform companies continue to innovate service capabilities, develop and form a batch of system solutions, promote the formation of different industry digital empowerment paths, and create significant economic benefits.
One is intelligent production. Through the interconnection of a single machine to the production line, workshop and even the entire factory, intelligent decision-making and dynamic optimization that integrate industrial data and industrial knowledge are realized, which significantly improves the production efficiency of the whole process, improves quality, and reduces costs. For example, by deploying smart devices and industrial Internet platform applications, Foxconn has reduced an electronic surface mount production line from 350 to 28 people, and the efficiency has increased by 2.5 times; Dongfang Guoxin has created a Cloudiip iron-making cloud solution based on 210 blast furnaces across the country. Reduce smelting costs by 2 billion yuan / year.
The second is network collaboration, integrating upstream and downstream resources and capabilities in the industry chain, and implementing a series of new models such as collaborative design, collaborative manufacturing, and vertical e-commerce, which greatly reduces the cost of new product development and manufacturing, and shortens the time to market. For example, the aerospace cloud network built a centralized procurement model based on the industrial Internet platform, saving 50 million yuan / year in procurement costs and creating a value of about 70 million yuan / year; the Ali SupET platform docked with 102 “Amoy Factory” planned production scheduling systems. The online collaborative manufacturing method quickly met the order delivery needs of hundreds of millions of dolls during the World Cup in Russia.
The third is personalized customization, which precisely matches the user's personalized needs and the company's production capacity. Through flexible and flexible organizational design, manufacturing resources and production processes, low-cost mass customization is achieved. For example, Haier builds customized solutions for RVs based on the COSMOPlat platform, helps RV manufacturing companies Compaq build online user interaction communities, deploys R & D collaboration, smart production and other application modules, and reduces the order delivery cycle from 35 days to 20 days. The cost dropped by 7.3%, the product premium of the intelligent RV reached 63%, and the brand and user satisfaction increased significantly.
The fourth is the extension of service. Through real-time monitoring of equipment and products, it provides a series of services such as remote maintenance, fault prediction, and performance optimization, and feedbacks and optimizes product design to help enterprises transform their services. For example, the tree root interconnection "root cloud" platform has access to more than 660,000 high-value industrial equipment to realize real-time condition diagnosis, remote positioning and operation and maintenance of equipment. It has currently served Jack Sewing Machine, Sany Heavy Industry, Weihua Group, and Sharing Group. , Foton Cummins, Youli Electric Drive and other hundreds of industrial enterprises to enhance the value of equipment services and build a service-oriented extended industrial chain.
"China Economic Weekly": Under favorable policies, what changes will China's industrial Internet construction usher in?
Yu Xiaohui: From the perspective of endogenous power, during this new coronary pneumonia epidemic, the Industrial Internet has greatly improved the efficiency of epidemic prevention and control and resumption of production and processing, showing the inherent superiority of the Industrial Internet. It is expected that there will be more industrial enterprises in the future Invest funds to build the Industrial Internet to improve the business quality and risk prevention and control capabilities of enterprises, and promote business innovation. The digital transformation of various industries in the industry and even the real economy will be further accelerated. The fourth industrial revolution based on the Industrial Internet will be Speed up further. From the perspective of technology trends, the development and innovation of the new generation of information technology will promote the continuous upgrading and iteration of the Industrial Internet, and the integration of emerging technologies such as 5G, artificial intelligence, blockchain, and digital twins with the manufacturing industry will be further accelerated and deepened, and industrial Internet innovation will be significantly improved Development ability and level. From the perspective of the policy environment, the layout of China's new infrastructure provides positive policy guidance for the development of the Industrial Internet. It is expected that the construction of basic capabilities such as industrial Internet networks, logo analysis, platforms, and security will be further accelerated, as well as the construction of other digital infrastructure Promote each other, provide good basic conditions for the popularization of industrial Internet applications, and strongly support industrial transformation and upgrading and high-quality economic development.
