Wanjia. Characteristic industries and regional platforms are developing rapidly. A group of leading companies accelerate their platform layout based on their own industry knowledge endowments, and form nearly 100 characteristic platforms with certain influence. Professional platforms continue to emerge, creating a number of industrial Internet platforms that focus on specific areas, and become an important starting point for technological breakthroughs.
Looking forward to 2021, the industrial Internet platform will achieve continuous improvement in platform model innovation, industrial equipment clouding, digital management, and testing capabilities under the background of the "new infrastructure" wave, with more complete platform functions and a more complete multi-level platform system.
(2) From the perspective of "platform + technology", the breadth and depth of the integration and application of new technologies such as 5G, artificial intelligence, and blockchain continue to deepen
In 2020, rapid development will be achieved around the integration and innovation of "platform + new technology". Enterprises are actively exploring the deepening of the integration and application of new technologies such as 5G, artificial intelligence, blockchain, and industrial interconnection platforms in different industrial scenarios. A batch of typical application scenarios. One is that some companies actively carry out the "Industrial Internet + 5G" application practice, and gradually establish a new industrial Internet system that covers networks, equipment, models, algorithms, security, and standards. The second is to accelerate the integration of artificial intelligence and industrial Internet platforms, promote modeling optimization and iterative upgrades, and enhance the ability of industrial Internet platforms to solve practical problems. The third is that the blockchain helps the platform build a trusted data resource storage, management and service system, and promotes the ownership confirmation, secure transmission and reliable transactions of platform data.
Looking forward to 2021, the industrial Internet platform will accelerate the formation of a batch of integrated and innovative applications for industrial scenarios such as design simulation, production control, quality monitoring, logistics distribution, and supply chain collaboration, and further provide key support for the implementation of new technologies in the industrial field and promote integration Development has reached a new height.
(3) From the perspective of "platform + industry", industrial Internet platforms for characteristic industries in subdivided vertical fields will continue to emerge
In 2020, the industrial Internet platform will accelerate its deep cultivation in vertical industries, and has been widely used in more than 30 industries, and the platform industry's empowerment level will continue to improve. Companies focused on industry pain points, combined technological breakthroughs, model innovations with actual industry needs, and formed a batch of industry system solutions oriented to specific scenarios and with promotion value.
Looking forward to 2021, the industrial Internet platform will be further popularized and promoted in subdivided vertical fields, fully empowering traditional industries, accelerating the formation of a batch of "platform + industry" high-quality solutions, improving the overall resource allocation efficiency of the industry, and accelerating the cultivation of networked collaboration and individuality New models and new business formats such as customized customization, on-demand manufacturing, shared manufacturing, etc., to realize the innovative development of industry enterprises.
(4) From the perspective of "platform + region", a regional platform for the development of "block economy" will become an effective way to promote the overall improvement of agglomeration industries
In 2020, industrial policy support at the national and local levels will continue to increase, accelerating the promotion of industrial Internet platforms to serve the massive economy. Support Jiangsu, Shanghai, Zhejiang, and Anhui to build the Yangtze River Delta Industrial Internet Integration Development Demonstration Zone, and lay out "7+12" platform application innovation promotion centers in key areas such as Beijing, Qingdao, Nanjing, Suzhou, and industrial Internet platforms to accelerate regional industries Strong support for improving quality and efficiency.
Looking forward to 2021, a batch of regional industrial Internet platforms for the development of "block economy" will be formed, further integrating the innovative resources of local industrial Internet platforms and industry needs, and injecting new impetus into local economic development and industrial transformation and upgrading.
(5) From the perspective of "platform + double chain", the industrial Internet platform will become an effective way to speed up the chain supplement, optimize the chain, and strengthen the chain
In 2020, the industrial Internet platform will focus on the difficulties and pain points of epidemic prevention and resumption of work, strengthen coordination, and continue to release its enabling role in epidemic prevention and control, material distribution, resumption of work and production, and strong support to ensure the stable operation of the industrial chain supply chain. On the one hand, companies such as Haier and Tencent have expanded the supply of products and services such as material gathering, supply-demand docking, and dynamic deployment through platforms, helping companies to produce synergy, flexible conversion and capacity sharing, and the industrial chain accelerates the coordinated resumption of work and production, and quickly achieves production and increase in production. On the other hand, platform solution providers such as Smart Cloud Technology and Alibaba have helped manufacturing companies vigorously implement new models such as networked collaboration, service-based extension, and intelligent production during the epidemic, so as to achieve "stopping work without stopping production" and "reducing people without reducing production." , To ensure the stable operation of the supply chain.
Looking forward to 2021, the industrial Internet platform will urgently need to be an important infrastructure that supports the ubiquitous connection, flexible configuration, and aggregation and sharing of manufacturing resources of the whole society, such as humans, machines, and things, and will provide "replenishment", "excellent chain", "strong chain", etc. Provide strong guarantees to help build a safe, agile and economical modern supply chain.
(6) From the perspective of "platform + ecology", the development pattern of the industrial Internet platform with cross-regional, cross-industry and multi-party collaboration has accelerated its formation
In 2020, the integration and development ecology of industrial Internet platforms will continue to grow. Various platform construction entities rely on their own development advantages to accelerate the transformation from industrial chain integration to cross-industry and cross-industry integration and complementation, and build a platform-centric manufacturing collaborative innovation development ecosystem . One is the continuous enhancement of cross-industry collaboration. New models such as platform-based digital management, intelligent production, network collaboration, and personalized customization continue to emerge, and new formats such as sharing economy, platform economy, and supply chain finance are accelerating. The second is the continuous deepening of cross-regional cooperation, and the initial formation of a multi-field industrial Internet industry development cluster. The third is the continuous optimization of cross-domain services.
Looking forward to 2021, the industrial agglomeration effect of the industrial Internet platform will be more significant, further promote the docking of industry, technology, and finance, attract more social capital to invest in integrated innovative technologies, typical application scenarios, and industry solutions, and accelerate key core technologies of the platform Breakthrough and landing, and accelerate the improvement of the platform industry ecosystem.
Four issues are worthy of attention
The accumulation of core technologies is insufficient, and the development of the platform suffers from a "stuck neck".
From the perspective of supply, the basic support industry for the development of my country's industrial Internet platform is weak. From the perspective of demand, insufficient investment in software applications and lack of a development environment in which demand drives supply have affected the continuous iteration and functional evolution of the core technology of the industrial Internet platform.
The solution has yet to be mature, and companies generally dare not "eat crabs."
First, the enterprise "dares not to use it." Some manufacturing companies are worried that the application of the industrial Internet platform will cause business errors or hinder progress, and managers are afraid of taking responsibility because the platform is not safe and reliable. Second, companies "do not want to use". Some companies still tend to use foreign industrial software or systems, which seriously hinders the application and promotion of solutions. Third, the enterprise "will not use it." The uneven informatization foundation of manufacturing enterprises hinders the continuous deepening of platform applications.
The structure of talent supply and demand is unbalanced, and traditional enterprises are frequently "pitted".
On the one hand, it is "difficult to educate people." The construction of an industrial Internet platform is a complex system project. Developers need to have comprehensive capabilities that integrate model algorithm precipitation, industrial PaaS construction, and platform secondary development. The training of relevant talents takes a long time and is difficult. On the other hand, it is "difficult to retain people." Internet companies often use annual salaries that are several times that of industrial companies to hire people. Developers with industrial knowledge and experience are frequently transferred to the Internet industry, which aggravates the structural shortage of compound talents, and it is difficult to provide effective support for platform construction and application promotion.
The ecological system is not yet perfect, and the government urgently needs "a game of chess" to guide it. First, the ability to integrate resources is insufficient. Second, the supply of high-quality platforms is insufficient. Third, the financial service capacity is insufficient.
