Text丨Yang Zehua, Deputy General Manager of Shandong Chuangen Information Technology Co., Ltd., Editor丨Zhao Bozhi**丨Chief Digital OfficerEnterprise application modernization and industrial data analysis are issues that enterprise IT must think about, Chuangen Information is a digital entrepreneurship team incubated by China Wanda Group, positioned as a "digital transformation service provider in the chemical industry", and is committed to providing digital transformation consulting, industrial Internet platform construction, industrial software and application system integration and other services for the chemical industry. For a long time, Wanda Group's industrial digitalization and Chuangen Information's digital industrialization have promoted each other and continued to promote innovation.
At the 2023 China Digitalization Annual Conference, Mr. Yang Zehua, Deputy General Manager of Wanda Group Shandong Chuangen Information Technology Co., Ltd., combined with the practical experience of Wanda's intelligent Internet of Things platform, made a wonderful sharing with the guests.
Wanda Group's overall blueprint for digitalization
Wanda Group's digital twin-based Creative Cloud (tccloud) is a capability platform for China Wanda Group to realize service-oriented manufacturing under the premise of cross-regional, multi-format and multi-field industrial forms. In the process of development, Wanda has always attached great importance to informatization, intelligence and digital construction, and has built a software and hardware management and control platform covering the whole business field, running through all levels of operation and management, and opening up the upstream and downstream of the core industrial chain, and incubated the "Chuanghua Cloud (tccloud)" developed by Shandong Chuangen Information Technology Co., Ltd. was selected as a national characteristic professional industrial Internet platform in 2023.
Intelligent IoT application scenarios
The chemical industry is a high-risk industry, and under the conditions of strict policy supervision and drastic changes, it is a common problem in the industry that it cannot be seen, determined and unfast. Based on the Internet of Things and AI algorithms, combined with the characterization of raw material properties, process mechanism analysis, and process modeling technology, Chuangen Information has built a Wanda Intelligent IoT platform to optimize production, process and quality control.
In terms of the Internet of Everything, Wanda Group's intelligent Internet of Things is the core foundation of the industrial Internet, and Wanda Intelligent Internet of Things has realized the integration of OT and IT. Starting from the source of autonomous perception and data collection, to learning, analysis, decision-making and execution of the closed loop, with the help of communication technology to achieve extensive network interconnection, data exchange, edge computing to achieve data localization and real-time processing, big data to provide real-time and offline data computing and analysis capabilities, industrial mechanism model and data model to provide theoretical basis and methods for data analysis, the entire industrial Internet of things to form a barrier-free flow of data. Finally, the interconnection between industrial equipment, business processes, information systems, enterprise products and services, and personnel within the enterprise is realized internally, the interconnection between enterprise OT and IT, the vertical interconnection from the workshop to the decision-making level, the horizontal interconnection between the upstream and downstream of the enterprise is realized externally, and the interconnection of the entire life cycle of products from design, manufacturing, service, scrapping, and reuse is realized from the dimension of the whole life cycle of the product.
In terms of perception layer, the perception layer of the industrial Internet is located at the bottom layer of the Chuanghua Cloud Internet of Things, based on the coexistence of multiple industrial protocols of industrial data, time series storage, real-time and other characteristics, the perception layer of Wanda Intelligent Internet of Things uses ubiquitous sensing technology to collect information on all elements such as multi-source heterogeneous equipment and systems, environment, and personnel, and analyzes and converts the collected data through certain interfaces and protocols and uploads it to the Internet of Things platform through the standard application layer protocol MQTT.
In terms of the network link layer, the data of the perception layer reaches the remote data center or cloud platform through the network connection, and the network connection layer in the Chuanghua Cloud IoT platform supports a variety of network connection technologies, which can be designed for specific scenarios to ensure the security of the application-level three-layer network of production site, workshop, and factory.
In terms of the IoT platform layer, the IoT platform layer includes functions such as device access, device management, IoT protocol, edge-cloud collaboration, big data, industrial data modeling, and low-quality platform, which continues to empower the industrial IoT field and developers. Combined with big data capabilities, it uses batch device data to build its own dataset, and perceives and predicts the data through model training, so as to help enterprises achieve business expansion and risk prediction, and create an ecological closed loop. Combine with the Chuanghua cloud low-quality development platform to quickly build business applications.
In terms of the application layer of the Internet of Things, based on the industry experience of the chemical industry and the precipitation of related technologies, the platform abstracts the business scenarios and objects with similar business logic, and summarizes a set of mature APP templates suitable for the chemical industry, such as: equipment management, energy management, safety and environmental protection, personnel positioning and other APPs, which are convenient for enterprises to quickly develop and launch applications.
In terms of intelligence, the construction of Wanda intelligent Internet of Things platform aims to build an integrated, intelligent and first-class data intelligence system, and on the basis of realizing unified data management and control, it realizes the special application of big data based on data intelligence and the best optimization benefits.
Lean innovation model
In the way of working, Wanda has built an intelligent R&D team composed of product managers, industrial experts, data engineers, software engineers and other personnel, and from the perspective of needs, jointly carries out creative thinking and R&D, and finally forms a lean innovation model integrating R&D, verification and application through layer-by-layer iteration.
In the next step, Wanda Group will continue to optimize and improve its platform capabilities, accelerate the development of the industrial Internet, implement high-standard digital economy development actions, focus on the pain points and difficulties of digital transformation of traditional industries based on artificial intelligence, Internet of Things and big data, and create a number of replicable and promotable "platform + new technology, platform + new scenario" solutions, inject new vitality into the "industrial Internet platform" into traditional industries, and empower the high-quality development of the group
