The industrial base is constantly improving
A series of vivid application scenarios were displayed at the meeting, indicating that China's 5G+ industrial Internet has entered a new stage of large-scale development. At the China Unicom booth, the reporter saw that through personalized customization, the data was immediately transmitted to the factory's central control system, and the system immediately arranged production, and a pair of shoes could be produced in as little as 2 hours at the earliest.
5G has penetrated into core control links such as remote equipment control and equipment collaborative operation from peripheral auxiliary links such as production site monitoring and intelligent logistics in the factory area. Wang Peng, a first-level inspector of the Information and Communication Administration of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said.
Lu Chuncong, president of the China Industrial Internet Research Institute, introduced that the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology continued to implement the three-year action plan, implemented the industrial Internet innovation and development project for six consecutive years, selected 5 batches of nearly 600 pilot demonstration projects, and supported the creation of 8 industrial Internet industry demonstration bases and 6 industrial Internet demonstration zones. To carry out the pilot work of digital transformation of small and medium-sized enterprises and cities, 98 public service platforms and 30 pilot cities were selected respectively.
The industrial Internet industry foundation has been continuously improved. The R&D and industrialization of key technologies such as industrial Ethernet, edge computing, virtual reality and augmented reality, industrial big data, and artificial intelligence have been accelerated. The integrated application of 5G and industrial Internet has driven the rapid growth of the market scale of industrial chips, industrial modules, and intelligent terminals. More than 20,000 5G industry virtual private networks have been built. The identification resolution system has 325 secondary nodes online, serving more than 310,000 enterprises. Cultivate 50 "double-cross" platforms, and connect nearly 90 million units (sets) of industrial equipment on key platforms.
The industrial ecology is growing day by day. A number of leading enterprises have set up industrial Internet scientific research departments, and the enterprise-oriented, market-oriented technological innovation ecological construction has begun to show results, effectively helping the upstream, midstream and downstream of the industrial chain, large and small enterprises to integrate and innovate. The talent training system for the integration of industry and education has been initially constructed, and more than 100 colleges and universities have added industrial Internet-related majors.
On the whole, the policy environment continues to improve, the 'point, line and surface' policy system has been continuously improved, and detailed support policies have been introduced in many places. The infrastructure has been continuously consolidated, and the quantity and quality of the industrial private network have been improved, forming a good situation of 'promoting use by construction and building with use'. Industry applications are expanding in depth, 5G factories have achieved remarkable results, and artificial intelligence technology has accelerated empowerment. The quality and efficiency of industrial supply have been steadily improved, the ability of terminal customization has been enhanced, and the development of standards and patents has been accelerated. Yu Xiaohui, president of the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology, said.
Accelerate the empowerment of thousands of industries
5G + industrial Internet is becoming an important means to realize industrial digitalization, and it is also the key path to implement the new industrialization strategy. To this end, it is necessary to promote the digitalization of industrial equipment, the full connection of industrial networks, the cloudification of industrial software and the valorization of industrial data. Give full play to the innovative advantages of digital technologies, including 5G + industrial Internet, and promote the development of new industrialization. Hu Houkun, Huawei's rotating chairman, said.
Xiao Xue, executive president and chief engineer of Inspur Group, believes that 5G technology empowers the industrial Internet, and the industrial Internet scenario drives 5G. 5G is a business-level and professional connection, and the industrial Internet needs to grasp the development trend of the integration and mutual promotion of the new generation of information technology such as 5G and artificial intelligence with the industrial Internet in the face of actual scenarios, and accelerate the integration of data and reality. The 5G+ industrial Internet provides on-site and hybrid networking capabilities for specific industries and scenarios, consolidating the industrial digital infrastructure of cloud-network-edge-end integration and collaboration, and serving the real economy.
For example, Inspur Yunzhou has joined hands with Guanxing Ceramics to create a "demonstration application for the upgrading of the digital industrial chain of industrial equipment based on artificial intelligence". Xiao Xue believes that the greatest value of the Guanxing ceramic case is that in the Internet industry, Inspur Yunzhou directly faces the production and manufacturing scene to make a breakthrough, relying on the Internet platform to support the manufacturing model of man-machine integration, and changing the configuration of technical elements and market elements. Through the empowerment of Inspur Yunzhou, the failure rate of Guanxing ceramic equipment has been reduced by 55%.
Chen Zhongyue, Secretary of the Party Leadership Group and Chairman of China United Network Communications Group, introduced that China Unicom has built a national "double-cross" industrial Internet platform based on computing network resources and massive connection management capabilities across the country, enabling key industries such as steel, mining, and equipment manufacturing.
The 5G+ industrial Internet is accelerating the empowerment of thousands of industries. "The application scope of the industrial Internet has achieved full coverage of industrial categories, and nearly 10,000 digital workshops and smart factories have been built. Lu Chuncong introduced that the number of 5G+ industrial Internet projects in the country exceeds 8,000, forming 20 typical scenarios such as collaborative R&D and design, remote equipment control, and unmanned intelligent inspection. The industrial metaverse continues to expand, and the integrated application of artificial intelligence and industry continues to deepen, giving birth to application scenarios such as enhanced digital design and human-machine collaborative manufacturing.
Difficulties in large-scale application need to be solved
In order to promote the large-scale application of 5G + industrial Internet, many problems need to be solved. "China's manufacturing industry is large and has many categories. The industrial Internet needs to be closely integrated with industry technology, knowledge, and experience, which contains the core technology and capabilities of enterprises, which is highly complex and difficult, and it is difficult to cure all diseases with one prescription, which determines the complexity and arduousness of the digital transformation of the manufacturing industry. Lu Chuncong said.
Gui Weihua, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, believes that the promotion of industrial Internet technology must correspond to the problems of enterprises, based on solving problems and bringing benefits to enterprises, which requires the deep integration of intelligence and industry.
Xiao Xue said that the digital transformation of small and medium-sized enterprises faces the outstanding problem of "not being able to use, not daring to use, and not being able to use", and needs more lightweight, low-cost, and practical applications.
The low networking rate of industrial equipment is still the core factor restricting the development of industrial digitalization. Industrial companies will always need network capabilities that are more mobile, more deterministic, less latency, and more bandwidth. In addition, traditional industrial software has problems such as aging architecture, localized deployment, high development cost and long cycle. Hu said.
Jin Zhuanglong revealed that it is necessary to steadily promote the construction of "5G + Industrial Internet" private network, expand the coverage of industrial sensing networks, and create massive IoT access capabilities. Formulate guidelines for large-scale application integration by industry, carry out the "100,000,000" action of 5G factories and the "through" action of the identification analysis system, give full play to the leading role of leading enterprises, and drive the coordinated development of the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain.
We will formulate and introduce policies and measures to promote the high-quality development of the industrial Internet, focusing on the five functional systems of network, platform, security, identification and data, and creating an upgraded version of '5G + Industrial Internet'." Strengthen the linkage between ministries and provinces, policy coordination, and explore the construction of a number of '5G + Industrial Internet' integrated application pilot areas. Jin Zhuanglong said.
