The Industrial Internet is an important cornerstone of the new industrial revolution, a key support for the deep integration of digital technology and the real economy, and a strategic infrastructure and an important driving force for new industrialization.
From the perspective of technical element support, the industrial Internet realizes the comprehensive interconnection of production factors and business factors of industrial enterprises, and improves the production efficiency and overall optimization of factors through digitalization, maximizes the value of each factor, and accelerates the promotion of new industrialization.
As one of the new infrastructures, the industrial Internet has laid a solid foundation for the development of new industrialization. The industrial Internet includes five functional systems: network, identification, platform, data, and security, and is an important carrier for opening up the "main artery" of information.
Accelerate new technological breakthroughs and iterative innovation, and enhance the development of new industrialization. The industrial Internet deeply integrates digital technologies such as 5G, cloud computing, big data, artificial intelligence, and blockchain, opens up clouds, networks, edges, and ends, accelerates the aggregation of communication technology, information technology, and control technology, and drives comprehensive breakthroughs and iterative innovation in related technologies.
Comprehensively promote the digital transformation of the manufacturing industry and release the momentum of new industrialization. The industrial Internet combines digital technology with industry-specific knowledge, experience, and needs, improves the digital level of all aspects of production and operation, and further promotes the integration and development of large and medium-sized enterprises, primary, secondary and tertiary industries. The application scenarios have extended from the single-point application of "research, production, supply, marketing and service" to comprehensive integration, and the application modes such as digital management, platform design, intelligent manufacturing, networked collaboration, and personalized customization have accelerated their popularization.
From the perspective of practical means, the industrial Internet can effectively optimize resource allocation, save energy and reduce consumption, effectively improve production quality and efficiency, realize intelligent production, and promote industrial upgrading and fundamental changes in enterprise forms.
Improve the level of production quality and safety, and build a solid bottom line for development. By promoting the standardization and intelligence of product design, the industrial Internet realizes product quality management systems such as pre-analysis and alarm of quality defects and dynamic improvement of product quality. The industrial Internet improves the connection and data collection capabilities of all elements, and helps the safety management mode to change from post-emergency response to pre-analysis and early warning, so as to build a solid technical bottom line for China's industrial development.
Optimize resource allocation and energy conservation, and do not cross the red line of development. The industrial Internet connects the operation management system and the production execution system, creates a data-driven, agile and efficient lean management system, and improves the level of timely market response, fine cost control, and management decision-making. Improve the overall compactness of the production process, reduce energy and material consumption caused by insufficient cross-process coordination, and achieve dynamic balance and optimal utilization of energy through energy integration and intelligent management and control, so as to avoid touching the red line of resources and environment.
Realize intelligent manufacturing and customized production, bypassing the blind line of development. Through the collection, transmission, storage and analysis of data, the industrial Internet can realize the best connection and real-time interaction between production factors such as materials, equipment, and products and users, and gradually realize the replacement of manual production by machines. Through accurate acquisition and analysis of customer needs, flexible and intelligent production, and precise delivery of services, users can be deeply involved in the whole life cycle of products.
Promote industrial upgrading and innovation-driven, and release the long-term development line. The application of the industrial Internet can promote the transformation and optimization of the industrial structure, and promote the development of traditional industries in the direction of high-end and intelligence. Through data collection and analysis, new service models can be continuously generated, market demand and technological innovation opportunities can be discovered, enterprises can be promoted to carry out product innovation and technology upgrading, improve the competitiveness and innovation ability of enterprises, and release the long-term innovation and development of enterprises.
In the future, it is necessary to accelerate the development of the industrial Internet to provide solid support for promoting new industrialization and building a modern industrial system.
Strengthen the innovative basic supply of the industrial Internet for industrial transformation and upgrading. Strengthen the R&D and technology supply of industrial control, network, identification, platform, data, and security of the industrial Internet, and strengthen the integration and innovation of general artificial intelligence and industry. Continue to promote the construction and application of the industrial Internet standard system.
Increase the application of the industrial Internet and promote the intelligent transformation of industry. From the dimensions of equipment, units, production lines, workshops, factories and other dimensions, we will guide enterprises at different stages of development to promote the transformation in subdivided industries, create a number of intelligent production lines, intelligent workshops and intelligent factories, and formulate standards and guidelines for the transformation of subdivided fields. Strengthen the sorting of common needs and build a platform to promote the coordination of supply and demand.
Strengthen industrial data collection, aggregation, analysis and application. We will continue to improve the top-level planning for the classification and grading of industrial Internet big data, formulate relevant standards and management specifications for classification and grading, and promote the simplification, centralization, specialization of analysis, and diversification of industrial data collection. Accelerate the establishment of a system for the registration and confirmation of data assets, and improve the ability to manage data resources.
Strengthen the standardization and security of the industrial Internet. We will continue to improve the industrial Internet standard system, accelerate the development and promotion of key standards, and release a number of industrial Internet industry application standards. Accelerate the construction of an industrial Internet product and service testing and certification system. Improve the national industrial Internet security monitoring system, enhance the linkage efficiency of national, provincial and enterprise platforms, and help enterprises improve their security protection capabilities.
Strengthen the cultivation of industrial Internet talents. A new batch of new occupations related to the industrial Internet have been added, the training product system has been improved, and the talent training and supply capacity has been improved. Promote the construction of a discipline standard system, and promote the sharing and co-construction of high-quality teaching resources. Deepen the integration of industry and education, establish a number of industrial colleges and talent training bases, improve the talent training evaluation system, and cultivate and expand the talent training ecology.
