The industrial metaverse refers to a complex digital industrial economic system that is intelligent, collaborative, open, service, and interconnected with the wisdom of the whole industrial factor chain, the whole industrial chain, and the whole value chain (three chains) with the help of the cross-border integration of various new technology groups in the new era under the guidance of the new development concept, the new generation of artificial intelligence technology, and the cross-border integration of various new technology groups in the new era (Academician Li Bohu).
The industrial metaverse can carry out intelligent manufacturing that combines virtual and real.
For example, Microsoft integrates software and hardware products into the metaverse technology stack through the Azure platform, and creates a digital workspace that can replicate the real world through augmented reality technology. The industrial metaverse can be designed as a platform for the integration of time and space, such as BMW's new digital factory. The industrial metaverse can be personalized for immersive experiences, such as Sheein's personalization. The industrial metaverse can realize global visual networked collaboration, such as the Dutiangong Internet of Things platform. The industrial metaverse can realize the service-oriented extension of virtual and real symbiosis, such as supporting the AR production of PepsiCo. The industrial metaverse can realize the digital management of holographic insights, such as the R&D and mass production research center based on AR digital Li Sheng built by Alvasystems.
The industrial Internet industry has become a new engine for the steady growth of the national economy, and the scale of the industrial Internet industry has increased from 28 trillion** to 4. in 20225 trillion yuan, accounting for 3% of GDP in 2018 to 3% in 20227%。From the perspective of industrial development trend, the added value of direct industrial scale in 2022 will be 13 trillion yuan (yoy+8..)3%), and the penetration industry is 32 trillion yuan (yoy+10..)3%) The penetration of the industrial Internet into various industries is getting deeper and deeper.
The industrial metaverse has introduced heavyweight national policies in 2023.
The Three-Year Action Plan for the Innovation and Development of the Metaverse Industry (2023-202) proposes that by 2025, breakthroughs will be made in the technology, industry, application and governance of the Metaverse, 3-5 eco-enterprises with global influence will be cultivated, and 3-5 industrial development clusters will be created. A number of new businesses, new models and new forms of business have emerged in the field of public services.
All provinces and cities are also making every effort to carry out the construction of the industrial metaverse.
For example, in September, Chongqing issued the "Integrated Development of Industrial Internet Identification and Virtual Reality Industry", which clearly proposed to cultivate six future industrial clusters, including satellite Internet, biomanufacturing, life science, metaverse, cutting-edge new materials, and future energy, and the Chengdu-Chongqing region has great development potential in the field of virtual reality industry.
Therefore, exploring the organic combination of industry and the metaverse is not only an important starting point for grasping the new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation, but also a strategic choice to promote the development of China's and even the global industrial economy to a higher level and higher quality. Let's join hands to usher in this new era full of infinite possibilities, and witness the profound changes and infinite vitality brought about by the integration of industry and the metaverse.
