Create an industrial Internet ecosystem and empower industry transformation and development

Accelerating the development of the industrial Internet is the trend

1. Industrial Internet provides an important engine for high-quality economic development. As a new thing in the integration and development of a new generation of network information technology and modern industry, the industrial Internet is the core platform for the Internet to expand from the consumer field to the production field, from the virtual economy to the real economy, and is developing into a platform for gathering energy and solving problems., An open and shared platform, a platform for innovation and entrepreneurship, greatly expanding the new space for economic development. With the continuous advancement of the wave of digital transformation, the industrial Internet industry is booming, especially the rapid development of 5G technology provides favorable technical support for the development of the industrial Internet. At the same time, with the introduction of relevant industrial Internet favorable policies by the country, China's industrial Internet industry Development has entered the fast lane. Data show that the market size of China's industrial Internet industry has reached 910.1 billion billion yuan in 2020, breaking through the trillion mark in 2021 and expected to reach 1105.6 billion billion yuan in 2022. Experts predict that the scale of China's industrial Internet industry will exceed 11 trillion yuan in the next 15 years. At present, the industrial Internet has been extended to 45 major categories of the national economy, accelerating through the industrial chain and supply chain upstream and downstream. It can be said that the development of the industrial Internet plays a very important role in supporting the digital transformation of the economy and cultivating new kinetic energy for economic development. Its development will determine the future trend of the entire economic development.

2. Industrial Internet provides key support for the implementation of the manufacturing power strategy. As an important carrier of the deep integration of information technology and manufacturing technology, the industrial Internet provides services for intelligent manufacturing and creates a new "industrial operating system" for intelligent manufacturing, which is the basis for intelligent manufacturing. China has upgraded intelligent manufacturing to a national strategy, and under the guidance of the national strategy, the scale of China's intelligent manufacturing market continues to expand. According to statistics, the output value of China's intelligent manufacturing industry in 2020 is about 2.5 trillion yuan. According to the analysis of the development status and trend of China's intelligent manufacturing industry, it is expected that China's intelligent manufacturing industry will maintain an average annual compound growth rate of about 15% in the next few years. By 2026, the market scale of China's intelligent manufacturing industry will reach about 5.8 trillion yuan, with huge room for industry growth.

3. Industrial Internet provides a strong driving force for the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries. It is predicted that China's industrial enterprises will increase production efficiency by 20%, reduce costs by 20%, and reduce energy consumption by 10% through the deployment of industrial Internet. The development of the industrial Internet will undoubtedly provide a strong impetus for China to accelerate the conversion of new and old kinetic energy and promote transformation and upgrading. In particular, large-scale petrochemical, steel and other traditional industries, due to complex technology, long process, high production costs, large environmental impact and other reasons, are increasingly unable to meet the requirements of the new development stage and new development concepts, and there is an urgent need to speed up the strategic transformation to digitalization, networking and intelligence. In recent years, the domestic iron and steel industry has also carried out practical exploration based on the industrial Internet. In 2021, a total of 13 steel enterprise application cases were shortlisted for the "2021 Industrial Internet Platform Innovation Pilot Application Case" and 8 enterprises were selected for the "2021 Industrial Internet Pilot Demonstration Project". Anshan Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. cooperated with China Mobile, combined with 5G and industrial Internet platform technology, to interconnect the people, machines, objects and systems of the enterprise, and realized machine vision quality inspection. The defect detection rate of strip steel regular reached more than 95%, and the online comprehensive defect classification rate exceeded 90%, improving the yield rate while reducing downtime. With the deepening of integration and innovation, the industrial Internet will play an increasingly important role in the digital, networked and intelligent transformation of the steel industry.

Traditional industries have a long way to go to apply industrial Internet

The integration and innovation of industrial Internet and traditional industries is a long-term and continuous process, and there are still many problems and challenges. Taking the iron and steel industry as an example, the iron and steel industry is a typical process industry. Due to the scattered system, complex technology, long process flow, high production cost and great environmental impact, the traditional development mode is more and more unsuitable for the new development stage and the requirements of the new development concept. It is in urgent need of strategic transformation, but there are the following difficulties in the transformation process:

Difficulty 1: Process complexity. The steel production process is a very large and complex system, including mining, mineral processing, sintering, ironmaking, steelmaking, rolling and many other links, not only the system function, composition and structure are complex, but also the input and output of material flow, energy flow and information flow are also very complex.

Difficulty 2: Uncertainty in the production process. The iron-making, steel-making, steel-rolling and other production processes of iron and steel production are still in the black box state, and the particle size structure, composition and form of materials are constantly changing. It is difficult to trace and track with the help of a single technical means. How to turn the black box into a white box to realize accurate perception, visualization and transparency of industrial processes is still a difficult problem for iron and steel enterprises.

Difficulty three: the management model does not adapt. For a long time, the layout of iron and steel production is scattered, and the management foundation and information level of each link are uneven. For example, network infrastructure still needs to be upgraded, data cloud construction still needs to be strengthened, artificial intelligence modeling and algorithms still need to be studied, and the Internet ecological environment still needs to be improved. The above problems make it difficult to establish a standardized and intelligent industrial Internet system in the short term. Under such complex conditions, it is very difficult to realize intelligent transformation.

In recent years, based on the latest development situation and strategy, the domestic iron and steel industry has also carried out the exploration and practice of "industrial Internet intelligent manufacturing", and put forward the development goal of "intelligence. The so-called "intelligence" here is not simple informatization, networking or intelligence, but a comprehensive innovation of "strategic management technology". It follows the system engineering theory, is based on the upgrading of process technology, and is based on "industrial Internet intelligent manufacturing". As a means, a new development model that coordinates and optimizes resources to achieve an independent dynamic balance between production efficiency and economic and social benefits.

The key point of implementing the new mode of "industrial Internet intelligent manufacturing" is the integration and efficient regulation of material flow, energy flow, information flow and capital flow. We should focus on relying on the industrial Internet platform and intelligent manufacturing technology, and solve and break through the relevant basic theories and key technologies from the four aspects of intelligent perception, intelligent production, intelligent management and intelligent ecology.

Intelligent perception is to realize real-time collection of industrial process information through the construction of basic network facilities. On the basis of digital and online transformation, the new model of "Industrial Internet Intelligent Manufacturing" builds a huge sensor network system to achieve full coverage and comprehensive perception of the entire production process and management elements, and provide data access, storage, Analysis, interaction and application platform.

Intelligent production is to realize the intelligent control of the whole production process through the construction of intelligent optimization system. The new model of "Industrial Internet Intelligent Manufacturing" realizes the overall dynamic optimization of the core technical indicators of the whole process by constructing a mathematical model of the process value chain and building a control platform for the whole value chain, promoting the linkage of material flow, energy flow, information flow and capital flow, information sharing and collaborative optimization.

Intelligent management is to realize the collaborative operation of the whole process of management business through the construction of intelligent decision-making platform. "Industrial Internet intelligent manufacturing" new model through the establishment of data analysis model and decision support model, the use of data warehouse technology, data mining technology, to achieve a high degree of correlation between production operation and procurement and sales, product production and market demand closely linked, to ensure the scientific decision-making of enterprises.

Smart ecology is to realize symbiosis and sharing of the whole industry through the construction of industrial Internet system. The new model of "Industrial Internet Intelligent Manufacturing" provides services for the special needs of the same industry through the establishment of an industrial Internet platform based on "end-network-cloud" to connect and integrate various data resources, standardize data standards, and provide new momentum for accelerating the improvement of China's industrial development level and building new advantages in economic and social development.

The ecological prospect of building industrial Internet is promising.

At present, China's industrial Internet has shown the characteristics of rapid development and growth from point to surface and integrated application. The innovative application of industrial Internet has expanded from leading enterprises to the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain. The application scope has accelerated the penetration from individual industries to key industries of the national economy, such as steel, machinery, electric power, transportation and energy, from single-point application in all aspects of research, production, supply, marketing and service. To the whole process integrated application and multi-field system innovation extension, is forming large and medium-sized enterprises financing innovation development pattern. According to data from the China Industrial Internet Research Institute, there are currently more than 150 industrial Internet platforms with certain industry and regional influence in my country, and more than 1.6 million service companies. The scale of the industrial Internet industry and the main participants are growing rapidly, with the average annual growth rate of core industries such as industrial digital equipment, industrial interconnection automation, security and industrial software exceeding 20%. China's industrial Internet ecology is accelerating the formation.

In the future, with the in-depth development of the industrial Internet and the evolution of the industrial chain supply chain cooperation model, the development of the industrial economy will break the boundaries between enterprises and industries, gradually transform to the digital industry, and eventually form an industrial economic ecosystem, enabling the development of industry integration. The so-called industrial economic ecosystem is based on advantageous industries as the leader, relying on big data support, network sharing, and intelligent collaboration, aggregating multiple industries in the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain, concentrating multiple elements such as talents, technology, and capital, and having information flow circulation and industry A new model of industrial development based on new technologies and new concepts. We should focus on four dimensions: first, through the deep combination of scientific and technological research and development and technological innovation, break down technical barriers and realize technological upgrading. The second is to build a smart green development model, stimulate new momentum for green development, and achieve low-carbon operation. The third is to open up the whole industrial chain, build a collaborative platform from manufacturers to service providers, and realize the optimal allocation of resources. Fourth, co-ordinate stakeholders, joint investment, joint management, joint development, to achieve mutually beneficial cooperation, co-creation and sharing.

In short, the new technological revolution has approached us, and the reform of the industrial system in the future will be surging. In the face of the tide of the times, we need to firmly establish the thinking of the industrial Internet, grasp the opportunities for China's economic development under the background of the industrial Internet, adhere to the strategic determination of using the industrial Internet to empower high-quality development, and make new and greater contributions to building a new economic growth pole and promoting the construction of a network power and manufacturing power.
