The 49th statistical report on the development of China’s Internet released by China Internet Network Information Center (CNNIC) recently shows that the development of China’s industrial Internet has made steady progress in 2021, and the application of “5g + industrial Internet” has developed in depth, which has played a greater role in promoting the development of digital economy.
Experts pointed out that at present, the integrated application of industrial Internet is accelerating its expansion to key industries of the national economy. The government work reports released by various places also show that giving full play to the digital empowerment of the industrial Internet has become one of the key tasks in 2022, and high hopes have been placed on the quality and efficiency improvement of the industrial Internet in economic development.
Steady progress has been made in the development of industrial Internet
According to the statistical report on the development of China’s Internet network, as of December 2021, China has built and opened 1.425 million 5g base stations, and 654000 new 5g base stations have been added throughout the year; There are more than 150 industrial Internet platforms with national influence, and the total number of access equipment exceeds 76 million units (sets); More than 2000 “5g + industrial Internet” projects are under construction nationwide, and the integration and innovative application of industrial Internet and 5g in key industries of the national economy is accelerating.
Huang Qingqing, vice president of China Internet association, said that the network foundation, platform hub, data elements and security role of China’s industrial Internet have further emerged. The construction of network system has been continuously promoted, basic telecom enterprises have accelerated the construction of external network, industrial enterprises have promoted the transformation and upgrading of internal network, and the top nodes of the five countries have been completed and operated stably; The depth and scope of the platform system are expanding; The enabling of data aggregation has achieved initial results, and the national industrial Internet big data center has formed a systematic layout covering Beijing Tianjin Hebei, the Yangtze River Delta, the Great Bay area of Guangdong, Hong Kong, Macao and Chengdu Chongqing economic circle; The guarantee capacity of the security system has been continuously improved, the top-level design has been continuously improved, and the threat monitoring and information notification disposal have been continuously strengthened.
At the same time, “5g + industrial Internet” speeds up the construction of new infrastructure, application mode and industrial ecology deeply integrated with industrial economy. The Ministry of industry and information technology has promoted relevant units to learn from the 20 typical scenarios and 10 key industry application practices of the two batches of “5g + industrial Internet”, closely follow the characteristics and needs of the industry, explore more application scenarios, and promote the deep integration of “5g + industrial Internet” with the real economy. At present, it has been used in electronic equipment manufacturing, equipment manufacturing, steel, mining Remarkable application results have been achieved in power and other industries.
A new round of digital demand will be released
“The high-quality development of the manufacturing industry is an important basis for ensuring the steady realization of the objectives of the 14th five year plan. As the center of the digital transformation of the manufacturing industry, the industrial Internet has stood at a new starting point of development at this stage after concept discussion, pilot trial and other exploration during the 13th Five Year Plan period.” Li Ying, Dean of the school of emergency management science and engineering of the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences and director of the expert committee of China Industrial Internet development alliance, said.
The “14th five year plan for the development of deep integration of informatization and industrialization” issued by the Ministry of industry and information technology clearly lists the “industrial Internet platform promotion project”, focusing on the development of industrial Internet, planning from the layout of platform system with equal emphasis on industry and region to the integrated development of products, models and regions.
Li Ying believes that the industrial Internet enables economic development, improves quality and efficiency, especially helps the high-quality development of large industrial provinces. While the digital intelligence integration of large, medium-sized, small and micro enterprises and regional coordinated development release the potential of cross-border integration, “counting from the east to the west” also drives the innovation of production mode.
Specifically, industrial data has the characteristics of large volume, real-time and many types. From the perspective of industrial layout, major industrial provinces are mostly concentrated in the southeast coastal areas, and major energy provinces are mostly concentrated in the central and western regions. The problem of power and energy has long affected the stable development of major industrial provinces in coastal areas. With the increasing demand for computing power and data brought about by the deepening of industrial digital transformation, we should respond to the national layout, give full play to the role of industrial Internet Interconnection, realize deeper utilization and empowerment of data through industrial data classification and classification, and use new technologies such as cloud computing and blockchain. The innovation of industrial Internet mode under the layout of “counting from the east to the west” involves the in-depth coordination between industrial Internet enterprises and industrial enterprises, especially the breakthrough in industrial data computing power distribution, data transmission, functional innovation, in-depth mining and related applications, security protection and other issues of large enterprises with cross regional operation and national integrated layout of industrial chain, It will bring a new round of digital demand release.
Build the bottom line of safety production
Experts said that the industrial Internet is an emerging business form and application mode formed by the deep integration of the new generation of information and communication technology and advanced manufacturing industry. This new business form and mode not only brings new opportunities, but also new problems and challenges. The combination of industrial Internet and safe production is an important guarantee to realize the upgrading of industrial foundation and the modernization of industrial chain. It is also a fundamental policy to eliminate potential safety hazards.
In October 2020, the Ministry of industry and information technology and emergency management jointly issued the “industrial Internet plus safety production” action plan (2021-2023 years). It was proposed that by the end of 2023, the development pattern of the coordinated development of industrial Internet and safety production was basically formed, and the level of intrinsic safety of industrial enterprises was enhanced significantly.
Li Ying believes that with the cross regional development of industrial enterprises and the deepening of cross regional linkage of industrial production, the security problems faced by the industrial Internet will be more diversified and complex. In the process of building the industrial Internet, it is necessary to do a good job in the security design of key digital infrastructure, business scenarios and data transmission channels. At the same time, combined with major risk scenarios, expand the functional modules in the industrial Internet, especially focus on solidifying the emergency response ability in the process of safe production, so as to ensure that industrial enterprises are more secure in the process of digital transformation.
