Give full play to the empowering role of the industrial Internet

General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "Guided by scientific and technological innovation, we should accelerate the high-end, intelligent and green upgrading and transformation of traditional industries." The use of new technologies to accelerate the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries is an important direction for conforming to the in-depth development trend of a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation and building a modern industrial system, and also provides a broad space for cultivating new quality productive forces. As a product of the deep integration of a new generation of information technology and manufacturing, the industrial Internet has built a new manufacturing and service system that connects all factors, the whole industry chain and the whole value chain through the comprehensive interconnection of people, machines and things, which is an important path for the deep integration of the digital economy and the real economy, and provides an important driving force for the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries.

It will help promote the high-end development of traditional industries. Through the collection, processing, and analysis of real-time data of industrial systems, and the combination of knowledge, experience, and needs of related industries, the industrial Internet has formed a new optimization paradigm, changed the industrial production model, given birth to a new form of industrial organization, formed a new combination of factors, and nurtured a new way of value creation. Under the empowerment of the industrial Internet, traditional industries will gradually show the characteristics of high technology, high efficiency and high quality, and grow into advanced productivity that meets the requirements of the modern industrial system. For example, the mainland textile industry uses the industrial Internet to transform the production equipment input and technological process, effectively improve product quality and production efficiency, and the past "1,000 people yarn, 10,000 cloth" has been transformed into the current 10,000 spindle workers can be at least no more than 10 people, and the industry continues to move towards the middle and high-end.

It will help promote the intelligent development of traditional industries. The combination of industrial Internet and traditional industries can build an efficient and low-consumption intelligent production system, a resource-sharing collaborative manufacturing system, and an agile and flexible industrial chain and supply chain system, and promote the research, production, supply and marketing process to be networked and intelligent. Driven by the industrial Internet, the laborers, labor materials, labor objects and their combinations in traditional industries will undergo qualitative changes, which will form a higher efficiency and higher level of production function. Some estimates show that the empowerment of digital technology for industrial efficiency has increased by 1.14 times from 2017 to 2022. For example, in the iron and steel industry, enterprises use the industrial Internet to open up steelmaking, continuous casting, rolling and other processes, strengthen the comprehensive application of digital twins, artificial intelligence, intelligent control and other technologies, and realize the transformation from "experience ironmaking" to "intelligent ironmaking", from "furnace steelmaking" to "one-click steelmaking", forming a new path of cost reduction, quality improvement and efficiency increase.

It will help promote the green development of traditional industries. There is a high degree of coupling between the new infrastructure represented by the industrial Internet and the green development of traditional industries. The industrial Internet runs through the design, manufacturing, management, and service of green development, which can empower energy optimization scheduling, carbon emission monitoring and control from the whole life cycle, and provide support for the green development of traditional industries. At present, in some key energy-using industries such as steel and cement, enterprises can achieve the goals of improving energy resource utilization efficiency, reducing energy consumption and reducing carbon emissions by building production scheduling platforms and environmental intelligent monitoring and control systems through the industrial Internet. Using the industrial Internet to promote the deep integration of industrial digitalization, intelligence and greening is an important path to accelerate the green transformation of industries and develop green productivity.

In recent years, most of the world's major developed countries have recognized the importance and urgency of the integration of digital technology and manufacturing, and have continuously strengthened the layout of industrial digital transformation. The development trend of the industrial Internet in mainland China is good, and it has been integrated into 49 major categories of the national economy, covering all industrial categories, forming more than 340 influential industrial Internet platforms and connecting more than 96 million sets of industrial equipment. The integrated development of the industrial Internet and traditional industries has brought an all-round, deep-seated and revolutionary impact to traditional industries, effectively promoting the quality of the industry, increasing efficiency, reducing costs, and developing green and safely.

At present, promoting high-quality development has become the consensus and conscious action of the whole party and the whole society, and the development of new quality productivity is an inherent requirement and an important focus for promoting high-quality development. An important direction for cultivating and developing new quality productive forces is to promote the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries. The traditional industries in mainland China have the advantages of large scale, many application scenarios, and abundant data resources, but at the same time, the problem of unbalanced and insufficient development is still prominent. There is great potential for the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries empowered by the industrial Internet.

At the same time, it should also be noted that the large-scale application of the industrial Internet in traditional industries still faces some constraints. For example, there are still a large number of "deaf equipment" and "dumb equipment" in some traditional industrial factories, and the evolution of enterprises to networking and intelligence is expensive and difficult. There are a large number of small and medium-sized enterprises in traditional industries, and the use of industrial Internet for digital transformation faces problems such as lack of funds and lack of talents. There is still no efficient matching between the diversified personalized needs of traditional industries and the supply of solution products; Wait a minute.

With the in-depth advancement of a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation, a large number of new technologies and new industries are rapidly being nurtured and ready to go. It is necessary to seize the opportunity to accelerate the large-scale development of the industrial Internet, strive to break through bottlenecks, continue to optimize the mode and path of enabling the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries, and help the industry continue to improve the level of high-end, intelligent and green. Specifically, we can focus on the following aspects.

The "construction and use" system has been promoted to consolidate the foundation for transformation and upgrading. Accelerate the improvement of network coverage and service efficiency, guide enterprises to carry out intranet transformation and upgrading, promote the construction of 5G factories, and improve the level of interconnection. Implement the "through" action of the industrial Internet identification analysis system to promote the "through" application of logos in the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain of consumer goods, raw materials and other industries. Give full play to the role of a multi-level industrial Internet platform system to promote the integrated development of artificial intelligence and digital twins. Create an industrial data space for traditional industries and promote the safe and credible circulation of data. Improve the industrial Internet security management system, and strengthen the capacity of industrial Internet security public services.

The comprehensive combination of "point, line and surface" improves the level of application empowerment. Based on the characteristics of the manufacturing industry and the differentiated development needs, we will compile and implement the application guide for the integration of the industrial Internet and subdivided industries, provide enterprises with transformation "manuals" and "toolboxes", and help enterprises, especially small and medium-sized enterprises, reduce transformation costs. Promote the "chain-network collaboration" between the industrial Internet and key industrial chains, explore more application scenarios, and build a smart supply chain. We will continue to carry out the "100 Cities and 1000 Gardens" activity of integrating the industrial Internet into the park, guide industrial parks and industry clusters to increase the construction of industrial Internet facilities, and promote equipment interoperability and resource sharing.

"Bringing the old with the new" integrates and innovates, and opens up a new track for development. Promote the deep integration of 5G and industrial automation, and create a new generation of industrial control architecture. Jointly promote the construction of industrial Internet platforms and the cultivation of industrial Internet APPs, amplify the advantages of mainland application scenarios, knowledge models and rich industrial data, and promote the realization of industrial software "lane change and overtaking". We will continue to deepen the integration of artificial intelligence, large models and industry, cultivate an industrial technology support system based on data and artificial intelligence, and improve the intelligent capabilities of traditional industrial equipment, automation systems and industrial software.

Multi-party integration and synergy to create a good development ecology. Promote a better combination of an effective market and a promising government, and comprehensively use fiscal, financial and other policy tools to promote enterprises to accelerate technological transformation and equipment upgrading. We will further promote industry-finance cooperation and industry-education integration, and strengthen the level of guarantee for capital, talent and other factors. Relying on industrial Internet industry alliances, industry associations, etc., it brings together the forces of enterprises, universities, scientific research institutes, financial institutions and other parties to jointly promote the promotion and application of the industrial Internet.
