D201138L Since the in-depth implementation of the industrial Internet innovation and development strategy proposed, China’s industrial Internet innovation and development has taken solid steps, effectively promoted the digital, networking and intelligent transformation of the manufacturing industry, effectively promoted the high-quality development of the economy, and achieved a series of phased, symbolic and leading results. China’s industrial Internet has shown a new development trend in four aspects: policy orientation, infrastructure construction, integrated application innovation and industrial foundation construction, and is also facing a series of challenges in four aspects: development awareness, development security, development speed and development mode. In the future, China should maintain strategic focus, strengthen policy support, consolidate the industrial foundation, strengthen integrated application, and promote the innovation and development of the industrial Internet to continue to go deep and solid.

The innovation development trend of China’s industrial Internet

Policy focus “shifting from construction to use”

The four years of innovation and development of the industrial Internet are four years of “construction-oriented and demonstration-driven”. Facing the new stage of development, the industrial Internet will accelerate to the new direction of “D201138L use-oriented and construction-oriented”. In the past four years, guided by The State Council’s “Guiding Opinions on Deepening the” Internet + Advanced Manufacturing “Development of the Industrial Internet”, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has successively issued a number of policies on network, platform, data, security and application. Under the coordination of the Industrial Internet Special working Group, the three-year action plan for the Industrial Internet from 2018 to 2020 has exceeded expectations. Relying on the industrial Internet innovation and development project, a large number of public service platforms have been built, a number of pilot D201138L demonstration projects with benchmarking effect have been formed, and a number of industrial demonstration bases have been built, and the demonstration and leading role has been strengthened. Since 2021, industrial Internet related policies and pilot demonstrations have accelerated the in-depth promotion of industrial application, strengthened support and guidance for different forms of carriers such as “Industrial Internet + park” and “Industrial Internet + industrial cluster”,

and strengthened the overall promotion of the application of “5G+ Industrial Internet” in key industries such as steel, chemical industry and building materials. We will expand and strengthen the application of integrated innovation in specific areas such as “Industrial Internet + safe production” and “Industrial Internet + green and low-carbon”, and strengthen the classification of different entities such as large group enterprises and small and medium-sized enterprises. D201138L In addition, 31 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) across the country have issued local policies, and many provinces continue to enrich the policy “toolbox”, using major technology and equipment research and development, technological transformation, intelligent manufacturing and other support methods to promote the establishment of industrial Internet industry funds, guide social capital to actively layout, and accelerate the application of industrial Internet industry for local advantageous industries.

Infrastructure development “from strong to strong”

Over the past four years, the construction of the functional system of the industrial Internet has been gradually improved, and an infrastructure system adapted to the development stage of the industrial Internet has been formed “from scratch”. The network system has been strengthened, and the construction of high-quality external networks has basically covered all cities and provinces in the country, connecting nearly 200,000 industrial enterprises. New network technologies such as 5G have accelerated the transformation of enterprises’ internal networks. The integration of sign construction, application and management has been promoted, and five top nodes have been put into operation, and 169 secondary nodes have been built. The construction of the platform system has accelerated, and nearly 1,000 industrial Internet platforms have been built across the country, including more than 150 industrial Internet platforms with D201138L certain industry and regional influence. Fifteen cross-industry and cross-field comprehensive platforms have developed steadily, a number of characteristic and specialized platforms have continued to emerge, and a multi-level systematic platform system has taken shape. Initial results have been achieved in the construction of the data system, and the “1+N” system of the national Industrial Internet big data Center has been basically completed, forming a systematic layout covering the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, Yangtze River Delta, Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, and Chengdu-Chongqing twin city economic circle. The security system has been continuously improved, and the monitoring scope has covered 14 important industrial sectors, 140 key platforms, and more than 110,000 Internet-connected enterprises. Threat monitoring and information notification and handling have been continuously strengthened, and the security guarantee capacity has been continuously improved. In the next step, the construction of industrial Internet infrastructure will continue to deepen in full combination with the actual needs and realistic scenarios of the digital transformation of the manufacturing industry, and continue to find a new direction.
