The process of empowering thousands of industries through the industrial Internet is long-term. Promoting digital transformation is a “protracted battle”, which requires strategic focus and long-term success.

ACC-36E  This year’s “Government Work Report” proposed to accelerate the development of industrial Internet. This is the industrial Internet has been written into the “Government Work Report” for several consecutive years, demonstrating China’s clear guidance and firm determination to develop the industrial Internet.

In recent years, China’s industrial Internet has taken solid steps, showing broad prospects and surging momentum. The basic system is more perfect, there are more than 150 industrial Internet platforms with certain industry and regional influence, and the “comprehensive + professional + characteristic” platform system has been preliminarily established. Breakthroughs have been made in key technologies, and technological research, standard development and industrialization processes such as 5G industrial modules and smart sensing terminals have accelerated. The process of integration and innovation has accelerated, and tens of thousands of application cases and 20 typical scenarios have been formed in a number of key industries of the national economy, such as machinery, electronics, and energy, and a new ecosystem with enterprises as the main body and highly interconnected production, finance, learning, research and use has been growing.

While progress has been remarkable, challenges remain. ACC-36E  On the one hand, there are many industrial categories in China, and industrial control agreements are complex and diverse, which increases the difficulty of equipment interconnection. On the other hand, the digitalization level of different enterprises varies greatly. Research shows that about 40% of smes are in the initial stage of digitalization, about 50% are in the implementation stage, and only less than 10% are in the deepening stage, which urgently needs to form a number of replicable and scalable business models and application scenarios. More importantly, the level of independent innovation in industrial hardware and software needs to be improved.

ACC-36E  In the face of many challenges in terms of industrial foundation, industrial level, and deep-seated applications, it is more necessary to maintain strategic focus and promote the further development of the industrial Internet. It should be seen that the process of empowering thousands of industries through the industrial Internet is long-term. This is determined by the law of industrial digital development, but also by the national conditions of China’s industrial development, although not urgent, but also can not wait, slow.

First of all, we should play a good policy “combination”, strengthen the efficient coordination between the ministry and the central and local governments, and continuously strengthen the project financial support and guidance because of the industry’s appropriate measures. ACC-36E  Secondly, it should also carry out a multi-party “team competition”, cooperate with all parties to speed up the construction of an ecosystem based on the network, the platform as the center, the data as the element, the security as the guarantee, the industry as the support, and the application as the traction, and support a number of “specialized and special new” small and medium-sized enterprises to make innovation breakthroughs in the field of segmentation. Third, to implement innovation “battle”, improve key hardware and software technology innovation and supply capacity, in the new industrial network, industrial Internet integration innovation layout, breakthrough in the field of industrial control, sensors, industrial software and other problems.

Promoting digital transformation is a “protracted war”. Only by maintaining strategic focus and working for a long time can we win the first opportunity, expand our advantages, and master the initiative in the new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation.
