“In recent years, China’s industrial Internet has developed well, effectively improving the level of industrial integration and innovation, effectively accelerating the pace of digital transformation of the manufacturing industry, and effectively promoting the high-quality development of the real economy.” Xu Xiaolan, president of the China Industrial Internet Research Institute, said in an interview with China Industry News that the in-depth implementation of industrial Internet innovation and development aims to promote the deep integration of the new generation of information technology and the real economy such as manufacturing, and realize the comprehensive link of the whole elements, the whole industrial chain and the whole value chain of the industrial economy, especially to achieve cross-enterprise, cross-field and cross-industry interconnection. Overcome the pain points, difficulties and blockages of traditional industries, create new industries and new driving forces, explore new paths, new models, new scenarios, and open up new battlefields for enterprise development.

We will promote high-quality growth of the national economy

Driven by a new round of scientific and technological revolution, the industrial Internet has become an important force to promote the high-quality development of the national economy.

According to the “White Paper on China’s Industrial Internet Industry Economy (2020)” released by the China Industrial Internet Research Institute in mid-July, the added value of China’s industrial Internet industry reached 3.41 trillion yuan in 2019, with a nominal growth rate of 22.14%, and the proportion of GDP was 3.44%. It is expected that the added value of the industrial Internet industry will reach 3.78 trillion yuan this year.

“The industrial Internet is becoming an important force to promote industrial integration and innovation, accelerate the digital transformation of manufacturing, and promote the high-quality development of the real economy.” Song Yingchang, deputy director of the Industrial Internet Research Office of CCID Think Tank, said in an interview with China Industry News.

Song Yingchang said that from the scale point of view, the industrial Internet has become an important driving force to promote the high-quality growth of the national economy. From a structural point of view, the industrial Internet is becoming the enabling basis for accelerating the pace of digital transformation in various industries. From the benefit point of view, the industrial Internet will become a key starting point for manufacturing enterprises to improve quality, reduce cost and increase efficiency. “The industrial Internet has been extended from manufacturing to all areas of the real economy, and is widely used in more than 30 key industries of the national economy such as construction machinery, power, petrochemical, and energy, and its role in improving quality and efficiency and saving costs and reducing consumption has been highlighted.” Especially during the COVID-19 epidemic this year, a large number of enterprises have achieved remarkable results in accelerating the resumption of work and production and responding quickly to the market by applying the industrial Internet to connect supply and demand, allocate resources, and flexibly transfer production.” Song Yingchang pointed out.

In this regard, Xu Xiaolan also said that the industrial Internet has unique advantages in the scenes of supply and demand docking, material statistics, production capacity improvement, cloud scheduling, cloud testing, etc., during the epidemic. After the epidemic, the industrial Internet will become the preferred option for economic development.”
