PXIE-1095 • The weak industrial base and the continuous deepening of transformation are incompatible challenges to development security

At present, China’s industrial Internet basic hardware and software localization degree is low, “the first, the stronger” industrial pattern is not easy to break through, key technology products are subject to foreign, such as R & D design software, high-end industrial sensors up to 90% of the market are monopolized by foreign enterprises, such as smart sensors global market size is expected to exceed 90 billion US dollars by 2027, Mainly rely on Honeywell, Infineon and other foreign enterprises to provide. Network and system integration is dominated by foreign technology, China is at the low end of the industrial value chain, and more than 95% of high-end programmable logic controllers and industrial network protocols are monopolized by foreign manufacturers. In the face of the wave of continuous development of the digital economy and the deepening of the digital transformation of the manufacturing industry, the position of basic hardware and software in the development of the industrial Internet industry is increasingly strengthened, but the weak industrial foundation is not easy to change in the short term, which puts higher requirements on the overall efficiency of the industrial technology innovation system.
• Limited financial support and incongruity of triple attribute requirements PXIE-1095 challenge the pace of development

The industrial Internet has the triple attributes of infrastructure, technological innovation and industrial development, and has a more complex demand in the diversity of financial support and a long-term stable demand in the intensity of financial support. As an infrastructure, the industrial Internet has the characteristics of strategy, security, and external economy, and carries the important task of realizing the upgrading of the industrial base and the modernization of the industrial chain. In terms of technological innovation and promoting industrial development, the industrial Internet deeply integrates the new generation of information technology such as cloud computing and big data, opening up the “cloud network edge”, accelerating the innovation of communication technology, information technology and control technology, and accelerating the application of enabling industries to cultivate and form new business forms. All the above links need to give play to the sustainability and effectiveness of government investment, mobilize the enthusiasm of social capital, promote cooperation between the government and social capital, and gather joint efforts from all walks of life.
• The incompatibility between business model choice and industrial operation practice challenges the development model

PXIE-1095

The development of the industrial Internet is in the stage of moving from exploration to depth, without lessons from the past, no path to follow, the development path and application model are still in constant PXIE-1095 exploration, blindly applying the development thinking of the consumer Internet “concept hype – traffic traction – attracting investment”, can not bridge the gap between products, services, solutions and the actual scene of the industry demand pain points. The commonality of consumer Internet users’ demand for platform services is greater than heterogeneity, and it is easier to have demand-side scale economy effect and “winner-takes-all” situation, while the industrial Internet involves more complex application scenarios, low standardization, high differentiation and personalized degree, and lacks the soil of scale economy. The development of the industrial Internet in the future should be “thousands of lines and various industries”, and each industry has a specific industrial Internet system solution.

Measures and suggestions

The “14th Five-Year Plan” period is a key development period for China’s industrial Internet to shift from exploration to rapid advancement, and a driving turning period from better playing the government’s guiding role to more fully playing the leading role of the market. In order to continue to promote the innovation and development of the industrial Internet, it is necessary to increase the speed in the following four aspects.

First, maintain strategic focus on the industrial Internet. Accurately grasp the current stage of development of the industrial Internet, further increase policy guidance and support for the industrial Internet, further gather consensus on the innovation and development of the industrial Internet, avoid speculation of various new concepts, and further coordinate the development ideas of all parties. In full consideration of China’s industrial base and industrial development on the basis of the national conditions, to further maintain the continuation of the strategy and solid progress – an enterprise after an enterprise to tap potential, one industry after another industry promotion, step by step solid progress.

Second, we will strengthen policy support. Continue to strengthen policy coordination, further PXIE-1095 increase financial support, increase capital investment in technological transformation, and shift from support for equipment and technology to support for digital transformation. Explore the establishment of a diversified and multi-channel social investment mechanism, strengthen financial support for the digital transformation of small and medium-sized enterprises, and make good use of inclusive fiscal and tax support policies. Give full play to the pilot demonstration effect, orderly guide enterprises to give full play to their own advantages to professional development, and cultivate a number of industry leaders.

Third, we need to consolidate the industrial base. Promote integrated innovation in smart chips, smart sensing terminals, and “AI+ industrial software”, promote innovation in new industrial network applications, and strengthen integrated innovation in areas such as industrial brains and 5G fully connected factories. Continue to promote the construction of the industrial Internet standard system, and the formulation of standards in the fields of basic commonality, key technologies, and typical applications needs to be improved. Relying on the construction of “new engineering”, we will improve the professional system of industrial Internet discipline, build a number of practical training bases, and train applied, composite and innovative talents.

Fourth, we will strengthen innovation in integrated application. We will promote the intelligent upgrading of industrial production and manufacturing service systems, the extension of industrial chains and the expansion of value chains, form a development paradigm in which large enterprises take the lead and small and medium-sized enterprises are widely used, cultivate and promote a number of digital platforms, system solutions, products and services that meet the actual needs of small and medium-sized enterprises, and further promote the integrated development of large and medium-sized enterprises. Accelerate the digital transformation of key industries, focus on the actual needs of high-value equipment asset management, safety and environmental protection management optimization, large-scale customization, supply chain traceability and other industries, and orderly guide industrial Internet-related enterprises to carry out enabling services. Continue to carry out pilot demonstration work on the industrial Internet, create a number of application innovation demonstration benchmarks, explore the construction of data model trading based on the industrial Internet, supply chain intermediary services and other business models, and promote advanced production models, resource organization methods, innovative management and service forms.
