Accelerate the promotion of industrial-grade 5G products, and promote "5G + Industrial Internet" to empower the real economy

Steadily promote the construction of "5G + Industrial Internet" private network, and accelerate the R&D and promotion of industrial-grade 5G products... At the 2023 China 5G + Industrial Internet Conference, which opened in Wuhan on the 20th, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology clarified a series of measures to accelerate the application of "5G + Industrial Internet" in various industries.

The relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology said that the next step will be to pay close attention to industrial innovation, promote large-scale application, improve the policy system, explore the construction of a number of "5G + Industrial Internet" integrated application pilot areas, and comprehensively promote the popularization of digital manufacturing industry.

The introduction of intelligent manufacturing system, the production of traditional Chinese medicine preparations to achieve the whole process of quality traceability, through the industrial Internet platform, steelmaking feeding, temperature adjustment and other processes can be completed automatically and accurately, in the 5G high-speed communication mode, the staff can sit in the central control room of the intelligent workshop to complete the ore drawing operation with joysticks and buttons... From smart factories to smart mines, the effects of digital technology empowerment continue to emerge.

According to data from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, China's 5G industry applications have been integrated into the national economy, and there are more than 8,000 "5G + Industrial Internet" projects nationwide. 5G has gone from auxiliary links such as on-site monitoring and intelligent logistics in the factory area to core control links such as remote equipment control and equipment collaborative operation.

"We have independently developed an integrated design platform for products and processes based on vehicle scenarios, opened up the data flow of R&D, process and design, realized process reengineering, and shortened the project cycle of new models from 36 months to 24 months. Lu Fang, CEO of VOYAH Automotive, said that through digital transformation, a flexible production line can meet the mixed production of all models, and even one model can provide personalized production according to user needs, so as to achieve thousands of vehicles and thousands of variety.

"In the process of promoting new industrialization, the industrial Internet has played an important role in three aspects: basic support, innovation driven, and integration leadership. Lu Chuncong, president of the China Industrial Internet Research Institute, said that the industrial Internet has realized a larger range, higher efficiency and more accurate optimization and configuration of industrial data, combining digital technology with the unique knowledge, experience and technology of various industries to promote the transformation of production methods and enterprise forms.

"The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has implemented two three-year action plans in a row, and local governments have introduced relevant support policies. Lu Chuncong believes that with the improvement of the policy system, the consolidation of the industrial foundation, the growth of the ecosystem, and the emergence of new scenarios, new solutions and new models of intelligent manufacturing, the industrial Internet is playing an increasingly important role in promoting industrial transformation.

The industrial volume is large and there are many categories, and they are often interlaced like mountains. The level of digitalization of equipment, units, and workshops in industrial enterprises is not the same, and the application of industrial Internet is also facing problems such as high complexity and difficulty. It is necessary to do a thorough job in one industry and one industry to another, and to develop an industrial Internet platform for subdivisions... Experts make suggestions for promoting the application of "5G + Industrial Internet".

Xiao Xue, chairman of Inspur Yunzhou Industrial Internet Co., Ltd., believes that the new industrial digital infrastructure based on intelligent equipment, internal and external network identification systems, industrial Internet platforms and big data centers is playing an increasingly important role.

The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology released the "2023 5G Factory Directory". Wang Peng, a first-level inspector of the Information and Communication Administration of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said that the purpose of building a 5G factory Chinese brand is to further expand the large-scale and in-depth application of "5G + Industrial Internet".

At the 2023 China 5G+ Industrial Internet Conference, the organizing committee of the conference, together with relevant industry organizations, scientific research institutions, and leading enterprises, released the "Wuhan Initiative for Vigorously Promoting New Industrialization through Digital and Real Integration", proposing to continue to enhance industrial synergy, strengthen technical capabilities, tap application potential, and stimulate ecological vitality. It is mentioned that it will focus on common application scenarios in key areas, promote breakthroughs in key areas, aim at the main direction of intelligent manufacturing, and support the exploration of intelligent application scenarios.

Jin Zhuanglong, Minister of Industry and Information Technology, said that he would carry out collaborative research in the industrial chain and promote systematic breakthroughs in key products such as industrial Internet and industrial software and industrial control systems. Steadily promote the construction of "5G + Industrial Internet" private network, and expand the coverage of industrial sensing network. Formulate and introduce policies and measures to promote the high-quality development of the industrial Internet, focus on the five functional systems of network, platform, security, identification and data, create an upgraded version of "5G + Industrial Internet", comprehensively improve the digital level of the manufacturing industry, and continuously enhance the new momentum of the development of the real economy.
