The Industrial Internet Revolution "Quietly": China's advantages are gradually rising

Because the core of the Internet of Things is the Industrial Internet; because, in comparison, the Industrial Internet has a more profound impact on the value of our production, life and survival than the consumer Internet.

From the perspective of national strategy. Relevant materials will mention German Industry 4.0, the US Industrial Internet, and Made in China 2025, which are used to prove that the national level has already been "struck." The so-called: the ordinary consumer level "travel, sharing, consumption upgrade" related business information is flying all over the sky, the huge industry, manufacturing level, "the industrial Internet revolution is quiet".

In terms of the lively venture capital direction. The so-called "capital winter" is just the cold winter of mobile Internet projects and O2O projects. The total amount of investment has not decreased, but is still rising, and the proportion of investment in high-end manufacturing has increased significantly. The truth of the "capital winter" is that the consumer Internet industry, which is easier for the public to notice, has entered the cold winter. For high-quality technology companies, it is easier to get money.

Industry is heavy, and so are the “outlets”, and it’s hard to be talked about lightly by the general public.

Kan Lei, CEO of Transformation Workshop, publicly declared: The myth of mobile Internet has been shattered, and industrial digitization will become the biggest outlet within 5 years. Kan Lei said that the industrial robot market has grown by 20% year after year and will reach US$40 billion in 2020. "Industrial Internet will even reach a market of 1.7 trillion US dollars, which is 2.6 times that of 2014."

The 2015 report of the American Manufacturing Productivity Innovation Alliance pointed out that in the next three years, the growth of US information equipment and industrial equipment will reach more than 4 times of GDP, bringing 8% high growth to the world’s largest economy. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of China issued a document requiring that in 2017, domestic industrial technological transformation investment should account for more than 40% of total industrial investment, which will bring 1.6 trillion market opportunities to industrial digitalization this year.

However, just as the birth and development of the world-leading power generation companies have attracted the attention of the world, while the number of widespread applications of electricity, the more far-reaching impact, and the longer-lasting company and industrial changes, are not so concerned; just like leading The birth of the world’s computer companies and the formation of giants caused noise, but the widespread use of computers in all walks of life did not cause bursts of exclamation; the fourth industrial revolution that the Internet has plunged into industry can only be summarized when we look back. Sigh for its magnificent waves.

The Industrial Internet is the convergence of the two revolutions, and 1% can see the magic

Ma Huateng said: "Internet +" is not only limited to the fields of government affairs, people's livelihood, and medical care, but also began to empower the real economy such as retail, aviation, and manufacturing.

Xinmeida CEO Wang Xing said: China's Internet has entered the "second half", "We only did a very thin layer, mainly online drainage, to help merchants do marketing, and to be the last small segment of the entire industry chain. Look, what "Internet +" will do is the Internetization of industries from upstream to downstream in various industries."

These are just the voices of Internet companies.

As far as the Industrial Internet is concerned, there are five forces involved. The future competition is a cross-border battle, a battle of integration, a battle of platforms, and a battle of ecology. It's not fierce.

The first type of enterprises are industrial enterprises;

The second category of companies are IT companies, such as IBM and Microsoft;

The third category is telecom operators, China Mobile, China Unicom, and AT&T of the United States;

The fourth category is Internet companies, such as BAT in China, Google and Amazon in the United States, etc.

The fifth category is emerging startup companies.

Well, it's called "Internet +", the second half of the Internet, and the "Industrial Internet" again, so let's go back to the concept of the Industrial Internet.

"Industrial Internet" is a strategic concept proposed by General Electric Company in 2012. Later, the US manufacturing industry and IT giants formed an industrial Internet alliance. During this period, the concept was accepted by the US government and corresponding support and promotion policies were formulated.

China generally mentions the concept of "industrial Internet", which is mostly used to appeal to the government and group companies to build an "industrial Internet platform."

In the words of General Electric CEO Ismail, the so-called Industrial Internet is "an open, globalized network that connects people, data, and machines. The goal of the Industrial Internet is to upgrade those key industrial fields."

The Industrial Internet is the fusion of the two revolutions, and finally realized the super battleship.

The first is the industrial revolution. The industrial revolution has brought about hundreds of years of development of machines, equipment, facilities and system networks; the second is that decades of development of the Internet revolution have brought forth big data, cloud computing, super algorithms, information and communication systems, etc. Superb technology.

The "Industrial Internet" report released by General Electric has an impressive "1% power".

"The technological innovation of the Industrial Internet will be directly applied in most areas of economic activity with a scale of more than 32.3 trillion US dollars. By 2025, the industrial Internet application field will reach 82 trillion US dollars of output, or account for global Half of the economy."

In the field of commercial aviation alone, saving 1% of fuel in the next 15 years will mean saving $30 billion in costs. Similarly, a 1% increase in the efficiency of all natural gas-fired power plants in the world means savings of US$66 billion worth of fuel. By improving the efficiency of the process, the global medical industry will also benefit from the Industrial Internet. A 1% increase in global medical efficiency means saving more than $63 billion in medical costs.

In the global rail freight industry, if the efficiency is increased by 1%, it will mean a fuel saving of 27 billion U.S. dollars.

"Made in China 2025" proposes to promote the deep integration of industrialization and informatization, which is the same goal as the industrial Internet.

In fact, the Industrial Internet has also created considerable value in all walks of life in China, and this value will continue to grow.

For example, in the aviation field, some local airlines have achieved precise maintenance schedules by relying on the analysis and prediction services of the Industrial Internet, which shortened the maintenance cycle by 90%; in the medical field, there have been three Class-A hospitals through the implementation of industrial Internet asset optimization programs to integrate medical equipment The operating rate was increased to 98.5%, and the grassroots were served by telemedicine.

Industrial Internet of Things technology has been applied to some domestic wind farms. Through real-time detection and active adjustment of equipment, the efficiency of wind turbines has been increased by 4% while ensuring the output stability of wind farms.

China’s advantages, large numbers of people, big data, and an increase in dominating enterprises are China’s practical weapons.

Kan Lei, CEO of Transformation Works, believes that this round of industrial digital revolution is of great significance to China's realization of the rise of a great power, because it must be driven by China.

Professor Li Jie, a world-class industrial big data expert, said: We believe that the center of industry 4.0 will be in China, because the core of industry 4.0 is the value creation of big data, and China is both a major manufacturing country and a major user.

"Industry 4.0 brings opportunities for the transformation and upgrading of China's manufacturing industry. Its core is not to realize automation and informatization, but to focus on the value of manufacturing to users, society and the environment."

The power of large state-owned enterprises, the development of Internet business models with Chinese characteristics, the effectiveness of government policies, the vigorous rise of new start-ups, and the huge market are all China's advantages that cannot be ignored.

Take the performance of industrial robots as an example, showing China's advantages.

In recent years, in order to reduce costs and increase efficiency, the "machine substitution" wave pushed by the government and implemented by enterprises is accelerating the deployment. Guangdong, Zhejiang, Fujian and other major manufacturing provinces continue to promote "machine substitution" from the provincial level, and "black light factories" where robots replace manual production are constantly emerging.

China continues to import industrial robots on a large scale. From 2011 to 2015, China's import volume of industrial robots has ranked first in the world for 5 consecutive years, and its import volume of industrial robots has ranked first in the world for 5 consecutive years.

From an enterprise perspective, in January 2017, Midea Group officially announced the completion of the acquisition of KUKA in Germany. Midea Group, through its overseas wholly-owned subsidiary MECCA, holds a total of 37,605,700 shares of KUKA Group, accounting for 94.55% of the issued share capital of KUKA Group.

KUKA is one of the four big robot families in the world and the purest robot company in the four big families. Because KUKA is a German company, the acquisition of KUKA allows the Chinese company Midea Group to directly grasp the essence of German industry 4.0.

China is now the world's largest industrial automation market, and there is still great potential for development in the future. It is believed that the help of the Industrial Internet makes China's full rise possible.
