The Industrial Internet represents an ecosystem formed by the integration of the Internet with advanced information technologies and industrial systems. It serves as a crucial infrastructure for the development of industrial intelligence, enabling the interconnection of machines, raw materials, control systems, information systems, products, and people. Through comprehensive data perception, real-time transmission, and advanced analytical modeling, it facilitates intelligent decision-making and control, driving the evolution of smart manufacturing.
In recent years, breakthroughs in emerging technologies such as the Internet, IoT, cloud computing, big data, and artificial intelligence have begun to merge with innovations in industrial materials, processes, and energy. This has triggered a new wave of technological revolutions and industrial transformations globally, giving rise to new production methods, organizational structures, and business models. As a result, the Industrial Internet has emerged as a necessity, accelerating the intelligent transformation of global industries. Smart manufacturing is now a dominant trend in the global manufacturing sector.
The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology recently highlighted at a seminar on the Implementation Guide for Industrial Internet Platforms that the State Council’s "Strategic Deployment of the Industrial Internet Platform" will speed up the refinement of the "Guidelines for the Implementation of Industrial Internet Platform Construction and Promotion Projects." The initiative also emphasizes promoting the deployment of key equipment on the cloud and other related efforts.
Industry experts believe that the release of these guidelines signals the country's strong commitment to advancing the Industrial Internet. It is anticipated that the official guidelines will be released this year, followed by further supportive policies aimed at fostering growth in the sector.
China's "Made in China 2025" strategy aims to build a powerful manufacturing nation through three strategic steps. It emphasizes integrating new-generation information technology with manufacturing, focusing on intelligent manufacturing. The plan also highlights the development of smart equipment and products, the promotion of intelligent production processes, and the nurturing of new production methods. It seeks to enhance the overall intelligence level across R&D, production, management, and service operations within enterprises.
Additionally, "Made in China 2025" calls for strengthening the planning and layout of Industrial Internet infrastructure, building a low-latency, high-reliability, and wide-coverage network. It also focuses on upgrading fiber-optic and mobile communication networks, deploying wireless LANs, enhancing broadband access, and developing intelligent control systems and industrial software. These efforts aim to enable real-time communication, accurate identification, and effective interaction between people, equipment, and products.
To further promote the use of the Industrial Internet in manufacturing and elevate the industry's intelligence level, the Chinese government has introduced a series of policies designed to boost industrial informatization and strengthen the international competitiveness of Chinese manufacturing.
According to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, China’s Industrial Internet has entered its application phase. From 2018 to 2020, the country will accelerate the construction and development of Industrial Internet based on guiding documents. Technologies like IPv6, NB-IoT, SDN, and 5G will be gradually deployed in the industrial sector, leading to the formation of a mature Industrial Internet system.
By 2020, China aims to establish a basic Industrial Internet platform system, with about 10 cross-industry platforms capable of supporting digital, networked, and intelligent production. The government also plans to cultivate 300,000 industrial apps and encourage 300,000 enterprises to adopt Industrial Internet platforms for various operations. This will mark the initial role of the Industrial Internet in driving industrial upgrades.
Globally, the Industrial Internet is seen as a major trend in manufacturing and economic development. According to reports from research institutions, the number of sensors used in the Industrial Internet is expected to exceed 30 billion by 2020. The number of connected devices is projected to grow rapidly, reaching over 10 billion by 2021, with a compound annual growth rate of 25%.
Looking ahead, the Industrial Internet is expected to impact 46% of the global economy, valued at around $32.3 trillion. In China, it holds similar potential, with estimates suggesting it could contribute up to $3 trillion in GDP growth over the next 20 years, fueling the transformation of the manufacturing sector and sustaining economic growth.
Currently, industries such as manufacturing, petrochemicals, power, healthcare, aerospace, and rail transit show the highest demand for the Industrial Internet. Large enterprises, including those in China and the military, are already investing in Industrial Internet strategies. As adoption grows, upstream and downstream industries will also integrate with the Industrial Internet, creating new opportunities across the value chain.
In conclusion, as the core driver of the ongoing global industrial revolution, the Industrial Internet will provide essential infrastructure for smart manufacturing and help shape a new industrial ecosystem. With the next wave of industrial transformation, industries tied to the Industrial Internet are set for rapid growth.
