Industry changes the world, who is changing industry?

 

As soon as the first World Internet Industry Conference held on October 15th opened, the organizer threw such a question to hundreds of guests from all over the world. As the first international high-end summit focusing on the major proposition of "Internet + industry" in China, strategic initiators and practitioners such as "Industrial Internet" in the United States, "Industry 4.0" in Germany and "Made in China 2025" gathered together to talk about "Internet The road of industrial transformation in the times".

 

The wheels of the times keep rolling, and the wheels of industrial development have never stopped. We are in an era of profound changes. Facing the new trend of technological innovation, major countries in the world are accelerating the changes and seizing the opportunities for future economic and technological development. As Herman, CEO of the Siemens Group Greater China, said, the current industry has once again become an important engine, and the United States, Germany, Japan, and China are actually facing the same challenges and problems.

 

 "The old power is weakening, and the new power will be born." This is Li Yizhong's judgment on the current growth momentum of my country. He believes that my country's manufacturing industry is experiencing a "dual squeeze" of the revival of high-end return from developed countries and the low-cost entry of developing countries. Renovating and upgrading traditional industries and accelerating the development of emerging industries must work simultaneously, and must not be unbalanced. Implementing "Made in China 2025" and launching "Internet +" action is one of the important ways. my country will basically achieve industrialization in 2020, and "Internet + manufacturing" has even more important strategic significance. Li Yizhong specifically pointed out that the industrial enterprises that realize the transformation, optimization and upgrading are the main actors of "Internet+". The real economy enterprises, Internet enterprises, and telecommunications enterprises cross-border integration, collaborative interaction, reform and innovation, rather than subversive each other.

 

Wu Hequan, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, pointed out that Industrial Internet is a rare leapfrog development opportunity for China, which is in the process of enterprise transformation and development mode transformation. In the era of industrial Internet, the key points of corporate value and strategic thinking need to be reviewed.

 

Zhang Ruimin, Chairman and CEO of Haier Group, believes that the Internet has brought three major disruptions: business models from division of labor to distribution, manufacturing models from large-scale manufacturing to mass customization, and consumption models from product economy to experience economy. However, there is no ready-made model for how to use the Internet to transform industry. We must shift from thinking about "what" to "why", challenging ourselves and the status quo forever. Zhang Ruimin issued an appeal to the enterprise-"Get off the treadmill and integrate into the Internet".

 

Since the beginning of this year, the State Council has issued guidelines for the implementation of "Made in China 2025" and "Internet +" actions. How should my country's industrial transformation and upgrading go? The guests agreed that the national conditions of each country are different, the manufacturing base is different, and the development path and model of the industrial Internet must also be different. It must be adapted to local conditions and enterprises.

 

Xu Rujun, president of the Economic Daily, believes that the US manufacturing industry is highly developed and is the number one Internet power. Its industrial Internet focuses more on network and information services. The core is to build an industrial information highway and maintain its leading position in manufacturing. Germany is a manufacturing powerhouse, with world-leading equipment manufacturing technology. German Industry 4.0 pays more attention to equipment and technology upgrades, highlighting the two themes of smart factories and smart production. The characteristics of my country are that the Internet is relatively developed, and the manufacturing industry is generally large but not strong. "my country's manufacturing industry must take the parallel development path of Industry 2.0 supplementary courses, Industry 3.0 popularization, and Industry 4.0 demonstration. Enterprises in various regions should be reasonably positioned, respect scientific laws, and cannot be achieved overnight." Xu Rujun said.

 

Academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering Lu Bingheng believes that a relatively complete industrial system, a large domestic demand market, and good human resources are the comparative advantages of China's manufacturing industry. "Made in China 2025" needs the coordination of the whole society, "Use the Internet to transform our industry, we can't wait, wait and see, don't slack!"

 

Kunusen, assistant country director of the United Nations Development Program and director of the South-South Policy Cooperation Division, said that in the field of high-tech manufacturing, China has achieved a three-fold development in about 10 years, which is an important promotion of economic development. Li's information industry has also achieved rapid development. China's success has made other emerging economies realize the important role played by technological innovation in the process of economic development. Strategies such as "Made in China 2025" and "Internet +" are forming a driving force for innovation, which is consistent with the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
