The reporter from Jiandao.com learned that there are currently more than 1,500 "5G+ Industrial Internet" projects in China. The next step of "5G+ Industrial Internet" will be the first to deploy applications in the five major industries of electronic equipment manufacturing, equipment manufacturing, steel, mining, and power. At the same time, more support measures will be launched, including accelerating the development and industrialization of key products through financial guidance, building a 5G fully connected factory demonstration benchmark and a national industrial Internet industry demonstration base, and promoting the "5G + industrial Internet" in-depth manufacturing And other key links to lay the foundation for large-scale applications.

The integration of 5G and industrial Internet applications will further upgrade and accelerate

In Shouyang County, Jinzhong City, Shanxi, I walked into the 500-meter underground production site of Xinyuan Coal Mine of Lu'an Chemical Group. The 5G connection allows the roadheader and coal mining machine to have real-time remote control functions, and the staff can stay away from underground high temperature and high humidity. , High-dust and other harsh working environments, remotely monitor and control the entire process of blasting, mining, and transmission with high-definition. Combined with artificial intelligence algorithms, the video surveillance device can also identify and alert the status of underground workers, improving the ability to quickly respond to abnormal events. The staff told reporters that 5G technology efficiently supports the remote control of underground equipment, realizes "machine in and man retreat", greatly reduces the intensity of underground work, solves the problem of high risk factor and high labor intensity in traditional manual operations, and allows miners to avoid "Black-collar" changes to "Blue-collar".

"I'm doing safety inspections underground. The signal is good and the equipment is operating normally." In the Pangpangta Coal Mine of Shanxi Coking Coal Group, 5G signals are fully covered, and underground safety personnel are interconnecting with the underground in real time through 5G high-definition audio and video calls. With the empowerment of 5G, the underground transformer room, pump room, etc. have all realized the use of unmanned systems, the number of related workers has been reduced by 60 people, and the annual cost savings are expected to exceed 7.5 million yuan; there are more than 8,000 sensors and more than 1,000 underground The cameras form a comprehensive perception network to collect and monitor environmental data such as underground methane and wind speed in real time, escorting the intelligent control and safe production of coal mines.

These are the epitome of the accelerated implementation of China's "5G + Industrial Internet". According to Zhao Zhiguo, director of the Information and Communication Administration Bureau of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, as of now, more than 1,500 "5G + Industrial Internet" projects have been built by industrial enterprises across the country, covering 22 important industries in the national economy. "5G+Industrial Internet" has become one of the fields with the highest industrial enthusiasm, the most active innovation, and the most effective results in the development of Industrial Internet and 5G.

In recent years, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has successively promulgated the "5G+Industrial Internet" 512 Project Promotion Plan, "Notice on Promoting the Accelerated Development of Industrial Internet", and "Notice on Accelerating the Promotion of 5G Development" and other policies. Technology, innovative applications, and resource supply capabilities are coordinated to promote the integrated application of "5G + Industrial Internet". The "Industrial Internet Innovation and Development Action Plan (2021-2023)" issued at the end of last year proposed that by 2023, the industrial Internet network infrastructure covering all regions and industries will be initially completed, and 30 5G full connections will be built in 10 key industries. factory.

Local governments have also issued relevant policies to support the Industrial Internet and 5G. At present, nearly 20 provinces and cities have made full use of existing policy funding channels to increase their support for "5G + Industrial Internet". The Yangtze River Delta, Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao, Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, Central China and other regions have formed multiple industrial clusters around areas with regional advantages and characteristics.

China's "5G + Industrial Internet" is still in its infancy

"China is one of the first countries in the world to commercialize 5G. 5G technology, industry, and applications have entered no man’s land, especially for industries. There is no precedent, no experience, no standards to promote the integration and innovation of 5G and the real economy. It is possible to follow the laws of mobile communication technology evolution, network construction, and market development, based on the national conditions, and walk out the road of 5G development with Chinese characteristics.” said Liu Liehong, a member of the Party Leadership Group and Vice Minister of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.

Cao Jiguang, deputy director of the Institute of Technology and Standards of China Academy of Information and Communications Technology, said in an interview that the current "5G + Industrial Internet" integration application is in a critical period of transition from "model room" to "commercial housing". In the cultivating stage of "construction while improving, and application while optimizing", it is inevitable to encounter industrial developments such as large investment in network construction, long construction period, insufficient technical industry support, unclear business models, and poor connection between production and demand. Common problems faced in the early days.

The Politburo meeting of the CPC Central Committee held a few days ago proposed that it is necessary to lead the optimization and upgrading of industries, strengthen the national strategic scientific and technological strength, actively develop the industrial Internet, and accelerate the digitalization of the industry.

The reporter was informed that in 2021, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will focus its efforts on the consolidation and promotion of the industrial foundation, the application and promotion of mature models, the deepening and expansion of innovative models, and the development and growth of industrial ecology to accelerate the development of "5G + Industrial Internet". Specifically, relying on the industrial Internet innovation and development project, and through financial guidance, accelerate the development and industrialization of key products and systems of the "5G + Industrial Internet". Continue to carry out "5G + Industrial Internet" pilot demonstrations to promote the application and promotion of mature models in more industries and fields. Create 3 to 5 5G fully connected factory demonstration benchmarks, explore the implementation of the integration and development of IT, OT, and CT, and promote the penetration of 5G applications from peripheral auxiliary links to core production links. Focusing on "5G + Industrial Internet", select 2 to 3 national industrial Internet industry demonstration bases to promote industrial agglomeration and collaborative innovation.

In promoting the implementation of applications, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology recently released ten typical application scenarios and five key industries of "5G + Industrial Internet". Among them, five major industries such as electronic equipment manufacturing, equipment manufacturing, steel, mining, and electric power will usher in the first layout application. On this basis, the follow-up will accelerate the expansion of applications to more industries such as ports, energy, and transportation.

Experts said that the next step is to continuously stimulate the development potential of "5G + Industrial Internet" through innovation and development. Cao Jiguang suggested to strengthen the innovation of 5G technology for industry, strengthen the integrated and innovative application of 5G and big data, cloud computing, artificial intelligence and other technologies in the industrial field; improve the supply capacity of the 5G industry, and strengthen industrial-grade 5G chips, modules, and gateways It will greatly reduce the cost of key components and explore new network construction models; create a number of network construction and application innovation benchmarks and models for key industries, encourage localities to build on the advantages of industrial clusters, and create "5G + Industrial Internet" pilot zones; "5G+Industrial Internet" integrates innovation and development into local policies, and sets more powerful policies in terms of investment promotion, talent cultivation, tax reduction and fee reduction.
