This year marks the 75th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China and is a critical year for achieving the goals and tasks of the 14th Five-Year Plan. As a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation forms a historic intersection with China's accelerated transformation of its economic development model, the development of new quality productivity has become an important measure to consolidate the material and technological foundation for the comprehensive construction of a modern socialist country, and it is an inevitable trend.
Those who observe the trend are wise, those who analyze the trend are intelligent, and those who follow the trend will succeed. Based in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, we will go to key cities covered by major regional strategies to find the shining highlights of China's technological innovation and industrial innovation, and start the third season of the in-depth investigation of digitalization of enterprises in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. From May to August this year, Yangcheng Evening News will join hands with many media outlets across the country to carry out the national tour of new quality productivity. Through in-depth research reports, we will present to readers the "renewed" picture of new quality productivity with a surge in technological innovation, a rise in industrial iteration, and a surging momentum of digitalization.
In Wuhan, around the topic of information and communication, Yangcheng Evening News and Jimu News jointly went deep into the front line of scientific innovation and industry to explore the "secret" of building new quality productivity.
If the ID card is the only symbol that represents everyone in the real world, then in the world of industrial Internet, "identification" is the digital ID card of all things.
China Academy of Information and Communications Technology (hereinafter referred to as "CAICT") is a scientific research institution directly under the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. It adheres to the development positioning of "national high-end professional think tank industry innovation and development platform" and has played a strong supporting role in major strategies, planning, policies, standards and testing and certification in the information and communication industry.
In November 2020, the Central Base of CAICT was established in Wuhan. As an industrial Internet innovation and development hub rooted in Wuhan and radiating to the four central provinces of Hubei, Hunan, Jiangxi and Henan, the Central Base of CAICT takes the construction and operation of new infrastructure such as the National Top Node (Wuhan) for Industrial Internet Identifier Resolution as the entry point, and strives to drive the strong development of the electronic information and manufacturing industry chains.
When asked why the central base was located in Wuhan, Tan Min, director of the Central Operations Center of the Institute of Engineering Physics of the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology and a professor-level senior engineer, said, “It is a thoroughfare with a strong industry.”
Let each product have its own "official ID card"
With its convenient location, Wuhan has the world's leading optical communication companies and a strong traditional automobile manufacturing industry, which give it sufficient industrial foundation. After all, the leading enterprises are particularly important for "marking and building nodes" in the field of industrial Internet.
As the core infrastructure of my country's industrial Internet, the industrial Internet identification resolution system is the key to supporting the interconnection and interoperability of the industrial Internet, and is also an important part of completing the task of "accelerating the development of the industrial Internet."
"Only when there are enough leading enterprises can the upstream and downstream enterprises in the industrial chain be enriched, and only then can the foundation for opening up the identification system be established." Tan Min said that what identification resolution needs to do is not to create a new set of rules, but to break down the data barriers that were difficult to interoperate in the past. "In fact, before our identification system was established, the industry already had identification, but it was a private identification with different standards."
In layman's terms, the identification resolution system is like requiring everyone to speak Mandarin. Each item is marked with a unique "official ID card". In the subsequent production and sales process, information can be obtained through the identification, so that the whole process can be traced. The advantages brought by this behavior are also obvious. Communication between enterprises is more convenient and the synergy of the industrial chain is more efficient.
"Take automobiles as an example. With such a system, the languages of the markets from automobile manufacturing to the automobile after-sales service are mutually interoperable, and information can be queried anytime and anywhere," said Tan Min.
According to reports, Wuhan's top-level nodes have been connected to 40 secondary nodes, with more than 22,000 enterprises connected. Tan Min revealed that the current number of registered logos has exceeded 20 billion, and the cumulative number of logo resolutions has exceeded 16 billion times. He further stated that in the future, it is planned to initially achieve large-scale applications in industries such as petrochemicals and medical care, and to create a number of typical application scenarios in the fields of industrial and financial services, green and low-carbon, safe production, and industrial clusters.
Build a bridge between government and enterprises
The difficulty of infrastructure construction, in addition to the breakthrough and realization of the technology itself, is also how to enable upstream and downstream enterprises in the industrial chain to participate in it on their own. In order to answer this question well, Tan Min and his colleagues have another important task every day: "Build a bridge for communication between government and enterprises."
Tan Min cited the example of digital transformation. In order to promote the digital transformation of small and medium-sized enterprises, the Central Base of China Academy of Information and Communications Technology has established a professional think tank for cities to carry out pilot projects for the government side and promote the digital diagnosis and transformation of small and medium-sized enterprises to ensure that the pilot work is implemented. In April 2022, the Wuhan Digital Economy Development Research Institute was officially unveiled and established to organize digital economy service groups, training, research and other activities in response to government needs.
For small and medium-sized enterprises, a Small and Medium-sized Enterprise Digital Transformation Promotion Center has been established, and training is provided for the heads of small and medium-sized enterprises.
"Enterprises and governments are concerned about different issues. Enterprises are more focused on how to improve the efficiency of digital transformation, while the government has to consider more about industry activation, policy guidance, etc. In the process of communicating with both sides, we can also gain a lot of new things and build a bridge between the two sides." Tan Min mentioned.
In 2023, the Central Base established the Hubei Branch of the Consumer Goods Industry Digital Transformation Promotion Center in Hubei. Tan Min said that this year, the Hubei Branch will focus on consumer goods industries such as food, textiles, and medicine to create a series of new applications such as personalized customization, food traceability, and quality credit system construction. "In addition, this year we will also combine the development of Hubei's key industries to strive to cooperate with leading enterprises to build a provincial digital transformation promotion center, and strive to cultivate a national digital transformation promotion center in the future."
As more and more companies join, the industry ecosystem around the core infrastructure of identification is gradually taking shape. However, Tan Min also said that companies are still breaking through data barriers due to market demand, and they also need to build localized support service capabilities through industry supply and demand docking platforms. "I think this is a definite trend, and platformization is the future of the industrial Internet."
