"We must adhere to the problem orientation, continuously clarify ideas, innovative methods, and continue to promote the construction and promotion of the industrial Internet platform, accelerate the softwareization of industrial technology, and accelerate the digital transformation of the manufacturing industry." Li Yingzai, inspector of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and Software Services Industry The recent Industrial Technology Software Specialization Forum and the opening event of the "Million Industrial APP Lecture Hall" stated that the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is actively supporting various parties to jointly promote the implementation of industrial technology software engineering projects in various forms.
"At present, the Internet is expanding from consumer fields, virtual economy to production economy, and real economy. The manufacturing industry is accelerating its transformation to digitalization, networking, and intelligence. Data-driven, software-defined, platform-supported, and service-added intelligence-led industries are becoming increasingly prominent. Li Ying said that the Industrial Internet emerged as a new generation of deep integration of information technology and manufacturing, and has become an important force in a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial revolution.
Focusing on promoting the construction of industrial Internet platforms and the cultivation of industrial APPs, Li Ying introduced that the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is improving the policy system, issuing implementation plans and guidance plans, and promoting the introduction of local industrial Internet platform construction measures; fostering industrial Internet platforms and organizing the implementation of industrial Internet platform innovations Development projects, selection of platform integration and innovation application pilot demonstration projects; launch of propaganda training and industrial APP training courses; build an industrial Internet platform innovation ecology, support industry alliances, promote industrial cooperation in four areas, and continue to dynamically optimize.
Yang Xueshan, a former vice minister of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and a professor at Peking University, pointed out that software in the manufacturing process is a tool for intelligent manufacturing. "Tools are substitutes for people, and human behavior and thinking become a substitute process for software, which is composed and completed by six elements: systems, people, data, models, algorithms, software, and industrial technology."
Fu Yongbao, a researcher in the software industry department of the Information Technology and Software Services Department of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, emphasized that the reuse and trading of industrial APPs cannot be separated from the support of the platform. As for the cultivation and exploration of the innovation ecology of the industrial Internet platform, many local governments and key enterprises have jointly launched some public service platforms and innovation centers, which can promote the promotion and application of industrial APPs.
Regarding the importance of the development of industrial APP, Li Yizhang, vice chairman and secretary general of China Industrial Technology Software Industry Alliance and chairman of Suowei System, pointed out that the current two areas of artificial intelligence and manufacturing cannot be integrated and interdependent, and industrial software must be relied on. To break through the barriers, and the core of industrial software is the industrial APP. "The cultivation of industrial APPs requires the provision of methods and tools, policy guidance and capital investment; the important point is to find users, and to achieve precise docking of supply and demand through demand traction." Li Yizhang believes that precise docking of supply and demand is the high quality of industrial APPs. An effective path for efficient cultivation, and in this process, an industrial Internet platform that aggregates more upstream and downstream resources and service resources can play an important role.
"When industrial software resources are connected to the Internet industrial platform, developers and users of industrial APPs will not even have to buy these expensive industrial software in the future." Li Yizhang said.
