Recently, the policy circle has been a bit "busy", and the benefits of the industrial Internet are popping out like bursts of fire. This is not a simple slogan, but a practical "roadmap" - by 2028, more than 450 high-profile industrial Internet platforms will be created, and at least 50000 enterprises will be pulled to carry out the major transformation of "new industrial networks". With this combination, the goal is clear: let AI equip the industrial Internet with "brain", and by 2025, the scale of core industries will exceed 1.6 trillion yuan. What is planning? It is clearly a blessing for the manufacturing industry!

Say goodbye to 'connected', we need to 'think clearly'

In the past, when we talked about the industrial Internet, we were at most "connected and visible". As the big man in Anshan Iron and Steel said, it was staged. Now generative AI and industrial big models have matured, directly crossing over to "cognitive understanding" and "intelligent decision-making". What concept? In the future, factories will not only be able to transmit data, but also figure out how to save electricity and schedule production on their own. At present, this network has covered 41 industrial categories, and 23000 "5G+Industrial Internet" projects have been launched. Black light factories and unmanned mines are not science fiction for a long time. This wave of operation is actually a complete transformation of old industries such as steel and automobiles.

Everyone can eat this bowl of rice, big or small

As soon as this trend opens, the industrial chain will completely boil. According to the data from Tianyancha, the newly registered industrial Internet enterprises in 2025 have soared by 27.8%, and everyone wants a piece of the pie. The chairman of Inspur Cloud Island sees through it very clearly: large enterprises want to develop specialized large models and play with "high-end customization"; Can't small and medium-sized enterprises afford high-tech? Then promote 'Model as a Service MaaS', using AI like ordering takeout, and stepping on the threshold directly.

The network needs to be 'neural', but when it comes to implementation, it needs to be 'detail oriented'

To make AI truly work, the network must first 'evolve'. Experts from China Unicom have said that in the future, the network will have to be self aware and self deciding, otherwise flexible manufacturing will be just empty talk. But this matter cannot become a big deal in one bite. We need to first focus on production control and equipment collaboration, and develop hardcore technologies such as 5G and time sensitive network TSN. Experts from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology also suggest that we should follow the "equipment production line workshop factory" process step by step, and first enrich the datasets and intelligent agents of key industries such as automobiles and steel. This is the real high-quality development.Editor/Cheng Liting
