With the strategic transformation of China's economic development and the proposed concept of Made in China 2025 and Industry 4.0, the manufacturing industry has ushered in a new wave of development. In this context, more and more traditional enterprises have felt heavy pressure and opened the road of transformation and change.
For manufacturing enterprises, how to deploy enterprise intelligent manufacturing solutions? How to establish the enterprise's own characteristics of intelligent manufacturing construction system? How to plan the enterprise digital transformation and upgrading platform?
Enterprises have set off a boom in industrial iot applications
Industrial Internet of Things is the core basis of industry 4.0, it is the use of local network or the Internet and other communication technology, sensors, controllers, machines, people and items through new ways together, the formation of people and things, things and things are connected, to achieve information, remote management control and intelligent network, so as to maximize the efficiency of the machine and the throughput of the entire work.
With the continuous advancement of intelligent manufacturing strategy and the gradual deepening of enterprise transformation, the application value of the Internet of Things in industrial transformation has become increasingly prominent. Enterprises have clearly realized that in order to achieve intelligent decision-making and automated production, people, machines, and things are inseparable from the comprehensive interconnection. At present, the industrial Internet of Things boom is all over China and has become the focus of attention of all parties.
According to IDC, overall global iot spending will grow 16.7% year over year in 2017 to just over $800 billion. The report predicts that global iot spending will reach $1.4 trillion by 2021. This includes enterprise investments in iot hardware, software, services and network connectivity. By sector, manufacturing and transportation will continue to receive the most investment, at $183 billion and $85 billion, respectively.
For most enterprises, although iot technology has been around for decades, its application scope is limited to operational activities, and the potential of data is not fully unlocked in the enterprise. With advances in connectivity, big data management, business analytics and the cloud, we are now able to merge operational technology with information technology to build smarter machines and drive end-to-end digital transformation.
