The integration and application of the Industrial Internet has fostered the emergence of a number of new models and new business forms, achieving remarkable results in improving quality, efficiency, cost reduction, green development, and safety. It has initially formed six major categories of typical application models: platform-based design, intelligent manufacturing, networked collaboration, personalized customization, service extension, and digital management.
Platform-based design relies on industrial internet platforms to bring together design resources such as personnel, algorithms, models, and tasks, enabling high-level and high-efficiency lightweight design, parallel design, agile design, interaction design, and model-based design. This transforms traditional design methods and improves R&D quality and efficiency.
Intelligent manufacturing is the accelerated innovative application of new-generation information technologies such as the Internet, big data, and artificial intelligence in the manufacturing sector. It enables online connection and real-time interaction between production factors such as materials, equipment, and products and users, gradually realizing the replacement of human production by machines. Intelligent manufacturing represents the future development trend of the manufacturing industry.
Networked collaboration enables companies and partners in the supply chain to share various information resources such as customers, orders, design, production, and operations through cross-departmental, cross-level, and cross-enterprise data exchange and business interconnection. This achieves networked collaborative design, collaborative production, and collaborative services, thereby promoting resource sharing, capability trading, and optimized business allocation.
Personalized customization is a manufacturing service model that addresses consumers' individual needs by accurately acquiring and analyzing customer requirements, agile product development and design, flexible intelligent production, and precise delivery services. It enables users to participate deeply throughout the entire product lifecycle and achieves personalized product design, production, sales, and service through low-cost, high-quality, and high-efficiency mass production.
Servitization is a new industrial form that integrates manufacturing and services. It refers to enterprises extending their original manufacturing business to high value-added links at both ends of the value chain, transforming from processing and assembly to "manufacturing + services", and shifting from simply selling products to selling "products + services". Specifically, it includes equipment health management, remote product maintenance, equipment financial leasing, shared manufacturing, and Internet finance.
Digital management is a new data-driven, efficient operation and management model in which enterprises connect their core data chains, integrate all scenarios and processes of production and manufacturing, and optimize, innovate, and even reshape their business activities such as strategic decision-making, product development, production and manufacturing, operation management, and market services based on the extensive aggregation, integration, optimization, and value mining of data.
