1, the Internet industry, in the end who is the first to put forward?

General Electric (GE).

As early as the end of 2012, GE proposed, should industrial equipment and IT technology integration.

In 2013, General Electric Company formally proposed the concept of the industrial revolution of things. This is also the industry of things for the first time formally proposed.

GE Chairman and CEO Jeff Immelt (Jeffrey R. Immelt) said: "an open, global network, will be the people, data and machine connected."

In 2014, General Electric (GE), AT & T, Cisco, IBM and Intel that five giant-class companies in the United States announced the establishment of the Internet Industry Alliance IIC.

2, the Internet industry and Industry 4.0 is the same thing?

Basically it can be understood as different expression of the same ideas.

Industry 4.0 is a German initiative.

The beginning of this century, the global financial crisis broke out several times, economies are subject to a painful blow.

Especially the capital market sought high-tech industry, the biggest bubble, suffered the biggest hit. In contrast, the industrial and manufacturing sectors during the crisis showed a good anti-strike capability.

As a result, countries began to renewed emphasis on industrial manufacturing.

In this context, Germany in April 2013 Hanover Industrial Fair officially launched the Industry 4.0 strategy. Its main purpose is to improve the competitiveness of German industry and consolidate their lead, grab opportunities in the new round of industrial revolution.

As can be seen, the Internet industry and the industry is also proposed to almost 4.0, are intended to be a comprehensive industrial upgrading, to respond to future challenges.

3, the Internet industry is the fourth industrial revolution?

No.

Fourth industrial revolution, based on graphene, genes, virtual reality, artificial intelligence, quantum technology, controlled nuclear fusion, clean energy technology and bio-technology as a breakthrough in the industrial revolution.

While the industrial Internet, the structure and mode upgrade existing industrial system, is the industrial systems and calculation, analysis, induction and connection technology integration, and eventually to the tight junctions raw materials, equipment, workers, production line, suppliers, channels and even users .

Internet industry, will use the fourth branch of the Industrial Revolution-related technologies (such as artificial intelligence).

4, the Internet industry and the Internet industry, what is the relationship?

English called the Internet industry Industrial Internet. Industrial, meaning both the industry, but also the industry mean.

There are some controversial industry understanding of the Internet industry at present.

Jujube monarch personally think that the Internet industry, including consumer Internet and the Internet. Broad industry Internet (that is, we say the mouth), in fact, the Internet industry.

The Internet industry narrow, careful study, only a branch of the Internet industry.

State and Government level, mainly in the Internet industry, it is called the main (even competent authorities call "the Ministry"), but the real point is more interested in a broad sense.

In any case, the Internet industry and the businesses have close ties, not just the industry.

5, the Internet industry is not that "Industrial + Internet"?

wrong.

On the one hand, jujube king just said, the Internet is not only refers to the industrial industry. On the other hand, the Internet industry is not to let industry "Internet" that simple.

Internet industry is digital, information, intelligence transformation of the entire industry.

It first through connection (communication) technology, connecting industrial production of the entire process elements of resources, and then by computing, storage and computing data, mining the data value, optimization of production processes, open up the weak link, in order to achieve efficiency gains, productivity improvement, cost decline in profit growth.

Precisely, the Internet industry is the "industrial revolution" and "ICT (Information and Communication) technology revolution," a combination of product, rather than "industrial + internet."

6, the Internet industry often see the word OT, OT what is that?

Like mentioned earlier, the Internet industry is industrial technology and information and communication technology product of the combination.

Information and communication technology, which is the IT and CT. IT, Information Technology (Information Technology). CT, Communication techonology (Communication Technology).

The OT, that is industrial technology.

Precisely, OT English is Operational Technology, many translated into operational technology.

I do not agree "technical operations" in translation. I prefer to translate it as "technique."

In fact, it refers to those environments and industrial equipment inside the factory floor, including a robotic arm, sensors, instrumentation, control systems, control systems and so on.

Internet industry is IT, CT, OT's full integration and upgrades. It is a network, but also a platform, it is a system to achieve a pan-industrial processes all elements of the connection and integration.

7, industrial edge computing and the Internet have anything to do?

Internet industry environment, from network technology point of view, there are two special needs, it is a high reliability, the other is very low latency (delay or uncertainty).

The evolution of industrial automation technology, which now makes the operating speed and precision industrial equipment work far more than ever before. If the network can not achieve low latency, will not meet the needs of many industrial scene.

To reduce delays, the introduction of the Internet industry edge computing.

The so-called edge computing, the cloud is the cloud away, the pull portion, factory or workshop to sink (from the terminal closer place). Thus, reducing the distance between the end and the power calculation, thereby reducing latency.

Internet industry architectural model

After using edge calculations, can effectively solve the bandwidth problem between the plant data and the cloud. A large amount of data to be handled locally, without having all the cloud.

Edge computing also provides a new ecology.

Internet companies like cloud-based App development, the future, there will be calculated based on the edge of the platform. Public interface open platform to developers, developers for the factory to user needs, develop App, for factory use. This is ecology.

8, 5G must use the Internet industry do?

not really.

5G is the latest upgrade of communication technology. It has a high-bandwidth, low latency, and so massive connection. However, it is not a necessary and sufficient condition 5G Internet industry.

There are hundreds of industry, there are thousands of scenarios.

Some scenes may not have much mobility requirements, and even the use of fiber optic cable on it. And some scenes may not have too much bandwidth and latency requirements, using LTE or NB-IoT it. There scenario, customers may not want data into the operator's network, or take into account the cost factor, want to use Wi-Fi or even LoRa such a private network technology, not necessarily not.

The essence of the Internet industry is not connected, but the calculation. Internet industry operating systems, platforms, data, applications, is the most critical part.

5G is not snake oil, it will be long-term coexistence and numerous communications technology. 5G floor in the industry, will be a long process.

9, the Internet industry, and artificial intelligence have anything to do?

Artificial intelligence is the same as serving the scene.

After digitization industry gradually, a large amount of data, forming a data stream. Data flow not only help data mining analysis, artificial intelligence, but also boost the landing scene.

Here is a simple example, when a high-speed camera for product quality testing, manpower alone to watch the picture, the efficiency is very low. If the introduction of AI, with plenty of picture data to train it, you can replace the manual, to enhance the detection efficiency.

To a higher level, if the introduction of AI factory management process, the harmonization of supply, production, logistics, marketing and other aspects, will greatly reduce inventory, production resources to optimize the ultimate, cost reduction, profit.

In other words, it was turned into the plant unmanned factories, even the director of the future are likely to be AI.

With the evolution of artificial intelligence, the Internet industry that the system will achieve self-aware operating mode, self-learning technology, equipment self-executing, the system self-organization.

This is the highest level of intelligent manufacturing.

10, to promote the speed of the Internet industry will be how fast?

Internet industry is a fast and slow process.

It fast, because if you want to engage in the Internet industry, many industry already has ready-made case, there are many solutions that can directly reference. You can quickly start.

Slow, because the full realization of the Internet industry is an extremely long process.

It is not a commodity, not some kind of hardware or software, you can buy immediately, using the "successful practitioner" will be able to self-proclaimed Internet industry.

It is the transformation of existing enterprises beating. Your entire production process, management system, organizational structure, business model, must change. Moreover, not only is your own to change your supply chain upstream, downstream distributors, but also to follow the change. Otherwise, your digital, cellular phones like iPhone era, it did not help.

Internet industry not only requires a lot of investment, but also need to follow up the soft power of business, your staff quality and ability, but also need to be able to support the transformation of your intentions. If people will not use, or do not accept the corporate culture, that you spend more money, but also bad deal.

11, the Internet industry, which in the end the players have?

Major players in the Internet industry in the following categories:

First of all, the Internet company. Internet companies like Alibaba, Tencent, the Internet industry is a major force behind.

With the consumer Internet experience and strength, these companies can be said that most understand the Internet. Consumer Internet currently played almost all the second half, the Red Sea, so they hope to open the market in various industries, access to new profit growth point.

However, the Internet industry and consumer Internet completely different play, and perhaps make them change their minds.

The second category is the traditional industrial giants.

These giants are a group most people understand the industry. Sany e.g., Haier, Gree. They know the industry very same time, they also engage in information technology and digital for some time, erudite.

However, the peer is the sworn enemy. Technical solutions or an industry giant in the industry has a natural "is exclusive." Internet industry transformation involves the bone marrow, almost a business of his life, he wanted to peers? This is a bit difficult.

The third category is the operator.

Operators as the builders of infrastructure, not willing to become a pipeline, we are actively committed to developing industry solutions, forced open the enterprise market. An important reason for the mobile phone market, fierce competition in mobile communications, as well as the sharp drop in profits, but also spur the B terminal operators to increase investment in the market.

However, operators of so-called B-end market experience, also is selling more green for many years. Sell solutions, applications do fall? The moment does not seem very optimistic. This requires a comprehensive transformation of the mentality and ideas, but also the long road.

The fourth category is the equipment manufacturers.

To put it plainly, the most important is Huawei.

Huawei engage the B-side of the market experience more than Internet companies. Given Huawei's rapid progress in chips, operating systems, databases, as well as the ecological aspects of the Internet makes it an industry to be reckoned with.

Qianye hundred lines, mighty force. Huge industrial internet market is a huge cake. In the fierce competition for the cake, who do not know, we will not force an obscure this rise to become the dark horse.

For SMEs, jujube Jun Do not recommend investment in the Internet industry. You will not only see the short-term return, there may be surgical failure, direct belch fart.

For developers, I suggest that the opportunity to focus on areas of segments. Internet industry, is the core industry, information and communication technology is a black empowerment. Depth study of the industry, rational use of science and technology, to find their first principle more in the future get the chance to achieve the rise.

Well, 11 questions about the Internet industry, have to see to understand it?
