1. Industrial Internet Architecture
Vertically, the Industrial Internet includes three systems: the network system is the foundation and is used for interconnection; the security system is the guarantee and is used for overall protection; the platform system is the core and is used to convert data into valuable information . The horizontal split of the platform system has four levels, namely the edge layer, IaaS layer, industrial PaaS layer (platform layer) and industrial SaaS layer (application layer) . The industrial Internet is the nerve center of the future industry, and technological progress in many aspects promotes its gradual application [1].
2. Characteristics of Industrial Internet Platform
The essence of the industrial Internet platform is to superimpose emerging technologies such as the Internet of Things, big data, and artificial intelligence on the basis of the traditional cloud platform, to build a more accurate, real-time, and efficient data collection system, and to build an application that includes storage, integration, access analysis, and management functions . The energy platform realizes the modeling and reuse of industrial technology, experience and knowledge, and provides various innovative applications for manufacturing enterprises in the form of industrial APPs , and finally forms a manufacturing industry with resource enrichment, multi-party participation, win-win cooperation, and coordinated evolution. Ecology [2]. Its main features include:
3. Companies participating in the construction of the Industrial Internet

Ecological platform for mass customization, open multilateral interaction, and value-added sharing |
Solve industry pain points: 1. Difficult to access and weak collection capability. Signal and communication protocol, 80% of the equipment is not connected to the Internet, the level of digitalization is low, 20% of the equipment is connected to the Internet, but the communication protocol is not uniform, and the management is chaotic; 2. Analysis is difficult and data is not easy to use. Incomplete data sources, incomplete data, and insufficient correlation between data; inaccurate data, many manual records, and low data quality; 3. Interoperability is difficult, and data islands. After the device is connected to the cloud, it is difficult to connect with other platforms for the data of the same device or scene, and it is impossible to provide unified external services. 4. Difficult to upgrade, high-quality service. Industry software is backward, offline experience has not been transferred to online models, and industry categories are complex, and it is still necessary to establish a complete industry model library |
