The Industrial Internet is an important methodology and model for the digital transformation of the industry. Through the comprehensive connection of "people, machines, things, and systems", a new manufacturing and service system covering the entire industry chain and the entire value chain is built to provide industry and even industrial digitalization. , networking, and intelligent development provide a way to realize it. So what are the specific applications of the Industrial Internet?
According to the statistical analysis of more than a thousand cases at home and abroad, the Institute of Information and Communications Technology divides the application of the industrial Internet into 6 major categories and 26 sub-categories of applications:
(1) Product process research and development : user interaction, product design and simulation, product trial production and verification, process and auxiliary manufacturing.
(2) Production process control : production scheduling and scheduling, material management, equipment management, quality management, energy consumption and emission management, safety production management
(3) Business management mode : procurement management, inventory management, logistics distribution and transportation management, financial and human management, marketing and customer management, operation management decision-making
(4) Operation and maintenance services : equipment asset operation and maintenance, product after-sales service
(5) Multi-link collaborative optimization : production control integration, supply chain integration, product life cycle management
(6) New models and new formats : Collaborative design and crowdsourcing and innovation, manufacturing resource sharing and configuration, C2M and large-scale customization, financial logistics and other cross-field integration, new platform-based transactions
According to the comparative analysis of domestic and foreign applications, the Institute of Information and Communications Technology puts forward the following points of view:
From the point of view of the same point : production control, operation management, operation and maintenance and service are the hot spots pursued by both at home and abroad, but among them: foreign countries carry out big data modeling in the fields of production control and operation management based on a relatively high digital foundation In-depth optimization of advanced technology, our country takes into account digital supplementary courses; in equipment operation and maintenance services, foreign high-value equipment + complex analysis applications are significantly ahead of our country.
From a different point of view : foreign countries are ahead of China in the application of data-driven product process research and development; domestically, they are more active in model innovations such as shared manufacturing, personalized customization, and industry-finance innovation.

It can be seen that 5G+ industrial Internet application scenarios cover all 6 categories, and the application scenarios are the most in the production process control, which is also in line with the application hotspots of the industrial Internet itself.
In terms of industries, the ten key industries are as follows: electronic equipment manufacturing, equipment manufacturing, iron and steel industry, mining industry, electric power industry, petrochemical industry, building materials industry, port industry, textile industry, and home appliance industry. These ten industries are exactly the same as the key construction industries given in the "5G Fully Connected Factory Construction Guide".
It can be seen that after several years of exploration and practice, the key industries for the development of 5G+ industrial Internet have gradually focused on seven industrial manufacturing industries and three pan-industrial scenarios of ports, electric power, and mines.
From the perspective of application, 5G + industrial Internet integration innovation has the following characteristics:
(1) At the technical level, 5G is closely integrated with artificial intelligence and AR/VR, and the applications derived from the latter two technologies require the large-bandwidth connection capabilities and mobile deployment features provided by 5G.
(2) 5G is a relatively good technology among all current wireless technologies that supports large connections, high bandwidth and mobility at the same time, and can be better applied in industrial production control links.
(3) Remote control scenarios require highly reliable communication services, and 5G is a better choice in current wireless technologies.
Combining the current situation of 5G + industrial Internet applications and the maturity of 5G technology itself, we believe that the more valuable scenarios mainly include the following aspects:
(1) 5G+ machine vision quality inspection : Quality inspection using machine vision is the largest application field in the field of artificial intelligence, so there is a large demand, and 5G has very good advantages in the transformation of old production lines or the flexible deployment of new production lines.
(2) 5G+ large-scale industrial data collection : through the collection of equipment operation data, combined with data such as product capacity and quality, it can have a good effect on production process optimization, quality control, production scheduling, etc., and 5G supports large Bandwidth transmission and flexible deployment can meet the deployment requirements of most scenarios.
(3) 5G+AGV production line/factory logistics : A highly automated factory requires an intelligent logistics system. The delivery of materials, semi-finished products, and finished products to workstations and warehouses can be greatly improved through AGV, AMR, forklifts and other unmanned delivery vehicles. Production efficiency, and the mobile scene is the advantage area of 5G.
(4) 5G+AR assistance : Assembly, maintenance, production safety monitoring and other links can use AR assistance to improve efficiency and reduce the occurrence of dangerous accidents. The combination of 5G and AR can give full play to the mobility and high bandwidth characteristics of 5G.
Of course, the innovative application of 5G + industrial Internet is still in the process of rapid development. With the 5G upgrade of equipment and the improvement of 5G performance, more value scenarios will emerge to help realize the digital transformation of the industry.
