CNNC Wuhan x Tapdata: How old state-owned enterprises in the energy sector can unleash the power of data and promote refined management

Data islands have always been a long-standing problem. I was looking for related products and solutions before, but they were either too heavy or difficult to implement, until I saw Tapdata by chance
. This is a small and beautiful product that focuses on the field of real-time data development. Its ability to synchronize heterogeneous data in real time allows us to focus more on business-level development without having to care about data-level issues.
—— Yi Jihu, Architect of Wuhan System Technology Department, CNNC

In recent years, a new round of technological revolution characterized by informatization and intelligence is booming. The global economy is in an unprecedented period of transformation. Digital technologies continue to emerge, and the digital economy has become the core driving force of economic growth.

The era calls for the digital upgrade of traditional enterprises.

As the backbone of national economic development, state-owned enterprises need to give full play to the leading role of the state-owned economy, actively grasp and lead the new generation of information technology reform trends, and lead and drive my country's economy to occupy the commanding heights of international competition in this round of transformation and reform. The State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council officially issued the "Notice on Accelerating the Digital Transformation of State-owned Enterprises" in 2020, actively guiding state-owned enterprises to play their exemplary and leading role on the road to digital transformation.

On the road to fully realize the digital transformation of central enterprises and state-owned enterprises, there is such a recognized boulder in the way-data islands. In the process of accelerating transformation and optimization with many relevant enterprise users, Tapdata has also been working hard to provide new ideas for enterprises to break the situation with low cost, and fulfill the mission of "terminator" of data islands.

If you want to know what kind of problems Tapdata solves and how it can be used, you might as well learn how CNNC Wuhan put it into practice.

1. CNNC Wuhan, a demonstration of technological reform

"Stuck neck" data islands, data chimneys that are difficult to remove

CNNC Wuhan, a demonstration enterprise of scientific and technological reform, was jointly invested and established by the Institute of Nuclear Power Operation, Qinshan Nuclear Power Company, Wuhan Yuanyi Technology Investment Co., Ltd., and Shanghai Nuclear Engineering Research and Design Institute. Advantages in assets, market, and management and operation, "live on this, be good at it, and be committed to ensuring the safe, reliable, and economical operation of nuclear facilities" is currently the largest and most powerful nuclear power operation technical service professional in China chemical company.

While providing informatization services to different state-owned enterprises and central enterprises, CNNC Wuhan also discovered a common problem: isolated data islands. Due to the diversity of the system - different external procurement and internal structures, organizational differentiation, and various business scenarios... resulting in frequent obstacles when connecting to business data, it often takes a lot of human resources to do non-business side development work. During development, it is necessary to coordinate with people from different organizational departments, apply for corresponding data permissions, and spend time and cost to understand the business meaning of the data dictionary.

However, common ETL tools are not reusable. Every time there is a new requirement or the requirement is changed, the synchronization process needs to be rerun. A large number of ETL development can only "fix the symptoms but not the root cause", and there is no way to break the data from the root. barrier. In addition, CNNC Wuhan is still using Java code to realize data query between different data centers, and the workload is also very heavy, which will still bring resource investment that deviates from the core task.

As a result, the project landing cycle is inevitably prolonged, so that it cannot focus on business development. CNNC Wuhan urgently needs to liberate the creativity that has been "kidnapped" by the data layer, and bring the development focus back to the business side. Specialize in specialization, each has its own strengths, and jointly contribute to the high-quality development of the nuclear industry.

2. Tapdata: Small and beautiful real-time data exchange platform

Because of focus, so more professional

Facing the contradiction between the increasing demand for data connection and the constraints of the traditional architecture, Tapdata provides a new idea: a full-link real-time data service platform of "real-time synchronization + real-time processing + real-time publishing", while retaining the original system , build a highly consistent data mirror, and adopt master data management technology to form a complete, accurate, credible and serviceable master data service system.

In order to quickly meet the needs of CNNC Wuhan to shorten the project cycle and optimize resource allocation, Tapdata gave full play to the platform's low-code visual configuration operation and real-time synchronization of heterogeneous data and other functional features, quickly opened up CNNC Wuhan's data centers, and achieved local and cloud data connectivity ——Realize rapid development and quick query, greatly optimize the development of human resources, and successfully use the pioneering "small and beautiful" to break through the "big and difficult" of the Shenyang style.

At the same time, taking into account CNNC Wuhan's central enterprise attributes, Tapdata also has the advantages of "purely domestic self-research", has the advantage of independent intellectual property rights, and is more friendly to domestic databases. From the perspective of long-term international competition, the technology is more controllable.

1. Synchronize full instance data from pre-production instances to public data center instances
2. The public data center instance synchronizes the modified public data to different business data center instances through specific logic and rules, and records the number of synchronized data and whether it is successful (with logs)
3. The R&D domain of the public data center forms a wide table through data synchronization and post-processing, and synchronizes the global query data to the R&D domain ES of the public data center!

Why choose Tapdata?

Faced with the refined management needs of state-owned enterprises and the localization process on the road to technological breakthroughs, Tapdata has demonstrated the following advantages:
