Today the development of the Internet industry is after some trial and error, from Chinese wisdom made plans to begin 2025, and then once we are keen to German industry made 4.0, recently put less, and Siemens as the representative of German industry 4.0 but now the move from scratch, beyond the GE industry, represented by the Internet are worth back to ponder!
4.0 Industrial development is as follows:
Germany since 2011 in Germany Science - under the auspices of Industrial Economics Research Alliance (Forschungsunion Wirtschaft-Wissenschaft), and began research industry 4.0. The idea grew out of the 2010 "2020 German high-tech strategy," and its focus on the launch 11 "future projects." March 2012, "high-tech strategy for Germany 2020" action plan released 11 "future projects" reduced to 10 (invest 8.4 billion euros), "Industry 4.0" The term first appeared (to invest 200 million euros). Subsequently, the industrial development strategy by the German Science 4.0 - developed jointly with the German Union of Industrial Economics Research National Academy of Science and Engineering (Acatech).
April 2013, the industrial development strategy 4.0 released by the VDMA, BITKOM, ZVEI composition of the Secretariat, the formation of Industry 4.0 platform. April the following year, the White Paper Industry 4.0 platform release (implementation plan). In fact, no matter what it is called, its core content is original aim, and that is CPS!
Industry 4.0 is the evolution of technology from embedded systems to the physical integration of information systems (CPS) development. As a representative of the future of the fourth industrial revolution, industrial 4.0 continuously (networking, data network and Internet services) to achieve the objects Internet, and data services such as seamless direction. Meanwhile, the use of distributed intelligent representatives of the interaction between the virtual world of the manufacturing process and the real world, to play an important role in the construction of smart object network.
Industrial production 4.0 reflects the paradigm shift from centralized to decentralized paradigm, it is because of the traditional production process so that technological progress occurs theory of subversion, all this becomes possible. Future, industrial production machinery is no longer just "processed", instead, how to take the product to convey the correct operation of the machine through communication.
Industrial production 4.0 by the embedded system technology and intelligent production process combined will give industry, the production value chain, business models brought about fundamental changes (such as smart factory), thus creating a road leading to the new technology era. In the digital transformation of the industrial giant Siemens is a German industry honors 4.0.
In 2018 exposed GE digital business will give up the third day, Germany's Siemens has decided to upgrade its digital business proportion. Siemens new change in corporate structure, the digital industrial business has become one of the three operating companies.
August 2018, Siemens announced the adjustment of corporate structure, to cancel the previous Business Group (Division) level, to streamline the company's headquarters, Siemens organization after adjustments include three "carriers": "natural gas and electricity", "intelligent infrastructure" and "digital industrial." The adjustment, digital industrial Siemens become a top priority of the new strategy, it has become a new force business growth. Siemens disclosed before interest, tax and amortization margin range, significantly ahead of the chemical industry figures before the two operating companies.
After Siemens President and CEO Joe Kaiser took office, digital and industrial groups to maintain double-digit annual revenue growth rate, which has become an important reason for this adjustment Siemens coded digital. Siemens is expanding its digital business portfolio and integrated into many future technologies, to promote the digital transformation of discrete and process industries. More and more industrial enterprises, especially SMEs, industry is moving to 4.0, using digital solutions to enhance their competitiveness. Rapidly changing market demand, in all areas of industrial enterprises are demanding products with faster, more flexible and more small quantities produced. With the further integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and edge computing technology, Siemens is paving the way for the future of the industry.
Flex comprehensive layout of Industry 4.0
Currently, Siemens's soft power has been covering design, analysis, manufacturing, data management, robotic automation, inspection, reverse engineering, computer cloud and big data, etc., to explore the full potential of digital development, including manufacturing. Using software and simulation, digital factory greatly improved the speed and efficiency of product development. Data-based services, software and IT solutions is critical for the future of Siemens' comprehensive business development has far-reaching impact. Industries involved in the field of digital products and more dispersed, must rely on mergers and acquisitions, organizational structure, multi-party cooperation to integrate Siemens Industry 4.0 map has been mapped out a clear path operation, it is worth our automation and information technology company reference.
工业4.0能产生的价值（德国电子电气制造商协会的预测,到2020年，工业4.0带动下的全球国内生产总值将达约90万亿美元），美、德两国是制造业大国，在先进制造业方面拥有绝对优势。新工业时代，美国推出“制造业回归”战略（由奥巴马政府于2009年提出），德国推出“工业4.0”战略，可以说，两国都在制造业上发力，以期抢占制造业变革的主导权。
所谓的再工业化，是西方学者基于工业在各产业中的地位不断降低、工业品在国际市场上的竞争力相对下降、 大量工业性投资移师海外而国内投资相对不足的状况提出的一种 “回归” 战略，即重回实体经济，使工业投资在国内集中，避免出现产业结构空洞化。
企业转型升级工业4.0也好，工业互联网也好，要首先想清楚思维的改变！
第一是制造业思维的改变！
当前的工厂是部门制，设计部门、采购部门、生产部门，都是垂直的部门分工管理，这种垂直的部门分工管理的组织架构一直延续到现在。这种组织架构有它的弊端，就是资源没有百分之百的调动起来，生产周期很长，效率很低，各管一摊。随着工业4.0时代到来，未来市场上需要个性化、定制化的产品。未来的企业要通过“互联网+工业”的模式，以用户为中心，根据客户需求制生产。
第二是对传统生产模式的改变！
传统的生产模式早在80年代的时候是OEM的方式，也就是贴牌。比如说大的汽车企业，不可能方向盘、车轱辘、轮胎都自己生产，所以找一些中小企业生产零配件，这样可以化解投资压力，降低管理难度，减少风险。
2000年以信息化系统在制造业领域得到了更多的应用，把更多的环节分包出去，进一步化解了投资压力，管理的压力。工业4.0不是OEM的生产模式，而是开放的价值链，所有的环节都是通过网络整合资源。比如苹果公司，无论是生产iPhone、iPad，没有一个零配件是自己生产的，都是找合作企业，但是获得的利润却是最高的。
工业4.0时代的生产制造模式，结果是投入人力物力最少获得的利润最多。我们传统的制造业要向工业4.0这种开放制造、开放价值链上贴近。
第三是创新模式的改变！
以前的创新是政府主导各种创新，投入很多资本，现在这种模式要改变，但政府主导有局限性，很多技术有不确定性。创新还是以企业为主体，工业4.0明确提出了新的创新模式，政府的共性技术，搭建行业平台。与之前的工业革命相反，这次革命正以指数而非线性的速度发展！它不仅改变着我们要做‘什么’和‘怎么做’，也在改变着我们是谁？
世界经济论坛创始人克劳斯·施瓦布(Klaus Schwab)在其著作《第四次工业革命》中如此写道：工业4.0带动的智能制造风潮已经席卷全球，世界主要国家纷纷加大制造业回流力度，提升制造业在国民经济中的战略地位。很明显，这是一场技术变革的竞速赛，在政策和市场的双重推动下，全球各大厂商纷纷大力发展智能制造技术，加速其落地！第四次工业革命会带来更多智能产品，改变我们的生活，丰富我们的生活。所以智能硬件这个领域也是创新创业的重点。
比如说一个智能手机，不仅仅是手机的概念了，可以在里面装很多的APP应用软件，围绕智能手机有很多人做游戏的开发、大数据的分析、商业智能。以前老百姓买汽车看是不是省油，安全性能是不是强，未来更多考虑是不是能装更多的游戏，是不是能实现无人驾驶等等。
制造业的未来
工业领域正在全球范围内发挥越来越重要的作用，是推动科技创新、经济增长和社会稳定的重要力量。
但与此同时，市场竞争也在变得愈发激烈。客户需要新的、高质量的产品，要求以更快的速度交付根据客户要求而定制的产品。此外，还必须不断提高生产力水平。只有那些能以更少的能源和资源完成产品生产的企业，才能够应对不断增长的成本压力。
而这些困难都是可以克服的。解决方案就在于实现虚拟生产和与现实生产环境的融合，采用创新软件、自动化技术、驱动技术及服务。这些能够缩短产品上市时间、提高生产效率和灵活性，帮助工业企业保持在市场上的竞争优势。通用电气自2011年已投资数十亿美元于Predix平台，寄望它成为各类机器的操作系统，就像智能手机上的安卓系统那样。作为主要操作系统，该平台将安装各类工业“应用”来管理风力涡轮机组和机车编组等设备。通用电气已把Predix设为“开放”平台，不只通用电气自身的机器或应用可以使用。
而西门子更关注在制造行业中研发出垂直的定制软件，其首要重点仍是针对垂直行业定制软件，如医疗保健和制造业，而非打造适合所有行业的横向平台。不过，最近西门子已开始更积极营销自己的数据平台MindSphere。西门子还通过新成立的物联网集成服务业务部门，拓展其物联网平台产品，为客户的数字化转型提供全面支持。预计2025年之前，物联网集成服务市场的年增长率将达到10%到15%。
从基因和概念上，GE和西门子推出的软件系统就有不同。Predix和MindSphere总是会被拿在一起比较。
Predix 是GE以一己之力开发出来的平台。MindSphere是西门子借力合作SAP的 HANA Cloud Platform Could Foundry （HCP CF）为PaaS推出的工业云，SAP HCP提供的应用服务，更适合平台上扩展做各种应用开发。但不论是Predix还是MindSphere，都是基于工业云的操作系统，都需要“铺”在亚马逊、微软这样的公共云上，初始客户也主要是围绕设备产品上下游的客户，用于设备监测运营和维护。
In the course of device operation, more than half of the cost of operating and maintenance costs. Predix and MindSphere applications that can liberate manpower, equipment for real-time remote monitoring and maintenance. This alone, can greatly reduce the cost of equipment manufacturers. Not only is GE and Siemens and other industry giants, the Internet giant and the software giant, their ample supply of horsepower, have joined the tide of the cloud industry. Industrial giant ABB and Schneider also a veteran of the Internet giant, there are Amazon, Microsoft, Google, the software giant has SAP, IBM and Oracle, there are rookie C3 IoT and Uptake and so on.
The difficulty of building a digital world far beyond imagination. 2018 is the first year of the Internet industry, but the outbreak is yet to come.
The future of the Internet industry outbreak may be from one subdivision segments or a scene to detonate it, through horizontal and vertical conductivity, and then reach the irresistible force of development.
Read digital Siemens and GE's development path is worth pondering! Enterprises should focus on the future and specific segments of the scene, the professional services, through the project for the accumulation of knowledge, to build a small platform, and then by small platform down a large platform, eventually expanding to establish a digital world. No matter who learn, in fact, called the Industry 4.0 worth mentioning, or Internet industry or, ultimately find their own way! What in fact is not important, what is more critical!
Things will be the future of the world, let's meet 19-21 November 2019, similar to 2019 (Third) Global Assembly of things - looking thinker!
