Why do we need industry Internet platform?
So long as Java or C or HTML5 App can be developed on the phone, but with the mobile phone industry App App not the same need to deal with the devices, you need to understand the device, read the device.
Traditional industrial application software development is often difficult, high development requirements, developers need to have deep manufacturing experience, well versed in the mechanism of industry and industrial model, and not flexible to meet the needs of individual users.
Internet platform by industry, on the one hand the traditional architecture of the software industry broken down into separate functional modules, deconstructed industrial micro services; on the other hand industry knowledge to form micro-services industry. Industrial PaaS is essentially became a rich pool of various types of industrial micro-service component functions and services, these services become opaque micro-knowledge "building blocks", service-oriented applications open API, to support developers without expertise in accordance with the actual needs in the form of "building blocks" of the call and efficiently develop industry-specific, industry-specific scenarios App.
In addition, the Industrial Internet platform supports multiple development tools and programming languages, graphical drag and drop development, API advanced development. These are not write code engineers to quickly develop high-end industrial software human-computer interaction, the complex offers the possibility to provide efficient algorithm with a professional model theory is the lack of industry and IT industry human data assets; closed so that the original development of specialized business transformation as a universal social sharing, knowledge is spread, ability to copy and promotion, which greatly reduce development effort and cost of industrial App, improve development efficiency, personalized development and social development of crowdsourcing basis.
Industrial software development and deployment of future Internet platform will focus on industrial architecture, presented in the form of industrial App does not require every developer has the ability to control the huge architecture, but rely on support of the underlying platform architecture, a combination of a large number of small industrial App together, we can organize one huge scene. This is like an elephant can beat Army ants, which can be disruptive to resolve because traditional industrial software architecture to enterprises large and the threshold of implementation and deployment difficult.
Therefore, in the traditional software industry dominated by foreign industrial giants situation, industrial App provides a "change lanes to overtake," the path for our country. App helps industrial software industry breakthroughs in core technologies, high-end industrial software padded short board to expedite the settlement strangle hold software problems existing in China's industrial development.
The development potential of China's industrial App
First of all, China's industrial App market is huge.
China, as the world has only the United Nations Industrial Classification of all industry categories of countries, with 39 industrial categories, a number of 191 classes, 525 subclasses, industrial application scenarios. At the same time, the whole process involves a number of aspects of industrial R & D, manufacturing, assembly and testing, sales operation and maintenance, and management, there is a manufacturing production process optimization, enterprise management and decision optimization, optimal allocation of resources and collaborative product lifecycle management and optimization services, and other business needs. In addition, the network collaborative manufacturing, customization, service-oriented manufacturing and other manufacturing industries continue to develop the new model, these are industrial App development provides a huge potential market space.
Second, China has a basis for the development of industrial App.
In recent years, China's mobile App explosive development, the emergence of the world's leading consumer end Alipay, micro-channel, drops and other App, government livelihood areas App has more than 2000, and gradually explore a successful route a support App development, which is our country App to explore the development of industrial technology model, business model provides a strong support. Mobile App development process, but also to cultivate gathering a large number of developers, developer community continues to mature, it laid a valuable intellectual resource base for the development of China's industrial App. Meanwhile, China's digital manufacturing, information technology, intelligence and continuously improve, accumulated a large amount of data resources, knowledge resources, software and other related industries overall strength continued to improve, frontier big data and artificial intelligence strong momentum of development, as China's industrial App It laid the basis for the development of data and technology infrastructure. In addition, our Internet platform construction industry progresses, carrying basic industries App continues to consolidate.
App of the status of the domestic industry
App development of China's industry is still in its infancy. Basic industry software supply capacity is still low, although some companies have made some achievements in the development of software platforms in the industry, but because of less investment, small-scale, limited to improve the level of China's industrial development App role. Industry leading foreign Internet platform is accelerating the construction and promotion of the development of China's industrial App competitive pressures.
At present, our supply capacity is still insufficient for industrial App, the system needs to be improved to promote the ecological system to be optimized, quality and security system needs to be strengthened, there is not much quantity, quality, and construction is lagging behind the open source community, the business model is unclear, technology ability immature and so on, cultivating one million industrial App long way to go.
The main current problems:
A small number of industrial App. According to public data aerospace cloud network, Haier, interconnected roots, East Fang Guoxin, UFIDA, as cable, Tsinghua Unisplendour and other leading Internet platform for industrial enterprises, according to incomplete statistics, the number of China's industrial App not more than 10,000, and this 10000 App industry, many traditional software or cloud technology from Windows-based systems development, can only be regarded as "immigrants" industrial internet platform, really rely on industry internet platform developed industrial App numbered.
Second, the industry is not high quality App . App industry there is a huge imbalance in different industries, different products, different life-cycle stages. At present mainly confined to the aerospace and other high-end equipment manufacturing, due to lack of investment, mainly in some localized areas of professional development and application failed large-scale promotion. Condition monitoring, fault diagnosis categories of industrial App, less predicted early warning class especially smart decision-making class industrial App. Based on a single data source to develop industrial App more business systems and devices based on multi-source heterogeneous data less developed industrial App.
Third, the construction is lagging behind the open source community . The modern era, has become the trend of open source software, open source community has played an irreplaceable role in promoting the development of software. Control of the open source ecosystem, will become the focus of global industrial App industry. GE, Siemens, PTC and other leading industrial enterprises have been established Internet platform open source community, the platform has tens of thousands of developers. In China, the construction industry is still in the open source community App blank developers the ability to scale and significant gap compared with foreign countries, seriously hampered the development of industrial App, App industrial development capabilities need improvement.
Fourth, the technical ability is not yet mature. Application development involving a wide range of industrial App. First of all, the App industrial development involves IT, OT and CT and other fields. Specifically, IT software and Internet platforms for industrial App computing power; IT hardware and industrial service providers and application service management device is connected via Industrial App; providing industrial technology, knowledge and experience in the field of OT; CT provides communication capabilities. Secondly, industrial App developers need to work with industry platforms, operating systems and so on. Industrial App via native platform or system to achieve industrial site data aggregation, and get more opportunities to build applications and solutions. At present, China lacks a unified industry App development and testing of methods, standards and norms, the lack of mature industrial App development can promote a wide range of engineering path. Technology and industry support lack of capacity, quality and safety of industrial App technical capacity needs to be strengthened, for testing and evaluation App availability, reliability, security, and other industries, the analysis of the disposal service capability is weak.
Fifth, China's current industrial App development is limited to the field of micro-services industry professional and technical function modules enabling insufficient. Micro-service function module package in the industry Internet platform in the industry principle of industrial technology, knowledge, experience, models, etc., for industrial App developers called industrial App has industry-specific, a specific scene on monitoring, operation optimization and predictive maintenance specific applications and other core service capabilities. But now, limited industrial services professional micro module enabling insufficient, industrial App development is still in its initial state. On the one hand, a high degree of industrial specialization, Know-How big difference, industry knowledge, experience, and application of the mechanism of precipitation difficult, but weak manufacturing process of the foundation of our software, resulting in lack of mechanistic models of China's manufacturing industry is more serious, without any mechanism industrial internet platform model accounting for close to 30 percent, making the deployment of its industrial App on the lack of native support mechanism model is the main short board professional development of industrial App. On the other hand, for most major platforms in promoting traditional service and cloud migration process, providing customers with solutions it is still the traditional core business, lack of expertise and knowledge of precipitation in cross-industry cross-cutting aspects of the industry in cross-App there are some constraints to expand cross-cutting role.
Sixth, China's current industrial App development is limited to the edge of weak layers mining and computing power, data acquisition and edge computing capacity needs to be improved. Data acquisition and edge calculating perceptual end industrial App by constructing a precise, real-time, efficient data collection system, data acquisition, protocol conversion and edge computing, industrial App data collection, cleaning, processing, analysis, further optimization form the basis for decision-making. Currently, the weak edge layer data acquisition and calculation capabilities, limitations App industrial large capacity and data analysis mechanism model formed by deep learning industry. The statistics, more than 50% of the platform data collection points rarely (less than 1000) or numerous positions, sensor products, industrial equipment and inadequate deployment, so that industrial data acquisition difficult. 36% of the common industrial protocol does not use Internet platform OPC UA, heterogeneous data interoperability still more difficult. 62% no edge platform computing node or edge node insufficient computing capacity, lack of capacity in the data preprocessing device layer.
On the whole, industrial App development opportunities and challenges.

App development of industrial ecology
App industrial development involving manufacturers, platform operators, third-party developers, by building a developer community, App development of eco-industrial form.
(1) manufacturing companies, high level of information developed industrial manufacturing enterprises App, App as the original drive industrial development ecology, with their own strong demonstration effect and the ability to gather ecological resources of leading enterprises to attract users and data resources, improve the supply capacity of the industrial App.
(2) platform vendors , industry Internet platform provider, based on its own platform industrial App. While industrial firms open Internet platform components share common algorithmic tools, development tools, extension development partners laps, third-party developers to guide the development of new industrial App for key industries, promote and reward outstanding third-party developers to develop platform-based industrial App.
(3) third-party developers, third-party developers, including professional software development companies also includes professional engineers, industry experts, students, maker culture such as massive individual developers. Third-party developers will be the main force in the development of industrial App. Thereby establishing open source developer community, the formation of innovation ecosystem. Follow the example of the process of building the open source software community, create a good atmosphere for the exchange of technology sharing and community, to create a complete industrial App and micro-services development environment and technology sharing community, attract and encourage third-party developers for application development and exchange of technical experience sharing, promoting community improvement training, certification, evaluation system, and actively cultivate industrial App developer team.
App in the early development of industry, application development platform operators tend to be complete on their own, with the increase in the number of enterprises, to expand the application requirements, the ability to service its own platform difficult to meet the diverse needs of application development will be open to third-party developers of industrial App the inevitable way of ecological development. Especially in the field segments, application-specific scenarios, application development requires a lot of talent in different industries and sectors, building a developer community has become an indispensable part of. Industrial App developers need to build more open ecosystem of participation of around multi-industry, multi-field, multi-scene application requirements, the developer through a call to the micro-service combination, packaging and secondary development, industrial technology, process knowledge and a manufacturing method of curing and software development industry formed App. By using and use, between demand and demand and promote two-way iterative, gradually open sharing of industrial ecology. Based on this ecological system, manufacturing system will be a revolutionary change take place, industrial enterprises are no longer involved throughout the application development, but to focus on their areas of expertise, third-party developers and information technology provider focused on industrial companies to develop industrial App, realize the value by creating a platform for cooperation mechanism.

Application of eco-industrial App
The mass popularity of smart phones and performance, comprehensive coverage of 3G / 4G / Wi-Fi network infrastructure, successive cuts in mobile phone traffic charges, the two major smart phone operating system wins, application stores flourishing, these factors give mobile Internet App developers to bring great dividends. Among them, about the application of ecological played particularly important.
App industrial product is formed after the technical knowledge of the software industry, only to play to maximize the value of their existence through market trading skills. App transaction management industry should establish industrial App market supply and demand matching, intellectual property management, marketing management, application evaluation mechanism. App industrial trading model is the core of circulation.
App current global industry business model is still in the process of exploration.
First, the core resources of the construction industry is moving forward App. At this stage, the production process management, health monitoring, industrial data collection analysis and other services expanded applications in some areas, and production optimization to meet higher demand for industrial users, decision support and other services is not mature.
Secondly, the distribution channels App industry is relatively simple. The main issue is to bind specific channels and system platforms, for example, Predix App application of plant and Mindsphere application stores.
Again, industrial App profit model diversity. User charges, there are charges by the software, according to traffic charges, according to the service charges and other fees; pay respect to the distribution channels, different from the App Store consumption across the board split basis, general industrial App Store pricing from a business perspective. For example, Predix based on the number of assets under management, number of links, traffic data, occupancy factor platforms, software and other resources to determine its pricing model.
China's current industrial App Applied Ecology has not been established.
Good industrial App not only to enhance the industrial application of ecological knowledge production, dissemination, efficiency, gather a large number of developers, spawned massive open App, but also can promote the formation of each other App applications and industrial users, two-way closed-loop iteration benign, but China's industrial environment is still in its infancy App.
First, industrial App connotation ill-defined cause cognitive errors , understanding different companies from different angles, even the same company at different times App of understanding of the industry there are differences in the foreseeable future, we will not agree with the definition of industrial App cause some obstacles to development.
Second, the lack of incentives for the developer community. Most industrial enterprises Internet platform developer community members mainly from within the enterprise, less external developers, while each platform have expressed intends to charge third-party developers, and share service revenue, which is inevitable when the initial developer community to cultivate Banded suspicion, lack of incentives for the developer community.
Third, the business model is not yet clear. Most platforms in the investment period, not yet reached the payback period, and no form of standardized trading patterns, there are high transaction costs, in terms of trading platform to explore standardization, security, and other users of the credit system has not yet commenced or has just started.
