With China’s "Made in China" initiative and smart manufacturing strategies being promoted, the industrial internet has become a driver of industrial economic development and is being applied across an expanding range of scenarios. The industrial internet is increasingly penetrating the real economy, covering many sectors of the national economy and enabling industries such as energy, healthcare, petrochemicals, and metallurgy. It helps integrate upstream and downstream supply chains and has become an important factor in stabilizing economic growth.
With the rollout of 5G networks, the industrial internet faces new development opportunities. Some industrial internet platforms support 5G connectivity, enabling companies to build 5G-enabled industrial systems and connected factories.
Platform features
- High-speed transmission: 5G offers high throughput, supporting larger data volumes and faster transfer rates.
- Low latency: 5G provides low latency, enabling real-time interaction and rapid response to meet industrial requirements for timeliness and accuracy.
- Massive connections: 5G supports large-scale device connections, allowing simultaneous attachment of many devices and terminals for extensive IoT deployments.
- High reliability: 5G offers reliable and stable connectivity with options for prioritizing critical services to ensure production continuity and safety.
Platform functions
Data collection: To accommodate wide-area and high-volume device connections, platforms provide high-concurrency system architectures that can collect data and enable real-time communication for multiple PLCs, instruments and meters, CNC machine tools, industrial robots, and other devices.
IoT device management: A 5G-enabled industrial internet platform can manage and monitor connected devices, enabling remote control, monitoring, and maintenance. Faults can trigger fast alerts to reduce downtime and improve operational management.
Data analysis and decision support: Through a 5G industrial internet platform, collected data can be analyzed and mined to provide real-time statistics and analytical reports, supporting decision-making, process optimization, and production upgrades.
