In the latest more than 200 years, mankind has experienced steam engine revolution, in which train and railway technologies were invented; internal-combustion engine revolution, in which automobile, road, ship and shipping technologies were invented; radio and electronic technology revolution, in which telegram, telephone, television and radar technologies were invented, and furthermore, the wide use of radio and electronic technology leads to the vacuum electron tube and electronic components technologies. World War II and the space competition in Cold War promotes the military technology revolution and space technology revolution, which then promote the semiconductor and integrated circuit industry revolution. The development of semiconductor and integrated circuit technologies leads to the large computer, personal computer and personal communication technology revolution, which naturally bring about the Internet revolution and mobile Internet revolution. At present, the Internet revolution and mobile Internet revolution are causing social revolutions in global consumption mode (including personal consumption and public consumption) and production mode (including manufacturing and non-manufacturing ones).
Various e-commerce platforms are the basis for the change of personal consumption mode, various public service platforms are the basis for the change of public consumption mode, various industrial Internet platforms are the basis for the change of manufacturing production mode, and the platform for change of non-manufacturing production mode is the basis for the change of non-manufacturing production mode (For example, creation of various spiritual civilization products. The non-manufacturing production mode and platform are being produced). The maturation and wide use of these four kinds of platform technologies show that the industrial civilization era has gradually faded out of history, and the information civilization era has gradually kicked off.
After the foundation of the PRC, we have got on the last bus of industrial revolution, especially the express of Internet revolution bravely, and sit in the first class of mobile Internet revolution through its own effort. Each technological revolution is based on the foregoing technological revolutions, and the current competitive advantages of the industrialized countries are based on the former technological revolutions.
If the developing countries always go after the developed countries, they will always lag behind, and will not be able to take the initiative of development in their own hands. Therefore, the course of pursuing a modern power of China is doomed to be unusual. We must make scientific judgments based on our national conditions and the trend of the times, and develop a different development path, so that we can come up with the pace of the developed countries on the path of development.
In the field of industrial Internet, there are three optional paths: 1. gradually extending to intelligent production lines, intelligent workshops and intelligent factories based on the sophisticated CSP and making efforts to achieve the goal of Industry 4.0 by creating intelligent manufacturing platforms (hereinafter referred to as the German Model). Through the development in this model, a country that “gradually rises from bottom to top” will finally realize compatibility of intelligent manufacturing, collaborative manufacturing and cloud manufacturing.
2. With the collaborative enterprises having realized intelligent manufacturing basically, on the basis of the offline work division and layout of global supporting and global collaborative manufacturing, building a global platform for collaborative manufacturing and collaborative after-sales services, and keeping on maintaining the leading position in the vertical work division system of the global manufacturing industry (hereinafter referred to as the American Model). Through “grasping the middle to drive the two ends”, this model finally realizes compatibility of intelligent manufacturing, collaborative manufacturing and cloud manufacturing forms.
3. Under the precondition that most enterprises do not have the intelligent manufacturing capabilities and have not completed the information transformation of their operation processes, and are impossible to complete the intelligent transformation and enterprise process information transformation in a short time, if China’s industrial Internet copies the German or American model, it will surely be off the point.
Therefore, CASICloud of CASIC has established a path of development with Chinese characteristics since its establishment: establishing the cloud platform in the industry field, starting with creating the ecosystem for cloud manufacturing industry clusters, focusing on resource allocation of main market players around the country and optimization of business processes, gradually progressing from perspectives of “saving money, getting money and making money”, following the pace of gradual transformation of Chinese industrial enterprises and the path of “gradually deepening from top to bottom”, realizing the transformation from cloud manufacturing to collaborative manufacturing, and from collaborative manufacturing to intelligent manufacturing, as well as reaching the same goal as that of the German Model or the American Model by different means.
As the first batch of industrial Internet platforms in the world, CASICloud has always adhered to this development concept for nearly three years since its launch and has achieved satisfactory results, which preliminarily verified that the development path of “gradually deepening from top to bottom” for the industrial Internet with Chinese characteristics is scientific and rational.
