More than 1,100 projects! These fields are being quietly changed by 5G

The number of terminal connections exceeds 180 million, the total number of 5G base stations applied to the industrial Internet exceeds 32,000, and there are more than 1,100 "5G+Industrial Internet" construction projects - these are the "big data" of 5G in industrial applications.

Since the beginning of this year, new infrastructure has been accelerated, and the scope of 5G applications has been greatly extended. Raw materials, equipment manufacturing, construction...these fields are being quietly changed by technology.

With one-click operation, factory equipment can run at full capacity even if they are thousands of miles apart; with intelligent connection, materials can be identified by clicking on the screen... Recently, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology released typical application scenarios of "5G+Industrial Internet", covering smart factories, smart power, smart ports and other fields.

The Industrial Internet is considered to be a key force in digital transformation by connecting a large number of devices to the cloud and achieving intelligent collaboration in all links. The ultra-large bandwidth and ultra-low latency of the 5G network ensure millisecond-level transmission of massive amounts of data, making the role of the Industrial Internet even more evident.

The injection of technology has improved efficiency and stimulated innovation, and changes are happening all the time.

In the field of e-commerce, 5G networks have accelerated transmission speeds, making live streaming more widely used in commercial retail, industrial production and other fields. According to Tianyancha Professional Edition data, there are currently more than 39,000 live streaming-related companies in my country, and more than 14,000 live streaming equipment-related companies.

In the field of smart cities, the State Grid Quzhou Power Supply Company has used online platforms to change management models, and has realized online joint review of infrastructure project approvals, shortening the processing time by 15 working days compared to offline processes; through cloud-network integration, online office and remote conferencing have been rapidly promoted...

"In the past two years, the number of files stored on our cloud has grown from 9.3 billion to 82 billion. In 2020, users created an average of 100 million files on our cloud every day." Zhang Qingyuan, CEO of Kingsoft Office, said that this not only means that more users have accepted the cloud office model, but also confirms the many possibilities created by intelligent technology on the industrial side.

At present, "5G+Industrial Internet" has taken the lead in development in industries such as aviation, machinery, and steel, and six typical application scenarios have emerged, including data collection and perception, high-definition video, machine vision, precise remote control, on-site assistance, and digital twins.

The China Academy of Information and Communications Technology recently released the "5G Industry Development White Paper (2020)", predicting that by 2030, 5G will focus on driving growth in manufacturing, transportation, finance, education, and medical care.

Industry experts believe that "5G + Industrial Internet" is currently promoting intelligent collaboration in the digital and networked stages. In the future, it is necessary to give full play to the characteristics of 5G and deeply promote fundamental changes in the manufacturing industry.

Xiao Yaqing, Minister of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said that in the next step, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology should formulate an action plan for the innovative development of the Industrial Internet and clarify the key tasks and key projects in the new stage. While consolidating the development foundation of "5G + Industrial Internet", it will promote industrial enterprises to use new technologies to upgrade and transform production networks, encourage leading enterprises in all walks of life to transform the Industrial Internet intranet, accelerate the migration of key industrial equipment and enterprises to the cloud, and speed up the exploration and excavation of application scenarios in more fields.
