Over the past decade, my country's Internet of Things industry has achieved leapfrog development. Southern Daily reporter dialogue with Yuanwanggu President Xu Chaoyang and Huawei Data Communication Product Line Solutions Department Sun Jianping to discuss the development value and historical opportunities of industries related to smart connections in all things.
"The Internet of Things is an important part of the country's strategic emerging industries, and it is also an important means to transform and upgrade traditional industries and promote the transformation of economic development mode." Xu Chaoyang said that promoting the development of the Internet of Things industry can not only further revitalize my country's real economy, but also inject a catalyst into my country's digitalization and intelligence of industries.
Sun Jianping also pointed out that the Internet of Things industry has broad development prospects. As one of the provinces with the most complete upstream and downstream industrial chains of the Internet of Things, Guangdong is ahead of the country in cloud, communications, and smart terminal technologies, and will stand firmly in the era of "intelligent connection of all things".
Build a regional core industry group of IoT
Southern Daily: How do you view the competitiveness of Guangdong's IoT industry across the country and around the world?
Xu Chaoyang: Guangdong is one of the most economically developed provinces in my country, and it is also the largest province in the country in the Internet of Things, and one of the areas with the most concentrated key Internet of Things enterprises in China. Among them, Shenzhen gathers more than 70% of China's IoT industry chain, and the core IoT industry cluster in the Pearl River Delta region centered on Shenzhen, and its international competitiveness cannot be underestimated.
To gain a lasting competitive advantage in the Internet of Things industry, it must have internationally competitive suppliers and related industries in order to give full play to its group advantages. Guangdong's Internet of Things industry is in a strong momentum, thanks to the promotion of the country and Guangdong Province's innovation-driven strategy and related industrial policies, it has attracted a large number of leading IoT companies to settle down, and leading companies drive the agglomeration effect.
On the other hand, thanks to market advantages and technological advantages, huge market demand will inevitably stimulate the rapid increase of the supply side. It can be seen from the fact that Guangdong Internet of Things technology patent applications ranks among the top in the country in the country, driving the market, Guangdong's Internet of Things companies use their own advanced technologies to strive to seize the commanding heights of the core industry of the Internet of Things.
Southern Daily: In the next 5 to 10 years, what changes will the Internet of Things bring to our lives and industries?
Xu Chaoyang: Looking to the future, the application scenarios of the Internet of Things will become increasingly diversified, penetrate all aspects of production and life, and further promote the "Internet of Everything". In the era of the Internet of Things, all items, tools and equipment in our work and life can be connected to the network through terminal devices, and items can be perceived and communicated with each other.
The application of the Internet of Things will greatly improve production and living efficiency. As for manufacturing, the Internet of Things can realize the interconnection of industrial equipment, allowing all industrial equipment to realize real-time data acquisition, state perception and interaction through industrial networks, and improve production and manufacturing efficiency. For the retail industry, IoT technology can provide offline stores with reliable, stable and engaging digital experience services. In addition, the Internet of Things will also bring about a transformation in business models from providing products to providing services.
promotes traditional solution providers to transform into high-end technology enterprises
Southern Daily: What is the significance of developing IoT technology for industrial transformation and the development of the real economy?
Sun Jianping: For digital transformation of in various industries, the Internet of Things is the foundation and the only way toward intelligence. The development of IoT technology, on the one hand, can promote the construction of digital infrastructure for enterprises, support enterprises to reconstruct business models or service models, achieve cost reduction and efficiency improvement, and flexibly respond to uncertain external environments, thereby ensuring the stable and sustainable development of the real economy; on the other hand, can promote a group of manufacturers with leading IoT technology to transform from traditional solution providers to high-end technology enterprises, and on the basis of achieving commercial success, it can improve competitiveness on a global scale and become the core force in the construction of the international IoT market.
Southern Daily: In the era of the Internet of Everything, how can sensor chips and other fields counterattack under the "bottleneck" situation?
Sun Jianping: sensors and communications and computers are known as the three pillars of modern information technology.In the field of the Internet of Things, due to its fragmentation and single-terminal cost constraints, enterprises need to continue to invest high in order to create competitive sensors or terminal chips. Previously, due to historical reasons, my country has relied heavily on imports in terminal chips and operating systems. However, with the changes in the political and economic environment in recent years, the country has fully realized the importance of independence and control; more and more companies are embarking on the road of self-developing Internet of Things terminal chips and operating systems. However, the road to independent and control is not easy to go, and the process requires the continuous policy pull of the country and the aggregation of industrial ecology.
