In the first half of this year, Wuxi's Internet of Things industry scale was 183.8 billion yuan, an increase of 13.4% over the same period in 2021. The project attraction of leading enterprises has achieved fruitful results. A number of key projects such as Nanshan Vehicle Networking Town, China Electric Hikvision Wuxi Internet of Things Industry Base, Advanced Perception R&D Center have accelerated construction, and have reached cooperation with leading enterprises such as China Software International , Geely , Changan , BAIC, etc. in the fields of Beidou , Open Source Hongmeng, and Internet of Vehicles. A number of high-quality projects have been successfully implemented. Enterprises above the integrated circuit industry achieved operating income of 90.6 billion yuan, an increase of 8.9% over the same period last year, ranking first in Jiangsu Province in the industrial scale. Among all sub-sectors, the wafer manufacturing industry performed particularly well in the first half of the year, with the output value of increasing by more than 30% year-on-year, and the output value of companies such as Huahong Semiconductor and Haichen Semiconductor doubled. 18 integrated circuit industry projects such as Quanxun RF Smart Factory, with a total investment of 20.3 billion yuan, have been signed and implemented.
In the future, Wuxi will give full play to the spillover effect and doubling effect of the digital economy in terms of modern industrial goals, vigorously develop three digital landmark industries such as the Internet of Things, integrated circuits, software and information services, cultivate and strengthen five digital emerging industries such as the Internet of Vehicles (intelligent connected vehicles), artificial intelligence , big data cloud computing, information security and blockchain, and robots. It will layout digital future industries such as the metaverse, compound semiconductors, quantum technology, etc. in advance, cultivate leading enterprises and leading enterprises in the digital industry, and build a "3+5+X" digital industry system, and strive to achieve the goal of adding value of the core industry in the city to 250 billion yuan by 2024, accounting for more than 14% of GDP.
Looking at digital transformation in ten years, building a strong manufacturing city
From the perspective of the manufacturing market, Wuxi has nearly 80,000 industrial enterprises and more than 7,700 industrial enterprises above the designated size. Relying on its strong industrial foundation, Wuxi has steadily promoted the intelligent transformation and digital transformation of manufacturing enterprises in the city.
In 2021, Wuxi City created 942 intelligent manufacturing benchmarks, including 1 national-level intelligent manufacturing benchmark enterprise, with a total of 3, ranking first in the country. At the same time, one new "lighthouse factory" was added, with a total of two, ranking second in the country; the new provincial smart factory project ranked first in Jiangsu Province.
Take Hongdou Group as an example. As a top 500 manufacturing enterprises in China and a leading enterprise in Wuxi, it actively embraces digitalization, creates "smart reddou", and accelerates digital transformation. The smart factory production system established by its Hongdou Smart Suit Factory has built an integrated platform for digital production management, achieving digital and efficient production.

Based on digital management of , the situation of points, lines and surfaces in the workshop is clear and clear, reducing the dependence on manual proficiency, achieving standardization, and improving work efficiency.
Digital transformation has been accelerating the pace of digitalization of Wuxi's industry. After years of construction, the work system and policy support system have been further improved, and a series of new achievements have been achieved in demonstration and leadership and systematic promotion.
Ten years of looking at digital application scenarios to build a digital city
In September 2021, Wuxi Urban Mobility Center was launched. Wuxi has built the first "urban brain" in Jiangsu Province with a digital foundation as the core, empowering the application of multiple scenarios of urban management, one-stop management, and epidemic prevention and control, and promoting the digitalization of governance. More than 98% of government service matters have achieved "face-to-face approval". The "Huiqitong" platform provides 360,000 market entities with services such as "one certificate service" and "one license service". The registered users of the "Lingxi" city service APP basically cover the city's permanent population, becoming the first application in the domestic digital city service portal.
