CCTV.com news: "The "China Vitality" in Data" series of reports, we will pay attention to the mobile Internet of Things today (September 29). Data just released by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology shows that as of the end of August, the number of mobile Internet of Things connections in my country reached 1.698 billion, while the number of mobile phone users representing "people-to-people" connections in my country was 1.678 billion. This transcendence means that my country has officially entered the era of "superhuman" and has become the first country among the world's major economies to achieve "superhuman".
It is understood that my country has built the world's largest mobile IoT network. Among them, the number of narrowband Internet of Things base stations supporting low-speed Internet of Things services has reached 755,000, and the number of 4G and 5G mobile network base stations supporting medium and high-speed Internet of Things services is 5.937 million and 2.102 million, respectively, which can meet the needs of various types of Internet of Things applications. The global share of mobile Internet of Things connections in my country exceeds 70%.
At present, my country's mobile Internet of Things applications have formed 2.4 billion-level applications of the Internet of Vehicles, public services, retail services, smart home html, and 23 ten million-level applications of smart agriculture, intelligent manufacturing, and smart logistics. China Academy of Information and Communications predicts that by 2030, the number of mobile Internet of Things connections in my country will reach a scale of tens of billions.
The Internet of Things is “omnipresent” to empower thousands of industries
When it comes to the “Internet of Things”, we may not be very familiar with it. What exactly does the Internet of Things do? What does it have to do with our lives? In fact, the Internet of Things can be said to be "omnipresent" in our lives.
Remote management of home water, electricity and gas is the most widely used field of mobile Internet of Things. At the Jinan Energy Group Gas Comprehensive Operation and Dispatch Center, staff can view and manage nearly 500,000 IoT gas meters in the city in real time through the smart gas management platform.
IoT gas meter has built-in communication and calculation control module, which has data transmission and analysis functions, and can automatically collect data, real-time billing, online recharge, automatic alarm, remote control valve and other functions.
The Chinese medicinal materials planting base in Tangxia Village, Wucheng Township, Zhangshu City, Jiangxi Province has launched an ecological agriculture and forestry monitoring system this year. The system's Internet of Things sensor can monitor the content of heavy metal elements such as copper, lead, chromium in the soil in real time, and issue a warning in a timely manner. The base also has IoT facilities such as water and fertilizer integration, intelligent meteorology, pest control, product traceability and other Internet of Things facilities. Staff can monitor air humidity, pests, and soil pH in real time in the office.
In the intelligent connected car road test area of Wuxi Economic and Technological Development Zone, Jiangsu Province, this Internet of Things system called "super eye" allows vehicles and roads to perceive and communicate with each other. "Super Eye" combines cameras, lidar , and millimeter wave sensors. During driving, through autonomous detection and real-time traffic data sent from the cloud, vehicles can sense traffic light information, pedestrians, traffic signs and other transportation tools in advance, actively guide vehicles to respond in a timely manner, and realize vehicle-road collaborative autonomous driving.
The Internet of Things changes "Made in China"
We say that the Internet of Things empowers thousands of industries. In fact, the biggest and most profound possible changes it brings is the combination with the manufacturing industry. Next, let’s visit two factories together to see what kind of “sparks” will be created when the Internet of Things meets Manufacture in China.
Entered this clothing company in Wuhan, Hubei, and more than a dozen orders are being produced simultaneously on the production line. The Internet of Things system jointly built by 5G network, artificial intelligence images, big data systems, etc. allows managers to view and control each station, order, and equipment in real time through this large screen in the office area.
The most noteworthy of this is that in recent years, affected by the younger e-commerce and consumption, customers' personalized demand for clothing has become increasingly high. However, the Internet of Things has intervened in production and customer demands have reached the production end, allowing enterprises to seamlessly connect small orders while producing large orders without affecting production efficiency.
In a photovoltaic technology enterprise in Ningjin, Hebei, smart guide transport vehicles shuttle back and forth in the production workshop, connecting all links of solar cell production, and using the Internet of Things based on 5G technology , allowing the enterprise's intelligent manufacturing is not only reflected in intelligent transportation in the production process, from the procurement of raw and auxiliary materials into the factory to the production line, from the incoming of finished products to the delivery and out of the warehouse, multi-source data such as people, machines, and materials are integrated in the Internet of Things. What we see is the interconnection of different production equipment, and what we cannot see is the integrated control of data perception, collection, analysis and processing.
Relying on the production efficiency brought by the Internet of Things, this photovoltaic company's products have a global market share of 14%. Local government departments are also encouraging and guiding more companies to use new generation information technologies such as 5G, artificial intelligence, and the Internet of Things to further integrate intelligent equipment and information systems to form a modern manufacturing system.
IoT industry ushers in development opportunities
"Things are superhuman" means that the mobile network has further developed from serving people and information consumption to serving thousands of industries, making the vision of "Internet of Everything" truly a reality, marking that my country is leading the development of the global mobile IoT ecosystem and has also brought huge development opportunities to related industries.
In Songshan Lake, Dongguan, Guangdong, the head of this IoT sensor company is debugging the upcoming visual one-click emergency alarm device with colleagues. The company's head told reporters that he has been planning to produce and develop IoT-related products in advance since last year and has increased the development of integrated Internet of Things and AI technology. Revenue growth has surged since the beginning of this year.
This laboratory is testing the newly developed online monitoring system for train wheel pairs, which mainly uses IoT sensors to collect and share data to achieve safety detection of train driving. The technician told reporters that the import price of the equipment in the past was as high as more than 300,000 yuan, but now the cost is only one-sixth of the original one.
Market research institutions data show that China's Internet of Things spending exceeds US$150 billion in 2021. It is estimated that by 2026, China's Internet of Things spending will reach nearly US$300 billion, basically doubling in five years, becoming the world's largest Internet of Things market.
