Recently, GETECHCEOHe Jun accepted an exclusive interview with Southern Entrepreneur hosted by the Guangdong Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology, sharing thoughts on industrial internet development from the perspective of enterprise resumption and epidemic prevention under the pandemic's impact. The original report is as follows:

The pandemic pressed the pause button on the national economy.
 
“From the perspective of the entire manufacturing industry, the trend of slowing capacity and investment is certain. But the pandemic has raised corporate awareness of risks, accelerating all-round digital transformation, and more people are realizing the value of the industrial internet: digitalization is the necessary path for manufacturing transformation, and the industrial internet is an effective means. For the industrial internet, development will enter the fast lane.” GETECH Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “GETECH”) CEO He Jun said in an interview with reporters on March 24.
 
Undoubtedly, the pandemic is a major test for industrial internet companies and a practical application for product implementation.
 
With unclear pandemic developments and the wave of resumption of work, many manufacturing enterprises face challenges such as epidemic control, material shortages, labor shortages, and supply chain risks. After many offline activities moved online, industrial internet companies based on the comprehensive interconnection of people, machines, and things keenly captured opportunities—through a series of solutions like data collection, online collaboration, remote maintenance, remote monitoring, and smart employment, helping industrial enterprises quickly resume work.
 
At this critical moment when industrial enterprises urgently need to resume work, industrial internet companies have encountered opportunities.
 
Backed by TCL with deep manufacturing genes, GETECH, an industrial internet company rooted in the deep integration of AI, big data, IoT, and other cutting-edge technologies with manufacturing experience, quickly launched products related to epidemic prevention and work resumption. He Jun said, “GETECH quickly launched an intelligent park epidemic prevention control solution based on the control needs of related enterprises for work resumption, covering three core areas: internal and external visitors, park environment, and production materials.”
 
From GETECH's manufacturing enterprise epidemic prevention and work resumption solutions, we can see the applicable scenarios of the industrial internet:
 
| Scenario 1: During the tense pandemic, how can resuming enterprises solve the problem of employee health information statistics.
The intelligent epidemic prevention control platform solution developed based on the Dongzhi IoT platform and mobile platform uses mobile apps, WeChat mini-programs, environmental sensors, high-precision infrared thermometers, and other terminal devices to collect and statistics environmental, personnel, and material-related epidemic prevention information, fully mastering park epidemic progress, including employee return-to-work data collection, real-time monitoring and warning of abnormal cases, disinfection of key areas, and summary display of epidemic information. It helps enterprises achieve intelligent and daily epidemic prevention work.
 
| Scenario 2: With transportation受阻, employees cannot return to the office in time.
The factory remote office solution developed based on the Dongzhi mobile platform, video communication platform, and industrial IoT platform provides comprehensive remote collaboration hardware and software integration through instant messaging apps, video conferences, call centers, smart helmets, VR glasses, audio and video lossless compression and noise reduction technology, and various mobile and fixed screen terminals, solving issues like online办公, mobile operations, personal and large video conferences, online customer service, and online approval.
 
| Scenario 3: Factory equipment fails during the pandemic, and on-site repair is not timely.
The remote equipment maintenance solution integrated and developed based on the Dongzhi IoT platform, mobile platform, and office collaboration方案 addresses the needs of mobile and remote maintenance and predictive management for new-generation equipment. Equipment experts can remotely diagnose issues and guide frontline workers in professional equipment repair through the system.
 
| Scenario 4: Engineers and factory managers work from home; how to remotely monitor production operations in real-time.
The production visualization solution, based on the Dongzhi IoT platform, big data platform, mobile platform, and integration with various application systems, can integrate data from industrial site equipment and production, as well as enterprise原有 systems. Through provided reporting tools and built-in templates, users can quickly customize various business reports and monitoring pages. Engineers and factory managers can remotely and移动化 monitor production operations,打通数字化最后一公里, meeting the needs of various levels of personnel for on-site monitoring and decision-making. 
 
| Scenario 5: Enterprises face labor shortages; how to do more with fewer people.
The intelligent labor-saving solution developed with the Dongzhi intelligent platform and AI visual algorithm framework reduces factory reliance on labor. On one hand, in logistics equipment, it achieves autonomous navigation, trackless AGV delivery, and intelligent sorting入库 for unmanned smart warehouses. On the other hand, in appearance inspection, it achieves automatic识别 and classification of fine defects, replacing manual inspection. 
 
These scenarios not only enable traditional manufacturing enterprises driven by labor and other factors to achieve cloud work and调控 without being on-site but also打通 the manufacturing supply chain's production and sales coordination, remote collaborative R&D, and multiple links in production sites, with all data查 on the cloud, greatly improving efficiency.
 
Thus, the industrial internet gives manufacturing enterprises more confidence and composure under the pandemic.
 
However, if the pandemic is a catalyst for industrial interconnection, then the series of "new infrastructure" policy layouts from central to local governments in early January added wings to the industrial internet.
 
1 月 January 3, State Council executive meeting: vigorously develop advanced manufacturing, introduce support policies for new infrastructure investment like information networks, and promote smart and green manufacturing; February 21, Central Politburo meeting emphasized: accelerate the development of biomedicine, medical equipment, 5G networks, industrial internet, etc. March 4 proposed to accelerate the progress of new infrastructure such as 5G networks and data centers.
 
Previously, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology also stated at the national industrial and信息化工作会议 that in 2020, it will implement the "5G+ Industrial Internet" 512 project. The industrial internet, along with 5G and AI, is listed as "new infrastructure," becoming one of the infrastructures of the digital age.
　　
It is understood that under the policy heat, many investors have increased their research on industrial internet projects, and news of new financing for industrial internet companies is frequent.
 
Spurred by the pandemic, policy support, and capital competition, whether the industrial internet will be the next红利期 is uncertain. The only certainty is that industry development requires continuous interaction and磨合 between technology and market demand, not an overnight process.
 
Moreover, the industrial internet is not an easy field; industry is inherently complex, with each细分行业 having its own characteristics. The industrial internet is not simply the sum of industry and internet, which makes it a long road for industrial internet companies. The industrial internet must connect various parts of the industry and provide a platform to link the entire产业链 on the cloud for deep value挖掘.
 
Regarding the currently备受关注的新基建, He Jun interpreted, “We see that in the new infrastructure projects announced by various地方, information network construction and other new infrastructure projects account for only 0.5%, exposing that although the country wants to support new infrastructure, the current technology and products of the industrial internet mostly provide services to enterprises in the form of projects and customization. It is not yet possible like old infrastructure, where policies and funds到位 can immediately start, as convenient as用水用电, quickly发挥作用 for enterprises.”
 
For the development trend of the industrial internet after the pandemic, He Jun said, “The pandemic is a catalyst, accelerating industry development. The positioning of new infrastructure also imposes higher requirements on the industrial internet; the original 5-10 year process may be accelerated by 1倍. This actually imposes higher requirements on the productization and commercialization of the industrial internet.”
