Editor's Note: In November 2017, the "State Council's Guiding Opinions on Deepening 'Internet + Advanced Manufacturing' to Develop Industrial Internet" (hereinafter referred to as the "Guiding Opinions") was officially issued, becoming a纲领性文件 for China's industrial Internet development,指明了方向 for opening a new局面. Over the past five years, China's industrial Internet has developed steadily, becoming an important force in accelerating manufacturing digital transformation and supporting high-quality economic development. To further advance the "Guiding Opinions," China Electronics News联合 the Industrial Internet Platform Innovation Cooperation Center launched the "Industrial Internet迈向新征程" column, inviting government leaders, experts, scholars, and platform enterprise representatives to review the development journey, summarize achievements, analyze the current status, focus on core technologies and industry trends, and解析 the empowering role and development direction of industry platforms.

Manufacturing is a key pillar of China's high-quality economic development, constantly facing new challenges and opportunities. Over the past decade, China's manufacturing value-added increased from 16.98 trillion yuan in 2012 to 31.4 trillion yuan in 2021, with global share rising to nearly 30%, maintaining its position as the world's largest manufacturing country. Meanwhile, using emerging technologies like industrial Internet to drive transformation and upgrade industrial chain positions has become an inevitable choice for China's manufacturing to应对 challenges and strengthen international competitiveness.

Industrial Internet is the core engine for manufacturing transformation and upgrading

As the foundation for smart manufacturing, industrial Internet integrates technologies like 5G, IoT, big data, industrial AI, and digital twins, driving reorganization of production factors, process optimization, quality improvement, and industrial chain integration, enabling transformation. With accelerated integration of new IT and manufacturing, industrial Internet has become a core engine for China's manufacturing to seize digital opportunities, achieve transformation, and overtake on curves.

At Getech Eastwise, we focus on empowering China's manufacturing with industrial Internet. Since being strategically incubated by TCL in 2018, Getech Eastwise adheres to a "platform + software" product定位, developing the independent东智工业应用智能平台 (Eastwise Industrial Application Intelligence Platform, hereinafter referred to as the Eastwise Platform), with nearly 30,000 industrial models and over 10,000 industrial apps, building an ecosystem covering continuous, discrete, and hybrid manufacturing modes. Today, Getech Eastwise has grown into a leading comprehensive industrial Internet platform company in China, and the Eastwise Platform was selected by MIIT as a "2022 Cross-Industry Cross-Field Industrial Internet Platform".

As the only national双跨平台 originating from the semiconductor industry, Getech Eastwise rapidly extends领先 digital technologies and smart practices from semiconductors to over 20细分 industries like new energy, smart cars, 3C electronics, home appliances, petrochemicals, and aerospace. As a preferred industrial Internet platform for leading manufacturers, Getech Eastwise has successfully built benchmark factories for companies like TCL华星光电, TCL实业,华虹华力, ASML,中车半导体,高德红外,立讯精密,长电绍兴,康吉森,中信科移动通信, and武钢维尔卡. In this process, the platform not only helps leading enterprises strengthen international competitiveness and industrial chains but also provides technical empowerment for SMEs and plays an innovative role in core technology突破与应用.

Serving industrial scenarios and creating business value is key

Whether industrial Internet truly发挥出 its role as a digital driver for manufacturing transformation depends on its ability to apply technological innovation to industrial scenarios, meet on-site needs, and create real business value.

In this regard, Getech Eastwise addresses business needs and pain points in production, promoting the落地应用 of innovative technologies in key automation scenarios. For example, in quality management, which determines semiconductor operational效益, Getech Eastwise联合 TCL华星 and TCL工研院 developed the "AI-based Panel Defect Automatic Judgment System," the first AI project in China's semiconductor display industry for defect judgment. Using machine vision, deep learning, and other AI technologies, it achieves automatic defect image classification, increasing detection speed by 10 times compared to manual methods, accuracy to 90%, and saving millions of yuan annually per factory. Based on Getech Eastwise's platform, this technology has been applied to industries like 3C electronics, SMT, semiconductors, and new energy, creating tangible value for dozens of sectors.

As industrial Internet's supply capacity and industry applications deepen, manufacturing intelligence has expanded from single-scene empowerment to whole-plant optimization. Industrial Internet enables data interconnection across all core production links, achieving smart management and optimizing resource allocation and operational efficiency. For example, at a smart factory built by Getech Eastwise for a domestic semiconductor company, global optimization covers from wafer production, packaging testing to成品组装, multi-factory, multi-workshop production management, quality control, and process optimization, greatly improving collaboration efficiency. By integrating data from multiple businesses, processes, and systems, the client achieves full-process traceability from raw material crystal pulling to成品组装, optimizing management efficiency across multiple factories, with MES and EAP coordination reaching领先水平.

Industrial Internet should safeguard强链补链 and自主可控

Industrial Internet platforms are hubs for connecting and efficiently configuring all elements,产业链, and value chains. As a technical foundation supporting the efficient operation and synergy of "man, machine, material, method, and environment," industrial Internet drives reorganization of production factors, industrial chain integration, and structural adjustment. Beyond serving individual enterprises and enhancing smart manufacturing levels, it provides unprecedented opportunities for强链补链 and building自主可控 industrial chains and supply chains.

For example, in ensuring industrial chain自主可控 and security, Getech Eastwise, born from semiconductor manufacturing, has made突出 contributions to supporting the自主可控研发 of core systems in the semiconductor industry chain. As the "crown jewel" of high-end manufacturing, semiconductor digital technology is generally more advanced, with complex processes, high reliability requirements, massive data, and difficult analysis. In the past, even leading semiconductor companies relied on foreign industrial software. After years of self-research, Getech Eastwise has achieved 80% localization of industrial software at a leading enterprise, safeguarding important industries.

Facing the ongoing digital wave, China's manufacturing must use industrial Internet as the core driver to accelerate digital transformation for upgrading and high-quality development. This requires not only government顶层设计 for deep integration of digital economy and manufacturing but also industry collaboration and共生. In the next five years, Getech Eastwise will invest over 2 billion yuan in R&D and promotion for key technologies like edge intelligence, AI, and digital twins, continuously enhancing the Eastwise Platform's technical support and empowerment capabilities, and deepening digital transformation cooperation with enterprises to contribute more industrial wisdom to推动 China's manufacturing transformation and high-quality economic development.
