Four Years of 'Dual-Cross' | Dongzhi Platform: Manufacturing Digital Transformation 'Game Changer'
Currently, China's manufacturing high-quality development faces both opportunities and challenges, and new-generation information technologies like the Industrial Internet are key to breaking through.
On May 5, the list of '2022 New Cross-Industry and Cross-Domain Industrial Internet Platforms' was officially announced. The Dongzhi Industrial Application Intelligent Platform was awarded this national certification on its first application, showing strong comprehensive strength. This means China's first Industrial Internet platform from semiconductor manufacturing, focused on pan-semiconductor and new energy, passed the 'national-level' test.
The 'Dual-Cross' platform certification, led by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology since 2019, is a national strategy to promote Industrial Internet development. It aims to deepen integration of informatization and industrialization, supporting China's manufacturing power strategy and the '14th Five-Year Plan' for smart manufacturing. It selects top platforms from hundreds to build digital economy infrastructure and boost manufacturing upgrade.
Dongzhi Platform:
From 'Master Craftsman' to 'Industrial Geek'
2022 marks the fourth year of 'Dual-Cross' and Greatech Dongzhi's fourth anniversary. Greatech Dongzhi, incubated by TCL with the mission 'Explore Wisdom, Create Prosperity', was founded in 2018. Leveraging TCL's manufacturing experience, it focuses on advanced manufacturing and production sites, building the first national 'Dual-Cross' platform from semiconductor manufacturing—Dongzhi Platform.
Dongzhi Platform offers cloud-based functions, is an Industrial Internet platform for production sites, helps optimize operations, and enables engineers to become 'industrial geeks' with self-service modeling and development tools. It scales with device growth and business needs, and provides full security.
Notably, Dongzhi Platform has strong core capabilities. It integrates IoT access, data analysis, and app development, forming a complete loop. It boosts efficiency with low-code/no-code development, supports microsecond data collection and PB-level processing, and enables decision analysis. It handles millions of device connections with high concurrency, offering secure connectivity.
Dongzhi Platform has passed stringent semiconductor tests, attracts developers, and builds a leading ecosystem. By the list release, it had nearly 30,000 industrial models and over 10,000 industrial apps.
It is a top choice for leading manufacturers and one of the fastest-growing platforms across industries. Greatech Dongzhi serves over 20 sectors like pan-semiconductor,新能源, 3C electronics,家电, petroleum, and aerospace, with clients including TCL华星,华虹, ASML, and others. Applications cover production, quality control, operations, energy saving, etc.
Harmony and Coexistence:
Strengthening Industrial Chain Resilience, Building Manufacturing Digital Base
As digital transformation deepens, the Industrial Internet shows its industrial weight. It connects people, machines, and systems to create new production models, reducing costs and improving efficiency.
Greatech Dongzhi drives transformation with quality products and reliable services. Dongzhi Platform's certification proves it's a trustworthy high-performance product. Its three divisions—pan-semiconductor,新能源, and 3C electronics/smart auto—offer vertical, deep services. For example, in pan-semiconductor, it has a 700+ team expert in software and full-stack factory services. In新能源, 90% of the team comes from lithium battery and solar industries, with advisors for deeper client understanding.
In recent years, Greatech Dongzhi has partnered with Chinese firms on digital transformation. Competition is now between industrial chains, not just companies. Promoting chain-wide innovation is key to enhancing competitiveness. As an Industrial Internet platform, Greatech Dongzhi will focus on vertical platforms and ecosystems, deepening specialization and broadening reach to empower various industries.
Beyond 'Dual-Cross':
Greatech Dongzhi's New Journey
Becoming a Dual-Cross platform is a new start. The four-year-old company will continue with youthful passion, endless tech exploration, and injecting new energy into manufacturing.
First, focus on R&D and tech innovation. Tech is the foundation; applying cutting-edge tech to industrial sites boosts competitiveness. In the next 5 years, Greatech Dongzhi will invest over 2 billion yuan in edge AI, digital twin, etc., partnering with TCL Research and international firms to enhance platform capabilities.
Second, build platform ecology. Expand ecology through vertical platforms, partner alliances, developer 'Nebula Plan', and industry-education integration. The 'Nebula Plan' offers free no-code tools for individual developers and low-code platforms for enterprises.
Third, strengthen two industrial chains. Help pan-semiconductor and新能源 chains with network synergy and smart production; support core system localization and invest in key industrial software.
Fourth, aid 'Dual Carbon' goals. Accelerate product development in smart energy, carbon management, and green parks, offering green solutions to reduce energy costs and enable green transition.
Fifth, empower industrial clusters. Focus on Central China, Yangtze River Delta, Pearl River Delta, and Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, forming a 'four-in-one' regional pattern to drive local clusters and help SMEs.
Sixth, build self-reliant smart factory solutions. Speed up core tech breakthroughs, localize industrial software. Use Dongzhi Platform to重构 factory 'OS', expand app library with partners, and offer full-stack smart factory solutions.
In 2018, Greatech Dongzhi started its Industrial Internet journey; in 2022, it became a national Dual-Cross platform. Looking ahead, it will uphold its vision 'Make Industry Smarter', aim for global competitiveness, and contribute to China's manufacturing upgrade and global strength.
