Because the core of the Internet of Things is the Industrial Internet; because, in comparison, the Industrial Internet has a more profound impact on our production, life and survival value than the consumer Internet.

From the perspective of national strategy. Relevant materials will mention Germany's Industry 4.0, the United States' Industrial Internet, and China Manufacturing 2025, using these to prove that the national level has long been "on edge". It is true that: at the level of ordinary consumers, commercial information related to "travel, sharing, and consumption upgrades" is flying all over the sky, while at the huge industrial and manufacturing level, the "Industrial Internet Revolution is quiet."

From the perspective of the lively venture capital direction. The so-called "capital winter" is only the winter of mobile Internet projects and O2O projects. The total amount of investment has not decreased, but is still rising, and the proportion of investment in high-end manufacturing is increasing significantly. The truth behind the "capital winter" is that the consumer Internet industry, which is more easily noticed by the public, has entered a winter. For high-quality technology companies, it is easier to get money.

Industry is heavy, and "trends" are also heavy, which is difficult for the general public to talk about lightly

Transformation Factory CEO Kan Lei publicly declared: The myth of mobile Internet has been shattered, and industrial digitalization will become the biggest trend within 5 years. Kan Lei said that the industrial robot market has grown by 20% year after year and will reach 40 billion US dollars in 2020. "The industrial Internet will even reach a market of 1.7 trillion US dollars, 2.6 times that of 2014."

The 2015 report of the Alliance for Innovation in Manufacturing Productivity in the United States pointed out that in the next three years, the growth of information equipment and industrial equipment in the United States will reach more than four times of GDP, bringing an 8% high growth to the United States, the world's largest economy. China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued a document requiring that in 2017, domestic industrial technology transformation investment should account for more than 40% of total industrial investment, which will bring 1.6 trillion market opportunities to industrial digitalization this year.

However, just as the birth and development of the world's leading power generation companies have attracted worldwide attention, while the widespread use of electricity has led to more companies and industrial changes that have a more far-reaching impact and lasted longer, but has received less attention; just as the birth of the world's leading computer companies and the formation of giants have caused noise, but the widespread application of computers in all walks of life has not caused exclamations; the Internet has plunged into industry, bringing about the Fourth Industrial Revolution, and only when we look back can we sigh at its magnificence.

Industrial Internet is the confluence of two revolutions, and the magic can be seen in 1%

Ma Huateng said: "Internet +" is no longer limited to government affairs, people's livelihood, medical care and other fields, but has begun to empower the real economy such as retail, aviation, and manufacturing.

Wang Xing, CEO of New Meituan, said: China's Internet has entered the "second half", "We have only done a very thin layer, mainly online traffic, helping merchants with marketing, and doing the last small section of the entire industrial chain. Looking forward, what "Internet +" needs to do is to industrialize the Internet of all industries from upstream to downstream."

These are just the voices of Internet companies.

As far as the industrial Internet is concerned, there are five forces involved. The future competition is a cross-border battle, a fusion battle, a platform battle, and an ecological battle, which is very fierce.

The first category of enterprises are industrial enterprises;

The second category of enterprises are IT enterprises, such as IBM and Microsoft;

The third category is telecom operators, such as China Mobile, China Unicom, and AT&T in the United States;

The fourth category is Internet enterprises, such as China's BAT, America's Google and Amazon, etc.;

The fifth category is emerging startups.

Well, it is called "Internet+" one moment, the second half of the Internet the next, and "Industrial Internet" the next. Let's get back to the concept of Industrial Internet.

"Industrial Internet" is a strategic concept proposed by General Electric in 2012. Later, the US manufacturing industry and IT giants formed the Industrial Internet Alliance. During this period, this concept was accepted by the US government, and corresponding support and promotion policies were formulated.

The concept of "Industrial Internet" is commonly mentioned in China, and most of the time it is used to call on the government and group companies to build an "Industrial Internet Platform".

In the words of General Electric CEO Ismail, the so-called Industrial Internet is "an open, global network that connects people, data and machines. The goal of the Industrial Internet is to upgrade those key industrial fields."

The Industrial Internet is the fusion of two revolutions, and ultimately realizes the super battleship.

The first is the Industrial Revolution. The Industrial Revolution brought about hundreds of years of development of machines, equipment, facilities and system networks; the second is the Internet Revolution, which has emerged in the decades of development of big data, cloud computing, super algorithms, information and communication systems and other advanced technologies.

General Electric released the "Industrial Internet" report, "The Power of 1%" is impressive.

“The technological innovations of the Industrial Internet will be directly applied in sectors with a scale of more than $32.3 trillion in economic activities. By 2025, the application areas of the Industrial Internet will reach an output of $82 trillion, or half of the global economy.”

In the commercial aviation sector alone, saving 1% of fuel means saving $30 billion in costs in the next 15 years. Similarly, a 1% increase in the efficiency of all natural gas-fired power plants worldwide means saving fuel worth $66 billion. The global medical industry will also benefit from the Industrial Internet by improving the efficiency of processes. A 1% increase in global medical efficiency means saving more than $63 billion in medical costs.

In the global rail freight industry, if the efficiency is improved by 1%, it means saving $27 billion in fuel.
