5G has become an indispensable supporting technology for industrial transformation and upgrading

Since the release of the first version of the 5G standard, the integration of 5G and industrial Internet applications has become a hot topic of discussion in the society.

In fact, in the early stage of 5G technical standard formulation, industrial applications were the focus of 5G demand research. The low-latency and high-reliability uRLLC technology's delay and reliability indicators were formulated to meet industrial real-time control, unmanned driving and other applications.

After the pre-commercial use of 5G equipment, domestic and foreign operators and communication equipment vendors have cooperated with industrial enterprises, established a series of 5G application innovation research centers, and carried out a large number of research and experiments on the integration of 5G and industrial applications.

At present, the country has formed five 5G network transformation and promotion service platforms in enterprises, the three major operators have also formed dozens of 5G application innovation centers or laboratories, and a large number of 5G and industrial Internet integration star enterprises have emerged.

Thoughts on the integrated application of 5G and industrial Internet

1.5G has become an indispensable supporting technology for industrial transformation and upgrading

In the era of Industry 4.0, industrial enterprises are facing the challenge of personalized production and service-oriented transformation.

As a new generation of mobile communication system, 5G has a transmission rate of more than 100M, millisecond delay, and reliability of 5~6 9s, ensuring that it can be integrated with all aspects of the industry, providing industrial enterprises with flexible production lines and production. Intelligent tools also provide a means for industrial enterprises to connect with users and supply chains, and promote the transformation of the industry to intelligent, service-oriented, and high-end industries.

On the one hand, 5G technology has revolutionized the production mode and organization of industrial enterprises. Through 5G technology, the all-round interconnection of personnel, equipment and environment and the remote real-time control of production equipment are realized, which promotes the development of industrial production in the direction of unmanned, networked, intelligent and collaborative.

For example, Qingdao Port uses 5G to realize remote operation of quay cranes, which can simultaneously meet the 20ms end-to-end delay and 30-channel high-definition video return requirements required for remote operation, and realize the remote operation of four quay cranes by one person, which not only effectively improves It improves the working environment of employees and saves 75% of labor costs, which effectively promotes the realization of unmanned terminals; Hangzhou Steam Turbine uses 5G+3D modeling to realize intelligent product quality detection, which meets the 100Mbps image upload requirements of 3D scanners. Reduce the quality inspection time of engine blades from hour level to minute level, promote blade quality inspection from random inspection mode to full inspection mode, and change the warehousing inspection of product parts in the supply chain to remote inspection by the supplier to realize the supply The real-time collaboration of the chain reduces the rework of parts production, guarantees the effective and rapid development of each process, and improves the overall efficiency by 20%.

On the other hand, 5G technology promotes changes in the production and operation models of industrial enterprises.

Through the combination of 5G technology and its own products, industrial enterprises have gained an entrance to interact with customers. Through comprehensive monitoring or control of product status, they can provide customers with more targeted and personalized services, which has promoted industrial enterprises from the production-oriented approach. The transformation and upgrading of enterprises to service-oriented enterprises.

For example, Guangxi Liugong uses 5G+MEC's 19ms end-to-end delay and 100Mbps upload capability to achieve high-efficiency and low-latency remote control of loaders and monitoring of the operating environment, thus turning it from a single business model of selling equipment to A variety of business models. On the one hand, it can provide services to customers by renting equipment, that is, customers do not need to purchase equipment, but only need to pay according to the length of time the equipment is used;

On the other hand, it can provide customers with value-added services, such as regular replacement of parts, regular maintenance reminders, etc., by collecting equipment related information, such as vehicle status, vehicle working time limit, equipment failure frequency and other data, so that enterprises can provide services from equipment manufacturers Business transformation.
