Can Shanghai's industrial park and washing machine factory be intelligently "attached" to retain manufacturing for the city? Insight into the "data mutation" digital factory | Kasati | CITIC | satellite Internet | three-dimensional "land, sea, air and sky" | star chain | Musk
About 12000 satellites were launched into low Earth orbit, forming a space "star chain", thus providing high-speed Internet services to users around the world, supporting streaming media, online games, video calls and other services. The maximum download speed has reached 301 megabytes per second. Tesla CEO Musk's "Star Chain" plan is actually quietly being laid out in Shanghai. The Shanghai World Mobile Communications Conference, also known as "MWC Shanghai", is currently underway. The reporter learned from the "Digital Shanghai" exhibition at the conference and the accompanying "New Infrastructure Leading the New Future of Digital Industry" forum that although sea and fiber optic cables currently account for more than 90% of international communication, Shanghai is looking ahead and accelerating the construction of a new intelligent network that integrates land, sea, air, and space development.
If you want to build a house, first cure its foundation. Tang Wenkan, Deputy Director of the Municipal Commission of Economy and Information Technology, introduced at the forum that the overall plan for "Digital China" issued by the state this year proposes to strengthen the "two foundations" of digital infrastructure and data resource system. In Shanghai, Shanghai Information Investment Co., Ltd., a demonstration and strategic state-owned functional investment platform for the information industry established in 1997, has established national level data exchanges, international data ports, and integrated computing and network facilities. It has more than 50 enterprises in the fields of big data, aviation trade supply chain, information security, digital new infrastructure, and smart city, and is the main force in Shanghai's digital city construction.
Taking the new productivity "computing power" in the digital economy era as an example, artificial intelligence, digital twins, and the metaverse are igniting the demand for computing power. Therefore, Shanghai has innovatively built a computing power coordination and scheduling platform, striving to ensure that computing power is "plug and play like water and electricity". "At the same time, in line with the national strategy, we are also demonstrating the feasibility of intensive construction of cross-border communication infrastructure in Shanghai and even China," said Shi Jie, Vice President of Shanghai CITIC.
From computing power, integrated networks of land, sea, air, and space, to industrial parks and enterprises, the systems and organs of Shanghai are all undergoing digital transformation. It is reported that there are 30 pilot smart parks, 5 "AI+parks", 6 industrial Internet benchmark parks, and 53 municipal characteristic industrial parks in Shanghai, which are transforming to smart parks. The ultimate goal of these parks is to build organic living organisms that can make independent decisions and self evolve and optimize based on data. These parks, which are attached to data mining and digital intelligence, have released about 15% of resource utilization efficiency compared to the original, and the rental level of the parks can generally achieve a 10% to 20% increase.
Wang Yongli, Technical Director of Shanghai Tongfu Innovation and Application Research Institute, introduced that the smart park can timely detect "data mutations", including sudden changes in energy consumption or revenue, large-scale recruitment, and sudden increases in visits. "When data mutations occur, it is also a time for the park to take proactive actions, providing security services, precise investment attraction and other services in a timely manner, and avoiding risks such as enterprise relocation or illegal operation."
It is understood that the construction of Shanghai's "digital base" is also retaining high-end manufacturing for the city. The Shanghai washing machine interconnection factory located in Songjiang has 4 intelligent assembly lines, 4 intelligent module processing areas, and 2 sets of intelligent logistics systems, mainly producing high-end products such as Casarte washing machines. Haier Casarte is constantly in short supply, accounting for 20% of the national washing machine market share and 80% of the high-end market share of over 10000 yuan. It is precisely this world's first IoT mass customization benchmark factory built with digital twin technology that enables production and manufacturing to respond more quickly to consumer demand, achieve coordinated development of the supply chain, and support the planned annual production capacity of 2.8 million units. Tang Wenkan said that Shanghai will continue to vigorously promote the construction of "digital innovation" new facilities with "network as the foundation, data as the core, computing power as the key, and security as the bottom line", providing strong support for Shanghai's modern industrial system.
