Internet of Things applications and industry landscape gradually clear

“2011 is the first year of the Twelfth Five-Year Plan, and it is also a critical period for the development of China’s Internet of Things from concept to reality and accelerating the promotion of 'industrial development and application leadership'.” Recently, at the Second China International IoT Conference Ye Tianchun, director of the China Internet of Things Research and Development Center, stated that China's Internet of Things (IoT) industry and the international Internet of Things have developed together, and has made tremendous progress in policy environment, technological progress, market cultivation, standard setting, and industrial investment.

However, from the reality, at present, China's Internet of Things still faces many deep-seated problems. The core technologies in some areas of the Internet of Things industry have not yet broken through, the level of manufacturing processes is not high, the industrial chain is not well connected, the level of application needs is low, the business model is not clear, resources are not shared, and the overall competitiveness is not strong. At this stage, the development of the Internet of Things in China should be quickly transferred to the development stage with products, industries, demonstrations, commercial applications, and markets as its core content. With the promulgation of the “Twelfth Five-Year Development Plan for the Internet of Things Industry”, China's Internet of Things industry will usher in a new round of rational, orderly and rapid development.

The field of application tends to be clear Long Ye Tianchun said that from the perspective of time, RFID and sensor manufacturers will take the lead in the application of the Internet of Things industry, and system integrators and IoT operators will also benefit from the application of the Internet of Things. From the spatial perspective, the largest growth space is the Internet of Things operators, followed by system integrators, and the third is RFID and sensor vendors. With the acceleration of the construction of the safe city, the construction of the urban intelligent transportation system, and the acceleration of the “new medical reform” medical informationization, the three major areas of security, transportation, and medical care are expected to take the lead in the development of the Internet of Things, becoming the largest and most significant growth in the Internet of Things industry market. Notable areas.

From the operator's point of view, China Mobile (microblogging) said it wants to fully develop the Internet of Things. According to Xie Zhiyuan, deputy general manager of China Mobile’s IoT base, China Mobile will promote the development of the Internet of Things from three aspects: First, build an operating system that includes the construction of a special network number, the establishment of an Internet of Things operation management platform, and the development of an open platform. Construction. The second is the development of key industries. As the Internet of Things involves too many industries, too scattered, China Mobile will cut into several large industries, such as home, transportation, medical and other fields. The third is to expand industry applications. In addition to products, China Mobile will take the lead in doing some industry application solutions and form white papers for various provinces. It is reported that China Mobile will soon launch 4 full-network products in 4 areas: China Unicom, smart home, mobile phone two-dimensional code and mobile products.

Talking about the application of the Internet of Things, Guo Huipeng, an analyst at CCID Information City Information Center, explained to reporters that the environmental protection department has widely used sensors during the construction of more than ten years of automatic monitoring of key pollution sources and online monitoring of environmental quality. RFID and other related technologies have been recognized by the industry as the earliest field of IoT technology application.

It is reported that at the end of the 20th century, after China started the sensor network research, the environmental protection field began to use RFID as one of the application pilot areas. Since then, the Internet of Things has received more and more attention, and the process of industrialization has been accelerating. Related technologies have achieved a small range of applications in the field of environmental protection, such as the construction of environmentally friendly Internet-related applications in some cities and districts, through environmental quality monitoring and on-line monitoring of pollution sources. The system senses and applies basic conditions such as air quality and corporate environmental protection equipment.

At present, with the continuous maturation of the Internet of Things technology and the continuous expansion of the application scale, a four-in-one national environmental protection Internet of Things application system has initially taken shape.

Forming the four major industry pattern Internet of Things is a key development area for strategic emerging industries. The development of the Internet of Things industry is not only an important measure to increase the core competitiveness of the information industry, transform and upgrade traditional industries, and enhance the level of social information, but also accelerates the development of the region. Change and promote the important breakthrough of independent innovation.

Ye Tianchun said that the Chinese government has planned 3.86 trillion yuan of funds for the development of the Internet of Things industrialization in the next 10 years. According to his predictions, the scale of China's Internet of Things market will reach 250 billion yuan in 2011, and by 2015 China's Internet of Things market will reach 750 billion yuan, with a compound annual growth rate of more than 30%, and a huge development prospect.

“At present, about 90% of provinces in China have proposed the Internet of Things as a pillar industry in the region. From this data, it can be said that the development of the Internet of Things is already very hot.” ​​Wang Qi, General Manager of CCID Consulting Semiconductor Industry Research Center Said that in 2010, the scale of the domestic Internet of Things reached 193.3 billion yuan. At present, the domestic Internet of Things industry has initially formed the overall industrial spatial pattern of the development of the four major regions of the Bohai Rim, the Yangtze River Delta, the Pearl River Delta, and the central and western regions. Among them, the industrial scale of the Yangtze River Delta region ranks first in the four major regions.

Wang Xi explained that the Yangtze River Delta Region is the origin of China's Internet of Things technology and applications. With the deep industry foundation of the electronic information industry in the region, the development of the Internet of Things industry in the Yangtze River Delta region is mainly targeted at the high end of the industry chain, and is soft from the Internet of Things. The two core links of hardware core products and technologies start with the implementation of standards and patent strategies, forming a cluster of national IoT industry core and leading enterprises.

Smart city construction is an opportunity Smart city is an inevitable outcome of China's urbanization to a certain level, and it is of great significance to the current development of the Internet of Things industry. The state advocates the development of the Internet of Things industry, in order to realize the integration of economic transformation and industrialization and informationization. Local governments have responded in succession, attaching great importance to the development of the Internet of Things industry and focusing on building smart cities.

The development of emerging technologies such as mobile internet, internet of things, and cloud computing has made it possible to combine technology with urban construction and urban management. Smart city construction has rapidly evolved from being a star to a prairie fire throughout the country.

“The real smart city will definitely unite these technologies, but in fact, there are too many 'islands' in the city’s Internet of Things.” Zhao Gang, President of Beijing Information Technology Co., Ltd. said that at present, smart power, intelligence Words such as traffic, smart homes, and smart buildings emerge in an endless stream, but traffic management departments usually only deal with intelligent transportation. Intelligent building professionals only manage smart buildings, and power departments only focus on smart power. Everyone in the Eight Immortals crosses the sea and each shows a supernatural power. There is neither information sharing nor the overall structure of the Internet of Things. How to use technological means to achieve intelligent operation of urban management has become the only way to solve the current urban management problems.

According to statistics, there are currently 36 smart cities under construction in China, most of which are located in the eastern coastal areas, and some cities have achieved initial success. Although the mainland cities started late, they are actively exploring the development strategy of smart cities that are in line with their own positioning. Zhao Gang stated that through a comprehensive analysis of the smart city construction programs in the 36 cities, it was found that although the construction plans, implementation methods, technical means, and degree of integration of each city are different, they are basically all served by government services, civil air defense emergency, and public safety. Social management consists of four parts.

"The construction of smart cities has become an important opportunity for the development of the Internet of Things industry. With the construction of smart cities gradually starting in China, the Internet of Things will usher in an unprecedented opportunity for development," said Ye Tianchun.
