Coordinated development of in-depth research • Zhanjiang digital economy

Whether in the park or enterprise, with the in-depth development of digital technology, digital applications are being widely landed in Zhanjiang. The Regional Coordinated Development Research Group of Southern Metropolis Daily visited and investigated the integrated development of Zhanjiang's real economy and digital economy, and gained an in-depth understanding of the changes and development of the small household appliance industry in Lianjiang, as well as the innovative forms of digital production in the agricultural and aquatic products industries.

The survey found that Lianjiang Zhizhuo, which takes small household appliances as the leading industry, has made efforts to digital precision; Zhanjiang Aquatic Products relies on big data to strive to build a global frozen product supply chain public service platform. At the moment of grasping the digital "outlet", enterprises are accelerating the application of new generation information technologies such as industrial Internet and 5G to implement digital transformation and upgrading. However, during the transformation period, the scarcity of digital talent is a thorny problem encountered by many enterprises.

Lianjiang Intelligent Manufacturing precisely aims at digital production

Lianjiang in western Guangdong is the "hometown of China's rice cooker". Home appliances are famous, there are two Chinese famous brand products, 3 Guangdong famous brand products, 8 Guangdong province famous trademarks, at the same time, Huaqiang electrical appliances, Weiwang electrical appliances, Gaobo electrical appliances, Weihong electrical appliances, Eliton electrical appliances and other 5 home appliance enterprises were rated as "China's top ten rice cooker export enterprises".

Walking into the production workshop of Guangdong Huaqiang Electric Appliance Group Co., Ltd., the machine is busy waving the mechanical arm, processing the semi-finished products, and then transporting them from the conveyor belt to the next process. Lu Xiping, general manager of Guangdong Huaqiang Electric Appliance Group Co., Ltd., introduced the results of the industrial Internet + intelligent manufacturing production line benchmarking demonstration project to the research group: after intelligent automation transformation, the workshop has achieved production safety, standard, energy saving, speed and efficiency, which has greatly reduced the occurrence of work accidents.

"The industrial Internet is an important support for the transformation of the digital economy, through the industrial Internet platform, you can directly obtain daily production data: how many rice cookers are produced per day, how many accessories are produced per day, and even specific to which group and worker a certain accessory comes from." Lu Xiping introduced that according to the calculation of 8 hours of working time a day, about 3,000 parts are manually produced, and the automated production is about 4,500-5,000. Efficiency is significantly improved.

The use of the mechanical arm has brought new development to the Lianjiang home appliance industry. This scene was also staged in the aluminum bile production workshop of Weiwang Group. Xu Guangzhi, production director of Weiwang, introduced that there are many production lines in the workshop to achieve automation, compared with labor, the automation output rate is not only improved, and the product accuracy rate is almost 100%, reducing labor and cost at the same time, improving speed and production capacity.

The research group found that at present, Including Huaqiang, Weiwang and other small household appliance enterprises in Lianjiang, with highly intelligent automation of hardware and assembly production workshops, are actively exploring the application of industry cloud platforms. Lu Xiping said that in the future, we will continue to increase investment in intelligent automation production lines and strive to achieve fully automated production as soon as possible; in terms of digital transformation, improve the construction of digital infrastructure and accelerate the application of digital systems and platforms.

Zhanjiang Aquatic Products Explores a new form of digital economy

Zhanjiang is thriving towards the sea, facing the sea on three sides, and the development of aquatic industry has a unique advantage in marine resources.

At present, Zhanjiang has grabbed the digital "outlet", and the 5G aquatic products processing production line of Guolian Company is leading the country; the intelligent pond breeding system pioneered by Hengxing Company has been put into use; and the Allianz aquatic products procurement platform integrates international trade, processing, warehousing, logistics and sales of aquatic products. Zhanjiang's aquatic industry has ushered in a golden opportunity period of accelerated development and accelerated the construction of a global aquatic industry highland.

Quanlian Collection is a platform that relies on big data to create a public service for the global frozen product supply chain. It was established in June 2019 and is jointly initiated by the Aquatic Industry Chamber of Commerce of the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce and the Zhanjiang Aquatic Products Circulation and Processing Association. Based on the characteristics of Zhanjiang industry, starting from subdivision, for a single species of "South American white shrimp", the company embeds from the traditional scene, opens the ecology through crowdfunding, and quickly establishes itself in the industry. Through two years of operation, the import volume of Penaeus monodon in South America ranked first in the country; the import volume and domestic trade volume exceeded 8 billion yuan, and the customs tariff paid was nearly 500 million yuan.

"The construction of the industrial Internet in the industry is the process of reshaping the industrial value chain, every link in the industrial chain needs to be digitally upgraded, and the industrial ecology is no longer the traditional sense of turning raw materials into products, but also processing 'data' elements, turning data into part of the product, and then expanding the value space of the industrial chain through data products and services." Lin Tianyang, deputy general manager of Quanlian Aquatic Products (Guangdong) Co., Ltd., said.

The outbreak of the new crown pneumonia epidemic in 2020 has disrupted the rhythm of enterprise production, but it has also brought new opportunities to enterprises. Many of the new online models of Guangdong Hengxing Group Co., Ltd. were originally emergency measures to fight the new crown pneumonia epidemic, and farmers could only choose to solve the difficulties encountered in agricultural production online, but their results made people see new opportunities for rural economic development.

For farmers, online has broadened the information channels, breeding no longer relies on the old yellow calendar, agricultural technology, market and other information can be quickly shared, and even directly to the processing, circulation, terminal sales of agricultural products, so that agricultural production is more accurate and efficient. For Hengxing, the online model opens up the contact channel between enterprises and farmers, greatly improves service efficiency, and can also trigger the brand fission effect at a speed of ten to hundreds and one hundred.

According to the relevant person in charge of the company, Hengxing is rooted in the industrial Internet, builds a production control platform, organically integrates aquatic seedlings, feed production, aquatic product breeding, fish ponds, fishing ports, personnel, transactions and other data, with the help of 5G Internet of Things, intelligent hardware, APP, core algorithms, etc., the whole process of aquaculture data collection and storage, turn "number" into "data", change "rely on the sky to eat" into visual controllability, and implement online monitoring and intelligent control. Provide strong escort and digital control for the entire industrial chain in the fishery field, realize the coordination of maintenance and management, and promote the transformation and upgrading of fisheries to informatization, intelligence and modernization.

"Guangdong West Digital Valley" to create a data center agglomeration area in west Guangdong

The Industrial Internet promotes the digital transformation of the manufacturing industry, digitally empowers intelligent aquaculture, and farmers can monitor the fish pond farming situation without leaving the village... To accelerate the digital transformation of the manufacturing industry, Zhanjiang has supported the construction of 7 application benchmark demonstration projects in small household appliances, new energy, steel, aquatic products and other industries.

In terms of information infrastructure construction, Zhanjiang adheres to the principle of "gigabit leading and 100 gigabit starting", promotes the construction of gigabit optical fiber networks and 5G networks, and accelerates the construction of a "double gigabit" network city.

In November 2021, Zhanjiang held the city's digital economy development conference, fully opened the wave of accelerating the development of digital economy, accelerated the development of Zhanjiang's digital economy, and injected new impetus and new advantages into the construction of a provincial sub-central city and accelerated the construction of an important development pole of the modern coastal economic belt. At the same time, Zhanjiang City has compiled a digital economy development plan, providing top-level planning for Promoting Industrial Digitalization and Digital Industrialization during zhanjiang's "14th Five-Year Plan" period, promoting the integration of digital technology and the real economy, establishing a digital economic development system, and accelerating the development of the digital economy.

The big data industrial park is an important carrier for gathering big data industry resources. At present, Zhanjiang is planning to build "Guangdong West Digital Valley", implementing the "Guangdong Province 5G Base Station and Data Center Overall Layout Plan (2021-2025)" and the Provincial Party Committee and provincial government "Opinions on Supporting Zhanjiang to Accelerate the Construction of Provincial Sub-central Cities to Build an Important Development Pole of the Modern Coastal Economic Belt", planning to build the "Guangdong West Digital Valley" big data industrial park, and vigorously developing the digital economy industry.

Enterprise voice Lack of digital talent The government strengthens the introduction and targeted training of talents

As the industrial Internet transitions to a digital economy, one of the thorny issues encountered is talent. It is hoped that the government will train and popularize a large number of talents on the industrial Internet and digitalization, including talents who understand data collection, application development, system maintenance, and data processing. ——Lu Xiping, general manager of Huaqiang Electric Appliances

Digital transformation requires a large number of technical compound talents who understand both business and technology. Due to the limitations of location, Zhanjiang temporarily has no digital-related industrial chain, and digital talents are very lacking. It is suggested that in view of the actual needs of local enterprises, the government should strengthen the introduction of professional digital talents, increase the employment opportunities of talents by supporting local digital industrial clusters, and provide policy support for the newly introduced professional and skilled talents in enterprises, such as skill level assessment, skill worker incentive allowances, skill competitions, settlement and housing security. At the same time, in the form of targeted and exclusive policy support, enterprises with certain potential in the field of aquatic products are encouraged to join hands with well-known universities, research institutes, industry associations, upstream and downstream supporting enterprises, etc. to establish research and development institutions to strengthen the research of industrialization of achievements. Increase support for the digital transformation of the aquatic industry, and increase policy support for the digital application of farmers. ——The relevant person in charge of Hengxing Group
