At the beginning of 2018, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued the Action Plan for the Development of the Industrial Internet (2018-2020), which opened the first "three years" of the development of the Industrial Internet. On December 22, 2020, with the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology's launch of the "Industrial Internet Innovation and Development Action Plan (2021-2023)", the development of the industrial Internet in mainland China has gone deeper and more solid, entering a "period of rapid growth" and opening a "new three years".

Since the beginning, major domestic industrial Internet platforms have competed for the competition. Among them, Geely Industrial Internet Headquarters Guangyu Mingdao, as a "rookie" in the industry, after being awarded the "National Characteristic Professional Industrial Internet Platform Pilot Demonstration" at the end of 2021 and the "Industrial Internet Platform Innovation Pilot Application Case" of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, in January 2022, it was again listed by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology as the "2021 Industrial Internet Pilot Demonstration Project", which is the most important annual selection activity of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, aiming to select a number of nationwide industry benchmarking projects and excellent solutions. It is an extremely important measure to practice the National Industrial Internet Innovation and Development Project (2021-2023).

In only one year of its establishment, Guangyu Mingdao has quickly won three national honors and become a cutting-edge force in the "new three-year" pattern of China's industrial Internet, which is attributed to the core strategy of "independent innovation" of Guangyu Mingdao.

Focus on industrial software development to accelerate the process of domestic substitution

On December 18, 2020, Geely established Guangyu Mingdao Digital Technology Co., Ltd. to enter the industrial Internet track. Guangyu Mingdao has accumulated 36 years of manufacturing experience from Geely and built Geega Industrial Internet Platform (Geega) with independent intellectual property rights in China, which is also the first industrial Internet platform originating from the automotive industry and serving the entire industry in China. The platform focuses its core competitiveness on the independent research and development of industrial software, is committed to the precipitation and digital packaging of industrial knowledge and process mechanism, forms industrialization and large-scale applications, and promotes industry transformation and upgrading and high-quality development.

From a manufacturing power to a manufacturing power, industrial software is the key to breaking the game. The "Industrial Internet Innovation and Development Action Plan (2021-2023)" clearly emphasizes "promoting the softwareization and modeling of industrial knowledge such as basic processes, control methods, and operating mechanisms, and accelerating the construction of industrial mechanism models and knowledge graphs" to improve the quality of technology supply of industrial Internet platforms. Industrial software originates from industrial needs, is used in industrial scenarios, is rooted in industry and is born out of industry, and its birth requires solid industrial accumulation and technology accumulation, precipitating industry Know-how.

This core competitiveness puts forward higher requirements for the "R & D" ability of Guangyu Mingdao, according to the person in charge of Guangyu Mingdao: "The company has been formally recruited since October 2020, as of now there are more than 700 employees, R & D personnel accounted for 85%, high-level professionals accounted for 95%, they are mostly from the world's top 500 manufacturing enterprises, well-known Internet companies at home and abroad, first-class scientific research institutions and institutions, etc., there are people who understand algorithm models, there are those who specialize in IT, and those who are proficient in process flow ..." The research and development innovation of technology is regarded as the "lifeblood" of the development of Guangyu Mingdao.

Such a "high-specification" team composition has enabled Guangyu Mingdao to apply for 110 invention patents in the field of industrial Internet in just one year, lead and participate in the formulation of 29 national and industry standards related to industrial Internet, intelligent manufacturing, digital transformation, etc., adhere to key core technology research, continuously strengthen the substitution of industrial software localization, and enhance the independent and controllable ability of industrial chain and supply chain.

In October 2021, Guangyu Mingdao was successfully awarded the "National Characteristic Professional Industrial Internet Platform Pilot Demonstration Project", which is a strong confirmation of its national recognition in the construction of basic resource libraries such as process mechanism model library and industrial knowledge graph, research and development of industrial APP, big data analysis application, and network collaboration of supply chain.

Comprehensively support Geely's digital transformation and empower the automotive industry to achieve initial results

On October 31, 2021, the "Smart Geely 2025" strategy was released, focusing on building a global strategic layout of "one network and three systems". The so-called "one network and three systems" is a "smart Geely technology ecological network", as well as the three major systems composed of "smart energy, intelligent manufacturing and intelligent services", as the support platform for Geely's overall digital transformation, the Geely industrial Internet platform built by Guangyu Mingdao fully supports Geely's intelligent manufacturing and accelerates digital transformation.

Geely has dozens of manufacturing bases around the world, and the layout of commercial satellites, general aviation, intelligent power exchange, battery research and development and other emerging technology fields, which provides a "drill field" for Guangyu Mingdao to enter the industrial Internet and make efforts to digital innovation and research and development, and a large number of front-line case projects, application scenarios and real data are the inexhaustible driving force for the rapid development of the platform.

In December 2021, the case "Digital Transformation Project of Automobile Manufacturing Plants Based on Industrial IoT Technology" declared by Guangyu Mingdao was listed in the intelligent manufacturing direction of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology's "Industrial Internet Platform Innovation Pilot Application Case", becoming a typical case of industrial empowerment.

In January 2022, the "Industrial Internet Platform + Quality Management Solution" supported by Guangyu Mingdao helped Chengdu Lynk & Co Factory to be listed in the "2021 Industrial Internet Platform Pilot Project" of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, becoming a benchmark project for the integrated development of industrial Internet in Chengdu and Chongqing, laying a solid foundation for better serving the digital transformation of regional manufacturing industries.

The successive selection of the two typical cases is the full recognition of the country's industrial software development strength of Mingdao. Aiming at the pain points of different business scenarios, Wide Area Mingdao provides industrial software based on process mechanism model to control production equipment, optimize manufacturing and management processes, and improve total factor productivity. It mainly includes stamping die, stamping intelligent scheduling, welding process, size, color difference, tightening, robot management and other APP, cloud storage management system, Jiacai cloud mining system and on-site warehouse flow integration platform.

Geely explores the essence of the industrial Internet is "from manufacturing, feeding back manufacturing". Taking the automobile manufacturing industry as the starting point, in the Geely intelligent manufacturing system, the general industrial software of the automotive industry has been precipitated, and the reusable process mechanism model has been promoted and applied to the entire automotive industry, and even the manufacturing industry, which is not only the support of Geely's digital transformation, but also the "accelerator" of the high-quality development of the industry.

Cross-industry empowerment of aluminum industry chain energy saving and carbon reduction to help achieve the goal of double carbon

From the automotive industry to cross-industry and cross-field, in January 2022, the "Geega Geely Industrial Internet Platform + Aluminum Industry Digital Energy Saving and Carbon Reduction Solution" was listed on the list of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology's "2021 Industrial Internet Pilot Demonstration Project", becoming the only project with the theme of energy conservation and carbon reduction in the aluminum industry in the direction of "Industrial Internet Platform + Green Low Carbon Solution Pilot Demonstration", creating an industry precedent.

Geely Baikuang is a 10-billion-level enterprise covering the whole life cycle of the aluminum industry of mining industry - thermal power generation - alumina - electrolytic aluminum - aluminum deep processing, and has now built an integrated circular economy industrial system of coal, electricity and aluminum, with an annual output of 1.3 million tons of aluminum. Under the background of the national "carbon peak/carbon neutrality" goal and "double limit", Geely Baikuang, as a traditional enterprise with high energy consumption, has an urgent need for digital transformation, and achieving green and low-carbon production is an important strategic goal.

Different from the common phased and small batch transformation of a certain production process, Guangyu Mingdao provides Geely Baikuang with a digital transformation solution for the whole life cycle of the aluminum industry, which is the first in China. With mature cloud computing, big data, edge computing, Internet of Things and other technologies and SaaS capabilities, from the aspects of green intensive production, dynamic energy allocation, energy consumption and carbon emission control, etc., to open up the energy data chain of production and operation links, the comprehensive management efficiency increased by 25%, the equipment efficiency increased by 19%, and the personnel efficiency increased by 23%.

At the same time, the solution has precipitated a number of effective algorithm models, including coal blending optimization, aluminum distribution optimization, trough condition analysis (federated learning), trough condition analysis (offline/online learning), anode effect prediction model, superheat analysis model, electrolyzer leakage monitoring, predictive monitoring of thermal power plant control system, etc., to help the process optimization of each scenario.

For example, in the coal blending link, due to the various differences in sulfur, moisture, calorific value and other factors of different coal types, the digital coal blending model can now be used to quickly find the coal blending method of the maximum calorific value release of limited coal, so as to reduce the consumption of thermal coal by more than 6 grams, save more than 20,000 tons of coal burning, and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by nearly 60,000 tons;

In the electrolytic aluminum link, the conditions of the electrolytic cell are diverse, the electrolytic environment temperature is extremely high, and it is too dependent on human experience. Now using statistics and machine learning related theories and methods, the aluminum electrolysis single consumption online prediction, monitoring, fault diagnosis system and aluminum electrolysis process optimization model are designed, and through efficient and accurate operation and maintenance management, the stable slot voltage is not higher than 3.96V, the current efficiency is more than 93%, and the comprehensive AC single consumption is reduced by more than 145 kWh/ton aluminum.

After a large number of real data verification, these algorithm models have the characteristics of state perception, real-time analysis, scientific decision-making, accurate execution, etc., which can be quickly copied and promoted to other high-energy-consuming industries such as non-ferrous metals, helping the industry to green intensive production and achieving the national double carbon target.

In the future, Guangyu Mingdao will adhere to independent innovation, take technological breakthroughs as the core, further accelerate the independent control of "card neck" technology in the process of factory digitalization and industrial intelligence, build an industrial innovation engine with the industrial Internet platform as the core, promote the integration and development of manufacturing and the Internet, and truly help industrial transformation and upgrading and high-quality development.
