Original title: Manufacturing industry is moving towards service industry - a new trend of digital and physical integration and development

Mobile robots (AGVs) become trusted "digital assets" on the chain, mobile R&D platforms provide mobile apps that meet user needs for automotive companies, and companies that develop and produce intelligent warehousing robots can provide technical operation services for intelligent warehousing with trusted data......

At present, some traditional manufacturing enterprises rely on digital technologies such as blockchain to try to turn to the service industry and accelerate the deep integration and development of the digital economy and the real economy. When cutting-edge technologies begin to land in the secondary industry on a large scale, the production relations and business models of traditional manufacturing enterprises begin to quietly change.

The service industry of manufacturing industry is becoming a new trend

In March this year, an AGV "Little Jack" that supports "on-chain" was born, and by installing the AntChain trusted on-chain communication module in the forklift controller, the operation data of AGV equipment is automatically recorded on the blockchain, and the source is credible and the whole process is encrypted and cannot be tampered with.

The data source is on the chain, so that AGV has become a trusted "digital asset" from an "iron lump" running in a warehouse. This is a new attempt to integrate the development of digital and physical.

It is understood that Suzhou AGV Robot Co., Ltd. and AntChain are jointly promoting the application of blockchain, Internet of Things and other technologies in the field of unmanned forklifts, and building a new business ecology based on trusted equipment data.

Based on trusted data, AGV has formed a device-centric industrial collaboration network. According to reports, financial leasing or financial leasing institutions can provide supporting financial leasing services based on on-chain equipment data, and end users or operators can optimize equipment operation efficiency, or establish a time-sharing leasing pricing model based on equipment workload. In addition, it can also provide data support for the subsequent valuation and second-hand transactions of equipment.

"After focusing on the digitalization and intelligence of the product itself, the company has taken an important step in the trusted interconnection of the industry. Si Xiufen, chairman of AGV, said that blockchain technology solves the problem of data transparency and mutual trust, which greatly reduces the cost of trust between multiple participants.

At present, the deep integration of the service industry and the manufacturing industry is becoming the general trend.

The producer service industry has strong professionalism and high innovation activity, and at the same time, it has a high degree of industrial integration and a significant role in industrial driving. The development of the producer service industry is accelerating the extension of the real economy to the middle and high end of the value chain, and promoting the gradual transformation of the mainland's industries from manufacturing to production and service.

Some people in the industry said that by promoting the integrated development of manufacturing and service industries, using the high efficiency of the manufacturing industry to drive the production efficiency of the service industry, and at the same time improving the manufacturing industry with the advantages of service specialization, it will effectively drive the improvement of the entire economic efficiency, so as to provide a realistic foundation for the road of high-quality development.

Provide new development opportunities for manufacturing enterprises

In recent years, the development momentum of the mainland automobile industry has been strong, and it has become an important force to promote the economic and social development of the mainland. But at the same time, competition between companies has also followed.

Automobile manufacturing input costs are high, output and utilization rate is low, car companies want to obtain new profit growth, in addition to automobile manufacturing, but also to provide users with better services, to meet personalized needs, so as to form an ecology, form a community, and even form a fan economy.

In order to quickly respond to the needs of car owners, mobile apps have become a bridge between car companies and car owners. However, how to design and develop mobile apps that meet the needs of users is a difficult problem for many car companies.

Ant mPaaS, a mobile R&D platform that has been developed for nearly 10 years, is a super APP engine loaded with a variety of intelligent technologies, which can quickly provide mobile APP design according to the business scenarios of different enterprises. With the support of mPaaS platforms, many car companies can quickly and accurately optimize intelligent services for users.

From car selection, car purchase, car use, after-sales, and peripherals, the mobile APP developed and designed for car companies through the mPaaS platform runs through the entire life cycle of car sales and use, so as to better serve car owners and enhance the brand value of car companies.

The intervention of emerging technologies continues to promote the deep integration of manufacturing and service industries, bringing more development opportunities to manufacturing enterprises.

Shenzhen Jiecheng Nickel and Cobalt New Energy Technology Co., Ltd. is a new energy battery recycling manufacturing enterprise, the company's past business is mainly to recycle two-wheeled, four-wheeled and other new energy vehicle retired batteries, and reduce the dimension of the treatment into life batteries, or into powder for recycling. With the blessing of blockchain technology, the company has explored new development space.

After the retired batteries recycled by the enterprise are "put on the chain" and the use data before their retirement is opened, the whole life cycle data such as the health degree of the battery and the number of recycling times can be traced back and cannot be tampered with, which can effectively improve the transparency and standardization of the recycling pricing evaluation of the enterprise, reduce the cost of recycling, improve the quality and efficiency of recyclable, and at the same time extend the proportion and number of times that the retired battery can be used in cascades.

Bring new value to the industrial chain

The manufacturing industry is moving towards the service industry, which not only stimulates the development potential of enterprises, but also promotes the quiet transformation of the industrial chain of some industries.

With the development of the digital economy, the function of warehouses has changed radically. The intelligent warehousing industry in mainland China came into being in the wave of digitalization, and is deeply integrated with new technologies such as blockchain, artificial intelligence, big data, cloud computing, and the Internet of Things, and the degree of automation, informatization, and intelligence is constantly improving.

In April this year, the company cooperated with AntChain, through AntChain's digital collaboration platform based on blockchain and IoT technology, the data flow of warehousing equipment, business order flow, project capital flow, etc. can be synchronously "on-chain", so that multiple upstream and downstream participants can see the "same account".

With credible data, Whale Warehouse can lease warehouses and equipment at a lower cost from industrial capital to achieve asset-light operation. At the same time, the "on-chain" of enterprise data makes the blockchain a notarization platform, and the assets become more credible, thereby empowering the entire industrial chain with new value.

Li Linzi, the founder of Whale Warehouse, said that data empowerment has shifted from corporate credit to asset credit, expanding the credit of technology assets and enabling equipment to be put on the market more quickly. At the same time, we should empower innovative enterprises with credit, let innovative enterprises lead the development of the industry, and make the upgrading of the entire industry faster and more extreme.

"Through blockchain-based data integration and information reorganization, we can effectively resolve the problem of high industrial fragmentation, accelerate the upgrading and popularization of industrial intelligence, and do better in the future of the entire trusted industrial chain collaboration. Li Linzi introduced that in 2024, the operation scale of the whale warehouse is expected to increase by 200%, which can help retailers three times that of the current one to enjoy more convenient warehousing services.

"We try to use technology to solve the separation of ownership and management rights of physical assets, reduce the transaction costs of all parties involved, and create more trading opportunities. Lou Jianxun, vice president of Ant Group's digital technology business group, said that Ant Digital has always adhered to the principle of helping reality with data, and hopes to help the value synergy between the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain through continuous investment and innovation in cutting-edge technology research and development, and bring incremental business value to the industry.
