The scale of core industries exceeded 1.5 trillion yuan, driving economic growth of nearly 3.5 trillion yuan, and applications expanded to 49 major categories of the national economy... The latest data released by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology shows that the scale of China's industrial Internet industry continues to grow, and the role of enabling transformation and upgrading continues to emerge. Industry analysis believes that under the wave of AI, the development of industrial AI is the core direction of the evolution of industrial Internet. The reporter learned that in the next step, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will further promote the collaborative empowerment of industrial Internet and artificial intelligence, build high-quality industrial data sets, accelerate the creation of professional models in the industrial field, and promote the new industrialization of artificial intelligence empowerment based on the industrial Internet platform. At present, China's industrial Internet infrastructure construction continues to upgrade, accelerating the transformation and upgrading of the enabling industry. The latest data shows that the industrial Internet has expanded to 49 major categories of the national economy, achieved full coverage of 41 major industrial categories, exceeded 650 billion sign resolution registrations, and connected more than 100 million sets of industrial equipment, providing important support for the development of new quality productivity and the construction of a modern industrial system. "Individualized customization, platform based design, intelligent production, incubation and extension and other new models of the industrial Internet are widely popularized, which strongly promote the quality improvement, cost reduction, efficiency increase and innovation of enterprises. ”Xie Shaofeng, chief engineer of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said at the 2025 Industrial Internet Conference held recently. The scale of industrial Internet industry has also continued to grow. Data shows that the scale of industrial Internet core industry exceeds 1.5 trillion yuan, driving economic growth of nearly 3.5 trillion yuan. "With the gradual improvement of the platform, network, logo and other systems, the industrial Internet has fostered a number of representative emerging industries while promoting the transformation of traditional industries," said Yu Xiaohui, president of the China Academy of Information and Communications. In particular, the integration of artificial intelligence and industrial Internet has become a new trend. At present, humanoid robots are entering the factory for "practical training", AI big models help enterprises shorten the new product development cycle, enterprises use big data to predict market "hot products", artificial intelligence is accelerating its landing, and the "new" trend is surging on the production line. "In the wave of AI represented by big models and generative AI technology, the development of industrial AI is the core direction of the evolution of industrial Internet. At the same time, the industrial Internet also provides data resources precipitation for the development of AI, creating conditions for scenario creation and model research and development. The industrial Internet is a key carrier for the landing of AI. ”Yu Xiaohui believes. Many companies are also actively expanding their layout and exploring. Zhang Qiliang, General Manager of XCMG Hanyun Technology Co., Ltd., introduced that at the beginning of this year, XCMG Hanyun built a collaborative architecture of "big model+professional model" to create a multimodal data analysis intelligent agent. This technology can handle complex problems such as equipment failure prediction and process optimization, and has achieved large-scale applications in industries such as engineering machinery, automobile manufacturing, and transportation infrastructure. Pang Songtao, vice chairman and general manager of Inspur Yunzhou Industrial Internet, said that AI has become a global focus area. With the breakthrough of key technologies, the characteristics of AI industrialization, agent ecology and industrial intelligence deepening have emerged. Faced with the needs of digital transformation of enterprises, it is necessary to fully integrate artificial intelligence and industrial Internet, and integrate data, software, talent and other resources to provide long-term and sustainable systematic services for enterprises. Focusing on key industries such as steel, chemical, and energy, Inspur Cloud has created over 200 platform solutions with more than 290000 active enterprise users. The reporter learned that in the next step, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will make good use of AI, the "key variable", to promote the collaborative empowerment and integrated development of industrial Internet and AI. Xie Shaofeng stated that we need to strengthen the foundation of interconnectivity, build high-quality industrial datasets, and create a batch of "high-value, high-purity, and highly available" industrial corpora and multimodal datasets in key industries. Promote the construction of professional large-scale models in the industrial field and encourage the open source and sharing of basic large-scale models in the industrial sector. Accelerate the layout of intelligent computing power construction and build a collaborative intelligent computing power network of "cloud edge end". Relying on the industrial Internet platform, we will vigorously promote the new industrialization of AI enabling, accelerate the gathering of industrial data, models, knowledge, and algorithms on the industrial Internet platform, and improve the level of digital, networked, and intelligent manufacturing. Looking ahead to the future, Yu Xiaohui believes that China has a complete industrial system, rich application scenarios, and massive data resources, which can effectively feed back the training of large models and promote their deeper intelligent capabilities in the physical world. In addition, "embodied intelligence" will also become a key development direction, especially in equipment manufacturing, robotics and the future industrial Internet, to promote the manufacturing industry to a higher level of intelligence and digitalization.
