Understanding Industrial Internet and IoT Differences

Many people confuse and cannot articulate the differences because they do not understand the three spheres involved: R&D, Production, and Equipment. Discussing each sphere one by one makes things clearer.

(1) R&D

1. PLM (Recommended focus for Chinese enterprise software vendors in this field)

1. R&D project engineering management (projects, plans, tasks, changes, cost accounting)

2. PDM, BOM, version management

2. Drawings (Recommended for strategic cooperation)

1. Electronic drawings, product library/component library, high-precision electronic drawing cloud storage

2. Drawing design tools: cloud-based lightweight CAD, 3D design and display CAD

3. Experience (Recommended for ecosystem cooperation)

1. VRAR, simulation rendering display

2. CAE simulation testing, finite element analysis

3. 3D printing

(2) Manufacturing

1. Manufacturing Operations Management (Recommended focus for Chinese enterprise software vendors in this field)

1. C2M/flexible manufacturing/industrial internet operations management:

1.1. Integrated information linkage of production, supply, and sales industry chain 1.2. Regional cluster collaborative production scheduling

2. Single factory/workshop operations management: MRPII

2. Manufacturing Execution Management (Recommended for ecosystem cooperation)

1. Manufacturing execution management: MES, production worker scheduling & production worker performance

2. Manufacturing control execution: CAM, CAPP & process routing

3. Intelligent manufacturing management: AI quality inspection

(3) Equipment

1. SCADA/IOT/Industrial Internet of Things (Recommended focus for Chinese enterprise software vendors in this field)

1. By equipment type: smart consumer products, smart production machine tools, engineering machinery, smart connected vehicles, high-speed rail/aircraft/ships

2. By scenario: smart pipeline networks, smart transportation networks, smart retail stores, smart warehouses, smart production workshops

3. By connectivity development stage: equipment intelligence, equipment operation data online, equipment interconnection interaction, equipment intelligent adaptive interconnection interaction

2. Intelligent Devices (Recommended for strategic cooperation)

1. Chips

2. Smart device OS, PLC, CPS

3. Sensors

4. CNC gateways, communication gateways
