Industrial Internet is about to rise, how should pharmaceutical industry deal with it?

1 the State Council issued the article in November 27, 2017, the State Council's guidance on deepening the Internet plus advanced manufacturing industry's development of industrial Internet (hereinafter referred to as the "guiding opinions") In fact, as early as a month ago, on October 30, the State Council had deliberated and adopted the guidance, and held a regular briefing on State Council policy on November 3 According to the guidance, the industrial Internet, as the product of the deep integration of the new generation of information technology and manufacturing industry, has a comprehensive, deep and revolutionary impact on the future industrial development It is of great significance to support the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries The guiding opinions comprehensively and systematically expounds the guiding ideology, basic principles, development objectives and main tasks of the development of industrial Internet in China The overall goal of the guiding opinions is to build an industrial Internet ecosystem that is compatible with China's economic and social development, and further put forward the three-step goal of 2025, 2035 and the middle of this century The main task is to build three systems of network, platform and security, promote the integrated innovation of large enterprises and the application and popularization of small and medium-sized enterprises There are 7 tasks of building industry, ecology and internationalization 2 What is industrial Internet? On November 26, 2012, General Electric (GE for short) released a white paper "industrial Internet: breaking the boundary between intelligence and machine", proposing the concept of industrial Internet Ge also began to transform from a traditional enterprise to a digital industrial enterprise Industrial Internet can be regarded as the circulation and interaction of data, welcome, software and intelligence From only getting data in equipment and network, using big data analysis tools for storage, analysis and visualization, to the final information can be used by decision makers in real time or directly realize intelligent decision-making when necessary As early as 2009, Li Bohu, academician of Chinese Academy of engineering, put forward the concept of "cloud manufacturing", which truly reflected the Internet characteristics of "industrial Internet" According to Li Bohu, in the cloud manufacturing application mode, the cooperation and supporting relationship of enterprises in the manufacturing process is "cooperation at any time due to needs", and matching enterprises suitable for the current task are found through the Internet After the task is completed, the supporting relationship is released at any time While the concept of industrial Internet was put forward, Germany, a powerful manufacturing country, also put forward a similar concept of industry 4.0 Industry 4.0 will build a new intelligent industrial world with a sense of awareness, which can directly generate a relevant solution product that fully meets customers' needs by analyzing various big data Compared with industrial Internet, industrial 4.0 is a concept of automation in partial production process Industrial Internet is more like an ecosystem than just technology and management, so it is more conducive to give full play to the advantages of China's socialist system 3 The current situation of the development of industrial Internet platform, the global industrial Internet is in the critical period of undetermined industrial pattern and the window period of large-scale expansion, which is the period of exerting China's institutional and market advantages to create a new situation for the development of China's industrial Internet For this reason, the guiding opinions put forward specific tasks such as building three systems of network, platform and security The author believes that the platform in the three systems is the main function of the industrial Internet The industrial Internet platform is the key carrier of massive heterogeneous data aggregation and modeling calculation, industrial experience knowledge software and modularization, all kinds of innovative application development and ecological construction Its purpose is to continuously optimize the efficiency of resource allocation, such as R & D design, production and manufacturing, operation management, etc., and to realize new modes and new formats, such as collaborative design and manufacturing, personalized customization, service-oriented manufacturing, industrial chain finance, equipment online leasing, etc China's industrial Internet started at the same time as developed countries The "three-step" target plan formulated in the guiding opinions will initially form a platform system with different emphasis and coordinated development between 2018 and 2020, build about 10 cross industry and cross domain platforms, and cultivate 300000 industrial apps for specific industries and scenarios; by 2025, the industrial Internet logo analysis system will continue to be improved and promoted on a large scale, forming 3-5 international standards By 2035, it will be built into the international leading industrial Internet network infrastructure and platform, forming the international advanced technology and industrial system At present, the industrial Internet platform presents the oligopoly of IAAs (infrastructure as a service), PAAS (platform as a service) expands universality on the basis of specialty, and SaaS (software as a service) focuses on the development trend of specialty in depth IAAs is a platform built by many large companies that started in the era of consumer Internet and mobile Internet, such as Alibaba cloud, Tencent cloud, baidu cloud, etc., with relatively high development maturity and rapid iteration of IT technology innovation PAAS has the title of "industrial Internet platform operating system" PAAS needs to have deep technology accumulation in specific industrial fields, and needs to transform industry technology into general manufacturing technology rules PAAS is the enabling platform of SaaS The maturity and capability improvement of SaaS can promote the prosperity and development of SaaS As the core of the three systems, the business model of SaaS is not clear, and the market system needs to be established For example, the application cost of GE's predix platform is too high, and the business prospect is not clear; the problem of mindsphere's openness has not been solved; the main service market profit of rootlink is high The construction of PAAS platform is not easy A good PAAS platform needs a variety of technical capabilities such as Internet of things, big data, artificial intelligence, etc 4 Industrial Internet and "two modernizations" of pharmaceutical industry 4.1 the necessity of pharmaceutical industry + industrial Internet as a special commodity, its particularity lies in strict quality standards, strict process specifications, full cycle policy supervision, etc Industrial Internet, with its ability of massive big data analysis and industrial experience knowledge software and modularization, strictly implements GMP management specifications, process procedures, standard operation specifications and other standards by digital computer system, standardizes, constrains or replaces personal behaviors, which can ensure the authenticity, integrity, specification and traceability of data 4.2 when the concept of "Internet plus" was first put forward in the pharmaceutical industry of China, the concept of "Internet plus" was first put forward Many people still understood the impact on the pharmaceutical industry according to the traditional consumption Internet thinking The Internet plus only affected the logistics distribution and terminal marketing, and in essence, the impact would be comprehensive, profound and revolutionary "Two." The IOT of digital automation equipment is the basis for the pharmaceutical industry to move towards the industrial Internet However, the current situation of China's pharmaceutical industry is complicated Due to the particularity of the industry, there are many problems in Chinese pharmaceutical enterprises, such as small scale, large number of enterprises, large number of products, significant lack of technical level and R & D capability, low management efficiency, weak profitability and so on Due to the relatively small output and many varieties of pharmaceutical and chemical industry, many theories and methods of automation technology applied in the field of petrochemical industry cannot be applied In addition, due to the weak profitability of enterprises and the low cost of labor force in China, enterprises prefer to use small-scale, batch, artificial and intermittent production methods, which are only used in local units and auxiliary systems Dynamic Compared with API, the automation degree of preparation production equipment is higher, but most of the equipment does not have the function of network communication, and also lacks the appropriate online monitoring means, which basically forms a single automation island 5 As a product of deep integration of information technology and manufacturing industry, industrial Internet will become an important means to promote the industrial revolution in the new era, and pharmaceutical industry is no exception With the arrival of the aging society and the significant reduction of the working age population, the low automation level, low R & D investment, low efficiency management and intermittent production mode that used to rely on a large number of labor input will be gradually marginalized The author believes that in order to take the initiative in the era of industrial Internet, the pharmaceutical industry needs to complete the "two modernizations" homework as soon as possible, fundamentally change the thinking that is not suitable for the era of industrial Internet, and accurately understand the layout of national industrial planning, so as to be invincible.
