Research and Application on Industrial Internet Ecosystem Model

Abstract

Industrial Internet can drive the high-quality development of industries, and accelerating the development of industrial Internet is conducive to the transformation and upgrading of China’s manufacturing industry and to the improvement of its international competitiveness. To build an industrial Internet model that is universally adapted to large, medium, small, and micro enterprises, this study analyzes the existing industrial Internet models in China and abroad, and proposes an industrial Internet ecosystem model (IIEM) composed of three dimensions and six layers. Additionally, the operation mechanism of IIEM is presented in terms of entity, resource, digital intelligence, and dynamic value flows. Digital intelligence flow exhibits the flow value of data—a new production factor—at different levels and dimensions of IIEM, which explains the basic logic for improving the intelligent level of enterprise production systems and delivered products and expounds on the basic paths of digital transformation. IIEM emphasizes industrial attributes. Furthermore, the effectiveness of IIEM in assisting enterprises to understand the evolution and realization paths of industrial Internet and to integrate into the industrial Internet platform is verified through case study.
