Why can data intelligence become the key technology in the process of digital transformation of manufacturing enterprises today?

First of all, there are two English words about "digitalization", which look very similar, but their connotations are quite different. One is digitization, that is, converting analog information into digital information (for example, automatically identifying manually filled documents and converting them into digital information); The other is digitalization, which means integrating digital technology into enterprises, deepening the application of various business software and emerging technologies such as the Internet of Things, realizing data-driven decision analysis and completely changing the business processes of enterprises.

Digital transformation is actually the process of enterprise digitalization. The digital transformation of personal life service industry is very rapid. Nowadays, almost all kinds of life services, such as booking air tickets, buying train tickets, renting cars, booking hotels, shopping and ordering food, can be completed online by digital means, and various online service platforms are highly competitive.

For the manufacturing industry, industries facing individual consumers, such as household appliances, household appliances, mobile phones, automobiles and other industries, are under great pressure of digital transformation and the transformation is relatively rapid; However, industries facing corporate customers, such as equipment manufacturing, energy, spare parts, raw materials and other industries, have a relatively slow pace of digital transformation. No matter what type or industry it belongs to, every enterprise should think, establish and promote the digital transformation strategy. The deepening application of digital technology will have a far-reaching impact on the business model, business operation, decision-making model, organizational form and corporate culture of enterprises.

02. What is the value of digital transformation of manufacturing industry?

With the increasing popularity of the Internet, the rapid development of computing and storage capabilities, the wide application of Internet of Things and sensor technology, and the continuous evolution of industrial software, data collection, storage, transmission, presentation, analysis and optimization have already had a good technical foundation. In this context, the wave of digital transformation of manufacturing industry is unstoppable.

Manufacturing enterprises that are good at deeply applying digital technology will win a significant competitive advantage. For example, timely insight into business data such as procurement, production, inventory, capital, quality, energy consumption and equipment status can help enterprises not only know what they know, but also know why they know all kinds of complicated problems in operation management; Through the collection and analysis of employees' work performance, the potential of employees can be further stimulated; Personalized customization according to customer needs can improve customer satisfaction; Through the collection and analysis of marketing data, we can truly know ourselves in the market and serve customers better;

Excellent manufacturing enterprises have also been committed to the digital transformation of products themselves, realizing data acquisition, state awareness and remote control, improving the added value of products and increasing service income. At the same time, only by promoting digital transformation can manufacturing enterprises meet the increasingly complex compliance requirements, especially for people's livelihood industries such as medicine and food, and export-oriented enterprises, the traceability of the whole production process must be realized through digital transformation.
