What are the similarities and differences between informatization, digitalization, intelligence and intelligence?

Informatization, digitalization, and intelligence are not easy for many people to distinguish clearly.

First of all, let’s briefly talk about their respective positioning.

1. Informatization means converting the formed relevant information of the enterprise through various recorded information resources. Involving the results and management of business in each link, it is essentially the information storage and control of business result data, which is used to provide people at all levels with understanding of "what is the current situation of the business", "where is the process progressing", etc. Dynamic business information. Informatization focuses on the construction and management of business information.

2. Digitization refers to converting analog data into binary codes marked with 0 and 1, so that the computer can read the data. In fact, it is a transformation process based on actual visual objects. Digitalization focuses more on the formation and use of object resources in the product field.

Here, I would like to mention digitization separately. Today, data represents a description of something, and data can be recorded, analyzed and reorganized. These transformations are called "datafication" - datafication refers to the process of converting problems into a quantitative form that can be tabulated and analyzed. The most intuitive The most important thing is the various forms and reports of the enterprise. Dataization focuses on results, organizing digital information in an orderly and structured manner to facilitate query backtracking, intelligent analysis, and solving related decision-making problems.

3. Intelligence is to process tedious work digitally, or directly call or guide the work based on data, minimizing the energy and understanding required by people. It has the characteristics or functions of "anthropomorphic intelligence", such as self-adaptation, self-correction, self-coordination, etc. The focus of intelligence lies on the application of work processes.

Next, let’s sort out the relationships between these categories

1. Informatization = business dataization

To give an obvious example, such as Everyone found that the implementation of enterprise ERP is nothing more than letting the system record what you have done. As some people have complained, ERP is nothing more than moving manual processes into the system.

This is indeed the case. This process is called "business digitization", which uses data to record the entire business process. The most typical ones are various order data and financial vouchers.

2. Digitalization = businessization of data

Personally, what I think of as “digitalization” is based on the analysis of a large amount of operational data, mathematical modeling of the company’s operational logic, and optimization, in turn. Then guide the daily operation of the enterprise. The popular language nowadays is "machine learning". The system repeatedly learns your data and behavior patterns, and finally becomes more professional than you and guides you in turn.

To put it bluntly, informatization without digitalization is relatively "heavy", as any company that has implemented ERP can understand. With digitalization, the burden of informatization is reduced, efficiency is improved, and operational difficulty is reduced.

3. Intelligent informatization - the ultimate stage of digitalization.

The core problem solved at this stage is the relationship between humans and machines: the information is complete enough and semantic intelligence can interact freely between humans and machines, turning into a "human being with me in you and you in me." -Integrated world. The semantic gap between humans and machines is gradually being filled, and there is gradually no difference or the inability to distinguish differences. Digitization is the solid foundation for all informatization, dataization, and intelligence.

Informatization + digitization + digitization = intelligence

Intelligence is the ultimate combination of informatization, digitization, and digitization The goal is also the inevitable trend of development.

I am very happy to answer your question. The following are some of my own understandings and opinions. I hope it can help you, and I hope you like my answer.

Informatization refers to the realization of real-world things in the virtual world. For example, supermarket informatization refers to transforming supermarkets in physical stores into online e-commerce platforms to achieve the purpose of selling products through the Internet. Enterprise management informatization refers to the process of converting many offline approval signatures into online approval signatures. The purpose of informatization is to improve efficiency and save costs through low technology.

Digitalization is realized on the basis of informatization. Over time, large amounts of data are stored in our information systems. Through data mining and analysis, the purpose of lean management can be achieved. From a pat on the back to making decisions based on data. For example, Taobao store owners, through the analysis of sales history, know what styles and colors, what kind of clothes prices, and what kind of users are more suitable, so that they can launch corresponding products to increase sales, increase profits, and save costs.

Intelligence is a further extension of digitalization. It refers to our system or hardware that has some kind of intelligence that intelligently recognizes human needs. For example, our e-commerce platform can not only provide the products we want, but also analyze the characteristics of users and provide products that may be of interest to the users. Many smart speakers and smart TVs can also recognize user commands.

Of course, the intelligence of a machine or system is not generated out of thin air, but is trained by learning big data. In this sense, there is no intelligence without digitalization.

Wisdom is the ultimate goal of wisdom. My understanding is that this does not mean that a specific system or a specific device has intelligence, but that there is some kind of intelligence from a system-wide perspective. For example, we often hear about the concept of smart cities. In the urban ecosystem, people, equipment, and networks become a smart overall ecosystem.

Of course, all of this is based on data. We say data is the new oil, and humans and machines can gain unprecedented insights in data mining and analysis. As a resource, data also plays an increasingly important role. For example, our company does not own cars, but it is now the largest public travel solutions provider in the country. Its core asset is data. Accurately match driver and client data to help people travel efficiently. For example, Alibaba’s Cainiao network does not have a logistics company that provides express delivery services. However, he can achieve efficient and low-cost logistics management by analyzing the express delivery data of the managed logistics company.

Today, more and more enterprises regard data management as the core asset of the enterprise.

In the future, data will play an increasingly important role. People will build a bright future of informatization, digitalization, intelligence, and intelligence.

Thank you for reading, I hope you like it, welcome to discuss together!

Intelligent - You want to check Zhang San's KPI'', enter Zhang San, and it turns out that he has been automatically expelled due to failure. . .

Informatization refers to realizing things in the real world in the virtual world. For example, the informatization of supermarkets refers to turning physical supermarkets into online e-commerce platforms to achieve the purpose of selling products through the Internet. The informatization of enterprise management refers to turning many offline approval and signature processes into online processes. The purpose of informatization is to improve efficiency and save costs through low technology.

Digitalization is completed on the basis of informatization. Over time, a large amount of data is stored in our information systems. Through the mining and analysis of these data, we can achieve the purpose of lean management. From the previous decision-making based on brainstorming to decision-making based on data. For example, Taobao store owners, through the analysis of historical sales, will know which styles, colors, and prices of clothes are more suitable for what kind of users, so that they can launch corresponding products in a targeted manner to increase sales, increase profits, and save money. cost purposes.

Intelligence is a further extension of digitalization, which means that our systems or hardware have some kind of intelligence and can intelligently identify human needs. For example, our e-commerce platform can now not only provide the products we want, but also analyze the characteristics of users and provide targeted products that users may be interested in. Many smart speakers and smart TVs can also recognize user commands. Of course, the intelligence of a machine or system does not come out of thin air, but is trained through big data learning. In this sense, there is no intelligence without digitalization.

Intelligence is the ultimate goal of intelligence. My understanding is that it does not mean that a specific system or specific device has intelligence, but that the entire system has some kind of intelligence. For example, we often hear the concept of smart city. In the city ecosystem, people, equipment, and networks become an overall smart ecosystem.

Of course, the basis of all this is data. We say that data is the new oil. By mining and analyzing data, humans and machines can gain unprecedented insights. As a resource, data also plays an increasingly important role. For example, our Didi company does not own a single car, but it is now the largest public travel solutions provider in the country, and its core asset is data. Help people travel efficiently by mastering the data of the driver and client to achieve precise matching. For another example, Alibaba’s Cainiao Network does not have a logistics company that transports express packages. However, he can achieve efficient and low-cost logistics management by analyzing the express data of the logistics companies he manages.

Nowadays, more and more enterprises have managed data as a core asset of the enterprise.

In the future, data will play an increasingly important role as people build an informatized, digital, intelligent and smart future.

These are the four stages of human brain liberation. Informatization means that information becomes a resource, which is the later stage of industrialization. The role of information in production and exchange began to be greater than that of capital, and its tools include computers. Digitization means that all areas of society are mathematically networked. Its tool is the mobile phone. Of course, mobile phones cannot be separated from computers, computers cannot be separated from machines, and machines cannot be separated from land, food and self-damaging resources.

The representative of digital civilization is intelligent machines managing production and material life. It provides an assistant tool for people's left-brain thinking. Smart society is more advanced. That is, the right brain can also develop in cooperation with the left brain. That is to say, people's truth-seeking logical thinking and associative abstract thinking are highly interactive, and they understand nature and use natural laws to enter a more free state. Wise people are like the activities of gods in Chinese culture. Digital civilization is now beginning, but the power of capital is still greater than the power of information and intelligence. In other words, the idea of ??expropriation is still greater than the idea of ??labor creating a new world. This is the reality of struggle in the 21st century. Socialism is still in its growth stage.

If informatization is the thinking mode of the physical world, then digitalization is the realization of a wider and broader digital world through digital tools such as the mobile Internet, Internet of Things, blockchain, and AR.

First of all, it needs to be clear that digitalization does not mean overthrowing the enterprise’s previous informatization system, but requires integrating and optimizing the previous enterprise informatization system. On the basis of integration and optimization, management and operation levels must be improved. Use new technological means to enhance new technical capabilities of enterprises to support enterprises in adapting to new requirements brought about by digital transformation changes.

Digitalization is derived from digitization, which is to achieve business guidance by recording, analyzing, and reorganizing data. This is "datafication". The most intuitive thing about digitization is the various statements and reports of the enterprise. Datafication is to organize digital information into categories and provide strong data support for decision-making through intelligent analysis, multi-dimensional analysis, and query backtracking.

By using the iterative nature of IT technology to try and make mistakes, it can be said that the best path can be found slowly. Other reform methods and tools simply cannot achieve the innate advantages of IT technology (high quality and Low cost), which can not only ensure fast time, but also reorganize enterprise management elements (processes and data). Hightopo uses digitalization to drive business change.

With the advancement of Industry 4.0 transformation, we are gradually moving towards an era of using information technology to promote industrial transformation, which is the era of intelligence. With the trend of the times, the industrial Internet and 5G network have gradually opened the curtain. Data is no longer a pure source of data information. Data can be combined with some visual interfaces as a carrier to feedback changes in the world in real time.

The embodiment of the era national symbol economic field, the formation of informatization, capitalization, digitalization, and intelligent layer symbol cycle is the synthesis of the national era economy. Informatization capitalization is the main body of the industrial economy, capitalization digitization is the main body of the commercial economy, digital intelligence is the main body of the ecological economy, and intelligent informatization is the main body of the international economy. Wang Li Economist.

In early 2007, a well-known expert in the domestic automation field reported to this magazine that when communicating with friends in the industry, he often encountered questions about "digitization", "automation", "informatization" and "intelligence". "Conceptual issues and remarks such as "Informatization means automation, and digitalization can represent intelligence." He pointed out: In the field of automation disciplines in my country, terminology research is insufficient! Indeed, unclear definitions of concepts and unclear meanings are not conducive to the healthy, orderly and standardized development of the industry. This issue of this journal has selected an article that specifically discusses the concepts of "digitization", "automation", "informatization" and "intelligence" and explores the differences and connections between the four, hoping to arouse the interest of readers and relevant experts. , and jointly promote the progress of research on industry noun standards.

My understanding of informatization is to use digital technology (binary numbers that can be recognized by computers or terminals, etc.) to process various information in human work and life, thereby making work and life smarter and smarter. Intelligence includes smart cities, smart education, smart fire protection, smart transportation, smart government affairs, smart homes, and smart tourism. Intelligence includes smart homes, smart digital, smart devices, smart factories, and smart terminals. Wisdom is reflected in the interaction being more convenient and humane, and intelligence is reflected in being more automatic and convenient.
