"5G signals have been fully accessed, and more than 300 intelligent robots of 11 kinds are pipelined. With 80 percent of the products produced by ourselves, the product defect rate has been reduced by more than 80 percent, and the product quality has been qualitatively improved," Zhou Shifeng, deputy general manager of Qingdao Shuangxing Co., Ltd., said.

The industrial Internet is not a simple replacement of machines, equipment connections and deal making, but the integration of equipment, production lines, factories, suppliers, industries and user links through the industrial Internet platform, which is multilateral, open and interactive.

The responsible person also noted that the industrial Internet serves as an important carrier of production and manufacturing reform and accurate individual service; it is the inevitable choice to improve quality, increase efficiency and achieve high-quality development.
