Internet of Things: the Rising star industry

Recently, there are media reports, the Ministry of Industry will soon be issued the State Council on the promotion of the development of China's things Networking Industry Guidance Advice (hereinafter referred to as "opinion"), speed up the layout and development of the Internet of things. The opinion notes that "Twelve-Five" during the period, we strive to realize the leap-forward development in the aspect of IoT recognition, data processing and information service, and lead the demonstration application in the fields of industry, agriculture, environmental protection, transportation, electric power, public safety, logistics, safe production, medical and health, etc. It is clear that the content of this opinion is more refined and more operational than the provisions of previous legislation.

The reporter understands, the thing networking mainly includes the sensor, the system integration and the communication network three big subdivision professions, are the intelligent age important constituent part, is widely used in the railroad, the electricity, the transportation, the security, the energy, the finance and so on various fields. According to Forrester's prediction, the industry value of the Internet of things is 30 times times larger than the web, which will form the next trillion-dollar information industry group. Sadie Consultants predicted that by 2015, the overall market size of the domestic internet of things will reach 750 billion yuan, to Twelve-Five, the annual composite growth rate will exceed 30%, the relevant industry chain leading stocks will fully benefit.

The technology of IoT is ripe

With the development of modern information technology, nanotechnology, sensing technology and intelligent technology, the key technologies such as data acquisition, transmission and processing have made great progress.

Key Technology Main Content

Sensor technology: Converts physical, chemical, and biomass into digital signals for processing in the physical world, thus providing an initial source of information for the perceptual physical world.

Recognition technology: The realization of object identification and location information in the Internet of Things is mainly based on RFID technology.

Embedded system technology: According to the network of things to the equipment function, performance, reliability, cost, volume and other comprehensive requirements, the development of cutting embedded computer technology, is the realization of perceptual layer objects, communications and information processing equipment, an important basis for intelligence.

Network communication technology: mainly realizes the bidirectional transmission, the route and the control of the special Network data information and the control information.

The cloud computing network uses billions of sensors, which have a huge amount of data to classify and get useful information from cloud computing.

In recent years, the rise of "intelligent earth" is essentially a deep application of the Internet of things, that is, through sensors embedded in the grid, railways, highways, bridges, buildings, water supply, oil and gas and other work, life is closely related to the application of objects, and then through the supercomputer and cloud computing to integrate it to achieve social and physical world integration. Then, under President Obama's initiative, the "Wisdom of the Earth" rose to become one of America's national strategies.

Will usher in the Golden Age

Reporter learned that the current domestic internet industry has initially formed the Bohai Sea, Yangtze River Delta, the Pearl River delta three industrial clusters. Among them, the industrial scale of the Yangtze River Delta is ranked as the first of the four regions, which locates in the high-end link of the industrial chain, starts with two core products and technology of the hardware and software of the Internet, implements the standard and patent strategy, and is the core area of the national IoT industry. The key supporting technology research and development in the Bohai Rim region is strong, and has basically formed a comparatively perfect architecture for the development of IoT industry. The Pearl River Delta Internet industry mainly focuses on key technological breakthroughs and innovative capacity building in the field of IoT equipment manufacturing, software and system integration, network operation services, and application demonstration fields.

Thanks to the State and government at all levels of concern and support, the 2013 China's overall market size of the Internet is expected to reach nearly 500 billion yuan, is 2010 193.3 billion Yuan 2.59 times times, and with the use of Internet demonstration applications, the market will maintain a sustained and rapid growth. At present, not only the economically developed eastern cities, and even some Midwestern cities have also included the Internet of things in the pillar industry. Sadie Consultants predicted that by 2015, the overall market size of the domestic internet of things will reach 750 billion yuan, to Twelve-Five, the annual composite growth rate will exceed 30%. And the Ministry of Industry expects that by 2020, the market size of the Internet of things will be more than 1 trillion yuan, the global access network terminals will reach 50 billion.

RFID will be the first to benefit

From the Internet of things industry chain, mainly includes seven parts: chip, RFID provider, sensor provider, communication module provider, operator, system integration and equipment provider.

Analysts believe that because RFID as a collection of data, identification objects, belonging to the "perceptual layer" of the Internet of things, is also the application of the foundation, after years of development and application, technology has been very mature, the cost is relatively low, in the traffic, logistics, environmental protection areas of the demand is very large, At present, all levels of government have put special funds into the RFID, especially UHF RFID research and development applications. As a typical technology and capital-intensive industry, RFID product manufacturing industry has higher trade barriers. And once the enterprise successfully intervene in a market, information collection involves the confidentiality of the customer is very high, for example, in railways, tobacco, military and other special market, customer loyalty is very high.

The reporter also observed that RFID in this large market, China's chip, middleware and background software and other aspects of the technology and foreign leading enterprises have a significant gap, but in the label packaging, reader and system integration, domestic enterprises can be comparable with foreign giants, such as Yuan Yuan, the new world and so on.
