On April 10, the second session of the seventh CPPCC Shenzhen Municipal Committee opened. In the joint group discussion on "vigorously developing the digital economy and accelerating the digital transformation of industries" held on the same day, many members offered suggestions on how to develop the digital economy and transform Shenzhen into a digital city.
Huang Tianhua, member of economic circles and China International Marine Containers (Group) Co.Ltd(000039) vice president, believes that since China put forward the "national big data strategy" in 2015, the position of industrial digitization as the main engine in the digital economy will be continuously consolidated, and the economic scale driven by industrial digital transformation will continue to expand, expanding new space for the high-quality development of the digital economy, in which the digital transformation of manufacturing industry is in a prominent position.
Taking China International Marine Containers (Group) Co.Ltd(000039) as an example, he the experience of digital transformation of manufacturing enterprises.
In 2021 China International Marine Containers (Group) Co.Ltd(000039) encountered great opportunities and severe challenges of "one box is hard to find". Due to the epidemic, China's export goods have increased, and overseas ports have been seriously congested, resulting in a serious imbalance in the flow of containers. Overseas empty containers cannot be returned, and there are no containers available in Chinese ports, which has threatened China's foreign trade exports. Six ministries and commissions, including the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Commerce, require China International Marine Containers (Group) Co.Ltd(000039) to make every effort to increase production, ensure container supply, and submit production information every week. This has been maintained for more than a year, and the state is still monitoring it. However, thanks to the launch of "digital CIMC" in 2017 and the implementation of digital transformation of container manufacturing, China International Marine Containers (Group) Co.Ltd(000039) successfully seized the opportunities and completed the challenges, and made outstanding contributions to the country's "ensuring supply and promoting foreign trade".
Specifically, in 2021, China's container production reached more than twice that of the industry's record year, with a total production of more than 6 million containers. The production efficiency of China International Marine Containers (Group) Co.Ltd(000039) has increased by 125%, and the time required to produce a 40 foot container has increased from 2 minutes to 78 seconds. It can be said that the revenue of more than 60 billion CIMC containers is created in seconds through digital lean.
Huang Tianhua believes that without digital transformation, China International Marine Containers (Group) Co.Ltd(000039) cannot make such achievements. In this regard, he made recommendations:
(I) build a digital transformation demonstration enterprise and guide enterprises to establish the awareness of digital economy
Solve the problem that enterprises "don't want to" digitalize by means of demonstration enterprises and demonstration projects. Let everyone believe in the value and advantages of digital transformation with the tangible results of successful enterprises. Data is one of the driving forces of economic development. The ability to master data is not only the core competitiveness of an enterprise, but also the soft power and important core assets of an enterprise. Combined with the characteristics of the industry, establish a number of industry representative digital transformation benchmarking enterprises, organize platforms and enterprises to jointly create typical application scenarios, share transformation experience, demonstrate and drive the digital transformation of the whole industry, Let enterprises "think" of digital transformation from the heart.
(II) promote enterprises to carry out digital transformation with "problem orientation and business orientation"
As an entity manufacturing enterprise, it must serve the society, shareholders, employees and customers. Therefore, when implementing digital transformation, all walks of life should be promoted by "problem orientation and business orientation" to avoid the disconnection between digitization and business, including the management of procurement, HSE, production efficiency, human resources, risk control and other aspects. Digitization should truly solve the pain points of enterprise management. In the fight against covid-19 pneumonia, it further highlights the necessity and urgency of industrial digital transformation and upgrading. For example, during the epidemic period, a large number of enterprises took procurement management as the breakthrough of digital transformation to accelerate the development of online business, while CIMC container began the transformation of digital supply chain with "sunshine procurement", began the transformation of digital production with the beat management of improving production line efficiency and equipment interconnection, and began the transformation of digital HSE with the safety of digital employees, focusing on the improvement of management efficiency and creating value for business, Constantly explore any possible improvement opportunities. In addition, great changes have taken place in the employment trend of manufacturing industry in recent years. The post-90s and post-00s are reluctant to enter the manufacturing industry. The problems of difficult recruitment and frequent personnel flow have put great pressure on the on-site human resource management, production efficiency and safety management of manufacturing enterprises. It is suggested to vigorously promote the R & D and promotion of digital technology for the improvement of on-site human resource management and production efficiency management in major manufacturing industries, so as to improve enterprise management Improve production efficiency and adaptability, and reduce dependence on employment; On the other hand, we will vigorously invest in the research, development and promotion of digital technology for safety management of personnel at the manufacturing site, such as online safety education, online examination, online supervision of violations at the production site and other automation technologies, so as to improve the level and ability of safety production management. However, how to realize digital transformation with the help of professional technology, it is suggested that the government build a docking mechanism between the platform (transformation service provider) and the enterprise (transformation service demander), guide the enterprise to put forward the application demand of digital transformation, encourage the platform enterprise to develop digital transformation tools, products and services more suitable for the enterprise demand, give play to the market-oriented role of digital transformation, and let the enterprise "know" digital transformation.
(III) strengthen policy support for industrial digital transformation and broaden enterprise financing channels
On the one hand, the government strongly supports and speeds up the research and development of common and key technologies for digital transformation. Support the exploration of new generation digital technology applications such as big data, artificial intelligence, 5g, Internet of things and blockchain in qualified industries. Increase support for common development platforms, common solutions and basic software and hardware to reduce the cost of digital transformation. On the other hand, combined with the construction of the national digital economy innovation and development pilot zone, explore the establishment of a government financial institution platform enterprise linkage mechanism, and encourage the transformation and upgrading of enterprises in the form of special fund support. For example, establish a digital transformation fund pool for manufacturing industry, set up special funds and transformation guidance funds for manufacturing industry transformation, and provide subsidies and tax incentives for digital scene demonstration cases such as enterprise cloud, 5g, industrial Internet of things and artificial intelligence; Encourage commercial banks to provide special preferential credit for digitization, stimulate the leading and enabling role of industrial digitization in economic and social development, and provide strong support for building a new development pattern and realizing high-quality transformation and development. While providing enterprises with convenient access to digital transformation services, with the financial support of the government, enterprises "dare" to engage in digital transformation.
