"Internet + manufacturing" makes between manufacturers and consumers to form a two-way link and interaction, which is the manufacturing value chain remodeling and optimization. Related enterprises will also be more than a simple physical manufacturing more profit and development space.

Recently, the Internet tycoon Ma Yun for the "Internet + manufacturing" played a fashionable name: "Made in Internet" (network manufacturing). The popular background of this sentence is that the current manufacturing industry in China is taking place from "Made In China" (Made in China) to "Made in Internet" (network manufacturing) profound changes, in this sense, the global manufacturing and Internet integration , Is the inevitable trend of the future.

In the period of industrialization, the manufacturing industry through the economies of scale to meet the demand to obtain huge profits, which is "Made in China" swept the world the root causes, but the information age, manufacturing demand side showing decentralized, personalized and other characteristics, and Impact the traditional manufacturing industry, the whole process of value chain. Therefore, from "Made In China" to "Made in Internet" transformation, the refraction of the industrial economy is the scale of the economy, to the information economy of the smart economy transition, which not only means that the transformation of production methods, Structural reform from demand side to supply side.

Now the world is going through a revolutionary change. The wave of information, making digital, network, information to the extent of the replacement of labor, capital and land, to determine the manufacturing industry, "added value" of the biggest elements. "Internet +" is not only a platform, tools and tools, but also drive new technology, the core of new products.

As early as 1996, the American scholar Negroponte proposed the concept of "digital survival", that is, human survival in a virtual, digital living space, in which people use digital technology (information technology) Information dissemination, communication, learning, work and other activities, there is no doubt that the manufacturing industry must also comply with this "digital production."

In the supply and demand perspective from the perspective of "Internet + manufacturing", you can see this change on the "digital production mode" compliance. Economics believes that resources are always scarce, but in reality, with the industrial revolution after the social productivity greatly improved, many resources have entered a structural surplus, which is China to promote the "supply side reform" background. But this does not mean that the law of economics is wrong, in this era, the real scarce resources, not the material itself, but the matching of resources and individual needs of the difference. "Supply and demand dislocation" will become the biggest obstacle to China's current economic development, in essence, because the supply side of China's industrial economies of scale can not match the information economy under the background of personalized, decentralized needs.

Internet, large data and artificial intelligence, to the exact demand for accurate matching. "Internet + manufacturing" makes between manufacturers and consumers to form a two-way link and interaction, which is the manufacturing value chain remodeling and optimization. Related enterprises will also be more than a simple physical manufacturing more profit and development space.

The traditional garment manufacturing industry, for example, seven months was originally an embarrassing time period, because the summer order has long been completed, and autumn and winter orders have not yet started, many factories will choose to stop the holiday to spend these days, which makes a large number of The production line was idle, a serious waste of production capacity. And "Made in Internet" as the core of the "Amoy factory", so that more than 20,000 scattered throughout the country's garment factories in the off-season at full capacity to step up production, they rely on is the "Internet + manufacturing" to bring Of the information network.

There are at least two advantages: first, "Internet + manufacturing" can make the manufacturing industry to improve supply, reduce inventory and reduce logistics costs; second, the "Internet + manufacturing industry" and so on, , Large data, net red economy and other supply side of the reform innovation, factor resources optimization, but also allow new business and new business model for economic growth to provide "new energy."

In this sense, "Internet + manufacturing" is to promote the supply side of the manufacturing sector reform, supply and upgrading of an important tool, and this is the inevitable trend of future industrial development.
