Small and medium-sized enterprises are still in the exploration stage of digital transformation
A series of policies to optimize the business environment and provide relief to enterprises have greatly helped market entities, especially small, medium and micro enterprises, cope with the impact of the COVID-19 epidemic and effectively stimulated the vitality of market entities. However, we have also seen that in the development process of small and medium-sized enterprises, some deep-seated problems that affect the vitality of market entities have become more prominent, among which digital transformation is a common problem.
Let’s look at a set of data first. The monitoring of the public service platform for the integration of informatization and industrialization shows that the level of integration of informatization and industrialization of my country’s medium-sized enterprises and small enterprises has increased from 49.2% and 38.1% in 2017 to 55.7% and 51.9% in 2021, respectively. Another survey data shows that currently only 25% of enterprises in my country have carried out digital transformation, and the proportion of small and medium-sized enterprises is even smaller. This means that small and medium-sized enterprises are not only the main body of digital transformation, but also the focus and difficulty of transformation.
In order to help small and medium-sized enterprises carry out digital transformation, provinces such as Guangdong and Jiangsu, where small and medium-sized enterprises are concentrated, have begun to introduce relevant policies to encourage and support small and medium-sized enterprises to carry out digital transformation.
Local governments are actively planning the digital transformation of small and medium-sized enterprises
In January this year, Dongguan issued the “Policies and Measures on Promoting the High-Quality Development of the Digital Economy” in the form of the municipal government’s “No. 1 Document”, planning a three-year overall arrangement No less than 10 billion yuan of fiscal funds will support the high-quality development of the digital economy. By the end of the “14th Five-Year Plan” period, Dongguan will achieve full coverage of the digitaltransformation and upgrading of enterprises above designated standards, leading and driving More than 150,000 small and medium-sized industrial enterprises have moved to the cloud to reduce costs, improve quality and efficiency. The “Jiangsu Province Digital Economy Acceleration Action Implementation Plan” proposes that by 2023, 30 provincial-level intelligent manufacturing demonstration factories will be piloted and a total of 100 key industrial Internet platforms will be built to create 3,000 excellent 5G application cases. Accelerate the “digital transformation” of small and medium-sized manufacturing enterprises through digital transformation.
Wang Wei, Director of the Industry and Information Technology Bureau of Wujiang District, Suzhou City: Launched a three-year action plan for intelligent transformation to digital transformation. Our provincial smart workshops have reached 144, and we have completed more than 1,500 smart transformation and digital transformation projects.
Jinan, Shandong Province took the lead in the country in promulgating the “Jinan Industrial Internet Innovation and Development Action Plan”, and the municipal finance allocates 20 million yuan every year to encourage companies to move to the cloud.
Ji Peide, Director of Jinan Municipal Bureau of Industry and Information Technology: Promote the accurate and effective connection between supply and demand of enterprises’ “cloud and use of data to empower intelligence”, and promote the improvement of both the scale and quality of digital transformation of small and medium-sized enterprises. Currently, the number of cloud companies in the city has exceeded 50,000, ranking first in Shandong Province.
It is understood that the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will promote enterprise transformation this year from three aspects: promoting the digital development of small and medium-sized enterprises, network collaboration, and intelligentupgrading. By the end of 2022, more than 100 industrial Internet platforms and digital transformation service providers will be organized to provide digital transformation services to more than 100,000 small and medium-sized enterprises, and promote the “cloud” of small and medium-sized enterprise businesses.
Solve the difficulties of digital “transformation” of small and medium-sized enterprises
Promoting the digital transformation of small and medium-sized enterprises can effectively enhance the company’s ability to resist risks and enhance its core competitiveness.
However, under the current economic situation, the digital transformation of small and medium-sized enterprises generally has the problem of “daring not to convert, not knowing how to convert”. This phenomenon is particularly prominent in Dongguan, Guangdong, where small and medium-sized manufacturing companies are concentrated.
As a promoter of digital management systems, Zhou Lijuan has been under a lot of pressure during this period. Early in the morning, she and her technical consultant came to a furniture manufacturing company in Dongguan to investigate the digital transformation plan on the spot.
Zhou Lijuan, Marketing Director of a software company in Guangdong: You only need to invest 1%-2% of your turnover as the cost of digital transformation. Under the same order conditions, your net profit can increase by 3% or more.
Chen Shimin, general manager of a furniture company in Dongguan: How much will my staff increase after digitization? Will the process become more complicated? What should I do if I’m not used to the digital order I’ve already received?
The two parties discussed it for an hour and a half, and Chen Shimin expressed that he would discuss it with shareholders again. Zhou Lijuan told reporters that there are still many business owners in Dongguan like Chen Shimin who have a wait-and-see attitude towards digital transformation. Although after years of development, the digital transformation of Dongguan enterprises has laid a certain foundation, the overall level is still at a low level. According to the Dongguan Digital Industry Association’s assessment of the city’s 3,111 enterprises on the integration of informatization and informatization, about 86% of enterprises are still in the stage of infrastructure construction or single business application in their digital transformation, and only 12% have entered the stage of key business system integration. .
In order to solve the common problem of “dare not to switch, unable to switch” in the digital transformation of small and medium-sized enterprises, the Dongguan Municipal Bureau of Industry and Information Technology plans to arrange at least 420 million yuan in financial funds to support the digital transformation of the manufacturing industry this year. Among them, in terms of hardware investment, the funding ratio will be increased, and a maximum of 4 million yuan will be given to a single project at a rate of no more than 20% of the total investment; in software, enterprises will be supported to increase investment in the integration of informatization and informatization, and a maximum of 150 yuan will be provided at a rate of no more than 20% of the total investment. Ten thousand yuanSubsidies; provide incentives and subsidies for small and medium-sized enterprises to use cloud platforms, and provide subsidies for purchasing application products from key service providers.
In addition to financial support, in order to solve the problem of “not converting” in digital transformation, Dongguan City has also established a digital transformation empowerment center to provide consulting services to small and medium-sized enterprises. Tailor-made digital transformation solutions.
Zhang Dawei, head of a manufacturing digital transformation empowerment center: On the one hand, we work with the government and combine government requirements and policies to provide services to enterprises. In addition, we also invest a lot of technology and R&D experts to integrate our own The industry also has some experience in digital transformation that is open to connect with enterprises.
Industrial Internet platform helps small and medium-sized enterprises digital transformation
In the Jiangsu Branch of the China Industrial Internet Research Institute in Wujiang, Suzhou, the industrial enterprise big data cloud platform has achieved full information coverage of more than 14,000 industrial enterprises in the region. The platform integrates functions such as operation analysis, early warning monitoring, and comprehensive evaluation. Provide an “accurate portrait” of the industrial and economic development of the region. With the help of intelligent manufacturing diagnosis of this industrial ecological “digital management” system, this traditional foundry company established a digital, automated closed-loop production management system.
Wu Qinfang, chairman of a technology company: We have a concept of data middle platform. All software data are concentrated on one platform, so that we can make full use of the value of the data and collect some management opinions through analysis.
Jiapu Town in Changxing, Zhejiang Province is a “famous filament weaving town in China”. 75% of the households in the town are engaged in the light textile industry. The local area promotes industrial agglomeration through the industrial Internet platform, transforming the original small and scattered family workshops towards digital, intelligent and green transformation. Nearly 100,000 water-jet looms from 62 small and micro enterprises and more than 400 retail households in the town have been moved into the small and micro park. Currently, more than 20,000 water-jet looms have been digitally transformed. After the implementation of unified digital management, the single-machine production capacity increased from 300 meters/day to 360 meters/day, and the product qualification rate increased from 87% to over 95%. In Dingxin Textile Micro Park, the reporter saw six large screens on the wall of the workshop recording more than a dozen data in real time, including the water and electricity consumption and production capacity of more than 1,300 water-jet looms.
Wang Shuping, the person in charge of the digital platform operation of a certain textile industry: We will add a data collection terminal to each loom, and the production data of the loom will be reported in real time. You can see the real-time efficiency of each (loom) and each worker, ultimately helping business managers realize digital production in the weaving process.
The person in charge of this private manufacturing company in Zhangqiu District, Jinan City told reporters that when the company’s cloud project was launched last year, the total investment of more than 1 million yuan made the management hesitate. Now the industrial cloud platform allows this traditional manufacturing company to have a data-based and digital modern enterprise management model, realizing “old trees sprouting new shoots”.
Zhou Yang, Office Director of a heavy-duty forging company: The production scheduling efficiency has increased by 30%, and the product delivery cycle has been shortened by 30%. Our company has been rated as a four-star cloud enterprise and received 30% of the total investment in cloud migration. Government subsidies, it can be said that the cost of cloud migration is really well spent.
