Research On The Industrial Development Of "Internet Of Things" In China-from The Perspective Of Industrial Convergence

“Internet of Things” is regarded as the third wave of global IT industry,following the computer and internet. Currently,“Internet of Things” has been listed asthe strategic emerging industry, but still faces many deficiencies in its development.This is mainly represented by the inferior technical capacities, inadequate economiesof scale and relatively low proportion of the service industries. Meanwhile, in theexternal application of “Internet of Things”, the problems of partial development andindustrial barriers have also brought great challenge. With the continuousdevelopment of new technological revolution, industrial convergence has become anew form of industrial development in the process of informationalisation, whichprovides important theoretical reference for resolving the challenge faced in theindustrial development of “Internet of Things” in China.“Internet of Things” has great industrial value, but the current research usuallyfocuses on the technologies, standards and specific applications of “Internet ofThings”, lacks a systematic thinking of the “Internet of Things” industries. Based onthe current status and problems of the “Internet of Things” industrial developments inChina, this article uses the theory of industrial convergence to solve the followingquestions: First, how to coordinate the relationship of manufacturing and servicesindustries in the industrial structure of “Internet of Things”. Second, how to speed upthe penetration of the external applications of “Internet of Things”, and to boost the“Convergence of Informationalisation and Industrialisation”.According to the qualitative and quantitative analysis of the “Internet of Things”industries, this article draws on the following conclusions:(1) We should try to buildthe convergence-style industrial system that suits the industrial convergence, and usethe penetration of “Internet of Things” high-tech productive service industries tostimulate the improvements of technical, output, employment and trade levels in“Internet of Things” manufacturing industries, and finally to improve the competitivepower of “Internet of Things” industry.(2) The application of “Internet of Things”needs the government to broaden the industrial supervision, in order to breakthroughthe industrial barriers. Then, the “Internet of Things” industry could converge withthe traditional industries, especially the manufacturing industries, so as to play therole of “catalyst” in the “Convergence of Informationalisation and Industrialisation”. (3) During the process of using the industrial convergence to promote the “Internet ofThings” industrial development, the key is to seek the technical breakthroughs and toaccelerate the technological convergence. Meanwhile, we should also enhance theintegration with traditional industries from both sides of services and market, activelycultivate modern service forms such as M2M following the direction of marketdemand.
