Shuangyashan City strengthens top-level design, promotes the construction of new infrastructure, and promotes the digital transformation of traditional industries with applications. In December 2019, the “Implementation Plan of Shuangyashan Municipal People’s Government on Deepening “Internet + Advanced Manufacturing Industry” to Promote Industrial Internet Development” was issued to coordinate the development of the city’s industrial Internet. In 2022, the “Several Policies and Measures to Promote the High-Quality Development of the Digital Economy in Shuangyashan City” (hereinafter referred to as the “Policy Measures”) was issued, and 10 policies for exemption and 2 incentives and subsidies was introduced to increase the digital transformation of the manufacturing industry and the digital empowerment of small and medium-sized enterprises. At the same time, the “Shuangyashan City Implementation Plan for Accelerating the Construction of 5G Communication Infrastructure” was formulated, which clarified the overall requirements, main tasks and safeguard measures for the construction of 5G base stations. Shuangyashan City plans to build 357 5G base stations in 2022, 443 of which have been completed so far, and a total of 1,793 5G base stations have been built.

Promote the construction of industrial Internet logo analysis enterprise nodes. Enterprises are encouraged to access the public management service platform of the secondary node of Heilongjiang Industrial Internet Identification Analysis and register the enterprise node. Up to now, 23 enterprises including Jianlong Iron and Steel, Jianlong Chemical, and Northeast Black Bee of Agricultural Reclamation have registered on the provincial industrial Internet identification management platform, with about 50,000 registrations and 80,000 resolutions. Policies and measures will reward manufacturing enterprises that register as enterprise nodes, with a reward of 20,000 yuan for enterprises above the regulations and 10,000 yuan for enterprises under the regulations. Promote the construction of enterprise-level industrial Internet platforms. In October 2021, Jianlong Iron and Steel’s 5G + industrial Internet intelligent security platform has been put into use. Jianlong Iron and Steel’s platform-based intelligent production realizes the interconnection of production equipment and information systems within the enterprise and between upstream and downstream industries, and promotes the integration and sharing of manufacturing resources and data.

Promote the digital transformation of the manufacturing industry. The “Shuangyashan City’s Action Plan for Developing Industrial Internet to Promote Digital Transformation of Manufacturing Industry (2022-2025)” has been formulated, and strive to achieve 50 digital manufacturing enterprises in key business links, 20 enterprises above designated size, 50 cloud enterprises, 20 million industrial Internet logo registrations, and 6 enterprises that implement the standard through the integration of industrialization and industrialization. and 10 digital workshops will have been identified. Promote the construction of digital workshops. A total of 6 provincial-level digital workshops, including the firing workshop of New Era Cement and the seamless steel pipe workshop of Jianlong Iron and Steel, have been identified, which have played a leading and typical role in promoting the digital transformation of key industries such as iron and steel, grain processing, and building materials. Carry out the construction of a standard system for the integration of industrialization and industrialization. Two enterprises, Jianlong Iron and Steel and New Era Cement, have been certified by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of the People’s Republic of China for the “integration of industrialization and industrialization” management system, improving the key indicators of the integration of informatization and industrialization.

Promote the use of cloud by SMEs. Promote the full coverage of industrial enterprises on the cloud, reduce the cost of digital transformation of small and medium-sized enterprises, and improve the application level of digital technology for small and medium-sized enterprises. Policies and measures will provide subsidies to the manufacturing enterprises on the cloud, which will be subsidized according to 50% of the actual expenditure. The above-regulated enterprises shall not exceed 50,000 yuan, and the under-regulated enterprises shall not exceed 30,000 yuan. Strengthen policy publicity and guidance. The expert team of the Provincial Industrial Informatization Development Center was invited to carry out four coaching sessions for Shuangyashan enterprises to promote the digital transformation of the manufacturing industry. 42 enterprises and 53 people participated in the training. On-site visits to 27 enterprises including Jianlong Iron and Steel, New Era Cement, Heilong Xinshuangboo, and Moli New Materials to conduct digital transformation diagnosis services and propose targeted digital transformation solutions.

At the same time, Shuangyashan City vigorously develops the electronic information industry and promotes the development of digital industrialization with projects. Make full use of the scientific and technological advantages of Jianlong Vanadium and Titanium Research Institute to accelerate the preliminary work of the 600MW vanadium flow energy storage battery project. This product has an industrial foundation and technical support in Shuangyashan City, which can effectively promote the industrial integration development of Shuangyashan City. Vanadium flow energy storage battery project is not only a major project in the digital product manufacturing industry of Shuangyashan’s electronic information industry, but also an important support for the high-quality development of Shuangyashan’s digital economy.

The huge space of the digital economy is increasingly emerging in Shuangyashan. In the next step, Shuangyashan City will increase investment in digital industrialization projects. Taking advantage of the opportunity of the 2022 World 5G Conference held in Harbin, we will strive to sign a 600MW vanadium battery production line project. The project is expected to have a total investment of 2.88 billion yuan. It will build a vanadium redox flow battery electrolyte and a 600MW vanadium battery production line with an annual output of 140,000 cubic meters. The annual energy storage scale is 2.5GWh (gigawatt hours). The project is expected to achieve an annual output value of 12 billion to 13 billion yuan.
