The so-called smart manufacturing, smart machines, in the hard body of technology, such as sensors and other areas, in fact, have been developed quite complete, the core of the key, as the General's attention is "soft" integration and services, to ServiceMax, said that its Internet of Things cloud platform can receive information from the built-in sensors of each device on the Internet of Things, so that the use of units or maintenance companies to understand which parts are going to fail, so as to troubleshoot the problem. The IoT cloud platform can receive information from the built-in sensors of each device on the IoT, allowing users or maintenance companies to know which parts are going to fail, and accordingly scheduling maintenance and replacement time, which can greatly enhance maintenance efficiency, save time and costs, and improve device reliability.
Now the Internet of Things application is more and more common, in life, many see, electronic tags should also belong to the Internet of Things technology applications.RFID radio frequency identification is a non-contact automatic diagnosis technology, it through the radio frequency signal automatic diagnosis target object and obtains the related information, the recognition work does not need the human intervention, can work in all kinds of bad environment.
At present, the application of RFID technology in the apparel industry in Guangzhou has received more and more attention from apparel entrepreneurs, through RFID technology to provide transparency in supply chain management, improve inventory turnover rate, reduce out-of-stock losses, and enhance the store's consumer experience. Through RFID technology basically for the apparel industry to bring the benefits of four categories:
Fast - fast logistics efficiency, fast goods handover point number.
Accurate - in all aspects of the supply chain on the flow of clothing information collected accurately.
Prevention - By embedding Reid's RFID chip inside the garment, it realizes anti-tampering and anti-counterfeiting efficacy.
Service - Through the Reid Apparel RFID Smart Store, the consumer experience is improved through interaction, the display of more products, and rapid response to consumer demand to improve service levels.

Who will guard the industrial Internet of Things securityAccording to the characteristics of the Internet of Things itself, the Internet of Things, in addition to facing the traditional network security issues of the action communication network, there are also some with the existing action network security is different from the special security issues. This is due to the Internet of Things is composed of a large number of machines, the lack of people to effectively monitor the device, and the number of large, device clusters and other related characteristics caused by these special security issues are mainly the following aspects.
Local security of IoT machines/sensing nodes. Because IoT applications can replace people to do some complex, dangerous and mechanical work. So most of the IoT machine/sense nodes are deployed in unmonitored scenarios. Then attackers can easily access these devices to cause damage to them or even replace the machine's hardware and software through local operations.
Transmission and information security issues in sensory networks. Sensor nodes are often simple (e.g., automated thermometers) and carry little energy (batteries), making them incapable of sophisticated security protection. Sensor networks are diverse, ranging from temperature measurements to hydrological monitoring, from road navigation to automation, and there are no specific standards for their data transmission and messaging, so there is no way to provide a unified security protection system.
Core network transmission and information security issues. The core network has a relatively complete security protection capability, but due to the large number of nodes in the Internet of Things, and the existence of clusters, it will lead to the dissemination of information, due to a large number of machines in the data transmission network congestion, resulting in denial of service attacks. In addition, the security architecture of existing communication networks is designed from the perspective of human communication and is not applicable to machine communication. Using existing security mechanisms can fragment the logical relationships between IoT machines.

I was browsing the Internet of Things (IoT) this week and wanted to take a closer look at how IoT will make the power grid smarter (and vice versa), providing more information and better interconnectivity throughout the infrastructure and within homes. With IoT, users, manufacturers and public **** utility service providers will reveal a whole new way to manage devices and ultimately save resources and overhead. Let's take a look at the way the world's smart meters are realized by connecting the smart grid to your home.
At a time when there is a global focus on energy management and conservation, IoT will expand the suite of smart grid connectivity benefits beyond the distribution, automation, and monitoring accomplished by the public **** utility supply side. Inside homes and buildings, the use of management systems will help users monitor their own usage and adjust usage habits. These systems will eventually be automated by operating during off-peak hours and connecting to sensors to monitor the number of users, lighting conditions, and more. But all of this comes from a smarter and more interconnected grid.
The first key step in making IoT a reality with a smart grid is the mass adoption of smart meters. Millions of meters are already wired, and the momentum for an interconnected grid continues to grow. However, to realize its maximum potential, the first step in the Smart Grid is to move from mechanical meters to smart electronic meters, with the goal of establishing two-way communication between the meters and the public **** utility supply side.
Adoption of smart electronic meters in the U.S. is approaching 50 percent, with millions of meters now installed in the field, interconnected to the grid and communicating regularly. Essentially, meters are expanding their functionality suite from electrical energy metering devices to become two-way communication systems.
Modern electronic meters must meet specific criteria to play such a critical role in the smart grid and IoT. First, meters need to report energy consumption information to public **** utilities in residences and buildings. In the U.S., the appropriate solution is low-power RF (LPRF) communications using a Sub-1 GHz mesh network. However, depending on the country and the properties of the power grid, a wireless solution may not be optimal, for example in countries such as Spain or France that use wired narrowband orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) power line communications (PLC). There is no one-size-fits-all solution for connectivity. Making IoT a reality requires a much larger portfolio of products that can support everything from wired to wireless, and sometimes a combination of the two.
Second, meters need to deliver useful energy consumption information into the house via in-home displays or gatekeepers. This information allows users to adjust their power habits accordingly and reduce their overhead. In the United States, the ZigBee standard is used in conjunction with smart energy applications. Other countries, such as the UK or Japan, are evaluating Sub-1 GHz RF or PLC solutions for greater coverage, or hybrid RF and PLC combination implementations. So, in essence, meters are becoming smart sensors for IoT for two-way communication inside and outside of homes and buildings, interconnecting as a mesh network while reporting basic energy information to public **** utilities.
Additionally, smart meters need to support higher-order features such as dynamic pricing, demand response, remote connect and disconnect, net security, wireless downloads, and post-installation upgrades, which would eliminate the need for the public **** utility supply side to field a technician for each meter.
As you can see, the smart grid plays a key role in supporting IoT-but that's just the beginning. Wiring together devices in buildings and homes is the next thing to do to leverage the full benefits of the smart grid, and many innovative solutions and convenience apps are already available to users. Dedicated home energy gateways, smart app centers, or energy management systems will allow users to experience the benefits of an interconnected grid and IoT more quickly.

General Electric's (GE's) e-business strategy
1.Overview of GE
General Electric (GE) is a diversified global conglomerate whose history can be traced back to 1878, when Thomas Jefferson was the first president of the company, and the first vice president of the company, when he was the first president of the company. Its history can be traced back to the Edison Electric Lighting Company established by Thomas A. Edison in 1878. In 1892, Edison General Electric Company and Thomson-Houston Electric Company merged to create General Electric Company. Over the past one hundred years, General Electric Company has adhered to the concept of bringing a better life through technology, always maintaining scientific and technological innovation, and maintaining a global leading technological advantage. Currently, GE has 24,414 patents, which cumulatively rank first in the world.
GE integrates technology, manufacturing, and services, and is committed to achieving global leadership in each of the industries in which it operates.GE reorganized its original 13 subordinate industrial groups into the current 11 business groups in January 2004: Energy Group, High-Tech Materials Group, Consumer Financial Services Group, Business Financing Group, Healthcare Group, Consumer and Industrial Products Group, Infrastructure Group, National Broadcasting Company, Transportation Group, Installation Services Group, and Insurance Group. If ranked individually, at least nine of the business groups could be ranked among the world's 500 largest companies. ge has operations in 160 countries around the world, including 270 manufacturing plants operating in 26 countries, and employs more than 300,000 people globally. ge's foreign revenues have risen each year, and in 1999, the company's revenues outside of the United States accounted for 41 percent of its more than $107 billion in total revenues, amounting to $43.9 billion. in 2003, sales were $4.9 billion, and in 2004, sales were $4.9 billion. GE has a long history in China, with 11 business groups currently operating in the country, 20 offices and nearly 30 joint ventures or wholly owned enterprises, with a total investment of more than $1.5 billion. GE remains one of only seven 3-A rated industrial companies in the world. For six consecutive years, GE has been recognized by the Financial Times as one of the "World's Most Admired Companies".
2. GE's e-business strategy
Transforming from a traditional industrial company into a new e-business enterprise has been a key focus of GE's growth. 1999 saw the formalization of e-business as a growth strategy for the company, adding to its original six sigma strategies of quality, globalization, and service. In the first year of implementation, e-commerce generated $1 billion in online revenue for the company. This has enabled GE, a century-old company, to maintain the momentum of sustained and rapid growth in the new century. This change had a huge impact throughout the Western corporate world, and GE hoped that by promoting e-business, it would be able to find and establish a future business model for a company that had been a leader for over a century. In 2000, GE's strategic direction for e-business was threefold: to ensure that every GE business group had a customer cyber center to provide the highest quality of online service, sales, and support; to move internal purchasing and supplier resources online to take full advantage of efficiencies and low costs; and to continually develop new technologies and services to increase online sales.
In fact, GE, which has always been a technology leader, is not a latecomer to e-commerce, and its Information Services Group has been a global leader in the fields of electronic data interchange (EDI) and virtual trade environments based on the Internet. In recent years, GE's financial, plastics, medical equipment, aircraft engines, power systems and other departments are based on their own business, through the inter-network for online sales, customer service, information release, remote device monitoring and maintenance, as well as employee recruitment, internal management and other activities, which the GE Group's a sales Web site Polymerland ..., a week in 2000, the volume of transactions reached 5 million dollars in one week in 2000, and in 2001 realized 1.5 to 2 billion dollars.
GE will be the reason why the e-commerce strategy to determine the development of the important height of the enterprise, the reason is that GE's top management fully foresee the development of the Internet network will bring the impact of all economic entities. The development of the Internet so that the enterprise and the customer, the enterprise and the staff, the staff and the staff and all the relationships between them to become transparent, knowledge is the power to become a thing of the past. Because all people can easily access a large amount of information at the same time, the traditional way of doing business will inevitably be impacted, including the disintegration of intermediaries, the collection of competition, the virtual business community, the complete penetration of the customer, dynamic pricing, targeted products, synergistic markets, partner services, and other changes in the business model has been initially apparent.
GE promotes e-commerce, it is in order to grasp and participate in these changes in a timely manner, through the changes in the seller (customer), buyer (supplier), investment in business and internal programs, to continue to "faster and better to make the customer satisfied" to stay ahead of the curve, so as to maintain the vitality of the enterprise's development, consolidate its leading position, which is also the first step in the development of GE. This is another tangible demonstration of GE's entrepreneurial spirit of seeing change as an opportunity.
GE is still the best company in the world, and it is driving the e-commerce revolution with great enthusiasm. This will not only determine the future fate of this century-old giant, but will also have far-reaching global implications.
Internet Week, America's premier Internet and information technology magazine, conducted its first-ever survey of major U.S. companies on the theme of the "Internet Week 100," selecting the leading e-commerce companies in 10 major industry sectors. GE was named the 2000 "E-Commerce Company of the Year".
3. GE's e-procurement system
GE has been actively promoting the strategic transition to an e-business enterprise, and has achieved very significant benefits. The following is only an example of the situation after GE's Lighting Engineering Group (note: the group's business was merged into GE Energy after January 2004) adopted an Internet-based e-procurement system:
GE's raw material costs increased by 16% from 1982 to 1992, while prices remained the same or even began to decline during the same period. To offset the disadvantages due to rising costs, GE went all out to improve its purchasing methods, which were analyzed and found to be inefficient with too many intermediate transactions. More than a quarter of the shipments needed to be refilled because the information on the orders, receipts, and shipment notes did not match.
GE Lighting Engineering Group used to send requests for quotations (RFQs) to the company's purchasing department on a daily basis for many low-cost mechanical parts. Purchasing was sending hundreds of RFQs to partners every day to get the lowest price for raw materials. The manual purchasing process used to be that the Purchasing Department had to attach a design to each RFQ, which was retrieved from the company's technical data files, photocopied in the photocopying room, folded and sent in an envelope with the RFQ. This process takes 7 days to complete and is very complex and time consuming. Due to the cumbersome program and time constraints, the company's procurement department usually sends the bidding file to only two or three suppliers at a time.
Since 1996, when GE launched its first online purchasing system (TPN Post), the purchasing process has become much simpler and faster. Today, GE Lighting Engineering Group e-procurement is accomplished by sending an electronic request for quotation (RFQ) by e-mail to the Purchasing Department, which then sends out the solicitation dossier to suppliers worldwide via the Internet. The system automatically retrieves accurate design drawings and automatically attaches the correct diagrams and attachments to the RFQ. Within two hours of the Procurement Department beginning the process, suppliers worldwide receive the RFQ by email, fax or EDI, have seven days to prepare and return their bids over the Internet, and the evaluation of bids is completed the same day they are received by GE with the final selection of the winning bidder.
Lighting Engineering Group has realized a number of benefits from the implementation of its online purchasing system (TPN): the online purchasing system has freed up and reassigned 60% of the company's personnel responsible for purchasing. The purchasing department was freed from a lot of paper, photocopying and mailing work and was able to free up at least six to eight extra days a month to focus on strategic development issues. The ability to liaise with a wider range of suppliers online has resulted in a 30% saving in labor costs in purchasing and a 5% to 20% reduction in raw material costs. Whereas it used to take 18 to 23 days to identify suppliers, prepare tender requests, negotiate prices with suppliers and sign contracts, it now takes only 9 to 11 days. The transaction process is conducted electronically from start to finish, and receipts are automatically aligned with purchase orders, reflecting all changes that occur throughout the process. Purchasing departments around the world on the best suppliers to exchange information with each other. 1997 February, GE Lighting Engineering Group through the Internet found seven new suppliers, one of them even 20% lower than the other's offer. GE estimates that a comprehensive change in purchasing methods alone can save the company $ 500 million to $ 700 million per year.

How to build industrial intelligence with IoT dataThanks to the rise of the Internet of Things (IoT) and Industry 4.0, a number of companies have built platforms for data collection, monitoring, and display through IoT in recent years. The deeper application of data, such as the use of the latest machine learning algorithms to enhance the intelligence of the data, is now a must for industrial users to carry out digital transformation.
From the current trend, the hot areas of artificial intelligence are focused on language, image interaction, or business applications. For the industrial sector, based on the streaming information obtained from the Internet of Things, how to realize the efficiency improvement through artificial intelligence? In the process of using these materials, how to avoid stepping on potholes and smoothly carry out the deployment of the program? This is a problem that needs to be solved in the industrial sector. For this reason, in this issue of the Open Class of Hard Creation, Lei Feng Network invited Chang Wei, CEO of JUE Cloud Technology, to explain how to use IoT information to build industrial intelligence.
