With the continuous development of society, industry has a vital impact on the construction of a city and even a country, and industrial development even directly affects economic development. Industrial development itself is a very complex process, which involves the coordinated relationship between rural and urban areas, and is closely related to service industry, agriculture, transportation and so on. Industrial development is not only the core content of the modernization process, but also a development field that needs to weigh the advantages and disadvantages under the background of sustainable development.

In history, industrial development has been divided into several stages. According to relevant consensus and the concept put forward by Germany in 2013, the steam engine era is the first stage of industrial development, namely “industry 1.0″, and the subsequent electrification era and information age are “industry 2.0″ and “industry 3.0″. At present, we are in “industry 4.0″, In short, it is an intelligent era in which information technology is used to promote industrial change.

Maybe it’s a little vague to say so, but if we understand it from the three words of intelligence itself, we will find it much easier to understand. The so-called intellectualization refers to improving the functionality of tools and equipment from various needs of users with the support of computer network, big data, Internet of things and artificial intelligence. In short, we should focus on digital transformation to make goods more “easy to use”.

In fact, in the era of “industry 3.0″, digitization has become an important development idea, and in today’s “industry 4.0″, digitization can be regarded as a prerequisite for intelligent development. In short, only when most traditional enterprises have realized digital transformation can they have an opportunity to realize data interaction and intelligent access.

For China, with the official issuance of made in China 2025 by the State Council in May 2015, promoting the development of intelligent manufacturing has become one of the strategies of strengthening the country, and relevant technologies will continue to promote our lives in the next few years.

So today, under the influence of the development of industrial digitization, what impact has our life been affected? This should be considered from two aspects.

The first is the industry itself. Digital development provides a new possibility for China’s industrial promotion. On the one hand, the digitization of the whole process of geological exploration has made a breakthrough in the rational use of mineral resources and environmental protection. With the help of digital exploration, we have not only realized more accurate operation, but also realized big data planning, which is of great significance to sustainable development. On the other hand, the digital development makes many traditional instruments and equipment more portable and efficient, and provides the utilization of human and financial resources.

Secondly, the residents’ life itself. Industrial digitization has transformed many traditional industries, from which we have gained convenience, and the new products launched with the development of relevant technologies have also enriched our work and life. However, even so, we still face the challenges brought by resources and energy efficiency, which is also an important problem to be solved in the era of industrial intelligence.
