What changes will the Internet + manufacturing + sharing economy bring?

The sharing economy is also developing very hotly in the current Chinese market and attracts a large amount of capital. The "China Sharing Economy Development Report (2020)" shows that the sharing economy market transaction volume in 2018 was 2.942 billion yuan, and the sharing economy market transaction volume in 2019 was 3.2828 billion yuan, an increase of 11.6%.

my country’s sharing economy started early, is large-scale, and has many innovations. From the provision of life-sharing services such as online car-hailing, power banks, umbrellas, and kitchens, to the emergence of new business formats and models such as shared employees, shared machine tools, and shared warehouses, the sharing economy has penetrated into more and more segments and markets.

In the manufacturing industry, the "tentacles" of the sharing economy also extend to multiple scenarios. Specifically speaking, the key reason why the sharing economy can play an important role in promoting the transformation and upgrading of my country's manufacturing industry is that it reduces transaction costs between market entities and solves transaction problems through the new generation of information and communication technology represented by the Internet. The problem of information asymmetry between entities has given rise to new transaction contents and methods, thereby optimizing the allocation of production and manufacturing resources and capabilities, accelerating the release of innovation and entrepreneurship vitality, strengthening the market's survival of the fittest mechanism, and thus improving manufacturing supply quality and efficiency of industry products.

Through the JP collaborative manufacturing platform, each PCB factory can solve the problems of overcapacity and insufficient production capacity, and improve production under the three trilogy of mutual assistance of total production capacity, mutual assistance of partial production processes, and mutual assistance of production time. To improve service efficiency and reduce production costs, manufacturers form a collaborative manufacturing network so that production capacity is no longer a headache. Orders and production capacity can be shared, win-win for all parties, and collaborative manufacturing can be achieved, thereby empowering the innovation and development of small and medium-sized enterprises. Manufacturing resources are deeply integrated through the platform to form a shared manufacturing model of "platform receiving orders, decomposing by process, and multi-factory collaboration".

In the first half of this year, Fujian Shishi’s “Shared Factory” was launched, providing production sites and warehousing facilities for small and medium-sized enterprises, and providing orders for companies that have difficulty receiving orders. Despite the impact of the epidemic, 120,000 overseas garments were quickly put into production through sharing and collaboration. In many cities, light industry companies split and shared orders, design, assembly and other links to reduce market risks and integrate supply chain capabilities.

Take the clothing industry as an example. 40 years ago, starting a clothing business started by opening your own factory; 20 years ago, you started by looking for a foundry; now,You can test the water and sell it for a week before manufacturing and shipping it. Under the current model, small and medium-sized clothing merchants do not need to produce a lot of goods in advance. The "shared factory" model can reduce the constraints of production for small and medium-sized enterprises, allowing them to focus more on their own strengths and business innovation. Similarly, this also benefits designers, fashionistas, and anchors in the clothing industry.

The emergence of shared factories not only prevents a large number of machines from being idle, but also allows them to share massive and dispersed production capabilities. More importantly, large enterprises combine the sharing economy with the construction of "mass entrepreneurship and innovation" platforms to drive and tap innovation potential. It provides new means. For example, Haier's "Hai Cube" not only shares technology, equipment, funds, supply chain and other resources with the whole society, but also uses the resources gathered on the platform to innovate the enterprise management model. More than 5 billion yuan in entrepreneurial incubation funds, more than 1,300 venture capital institutions, more than 30,000 sales channel resources, and more than 60,000 processing and manufacturing resources.

In China, economic transformation and industry. The pull brought by upgrading and the push generated by technological innovation, supply-side reform and "mass entrepreneurship and innovation" activities, coupled with the huge economic scale and market space advantages, the "sharing economy" will usher in more diversified development opportunities in the future . Industrial production, as a key area for the implementation of the sharing economy, will also undergo a new round of changes and upgrades.
