The intelligent sensor terminal and core chip of industrial internet are the basis of intelligent big data applications, which can realize the full link of people, machines and things in the industrial field, and support edge computing and digital twin of industrial Internet. The establishment of the innovation center is conducive to building of a two-way, iterative and mutually beneficial industrial ecology, creating a universal, open and flexible perception service capability, promoting  core chips and sensor terminals to a safe and controllable digital, networked and intelligent leap, and supporting industrial internet in a wider range, deeper and higher level of integration and innovation development.

The innovation center aims to implement the documents such as "Suggestions of the CPC Central Committee on Formulating the Fourteenth Five Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development and the Long-term Goal of 2035", "Guiding Opinions on Deepening the Integration Development of New Generation Information Technology and Manufacturing Industry", "Several Policies for Promoting the High-quality Development of Integrated Circuit Industry and Software Industry in the New Era". The main tasks are as follows. First is technology incubation. We will carry out research on integrated, networked and intelligent solutions for industrial internet perception layer devices, and explore alternative implementation paths for localization of high-performance and high cost-effective industrial internet perception layer core chips. Second is standard development. By widely soliciting the opinions of the industry, we’ll strengthen the standard development of industrial internet intelligent sensor terminal access protocol, networking, interface, and core chip products. Third is industrial connection. Gather the backbone of the industry, promote the connection of industry supply and demand, and promote the solution of product localization transformation by way of seminars and expert sharing, irregular publication of briefing, annual forum and other activities.
