Abstract

Abstract The industrial Internet has brought the biggest economic opportunity since the mobile Internet. Haier started the exploration of intelligentization, networking, and informationalization as early as 2005 and gradually launched an industrial Internet platform COSMOPlat with independent intellectual property rights. In COSMOPlat, traditional mass manufacturing model is replaced by mass customization model (MCM), in which production is driven by users’ order rather than inventory. What the model achieved is not simply automation but also real intelligent manufacturing with high efficiency driven by high precision. With users’ participation in the whole process, manufacturing is precisely made according to the users’ dynamic needs, which will better meet actual requirements. The article provides an overview of the mass customization model of COSMOPlat and how it facilitates enterprises for digital transformation and upgrade. Also indicated are the successful use cases in application.
