创始人2020-08-25
Since providing services to the Asia Pacific region in 2012, the Beidou Navigation System has achieved industrial applications in multiple fields such as communication, transportation, agriculture and animal husbandry, and tourism, becoming an accelerator for promoting high-quality development.In the midst of summer, a buzzing sound can be heard in the cotton fields of Gule Awati Village, Wensu County, Xinjiang. Technicians are using crop protection drones to spray pesticides on cotton fields. There are no people in the hundreds of acres of cotton fields, and all work is carried out by unmanned aerial vehicles.Due to the use of high-precision positioning services provided by the Beidou satellite navigation system, the operation results are more accurate and efficient. The technician said that in the past, it took 6 people to work for two days to apply pesticides to 300 acres of cotton at once, but now it can be completed in half a day with a crop protection drone.On July 31st, China announced to the world that its independently built and operated Beidou-3 global satellite navigation system has been fully completed. This is the first and so far the only aerospace information system in China that provides open and free services to the world. In fact, since the Beidou Navigation System began providing services to the Asia Pacific region in 2012, it has been industrialized in various fields such as communication, transportation, agriculture and animal husbandry, and tourism, becoming an accelerator for promoting high-quality development.Endless prospects for money and prosperityIn July, the first Beidou ground-based enhanced power base station in Xinjiang was built at the 110 kV Henan East Road substation in Urumqi. It is reported that the positioning accuracy has been improved from the meter level of ordinary positioning to the dynamic centimeter level or static millimeter level, and the positioning and timing accuracy can even reach 20 nanoseconds. It has been used in unmanned aerial vehicle inspection, tower deformation monitoring and other aspects, providing a guarantee for the safe and reliable operation of power.On August 3rd, at the press conference for the completion and opening of the Beidou-3 global satellite navigation system, Ran Chengqi, Director of the China Satellite Navigation System Management Office and spokesperson for the Beidou Satellite Navigation System, stated that the overall output value of China's satellite navigation and location service industry has grown by more than 20% annually, reaching 345 billion yuan in 2019 and expected to exceed 400 billion yuan in 2020.The "2020 White Paper on the Development of China's Satellite Navigation and Location Services Industry" released by the China Satellite Navigation and Positioning Association this year shows that with the development of Beidou applications as the core, the overall output value of China's satellite navigation and location services industry has reached 345 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 14.4%. Among them, the contribution rate of Beidou to the core output value has exceeded 80%. Meanwhile, with the deepening of the application of "Beidou+" and "+Beidou", the related output value generated by satellite navigation has increased by 17.3% year-on-year.In recent years, Changsha has always attached great importance to the development of the Beidou application industry. At present, in the Beidou navigation industry in Changsha, the number of enterprises mainly engaged in application and operation services accounts for about 65%, and the output value accounts for about 80%, and the proportion is still increasing. Since the beginning of this year, Beidou application enterprises in Changsha have been less affected by the epidemic, with sales performance and new orders increasing instead of decreasing. The main business income of key enterprises in the industrial chain has increased by an average of 10% year-on-year.It is reported that currently, vehicle monitoring, information services, vehicle navigation, and personal tracking account for 85% of the various classification applications in the downstream of the Beidou system. Industry insiders point out that with the successful launch of the last star, the Beidou-3 system will be fully established, and the functions and performance of the Beidou system will be further improved. The scale, industrialization, and internationalization of Beidou applications will also be further enhanced.Accelerator for promoting high-quality developmentThe saying 'cows and sheep follow the water grass, and shepherds follow the cows and sheep' is a portrayal of traditional pastoral life. However, now, with the help of Beidou, some herders in Xinjiang's pastoral areas have already bid farewell to traditional grazing methods and achieved remote grazing management.The intelligent grazing system we have developed is based on Beidou positioning to obtain the location of cattle and sheep. Herdsmen only need to wear Beidou grazing collars around the necks of their cattle and sheep, and with the help of a matching mobile app, they can know the location and trajectory of their own cattle and sheep without leaving their homes. They no longer have to ride their bikes all over the grassland to search for cattle and sheep, "said Chen Hu, Deputy General Manager of Xinjiang Tianyu Beidou Satellite Technology Co., Ltd.In addition to intelligent grazing, the system can also trace the quality of beef and mutton products. Customers can use the intelligent grazing system platform to search for information such as the growth environment and grazing trajectory of the corresponding beef and mutton purchased. Tracing the quality of meat products can enable customers to purchase higher quality meat products, thereby helping to shape a good Xinjiang meat brand in the national meat market and promoting the development of the Xinjiang meat industry, "said Chen Hu.Nowadays, "Beidou" has been widely used in many enterprises in Xinjiang. In the field of communication, the short messages of "Beidou" have made up for the shortcomings of Xinjiang's communication blind spots; In the field of agriculture and animal husbandry, over 10000 agricultural machinery have used the "Beidou" navigation system, bringing about earth shaking changes to agricultural production. A total of 5954 unmanned tractors have been developed, over 5000 unmanned crop protection aircraft have been equipped with the Beidou navigation system, and over 10000 agricultural machinery and equipment have been serviced by the Beidou navigation system; In the field of tourism, Xinjiang has developed a comprehensive cloud tour guide based on the Beidou system. Through high-precision positioning, it helps various scenic spots set up tour routes, set up electronic fences, and protect unopened scenic spots on the network.At present, all fishing boats with a horsepower of over 60 in the province are equipped with our Beidou shipborne terminals; long-distance buses, tourist buses, and dangerous goods transport vehicles across the country are also commonly equipped with our vehicle networking terminals. "A staff member from Fujian Xinghai Communication said that as an old enterprise that relied on borrowing to pay salaries in 2000, the company's turning point lies in Beidou. At the beginning of the release of the Beidou satellite system, the company immediately followed up and developed related products. With the maturity of the Beidou system, Fujian Xinghai Communication has also developed into the only enterprise in the province that simultaneously masters the three major navigation technologies of wireless, satellite, and inertial, with an annual output value exceeding 200 million yuan.Enterprises that have achieved great development through the power of Beidou include Dingyang Technology. They have independently developed high-precision algorithms to achieve a dynamic accuracy error of less than 1 meter and a static accuracy of 1 millimeter for the Beidou satellite navigation system.The policy continues to awesomeCurrently, Xinjiang is actively planning and promoting the deep application of Beidou navigation. Wang Xuefeng, director of the Satellite Application Center of the Xinjiang Department of Industry and Information Technology, said that Xinjiang is striving to build a Beidou data platform, further promoting the integration and development of the satellite navigation industry with manufacturing, software, and modern service industries, and expanding and strengthening the scale of satellite application industrialization. At the same time, we will build the Xinjiang Beidou Industry Alliance, establish a demonstration zone for Xinjiang's spatial information industry, and assist in the transformation and development of Xinjiang's digital economy.Since the official launch of the Beidou-3 global satellite navigation system, the two major technologies of Beidou in the sky and 5G on the ground have joined forces, and their unlimited prospects and enormous energy have aroused the attention of many industries. In Fuzhou, it was clearly proposed to build a satellite Internet and promote satellite applications in urban management, intelligent transportation, public safety, emergency rescue, land mapping, etc. The Intelligent Space (Fuzhou) Innovation Laboratory of Peking University will collaborate closely with the government of Cangshan District to seize the opportunity of the recent release of the national standard "Earth Space Grid Coding Rules" and the launch of the National Big Data Center construction. The training base for the southeast region of Beidou Grid Code will be located in Cangshan District, and the big data base function of Beidou Grid Code will be located in Cangshan District.As a research center for the aerospace industry and the largest gathering place for commercial aerospace startups, Beijing released the "Action Plan for Accelerating the Construction of New Infrastructure in Beijing (2020-2022)" on June 10, proposing to build a commercial aerospace industry ecosystem covering rockets, satellites, ground terminals, and application services around the integration of satellite and rocket assembly, core component manufacturing, etc., and optimize and stabilize the spatial layout of "South Arrow and North Star".Industry insiders predict that as the infrastructure construction of the Beidou system tends to be completed, the entire Beidou ecosystem is expected to form a virtuous cycle and enter a high prosperity cycle of the industry, especially downstream operation services will usher in huge development space. Moreover, the value of Beidou is not limited to the field of technology. "Beidou+" will extend to more commercial paths. As the underlying application scenarios become more diverse and truly serve society, the scale of Beidou related industries is bound to undergo earth shattering changes. (Reporter Wu Duosi)
