Recently, during the 2nd World Intelligent Manufacturing Conference in Nanjing, Professor Jian Jian, founder of Zhongkong, officially introduced the next-generation industrial operating system—supOS! This groundbreaking platform is designed to revolutionize the future of smart manufacturing by enabling seamless integration, intelligent automation, and data-driven decision-making across industries.
What exactly is supOS? It's more than just an operating system—it's a comprehensive platform that combines industrial big data integration, intelligent app development, AI-powered analytics, and edge computing capabilities. Built on a three-tier architecture—cloud, factory internet, and edge nodes—supOS enables full lifecycle management and real-time interaction between systems, making it a powerful tool for smart factories.
Zhongkong has always focused on empowering users by creating an open ecosystem where partners can leverage the value of industrial data. Through the supOS platform, features such as factory information integration, APP configuration, intelligent decision-making, and app incubation are all made available to developers and enterprises alike.
So what can supOS do for you? As a universal connector for factories, it links various information systems, automation tools, smart devices, and management software. The platform offers free development tools, SDKs, APIs, and certification services, making it easy for partners to build and configure smart industrial apps graphically. For plant managers, visual DIY tools allow for intuitive data analysis, helping to eliminate data silos, improve transparency, and boost operational efficiency.
supOS separates the platform from the applications, lowering the entry barrier for app development and fostering a thriving ecosystem. It aims to create an industrial version of the Android system and an app store tailored for smart manufacturing, driving innovation and growth in the industry.
Why is supOS needed? As industries move from Industry 3.0 to Industry 4.0, many companies still face challenges like information silos, fragmented IT systems, and difficulties in integrating production, management, and operational data. Despite having vast amounts of data, they often struggle to extract real value. The new wave of digital transformation demands integrated, intelligent solutions that support the full lifecycle of industrial data. supOS was built with these needs in mind, addressing pain points head-on.
Globally, major players like GE (Predix), Siemens (MindSphere), and ABB (Ability) have already launched their own industrial platforms, creating a competitive landscape. Zhongkong, with 25 years of technical expertise, over 10,000 user experiences, and more than 20,000 system implementations, has laid a strong foundation for the success of supOS. By focusing on factory-level information integration, supOS builds a fully connected industrial big data platform, empowering enterprises to solve complex issues in production control, management, and business operations through digital and intelligent means.
As a domestically developed industrial operating system with independent intellectual property rights, supOS is positioned as a factory-centric big data platform. It empowers users to unlock the value of industrial data, build an industrial app ecosystem, and establish itself as a globally competitive national industrial internet, big data, and AI platform.
In this age of collaboration and shared innovation, Zhongkong is joining forces with 10 strategic partners, 100 engineering service providers, and 10,000 online developers to shape the future of industrial intelligence together. Together, we are writing a new chapter in smart manufacturing.
