How does the circuit board industry stand on the cusp of "Internet +"

Prime Minister Keqiang's 2015 government work report first proposed the concept of "Internet +". As a traditional circuit board processing industry, how can we stand on the cusp of "Internet +"?
What is the concept of "Internet +"? In layman's terms, "Internet +" means "Internet + various traditional industries", but this is not a simple addition of the two, but the use of information and communication technology and Internet platforms to deepen the integration of the Internet and traditional industries to create new Develop ecology. For example, in the 1970s, the application of integrated circuits brought earth-shaking changes in many industries. In the future, the Internet will, like the integrated circuits of the year, serve as a productivity tool that will greatly improve the efficiency of many traditional industries.

The Internet’s transformation of traditional industries did not begin today, but 2015 is destined to be the year when the Internet’s impact on traditional industries broke out. For example, in the catering industry, Chinese Internet practitioners simply put their dishes and contact information on the Internet. Do some promotion on it. In contrast, IBM's Watson supercomputer can sort all the nutrients and smells of each kind of food, and then formulate a menu to make recipes that have never been eaten before, taking into account taste and health.
As a traditional processing industry, the circuit board processing industry, under the background of "Internet +", how to seize the opportunity and get a share of the "Internet +" trend?

1: Use "Internet +" to change the traditional sales methods of circuit board manufacturers in sales channels.
For electronic companies that need to find circuit board manufacturers, the rise of the Internet makes it easier for them to find and compare suitable circuit board manufacturers. The traditional door-to-door sales method has become very inefficient under the impact of the Internet. . The operating cost of an electronic store on the Internet is far from comparable to the establishment of a physical marketing department. And it can easily realize cross-border trade. Customs statistics show that in recent years, the volume of overseas trade brought about by the Internet has continued to rise, while the sales channels that used the exhibition method have gradually lost their glorious year.
2: Use "Internet +" to allocate and optimize resources in the circuit board production process to improve efficiency and reduce costs.
The circuit board production process has many processes and a long cycle. How to use the Internet to optimize resources is a difficult problem for the circuit board production practitioners, and of course it is also an opportunity. For example: the problem of processing engineering data of customer orders is currently basically relied on manual operations by engineering and technical personnel. So in the era of Internet +, how to break the boundaries of regions and companies to achieve an optimized combination, loose piecework to gather engineers from all over the country, or to establish a professional engineering data processing center. These are all ideas that can be considered. Of course, the same is true for other circuit board production processes, such as the test part.
3: Using "Internet +", the production process and after-sale service experience of circuit board manufacturers will be better.
In the past, it was very inconvenient for customers to know the production status of the circuit boards they designed. In the "Internet +" era, customers can not only check the actual production process of the circuit boards they design, but also monitor them in real time. In this way, the customer's experience will be greatly improved, and the trust in the supplier and the stability of cooperation will also be improved. At the same time, it is also a constraint on the circuit board manufacturer. Deeper thinking can even improve the management level of circuit board manufacturers.

In short: the "Internet +" era has come, he will use a devastating way to impact the traditional circuit board processing industry, but the direction is clear, that is, the quality of the circuit board is more stable, the delivery is faster, and That is, the production cost of the circuit board is lower!
