Established in 1958 in Chengdu, Dongfang Electric has formed an industrial pattern of "six electricity and six industries", covering the production and manufacturing of six kinds of power generation equipment.

"This year, Sichuan proposed to accelerate the pace of transformation of the" smart number ", which promoted the transformation and upgrading of the equipment manufacturing industry."

Zhang Yanjun introduced that in recent years, the continuous maturity and application of 5G technology has promoted more intelligent and automated equipment manufacturing and injected new vitality into the equipment manufacturing industry.

At the same time, the superposition of artificial intelligence and 5G has accelerated the transformation of the equipment manufacturing industry, especially discrete manufacturing enterprises to high-end, green and intelligent.

Compared with other industries, it is more difficult for the equipment manufacturing industry and intelligent transformation as an industrial mother machine. Combining artificial intelligence technology and equipment manufacturing processes to create advanced intelligent manufacturing systems and implement applications has become the key to tackling tough problems.

Zhang Yanjun proposed that the intelligent manufacturing system should be combined with virtual and real, that is, digital twins and physical manufacturing equipment should be combined to build an efficient and safe,

green and low-carbon intelligent manufacturing system. Since 2016, Dongfang Electric has embarked on the transformation of intelligent manufacturing, and the identification rate of small-hole spermatron welding defects in intelligent inspection has reached more than 99%.

In terms of intelligent detection, machine learning and artificial intelligence technology are combined through machine vision and data analysis; In terms of warehousing, artificial intelligence technology enables efficient material distribution between warehouses, shelves and material levels to improve transfer efficiency.

At present, Dongfang Electric is developing an intelligent combustion optimization system to minimize the impact of solid particles in the production process. However, due to the complexity of the coal combustion process in the equipment manufacturing industry, there is no accurate data model to calculate the coal combustion process.

"This shows that the deep integration of AI and equipment manufacturing still needs more exploration." Zhang Yanjun said.

Service end consumer

"As a technology enterprise, iFlytek is more about enabling technology applications to various industries such as education and medical care, while benefiting end consumers." Said Ren Ping Ping, vice president of iFlytek Co., LTD.

In the field of education, IFLYtek collects students' learning data through some terminal devices, and then recommends the best learning path to students according to the learning data, the course outline, and the concept of teaching students according to their aptitude.

Iflytek has done a large-scale randomized controlled experiment, selecting more than 30 students from different regions and schools with different proportions of education funds as samples,

each school selected a class assigned with artificial intelligence devices for learning, and the other class as a reference group for control learning for up to one year. The results found that the average score of students in the class with artificial intelligence devices increased by about 3 points, which is equivalent to about 30 grade rankings.

"The analysis found that the use of AI devices would be more helpful for children in the bottom third of achievement, and more valuable in places where financial investment in education is relatively weak."

Ren Pingping said that after analysis, the application of artificial intelligence technology in the education sector has great value for students to improve their performance and learning efficiency, as well as future education equity.

Iflytek also empowers the medical industry with artificial intelligence technology, providing artificial intelligence assistants for grassroots doctors in more than 400 districts and counties across the country to help improve the level of local diagnosis and treatment services.

At the same time, open a number of technologies to partners, there are now about 4 billion terminal devices in the market every day using iFlytek voice and translation technology.

Ren Pingping said that IFlytek hopes that artificial intelligence will form a complete industrial ecology around the technology industry, continue to play the advantages of language exchange, and promote the future globalization of the enterprise.

Resurgence:
Start a new cycle of change

Cui Li, chief development officer of ZTE Corporation, said that from a technical point of view, the core of AI is algorithm, computing power and data, and the basis of intelligence is "digitalization + networking + low carbonization",

which requires deep integration and efficient collaboration between AI and big data, 5G and light access, data exchange, computing power network, material technology, embodied robots and other technologies.
