At this event, in line with the cooperation concept of "consultation, co-construction, sharing and win-win", Chuanglian Workshop and Artificial Intelligence Association jointly signed a strategic cooperation agreement to better empower artificial intelligence enterprises in terms of industrial promotion, talent agglomeration, resource sharing, capital empowerment, etc., help enterprises embark on the fast track of development, and contribute to the construction of digital Qingdao and the world's industrial Internet capital.
At present, artificial intelligence and the real economy are widely integrated and developed, digital potential has been continuously released, and the digital economy has become the focus of national attention and major development strategies. In the 14th Five-Year Plan, digitalization has been mentioned six times, and its status can be seen. Qingdao National Artificial Intelligence Innovation and Application Pilot Zone once again clearly issued that "manufacturing is the foundation of the city, the foundation of a strong city, and the greatest confidence for the future", and it is imperative to popularize the digital transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing industry. Recently, the Qingdao Municipal Bureau of Industry and Information Technology officially issued the "Accelerate the Construction of the World Industrial Internet Capital and Implement the Special Action Plan for "Industrial Empowerment Qingdao"", indicating that it will base itself on the advantages of local manufacturing industry and use a new generation of information technology such as artificial intelligence to vigorously promote the transformation of new and old kinetic energy and the digital transformation and upgrading of enterprises, and enhance Qingdao's manufacturing competitiveness and international influence.
Gong Zheng, deputy director of the Science and Technology Department of Qingdao Municipal Bureau of Industry and Information Technology, said in his speech that artificial intelligence as a supply side has become a new general technology, and "AI+" empowers hundreds of industries, and its "+" number has far-reaching significance. Enterprise digital transformation is one of the many demand sides of artificial intelligence and has gradually become a new trend in social development. Affected by the epidemic in 2020, many enterprises have suffered heavy losses, but some companies have taken this opportunity to force technological growth to digital transformation, but instead highlighted the siege and had new development. In the future, the demographic dividend will be reduced, and the science and technology dividend will be enhanced. At present, artificial intelligence technology has entered the deep water area, and general technology has matured, and then it will gradually expand to subdivided vertical fields. Manufacturing enterprises should openly embrace artificial intelligence, solve the pain points in the production process of enterprises with new technologies, and hope that artificial intelligence enterprises can have a deeper understanding of traditional enterprise production problems and exert their greater value.
During the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, cities have increased their manufacturing capacity, and in the face of an increasingly fierce competitive environment, artificial intelligence and digital transformation have become an important starting point for Qingdao's intelligent manufacturing upgrade. In fact, the digital transformation of enterprises is a very big challenge, and in the entire process of digital development, the following three situations have plagued many enterprises: The first situation, what is the fundamental problem solved by digitalization, whether it is a technical problem, an organizational problem, or a business problem. The second scenario is how much it costs to do digitalization. Many entrepreneurs recognize the importance of digitalization, but they have to invest money to do digitalization, but they don't know how much to invest to have results. The third scenario is whether digitalization is a capability or a strategy, or an internal management approach.
Wang Yanlei, regional director of Beijing Suowei Cloud Network Technology Co., Ltd., shared: Suowei Cloud Network has always adhered to independent innovation and continuously provided the manufacturing industry with knowledge automation-driven industrial Internet, industrial operating system and industrial APP development and operation services. He has rich practical experience in the implementation of regional industrial Internet applications and the digital upgrading of enterprises. Today, from the five aspects of product, technology, equipment management, energy consumption, assets, and factory environment, we explained the digitalization of enterprises in detail. In particular, the internal and external business environment faced by manufacturing enterprises is full of variability, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity, intelligent manufacturing is a continuous evolution, iterative improvement of the system engineering, the need for artificial intelligence and other new generation of information technology and manufacturing real economy deep integration, in order to continuously promote the digital transformation and upgrading of enterprises.
Gong Lei, general manager of Qingdao Zhide Industrial Technology Co., Ltd., shared that Qingdao Zhide Industry focuses on the research and development, production and sales of industrial Internet platform, automated testing equipment, customized automation assembly line and intelligent manufacturing equipment, empowering enterprises to digitally transform and upgrade intelligent manufacturing. He analyzed the current situation and pain points of discrete manufacturing industry, showed the importance of the integration of manufacturing automation and informatization, and then demonstrated how the Zhide Industrial DIP intelligent manufacturing platform can help enterprises to transform and upgrade and transform and upgrade through cases. The integration of the two modernizations drives the digital transformation of enterprises, changing the mode of production, lifestyle and governance is the trend of the times, I believe that in the digital transformation of enterprises, everyone will have greater achievements, and will eventually become the beneficiaries of the times.
In the free communication session, everyone shared, interacted, exchanged and discussed the pain points, difficulties and opportunities and challenges faced by the digital transformation of enterprises. Have said: under the empowerment of artificial intelligence, more and more jobs are replaced by robots and intelligent brains, data is replacing experience as the key to driving the daily operation of enterprises, a new model, new formats are constantly being generated; the most fundamental reason for digital transformation is due to changes in consumption patterns, which is also a watershed in the real industrial era and digital age, a product-centric, a customer-centric. This is a fundamental change that has led to a change in our understanding of many management models, and it's important that businesses have to go digital. The acceleration of the digital age is both an opportunity and a challenge for traditional manufacturing enterprises, and we hope to be able to sort out the clues and innovate in the digital wave for better development.
Under the empowerment of artificial intelligence, the arrival of new digital production methods has accelerated, and new technologies, new industries, new models and new formats are in the ascendant. Chuanglian Workshop will continue to play the role of a bridge, link all parties of Qingdao artificial intelligence together, open up the upstream and downstream industries of the industry, unite large and medium-sized enterprises in the industry, empower enterprise development, promote the development of the artificial intelligence industry, and contribute to the construction of Qingdao's world Internet capital.
