[Qingdao, China, July 30, 2019] Haier, China Mobile, and Huawei jointly
launched the world's first AI+5G interconnected factory at the 2019 World
Industrial Internet Conference (WIIC) in Qingdao. This improvement refines
future smart manufacturing by innovating and transforming enterprise
organizations, business models, and ICT technologies, and integrating key
technologies such as AI and 5G.
China Mobile Shandong and Huawei helped complete 5G base station deployment
for Haier's interconnected factory in Zhongde Industrial Park, Huangdao
District, Qingdao on June 13, 2019. The official release of the AI+5G
interconnected factory provides an example for future AI+5G technologies and
their facilitation of the interconnected factory transformation and upgrade.
More scenario-based IoT intelligent products, smart portfolio solutions, and
AI-enabled applications can be explored using data-based simulation modeling and
verification, efficient production collaboration, and precise quality control.
This optimizes productivity with improved production efficiency, reduced
manufacturing costs, and a reduced rate of storage, establishing competitive
advantages in smart manufacturing.
AI+5G improves efficiency of the interconnected factory
The advent of 5G lays a solid network foundation for networked, digital, and
intelligent upgrades of manufacturing and interconnected factories, provides a
reliable and predictable network environment, and meets differentiated and
deterministic network requirements of the industry. By leveraging key
technologies such as Cloud Native, dynamic intelligent network slicing, and
heterogeneous ultra-performance MEC, the 5G deterministic network provides
differentiated+deterministic network service capabilities. It constructs an
intelligent manufacturing system for complex scenarios, such as 5G+intelligent
devices, 5G+machine vision, and 5G+AR man-machine collaboration. The intelligent
manufacturing system is fully aware of process information. It can make
decisions by itself, considering system-wide elements, and self-adapts to and
learn from new conditions in real or near-real time through self-iteration.
Launch ceremony of the world's first AI+5G interconnected
factory
Some of the notable names to attend and participate in the launch ceremony of
the world's first AI+5G interconnected factory include Zhang Weijie, the
Executive Director of Haier Institute of Industrial Intelligence, Wang Xiang
Jun, General Manager of Haier Special Refrigeration Appliance Co., Ltd, Shang
Yanming, Deputy General Manager of Qingdao Branch of China Mobile, and Dr.
Weilan Huang, Senior Director of 5G Industry Development Strategy from Huawei
Cloud Core Network.
In the next phase, the three parties will continue to deepen their
cooperation. With the help of the world's first AI+5G interconnected factory,
they will continue to innovate, seize opportunity for scientific innovation of
the world-class industrial Internet ecosystem, and effectively support the
sustainable development of industrial Internet and smart
manufacturing.
