By the way, as mentioned earlier, Panzhihua Iron and Steel Group (Pangang) has already implemented Ali Cloud Industrial Brain in Pangang as early as 2019.
At that time, artificial intelligence was used in the ironmaking process to reduce blowing loss and splashing, reduce the tfe content in the slag by 1%, and reduce the oxygen activity index by 10 ppm, which significantly reduced the loss of steel materials.
This smart factory, jointly developed by Baosteel and Huawei, is simply Huawei's culmination of smart industrial achievements in the steel sector over this period.
All of Huawei's latest achievements from previous collaborations with Liugang and Xinsteel have been applied to Baosteel's smart production base.
Baosteel's smart production base is essentially a model project for Huawei. If it proves effective and can be widely promoted across the country, then Huawei will have found a new profit growth point.
For China, this also provides another solution to the problem of young people being unwilling to work in factories.
Since it has been successfully implemented in the steel industry, we have seen broad prospects for the application of artificial intelligence in many other manufacturing industries.
If only one-tenth of the previous workforce is needed, then the welfare benefits for workers can be appropriately improved to achieve the return of manufacturing jobs.
Actually, it wasn't just Hua Wei; Ah Li also wanted to claim this title.
However, Huawei was quicker than Ali to secure a deal with Kechuang Bio for industrial VR.
Ali's smart steel production plant is already in the implementation phase, and their chosen partner is still Panzhihua Iron and Steel Group.
After all, we've been cooperating with Panzhihua Iron and Steel Group for so many years.
"The successful implementation of Baosteel's smart factory is thanks to the strong support of the two of you and the companies behind you."
The continued operation and iterative upgrades of the smart factory will rely heavily on everyone's efforts.
One of the most important reasons why Huawei chose Baosteel as its partner was that Huawei had a large number of technical personnel in Shanghai.
The number of employees at Huawei's branch office in Shenhai is second only to its headquarters in Songshan Lake.
Li Miaomiao remarked, "Huawei's technical capabilities are still quite strong."
Back then, it took Xiaomi and Tencent more than a year to develop a VR operating system.
It seems that the industrial VR operating system that Huawei developed hasn't even been used in six months.
The person in charge of Huawei was very modest: "The two have different positioning and requirements, and the development difficulty is also different."
Mr. Li, since you don't have a technical background, I'll be frank with you two.
Huawei's industrial VR operating system only needs to ensure communication stability and low latency in operation; achieving these two points is sufficient.
The futureverse, on the other hand, requires consideration of even more factors.
A VR operating system is like iOS, which needs to consider communication and entertainment, while an industrial VR operating system is like a walkie-talkie, which only needs to consider communication.
It's not that our technological capabilities are significantly superior to Tencent's or Xiaomi's.
Hua didn't want to set the bar too high, so as not to give Baosteel too much expectation.
Setting expectations too high can be awkward if they fall short later.
At times like these, what's needed is to be low-key in personal conduct but high-profile in work.
Li Miaomiao: "I see, that's really impressive."
My biggest impression after visiting Baosteel's smart factory is how fast technology has developed in recent years.
When I last visited the logistics centers in the Yangtze River Delta, I discovered that all logistics truck drivers are now being driven by artificial intelligence.
As the general manager of Kechuang Biotechnology, Li Miaomiao often needs to conduct research in the surrounding areas.
Sometimes it's not up to me; going to the logistics park is something I do when I'm accompanying a group of bigwigs on a business exchange trip between Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces.
The executives at Huawei nodded and said, "Over the years, we have simply been gradually implementing our previous accumulation in the field of artificial intelligence."
The first sector to see the implementation of autonomous driving is freight transportation, because traditional truck drivers work a maximum of twelve hours a day.
Truck drivers are not allowed to drive after 2 a.m.
Therefore, companies with high efficiency requirements will adopt a system where two truck drivers take turns driving to achieve 24-hour continuous operation.
However, this also increases labor costs, with truck drivers costing at least 15,000 yuan per month.
Now, thanks to artificial intelligence, it can operate 24/7 without human intervention.
We are also working on autonomous driving. Currently, we are mainly collaborating with China Post and China Communications Logistics on driverless vehicles.
According to the data we obtained, the postal service has reduced its logistics costs by about 50% through autonomous driving.
However, autonomous driving still needs time to mature before it can be successfully implemented in urban environments.
After all, highway and city road conditions are completely different.
Previously, the cost of logistics was labor; now, a large portion of labor costs has been converted into usage fees paid to artificial intelligence companies.
Of course, there are also costs associated with truck modifications, such as installing additional sensors, cameras, and truck communication equipment.
This is where the importance of 5G becomes apparent.
The advantages of 5G over 4G, such as lower latency, higher reliability, and lower power consumption, are essential for autonomous driving.
"I remember we once invited a computer expert who specializes in autonomous driving to give a lecture."
He said at the time that the biggest problem preventing autonomous driving from being implemented was the division of responsibility—whether it was the car manufacturer, the algorithm provider, or the driver—it was difficult to define.
Li Miaomiao mentioned that Kechuang Bio has regular internal training sessions and some open courses, all taught by top experts in their respective fields.
"That's right, driverless trucks won't have this problem."
Because there are CCTV cameras after an incident, how could an ordinary individual possibly fight against a company's legal department?
