On October 27, 2023 China Enterprise Digital Transformation Summit and SIE User Conference were held in Wuhan. The conference, with the theme of "AI driven digital innovation", invited over 1000 industry elites, business leaders, experts and scholars to gather together, focusing on AI technology and exploring the digital future together.

Chapter 1: The Rise of AI Wind

The main forum was officially kicked off by Zhang Chengkang, chairman and CEO of SIE, in his keynote speech "AI Drives Digital Intelligence Innovation". Talking about the impact of AI, he shared: "Now there are a lot of companies that have made big models. What we do is still to do what we should do around the value of customers and the industry. Our ability lies in having years of experience in the industry, combined with our understanding of AIGC, and insight into different industry scenarios to maximize the value of the industry."

In the era of AI, industries are reshaped and intelligent manufacturing is moving towards new directions. Zhang Chengkang once again reiterated the "scissors gap principle" of digitization. With the development of informatization and intelligence, on the one hand, the labor cost of enterprises continues to rise over time; On the other hand, the cost of intelligence continues to decrease over time, and when the curve of labor cost and intelligence cost reaches the intersection point, intelligence will usher in an explosion. Therefore, Zhang Chengkang stated that in the era of AI driven intelligence, we can shift the manufacturing paradigm from traditional "trial and error" based physical manufacturing to virtual manufacturing based on CPS technology, and move the manufacturing system from isolated centralized to networked collaborative open system, from traditional to intelligent, from manual operation to the Internet of Things, realizing the revolution of production tools and the transformation of production modes.

Zhang Chengkang also mentioned the three core strategies of SIE: first, to build the Gushen AIGC middle platform; Secondly, we collaborated with Huawei Cloud to develop the Pangu Manufacturing Industry Model; The third is the breakthrough in self-developed segmentation scenarios. With the development of intelligence comes the application innovation of enterprise IT and the digital transformation empowered by AI. At this year's conference, SIE Information hopes to explore the digital transformation of enterprises around AI technology together with industry partners, and explore and create value from it.

Later, Li Peigen, an academician of the CAE Member and professor of Huazhong University of Science and Technology, emphasized the importance of AI technology in the field of industrial software, especially for innovative design, manufacturing process and equipment, in his keynote speech AI and Industrial Software Development. He pointed out that it is necessary to vigorously develop software that can "define manufacturing" based on the application of AI and forward-looking big models. "Nowadays, the development of artificial intelligence has surpassed human intelligence in local fields, and some software that integrates artificial intelligence into manufacturing may completely surpass human capabilities in specific directions of manufacturing

In terms of digital transformation and integration of data and reality in the manufacturing industry, Xu Jianfeng, vice president of Huawei Manufacturing and Large Enterprise Corps, said in his speech, "Now we have entered the era of intelligent business scenarios and intelligent products. There is no doubt about the value of ecology, and we hope to work together with ecological partners to create." In the era of AI sweeping across thousands of industries, Huawei will work with its core industry partner SIE to provide digital and intelligent solutions for manufacturing enterprises, help China's manufacturing industry achieve digital and intelligent upgrading, and create a new pattern of the real economy.

A special summit dialogue session was held at the conference, attended by Zhang Chengkang, Academician Li Peigen, Zhang Chuanzong, founder and CEO of Sijiufang, and Wan Xuchang, Secretary of the Party Committee and President of Sunrise Oriental Holdings Co., Ltd. The session was chaired by Hu Haoran, the person in charge of Xinhua News Agency's Spark Action, and various parties engaged in discussions on multiple topics. On site topic voting was set up, with guests in the audience scanning codes to participate, and the voting results were presented in real-time on the large screen.

Chapter 2: Going up the ladder

Liu Weichao, Vice President of SIE and President of Digital Product BG, shared the keynote speech of "Accelerating the Integration and Innovation of" Double Span "Platforms and Boosting the Development of Digital and Intelligent Industry", and officially launched SIE Gushen Industrial Internet Platform. For 18 years, SIE has been based on the manufacturing industry, enabled economic development by digitalization, continued to deepen the needs and application scenarios of the manufacturing industry, accumulated mature experience, combined technological innovation and industry case practice, and built a Chinese independent industrial operating system, a meta model driven SIE Gushen industrial Internet platform.

Then, Yuan Haigang, chief architect of SIE Information Valley God Laboratory, released the AIGC middle platform (Shanmou GPT) focusing on the big model of enterprise service. Yuan Haigang said: "The launch of AIGC middle platform marks an important breakthrough of SIE in the field of artificial intelligence. We believe that through technological innovation, we can provide more intelligent and efficient solutions for enterprises, helping them achieve digital innovation and development. In the future, we will strengthen in-depth cooperation and research with customers from different industries, expand the application and landing of AIGC in different industries and fields, and further enhance the performance and applicability of Shanmou GPT

Later, Li Wenxian, general manager of SIE Industrial Software and IoT subsidiary and expert of Guangdong Industrial Internet Think Tank, delivered a speech "Exploring the Digital Transformation Road Based on Model Manufacturing", and released SIE Gushen MBM products. He introduced, "Our future products need to solve the problems of the entire industry chain and industrial upgrading, rather than simply considering how to improve efficiency and reduce costs. Many entrepreneurs feel that what was originally an internal problem of the enterprise has now become a problem for the upstream and downstream of the industry. Therefore, we have been thinking about how to build the next generation of products. Combining our technological characteristics with the manufacturing complexity and uncertainty problems faced by enterprises, I think there are two very important points: one is the need for data, and the other is the need for models. The Grain God MBM we have created is born from this

SIE fully embraces the AI intelligent era, uses its independent research and development capabilities and industry's deep experience to enable the industry to transform into a digital intelligent one, and helps Chinese enterprises move towards high-quality development.

In the future, facing the trend of accelerating the integration of real economy and digital technology, SIE Information will strengthen and expand intelligent manufacturing and industrial software, join hands with more enterprises to go to the AI digital wave, amplify the industry value, explore high-quality development paths, and jointly contribute to the construction of digital China.
