Qin Xiaodong, chief architect of Lenovo's manufacturing industry, said at this event that on the basis of its own best practices and based on the intelligent transformation framework, Lenovo launched the enterprise intelligent maturity model and constructed the transformation "coordinate system". It provides a reference for the intelligent transformation of thousands of industries, including the manufacturing industry, and accelerates the process of digital-reality integration in our country. Lenovo can provide detailed intelligent maturity diagnosis reports, related consulting and specific practical services for enterprises looking forward to transformation, and extend to the design, delivery, operation and maintenance of solutions. Data show that Lenovo has helped more than 500 domestic enterprises successfully embark on the road of intelligent transformation.

Embracing the big model, AI blessing drives the transformation and upgrading of manufacturing to a new level.

In view of the background of the current outbreak of the big model, participants unanimously said that the big model will promote the manufacturing industry to create new application scenarios and business models, and should actively embrace the big model with an open attitude, quickly make up for the shortcomings, and narrow the gap with foreign countries in technological innovation and application.

Dong Kai, director of the Science and Technology Department of Saadi Research Institute of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said in a speech that high-end, intelligent and green have become the three important features of the new type of industrialization. The core of intellectualization is to further promote intelligent manufacturing engineering and promote the intelligent transformation of manufacturing industry. He specifically mentioned that the AI + big model is a particularly promising direction in the future.

Wu Ruikun, deputy general manager of the Zhongke Yungu Technology Center, believes that the excellent scene ability and achievements of the new generation industrial Internet platform cannot be separated from the support of the AI model and the hybrid model. " Zhongke Yungu new generation platform combines the real needs of the industrial chain and business scenarios to create a hybrid model of AI large, medium and small models. All kinds of models perform their own functions to achieve in-depth data and AI hybrid applications, driving enterprises to improve the level of intelligent operation. " He said.

When talking about the challenges faced by the application of small samples and large models, Ye Yongjiang, vice minister of digital and intelligent manufacturing technology of Dongfang Motor, pointed out that "in the face of problems such as sample quality, landing of industrial scenes, and data security, enterprises need to solve the problem pertinently." As the application of the AI model causes the demand for computing power to double every 3-4 months, most enterprises do not have the ability to invest too much in computing power. "to make a qualitative change in the industrial chain, we need to gather the strength of the whole industrial chain, or even the power of the society or the government, to enhance the scale of computing power and jointly create a better environment suitable for the industry ecology." He said.

"what worries us most about the landing of the large model is that the accuracy of the machine learning model can not meet the logic, rigor and causality of the industrial scene." Tong Xing, director of artificial intelligence of Zhongke Yungu in Zoomlion, said that in order to meet these conditions, Zhongke Yungu first launched a model reasoning framework with knowledge as the core, allowing the model to improve its accuracy as much as possible. add domain knowledge and specific scene constraints when reasoning and decision-making. Secondly, expand the hardware as much as possible within the limited conditions, and make full use of cloud resources, on the basis of software and hardware upgrades, optimize the algorithm to maximize the use of these resources.

Lenovo also puts forward two sample techniques: large model and small model. " Qin Xiaodong said in the exchange that Lenovo focused on solving the problems of small sample data, difficult model training and slow scene adaptation in the manufacturing field, and independently developed a small sample lifelong learning technology based on Lenovo limbic brain Edge AI. On the basis of pre-training industry model, this technology only needs a small number of samples and can quickly train the model and put into corresponding scene tasks in a few hours, which solves the problem of factory AI quality inspection. At present, Lenovo small sample lifelong learning has been installed in Lenovo industrial computers, workstations, servers and other hardware products, and has been widely used in defect detection scenarios, including new energy batteries, bearing testing, non-woven testing, 3C electronics, pharmaceuticals, home appliances and other products.

As the third largest AI infrastructure and server supplier in the world, Lenovo is also providing full-stack intelligent products and solutions for the industry. Among them, Lenovo AI-oriented infrastructure from the edge to the data center, from small-scale reasoning to ultra-large-scale training, from tens of millions of parameters to hundreds of billions of parameters, realizing the global coverage of cloud and edge. The native solution service of AI, supported by Lenovo brain, Lenovo Hybrid Cloud Lenovo xCloud, and Smart Computing Center solutions, can empower a variety of industries and accompany customers in the process of intelligent transformation throughout the cycle.

The premise of intelligent transformation of manufacturing industry is to build a more agile and efficient "digital base". On the one hand, it can help improve quality and efficiency, create operational value, and on the other hand, it can accelerate integration into the global industrial chain and forge global competitiveness. At the salon, Lenovo also shared the practice and experience of Lenovo's overall SAP solution in helping to create an intelligent transformation "digital base".

In the era of AI model, thousands of industries, including manufacturing, are embracing new technologies with a more positive and open mind and accelerating the transformation of intelligence. As a typical representative of the "double real enterprise", Lenovo will also explore the infinite possibility of intelligent transformation together with partners through the full-stack intelligent layout, and continue to inject new momentum into the industry and industrial change.
