Under the new round of technological change led by AI, the demand for computing power breaks out. As a new computing paradigm, edge computing is becoming more and more important with the advantages of low cost, high flexibility and high privacy. At the same time, with the further development of AI technology, the technology with edge AI as the core is providing strong support for the digital and intelligent transformation of thousands of industries.

On September 9, the EdgeX+OpenVINO developer Ecology Conference, an important event in the field of edge computing and artificial intelligence, was held in Shenzhen. Lenovo Group unveiled the conference and shared the landing application of Lenovo edge computing and EdgeAI small sample technology in the manufacturing industry.

Edge computing, as an important part of computing infrastructure, has a broad space for growth. Under the new IT technology framework of "end-edge-cloud-network-intelligence", Lenovo Group actively distributes edge computing under the guidance of "Puhui" computing power, and constantly promotes the innovation and application of edge computing, which provides reliable technical support and solutions for realizing a more efficient and intelligent digital transformation.

Broad prospects, Lenovo takes the lead in layout

In recent years, with the rapid development of advanced technologies such as AI, 5G, Internet of things and big data, edge computing has gradually come to the fore. According to the research of Huaxi Securities, edge computing is to use the computing power of the edge side of the network for data processing, which is to solve the disadvantages of cloud computing data processing. Compared with cloud computing, edge computing deployment has the advantages of low cost, low latency, privacy and high security.

From the perspective of the global market, the market space for edge computing is extremely broad. According to key data from STL Partners Edge Computing, an international telecom consulting firm, the potential marginal market will reach $445 billion by 2030, with a 10-year compound annual growth rate of 48 per cent. All parts of the value chain, such as edge infrastructure, applications, integration, and support, will grow during this forecast period.

China's marginal computing market also has great potential for development. According to the survey of Yiou think tank, the scale of China's edge computing market will reach 42.79 billion yuan in 2021, including 28.17 billion yuan for edge hardware market and 14.62 billion yuan for edge software and service market. It is estimated that by 2025, the market size of China's marginal computing industry will reach 198.768 billion yuan, with a compound growth rate of 46.81% from 2021 to 2025, with great potential for development.

It is worth mentioning that at the policy level, China attaches great importance to the development of marginal computing technology, and relevant supporting policies are frequent. In the Digital economy Development Plan of the 14th five-year Plan issued by the State Council, it is emphasized to strengthen the marginal computing power oriented to specific scenarios, and to strengthen the overall planning of computing power and intelligent dispatching.

Based on the broad market prospects and policy support, technology companies have laid out marginal computing. As the world's largest provider of computing infrastructure, Lenovo has built a hardware infrastructure ranging from light edge gateways to edge servers to meet a variety of edge computing needs. On top of the hardware layer, Lenovo also launched the edge computing platform edge cloud, which takes the edge as the core and provides a software-defined cost-efficient, reliable, secure, cloud-edge collaborative, remotely manageable edge computing infrastructure.

Based on the above products and services, Lenovo has created the intelligent edge computing brand "Huitian", which covers industrial controllers, embedded computers, intelligent edge gateways, edge servers and other hardware devices. It can meet the computing needs of different industries. With the support of Huitian platform, Lenovo Group has the ability to build full-cycle solutions on the edge side.

With the continuous development and application of AI technology, AI capability is gradually introduced into the field of edge computing, which gives birth to the rise of edge AI. In view of this, Lenovo Group Card Edge AI has launched the Lenovo Edge brain Edge AI platform driven by the underlying technology of AI, which can realize the whole life cycle management of AI scheme through the professional leading adaptive small sample lifelong learning technology and cloud-edge-end full scene model management system.

At present, Lenovo Group's edge computing products have been recognized by the industry authority. In the test results of the fourth batch of "Edge Computing Standard parts Plan" of the China Institute of Information and Communications, Lenovo's Huitian industrial control computer IPC-A60 and intelligent gateway ThinkEdge SE30 were successfully selected for their remarkable advantages in adapting to the harsh external environment, covering a variety of scenarios, and realizing flexible customization.

Empower a thousand industries to take the lead in the intelligent transformation

As a new computing paradigm, edge computing is widely used in various fields, such as intelligent home, intelligent transportation, intelligent manufacturing and so on, because of its unique characteristics and advantages. Edge computing provides strong support for the digital and intelligent transformation of various industries.

Wang Xiaoli, deputy secretary of the party committee of the China Academy of Information and Communications, has said that edge computing, as a convergence point of IT, CT, DT and industry OT, is the key to achieving cloud-network-edge-to-end collaborative development. Lenovo Group takes edge computing as the core of the new IT architecture, promoting the integration of end, edge, cloud and network, building industry-specific new intelligent solutions, and helping various industries to accelerate intelligent transformation.

For example, in the field of intelligent manufacturing, Lenovo Group uses edge computing solutions to help ideal cars achieve visual digital management of production lines. In the process of car construction, the ideal car was once faced with some problems, such as outdated digital infrastructure of production line, incompatibility of hardware and software, high overall cost and so on. In this regard, Lenovo Group gives full play to the advantages of edge computing infrastructure such as Huitian Industrial all-in-one machines and servers to create a series of intelligent manufacturing solutions such as visual management of production lines. to meet the daily management, decision analysis, monitoring and early warning, command and scheduling and other multi-dimensional needs of the final assembly workshop, and greatly improve the level of new car research and development and flexible manufacturing.

Based on the solution of Lenovo Group, the automation level of ideal automobile factory has been greatly improved, and the comprehensive automation rate of Changzhou factory production line has reached 78%, and the welding automation rate has reached more than 90%.

In the application of edge AI, Lenovo Group Edge Computing solution has helped Qingdao Special Steel to "smart eye" to enable the industry intelligent quality inspection. In order to solve the pain point of manual quality inspection of Qingdao Special Steel, Lenovo Group, through the deployment of edge computer and EdgeAI small sample technology, uses the identification and early warning system of computer vision technology to create "smart eye" instead of human eye quality inspection of production line monitoring workers, realize automatic identification and early warning, improve the quality of monitoring and early warning, ensure 24-hour stable and reliable monitoring, and improve the quality and efficiency of patrol inspection.

After the application of Lenovo's "Smart Eye" system in Qingdao Special Steel, the per capita efficiency has increased by 15%, the collaborative efficiency has increased by 20%, and downtime has been reduced by 15%.

Through secure, reliable, intelligent and efficient edge computing products and solutions, Lenovo Group has provided strong support for the intelligent transformation of various industries. In the future, under the guidance of the "Puhui" computing strategy, Lenovo Group will continue to increase its technological innovation and R & D efforts in the field of marginal computing, and use universally intelligent products and solutions to enable the digital and intelligent transformation of thousands of industries to a new height.
