As a core component of national competitiveness, industry also serves as the primary driver sustaining China’s rapid economic growth. With socioeconomic development, labor costs continue to rise, market expectations for product quality keep increasing, personalized consumer demands have become a prevailing market trend, and environmental standards for energy conservation and emission reduction are being continuously upgraded. Consequently, the industrial manufacturing sector faces immense pressure to reduce costs and improve efficiency, alongside strong momentum for intelligent transformation. A new wave of large-scale industrial intelligence—characterized by new efficiencies and new industrial paradigms—has arrived, ushering in significant development opportunities and the broadest application scenarios for artificial intelligence (AI) in the industrial sector. The convergence of next-generation AI technologies with modern industry has created the most promising prospects for industrial intelligence, marking a critical turning point for industry-wide upgrading.
Amidst these opportunities, industrial intelligence also faces greater challenges and difficulties. Variations in business characteristics across manufacturing subsectors, differences in processes between process industries and discrete industries, disparities in data availability and technological complexity, the distinct nature of every production scenario and node, and differing demands for intelligent transformation across industries all raise the threshold and difficulty of advancing industrial intelligence. These factors also impose higher requirements on domain expertise and the ability to integrate upstream and downstream resources within the industry.
New Opportunities, New Challenges, and a New Future. It is foreseeable that the 2.0 era of the Industrial Internet of Things—the Era of Industrial Intelligence—will usher in an efficient future characterized by accurate understanding, precise decision-making, and automated execution.
BV Baidu Venture Capital will host the 2019 International Industrial Intelligence Conference—暨 Greater Bay Area Industrial AI Summit in Guangzhou Development District on March 22. With an international perspective and rooted in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, we will join forces with government officials, scholars, experts, major industrial corporations, leading solution providers, and outstanding innovative enterprises to engage in a series of exchanges, discussions, and brainstorming sessions on technology, products, and solutions. These dialogues will cover the intelligent transformation of the industrial sector, ranging from macro trends to micro-level implementation, from AI technologies to practical applications, and from process optimization to system reengineering. We cordially invite you to Guangzhou, the beautiful southern city boasting China’s most complete industrial system, to jointly shape a promising future for industrial intelligence.
