[Beautiful China Yangtze River Tour] Intelligent manufacturing of new kinetic energy for high-quality development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt

Cctv news(Reporter Kong Hua, Gao Yuting) On April 26th, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader hosted a symposium in Wuhan to further promote the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, and clearly proposed that the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt should promote high-quality economic development.

The words of the general secretary are still in my ears. Realizing the transformation of old and new kinetic energy, the increasingly emerging intelligent industry has gradually revitalized the Yangtze River Economic Belt.

Hefei, Seize the Artificial Intelligence Highland

Located in Hefei High-tech Zone, "China Sound Valley" is the only national industrial base in China that locates the field of artificial intelligence. Iflytek, Huami Technology, Guo Dun Quantum, Lianfa Technology, Beijing Junzheng, Aerospace Information, Shenzhen Xiechuang, NXP of the Netherlands and other leading enterprises are gathered here.

After learning a large number of medical books and first-line experts’ experience, the "Xiaoyi" robot developed by Iflytek scored 456 points in the comprehensive written evaluation of the 2017 National Clinical Practitioner Qualification Examination, which not only exceeded the score of 360 points, but also ranked among the top 5% of all candidates.

Now "Xiao Yi" can help doctors to diagnose 150 common diseases, and has been "employed" in nearly 50 hospitals such as Beijing 301 Hospital, Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Shanghai Ruijin Hospital and Anhui Provincial Hospital.

In Iflytek Cognitive Intelligence Laboratory, the deep learning ability of computers or supercomputers has been able to distinguish the pronunciation of words in different contexts.

"A rabbit’s tail can’t grow, ‘ Long ’ Read chang or zhang? "

"Dad can’t lift his son because he is too heavy. Who does he mean?"

Intelligent piano capable of correcting errors

In "China Sound Valley", there are intelligent pianos that can correct errors, mice that can obey typing, and voice recording pens that can be directly converted into words & HELIP; … Many intelligent application products have entered the public life.

Supported by technologies such as speech semantics, machine vision, biometrics and deep learning, based on intelligent chips, with intelligent hardware and application services as the main contents, and around the key layout of leading industries such as intelligent terminals, Internet (wisdom)+,big data, smart cities, virtual reality and information security, "China Sound Valley" is striving to turn the artificial intelligence industry into an internationally competitive industrial cluster, with an output value of 51 billion yuan in 2017.

Wuhu, Building the Robot Capital

Eft’s display robot is carrying goods.

Eft Intelligent Equipment Co., Ltd., located in Wuhu Robot Industrial Park, is one of the largest industrial robot manufacturers in China. Robots are fully qualified for handling, painting, welding and writing.

In the production workshop of Chery, a well-known local enterprise, the painting, welding and assembly of cars have all realized robot operation. There are few workers in the fifth welding workshop of Chery Automobile, and more than 100 robots on the production line fight day and night, "working endlessly".

Zhang Wei, deputy general manager of Eft Intelligent Equipment Co., Ltd., said that last year, the sales volume of industrial robots including the automobile industry reached 120,000 to 140,000 units, and the demand increased by about 40% year-on-year. China became the largest industrial robot market in the world.

Opportunities and challenges coexist. On the one hand, the market has exploded; On the other hand, how to compete with international manufacturers on the same stage, from following to running in intelligent manufacturing, has raised the question of the times for China’s robot industry.

"In giving full play to the advantages of application, relying on overseas mergers and acquisitions to achieve key technological leapfrogging." Zhang Wei introduced that at the same time of overseas mergers and acquisitions, key core technologies such as controllers have been put into domestic production. In addition, the company has set up a research and development center in Shanghai to undertake the most advanced technologies and digest and absorb them.

Last year, more than 3,000 Eft robots entered the production lines of automobile manufacturing, household appliances, shoemaking, wine making and other industries. With BAIC’s South African production line settled, Evert robots went abroad.

Since 2013, the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Finance approved Anhui to accelerate the development of internationally competitive robot industry clusters with Wuhu as the main body, including leading enterprises in Eft, Aoyi Seiki, Cool Wow Robot and other industries. As of December 2017, there were 92 robot enterprises in Wuhu, with an industrial scale of 7.04 billion yuan. The National Wuhu Robot Industry Cluster has built eight industrial support platforms, including industrial research and expert think tank platform, technology research and development testing, investment and financing, application promotion, policies, talents, public supporting services and industrial chain supporting cooperation.

The 6,300-kilometer Yangtze River runs through 11 eastern and western provinces, nourishing more than 500 million people along the coast. How to break the old kinetic energy and cultivate new kinetic energy, so that the mother river can keep its vitality forever and the people along the coast can enjoy a better life? The "smart" industry has become the dominant option, and gradually gained a firm foothold in the Yangtze River Economic Belt, adding a touch of bright color to this green ribbon.
