Global innovation, building a digital platform for automotive transformation

As a complex industry integrating R&D, manufacturing and sales, how the automotive industry builds and hone its digital capabilities has important reference significance for the entire manufacturing industry.

Wang Yanping, Vice President of H3C Group and General Manager of Enterprise Business Unit, mentioned in his speech that the scale of the domestic automobile industry continues to grow, providing consumers with diversified and personalized product choices. At the same time, the integration of the automobile industry and informatization has become closer, and the role of informatization in the strategy and manufacturing of automobile companies has become increasingly prominent. H3C looks forward to deepening collaborative innovation with a large number of partners in the automotive industry, accelerating the innovative reconstruction of the industry, and winning the future by relying on digital transformation in the entire process.

At present, H3C Group has built a comprehensive and leading digital platform for the digital transformation of the automotive industry by relying on its global digital technology innovation capabilities. In terms of network, the rise of digital twins has made industrial networks increasingly focus on experience and quality. H3C's application-driven campus network uses "intention-driven" to ensure network stability, and provides wireless, 5G, network security, edge computing and other types of solutions to help FAW Group, Dongfeng Group and many other companies build efficient intelligent networks; at the storage level, AI applications such as autonomous driving require more powerful data storage capabilities. H3C's intelligent data storage platform MAPR can provide enterprise-level distributed file systems and cloud-native storage services, which can significantly improve the speed and quality of applications such as deep learning; at the security level, H3C has launched an automotive manufacturing industrial control security solution based on the principles of "production priority, limited impact, active defense, and moderate construction", providing full-cycle services from consulting to strategy optimization, and building a complete security protection system from inside and outside the enterprise.

Together we can build a smart ecosystem for the future of automobiles

With the explosive development of technology clusters and the rapid changes in social ecology, the transformation of the automotive industry towards electrification, interconnection, sharing and automation is accelerating. This has not only had a significant impact on the technical structure of automotive products themselves, but also posed a challenge to the existing operating methods and capabilities of automotive companies. At the forum, many leading automakers demonstrated their progress in accelerating digital transformation and breaking through development bottlenecks.

New technologies, new materials and new energy have created a new era and a new pattern. The automotive industry is entering a new era of deconstruction and reconstruction. Geely Group has built a business, data and deep learning platform to undertake tasks such as autonomous driving, smart R&D, collaborative production, precise services and improved ecology, which has greatly promoted the rapid implementation of Geely Group's digital strategy; SAIC Group has taken the lead in creating the iGear AI work platform, providing innovative functions such as data screening, data annotation and model training, and realizing the allocation and management of underlying storage and GPU server clusters; Foton Motor, under the guidance of the "one cloud, four interconnections and five intelligences" strategy of the industrial Internet, has accelerated business model innovation and promoted intelligent upgrades through the iTink cloud platform and the Internet; Chongqing Xiaokang Industrial Group has adopted the industry-leading solutions of H3C Group to achieve a reshaping and breakthrough in digital manufacturing and new manufacturing, and promote the implementation of new manufacturing.
