How to continue writing “Extraordinary Jiangsu”?

[51CTO.com original article] On August 8, at the check-in area of ​​the Huawei Cloud City Summit 2019 Suzhou Station, many locals came to ask curiously when they saw the crowded venue: "What day is it today? Why is it so lively?" "Huawei, I know, what is the 'City Summit'?" I really want to tell them that the reason why it is so "lively" today is because today is an important day for all industry elites to gather together to create an "extraordinary Jiangsu" for ideological, technical and commercial collisions. The reason why the Huawei Cloud City Summit came to Suzhou, the "paradise on earth", not only brought important topics about 5G, cloud and intelligence, but more importantly, hoped to explore a way to help Suzhou create a new business card for high-quality development and build an "extraordinary Jiangsu" with new technologies.

What is more difficult than “leading” is “continuing to lead”

Does Jiangsu Province still need to think about the issue of "redevelopment"? I believe that the vast majority of Jiangsu people will automatically divide into two camps when hearing this:

The "head-shaking faction" sneered: Please get it clear, Jiangsu's comprehensive economic competitiveness ranks first in the country, and its per capita GDP, comprehensive competitiveness, regional development and livelihood index all rank first among all Chinese provinces. Is there any need to think about "further development"?!

The "nodding faction" nodded and smiled: It is lonely at the top, and it is really not easy to maintain the position of a leader. If the city managers do not have long-term plans, a sense of preparedness for danger in times of peace, and accurate judgment and decisive decision-making on future development, then being overtaken is a matter of minutes.

The author is on the "nodding" side, because the spirit of "seeking breakthroughs" has been deeply imprinted in the bones of Jiangsu people. Many years ago, Jiangsu Province began to lay out smart cities and industrial Internet, and it has been proved that these two moves are particularly smart. Today, Jiangsu Province is not only the province with the most smart cities, but also built a national provincial smart city cluster comprehensive access platform as early as 2012. In the industrial field, Jiangsu Province is even more dominant, and its industrial economy has always been at the leading level in the country, ranking first in the country in terms of industrial economic scale for eight consecutive years. Suzhou has made remarkable achievements. It has established a complete industrial system and a modern industrial system, with 160,000 industrial enterprises, 60,000 minimally invasive industrial enterprises, 5,416 high-tech enterprises, and a GDP of 1.86 trillion, ranking seventh among major cities in the country.

The two development directions chosen by Jiangsu have enabled Jiangsu people to taste the benefits of digitalization first. As far as smart cities are concerned, I am actually a beneficiary. My hometown is Lianyungang, Jiangsu. When I applied for a passport ten years ago, I had to submit more than ten documents, including proof of income, proof of work, household registration information, and reason for application. I went to the police station several times to get a certificate just for household registration transfer. It took two months to get a passport. But in 2018, when my passport expired and I reapplied, it only took more than ten minutes from queuing to getting the receipt. First of all, all administrative departments handle business in one hall. Secondly, all the proof materials do not need to be submitted by the person himself. The data flows directly in the information system of each department. People who apply for passports only need to enter personal information in an electronic terminal in the hall, smile at the camera, take a photo, and then wait for the confirmation letter at an administrative window to pay a passport express fee. Later, when I heard Huawei talk about "the necessity of building a new smart city with 'good governance, business development, and benefit to the people'" at a conference, I deeply agreed.

Digital Economy Era

Huawei helps Jiangsu embrace change with 5G+Cloud+AI

At present, the new generation of information technology represented by cloud computing, big data, and artificial intelligence is deepening its integration with the economy and has become an important driving force for the new generation of scientific and technological and industrial changes. Jiangsu, which has always had an international presence, has a clearer direction for its future economic development: smart cities and industrial transformation.

As Jiangsu strives to seize digital opportunities, there is a "comrade-in-arms" that must be mentioned, and that is Huawei. Huawei is not only a witness to Jiangsu's economic development, but also a participant: the two sides have developed from early communication networks to today's comprehensive cooperation in ICT construction, urban and industrial intelligence, education and technological innovation. In 2018, Jiangsu joined hands with Huawei to promote the cloud plan and implement the 365 project, that is, in the three major areas of five-star cloud enterprises, industrial Internet benchmark factories, and industrial Internet platform construction, and at the same time in six key industries, promote the construction of 50 benchmark enterprises. In the past year, Jiangsu has built 6 five-star cloud enterprises, 7 industrial Internet benchmark factories and 3 industrial Internet platforms. At the same time, Huawei has deepened cooperation with cities across the province and has also yielded very good results, including smart transportation construction and the province's industrial and information technology system.

Cai Yinghua, President of Huawei EBG China, also reviewed the cooperation process between the two parties at the summit. He said that Jiangsu is the only province in China where Huawei has invested in two research institutes. The Nanjing Research Institute has 11,000 employees and is Huawei's largest software R&D base. The Suzhou Research Institute is also planned to have a scale of 10,000 people and will be put into use in the fourth quarter of this year. Huawei has also built an Openlab in Suzhou to carry out technical docking and joint innovation with global partners including Jiangsu.

Cai Yinghua pointed out that 5G, cloud and AI are the three core engines of the intelligent era. They will bring tremendous changes and opportunities to the entire industry, and will also bring new development opportunities for the two major strategic initiatives of Jiangsu's digital development, namely smart cities and industrial transformation. "

Huawei has formed a set of the most smooth top-level design plans for how to build smart cities. From early design planning to mid-term deployment and later operations, Huawei can achieve the core hub of urban management and urban operations in Jiangsu Province through 5G connection and cloud support. In terms of industrial intelligent transformation, Huawei and Jiangsu Province have formed three regional brands and three industry brands through cooperation, but in the future, there will be more than just a 3+3 model, and there will be more industrial Internet platforms and more specific applications.

Four reasons why Huawei is the only choice

Urban intelligence + industrial Internet platform accelerates Jiangsu's digital construction

Many people may wonder why Jiangsu is willing to reach such a deep cooperation with Huawei? The author has summarized four points after comprehensive evaluation: First, the cooperation between Huawei and Jiangsu Province has been considered for long-term development from the very beginning, and has been involved since the design and planning stage. Huawei provides consulting services for the development of Jiangsu Province in the digital age like an "external brain", so the "revolutionary friendship" is naturally deeper; secondly, Jiangsu Province has a very broad vision and examines its own development from an international perspective. In this regard, Huawei, which has rich global deployment experience, can provide Jiangsu with a lot of references, helping Jiangsu's digital construction to keep up with the global pace and make forward-looking judgments; thirdly, Huawei has a strong ecological capability and deep technical accumulation in 5G, cloud, and AI. Many of the latest research results of joint innovation with customers and partners will be applied to Jiangsu's construction, allowing Jiangsu to always maintain its leading position; finally, Huawei's technology in 5G, cloud, and AI is autonomous and controllable, and can ensure end-to-end security, laying a very good security foundation for Jiangsu's digital construction.

Hu Weiqi, vice president of Huawei Cloud China, believes that when Huawei cooperates with Jiangsu enterprises and organizations, it will combine local industrial characteristics to innovate, use technology to first build infrastructure capabilities, and then build on this foundation to carry out cloud + intelligent innovative cooperation to help companies reduce costs and improve efficiency.

At present, in the field of smart cities, Huawei has been working closely with Jiangsu in the fields of medical care, water conservancy, environmental protection, etc. through the "Urban Intelligence Body": In the field of medical care, Huawei Cloud City Intelligence Body combined with 5G helped Suzhou Dushu Lake Hospital build a remote diagnosis and treatment wireless bed, which is more than 10 times faster than the traditional 4G rate. In water conservancy, Suzhou Water Affairs Bureau uses the visual analysis capabilities of the water conservancy intelligence body to identify uncivilized behaviors such as littering, and the accuracy rate has increased by 1.6 times from the original 50%; in environmental protection, Xu Mingli, vice president of Jiangsu Shencai Technology, said in his speech that with the help of Huawei, they have established a more complete ecological environment digital management product ecosystem, enabling more service applications to be put on the cloud, relying on Huawei Cloud to provide more convenient, faster, and more efficient product services and experiences, helping to increase the proportion of excellent surface water by more than 10%.

In the field of industrial Internet, Huawei has built the FusionPlant "fertile soil" industrial Internet platform based on Huawei Cloud based on its own practices, and worked with partners to provide customers with industrial full-scenario solutions to help industrial enterprises improve quality, reduce costs, and increase efficiency. Taking the energy industry as an example, Huawei and Trina Solar jointly built an industrial Internet platform for the energy industry, outputting EL defect intelligent recognition capabilities through cloud services, using AI to replace workers for EL defect detection, improving the quality of EL component products, and reducing the missed detection rate to nearly 0%, saving 4/5 of labor costs.

In my opinion, it is not just Jiangsu. Many provinces, cities, industries and enterprises have reached the crossroads of transformation. The huge digital demand of Jiangsu Province cannot be met by Huawei alone, but if there are more companies like Huawei and more new forces in the construction of the digital economy, then Jiangsu will continue to write an extraordinary story. This beautiful future is definitely not far away.
