Huawei and Yingke jointly launch the petrochemical smart factory 2.0 construction platform

Huawei (hereinafter referred to as Huawei), a leading global information and communication solution provider, and Sinopec Yingke Information Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Sinopec Yingke), the main force in the informatization and intelligent construction of China's process industry, jointly launched an intelligent manufacturing platform for the petrochemical industry. This is the first important joint innovation achievement achieved by Sinopec Yingke and Huawei after the two parties signed a strategic cooperation agreement. It is also the core content of the construction of Sinopec Smart Factory 2.0, which fully reflects the eight core capabilities of centralized integration, Internet of Things access, IT control, optimization, shared services, data processing and analysis, and artificial intelligence. In the future, it will become the "operating system standard" for intelligent manufacturing in process industries.

Li Defang, Director of the Information Management Department of China Petrochemical Corporation (Sinopec), Chairman of Sinopec Yingke, Qi Xuezhong, CEO of Sinopec Yingke, Liu Chao, Vice President of Huawei Enterprise BG China, and Yao Kang, Director of the Large Enterprise Business Department of Huawei Enterprise BG China, attended the press conference together.

Director Li Defang fully affirmed the cooperation results of both parties over the past years. He said that with the joint efforts of Sinopec Yingke, Huawei and the vast number of partners, and with the strong support of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission and other ministries and commissions, the road of joint innovation will become wider and wider, and the results of intelligent manufacturing will become more and more. With the deepening of cooperation, the intelligent manufacturing technology created by both parties will be combined with Sinopec's advanced technologies such as technology research and development, design and construction, and production operations to form core technologies and complete solutions for the petrochemical industry with international competitiveness, which will become the "new business card" of Chinese enterprises in "going global" and the construction of the "Belt and Road".

Qi Xuezhong, CEO of Sinopec Yingke, delivered a keynote speech at the press conference. He pointed out that in the "Made in China 2025" officially released by the State Council, it is clearly stated that the intelligent manufacturing project is one of the five key projects, requiring the vigorous promotion of the intelligent manufacturing process and the pilot construction of intelligent factories and digital workshops in key areas. The "Guiding Opinions of the State Council on Actively Promoting the "Internet +" Action" subsequently issued proposed "Internet +" collaborative manufacturing, requiring the development direction of intelligent factories, the development of intelligent manufacturing pilot demonstrations, the effective support of the intelligent transformation of the manufacturing industry, and the construction of an open, shared, and collaborative intelligent manufacturing industry ecosystem. The deep integration of the two is the strategic commanding heights for building a manufacturing power, and the construction of intelligent factories is an important focus of the deep integration of the two.

Huawei and Sinopec Yingke launched the Smart Factory Co-creation Solution to jointly build a leading smart manufacturing platform in the petrochemical industry. The solution integrates process control and equipment such as DCS, PLC, RFID, mobile terminals, industrial wearable devices, detectors, analyzers, etc., integrates Huawei's leading ICT technology, and relies on the intelligent platform to launch multiple solutions such as online optimization of energy production and consumption, intelligent scheduling and command, intelligent analysis of equipment operation, and intelligent supervision of safety and environmental protection. The solution is based on the Internet of Things, cloud platform, and big data as a technical foundation, and uses workflow, optimization calculation, knowledge base, report service, rule service, log service, etc. as technical means to provide scheduling, early warning, factory monitoring, production forecasting and other business services, thereby enhancing the intelligent production and operation capabilities of petrochemical enterprises in building comprehensive perception, optimization and coordination, prediction and early warning, and scientific decision-making, and supporting the production and operation of enterprises to achieve intelligent online control, visualization of production processes, integrated management and control, and optimal operation status.

The solution incorporates a number of Huawei's leading technologies:

Huawei's dedicated cloud is a dedicated virtualized resource pool isolated on Huawei's public cloud. In the dedicated cloud, users can apply for exclusive physical devices, exclusive computing and network resources, and use reliable distributed storage. It is safe, reliable, flexible, and easy to use.

Data access service builds data stream pipelines for custom applications that process or analyze streaming data. It can continuously capture, transmit, and store TB of data from several IoT platforms every hour. Its characteristics are permanent online, which can perform real-time data processing; unlimited expansion, the throughput of data streams can be expanded from several MB to several TB per hour, and the transmission records can be expanded from thousands to millions per second; easy to use, you can create data streams in seconds, easily put data into the stream, and build applications for data processing; safe and reliable, it can synchronously replicate streaming data across multiple available areas to prevent data loss in the event of application failure, individual machine failure, or facility failure.

Artificial intelligence brings together a large number of Huawei's high-quality distributed algorithms, and has built-in rich data preprocessing, feature engineering, machine learning, graph computing, and text analysis algorithms. It can efficiently build machine learning models with tens of millions of dimensional features, efficiently complete graph computing at the scale of hundreds of millions of nodes, and conduct topic analysis on massive text data. It is intelligent, efficient, open, and easy to use.

Multi-dimensional interactive analysis services and EB-level data analysis engine services make it easy for users to use existing business intelligence tools (BI, Dashboard, interactive analysis) to quickly analyze massive data. Innovative technologies such as multi-dimensional indexing, column storage, data compression, and column clusters are used to help directly locate data, greatly reducing the I/O consumption caused by traditional scans.

Sinopec Yingke and Huawei's cooperation history

Pan Aihua, Deputy Director of Raw Materials Department of MIIT, Wang Xujun, Director of Information Center of SASAC, Li Defang, Director of Information Management Department of Sinopec, and other leading experts who attended the meeting spoke highly of the construction of Sinopec smart factories and the innovation of smart manufacturing platforms, believing that this is an important measure to promote the deep integration of informatization and industrialization and implement the strategy of building a strong manufacturing country from the perspective of the industry and the country. It is believed that with the continuous deepening of joint innovation and practice in the field of petrochemicals, Sinopec Yingke and Huawei will join hands to become the leader of "China's Intelligent Manufacturing" and jointly create a Chinese brand of process industry intelligent manufacturing.

In Sinopec, Huawei's SAP HANA server built Sinopec's largest single-node HANA cluster project. Huawei storage and servers have become Sinopec's main suppliers, and Huawei's cloud computing is used in the group's secure desktop cloud. We believe that with the successful launch of the joint innovation conference and the continuous innovation and practice of both parties in the petrochemical field, Huawei will surely join hands with Yingke to become the leader of "China's Intelligent Manufacturing".
