Recently, the Shandong Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology released the first batch of “artificial intelligence + manufacturing” pioneer applications in Shandong Province for cultivation. Weifang City was successfully selected based on its strong foundation in the machinery manufacturing industry, marking that Weifang City is at the forefront of the province in promoting the deep integration of artificial intelligence and manufacturing.
Weifang is a large industrial city with two national-level advanced manufacturing clusters: power equipment and intelligent agricultural machinery. Its industrial strength ranks among the top in the province.
This unveiling focuses on the machinery manufacturing industry, which has a solid industrial foundation and rich application scenarios, providing good conditions for the in-depth application of artificial intelligence.
Weifang’s machinery manufacturing industry has a long history and profound foundation, and many companies have accumulated rich experience and technology in the long-term development process.
As one of Weifang’s pillar industries, the power equipment industry has high visibility and competitiveness in both domestic and foreign markets.
The intelligent agricultural machinery industry is also constantly innovating and developing, providing strong support for agricultural modernization.
This successful selection is a full affirmation of Weifang City’s long-term efforts in the digital transformation of the manufacturing industry and its active layout of the artificial intelligence track.
In recent years, Weifang City has thoroughly implemented the strategic deployment of the “number one project” of the industrial economy, vigorously promoted the “artificial intelligence + manufacturing” action, and cultivated a group of chain owners, leading enterprises and a team of empowered service providers who “understand intelligence and are familiar with the industry”, and the industrial ecology has become increasingly complete.
These companies have played an important role in the application and innovation of artificial intelligence technology, promoting the upgrading and development of the entire industry.
In the next step, Weifang City will establish a special work promotion mechanism headed by city leaders, and introduce supporting support policies around the guarantee of funds, talents, computing power and other factors. Guided by leading enterprises such as Weichai Power, Weifang will accelerate the in-depth integration of artificial intelligence and machinery manufacturing to ensure that the task of unveiling the list is completed on schedule with high quality.
At the same time, Weifang City will take this opportunity to accelerate the creation of a number of industry-influential benchmark application scenarios and large-model agent results, and contribute Weifang models to the province’s integrated development of “artificial intelligence + manufacturing”.
In terms of funding, the government will increase investment in related projects and support enterprises in the research, development and application of artificial intelligence technology.
In terms of talents, cooperation with universities and scientific research institutions will be strengthened to cultivate and introduce a group of high-quality artificial intelligence professionals.
In terms of computing power, a more efficient computing platform will be built to provide strong support for the development of artificial intelligence.
In short, Weifang City was selected into the first batch of “artificial intelligence + manufacturing” pioneer applications in Shandong Province for cultivation, which is an important opportunity for the development of its machinery manufacturing industry and artificial intelligence.
It is believed that with the support of the government and the efforts of enterprises, Weifang City will achieve more significant results in the integrated development of artificial intelligence and manufacturing, and make greater contributions to the transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing industry in the province and even the country.
