In order to continue to promote the development of intelligent manufacturing, Intel helped Lenovo build the Lenovo (Tianjin) Smart Innovation Service Industrial Park. In the process of building this 5G smart factory, the two parties made full use of green energy technology and green construction technology to optimize the construction and operation plan in terms of intelligent manufacturing, intelligent quality, and smart logistics, and created a highly automated, fully intelligent replicable and zero-carbon intelligent manufacturing solution for the industry.

In recent years, the integration of digital and intelligent technologies with the manufacturing industry has deepened, and advanced technologies represented by 5G are bringing new changes to the manufacturing industry with strong potential and integration effects. According to IHS Markit**, by 2035, 5G will create 13$1 trillion in economic output, of which intelligent manufacturing will contribute more than 1 3 of the total economic output.
Dr. Yu Zhang, Chief Technology Officer of Intel China's Network and Edge Business Unit and Senior Chief AI Engineer at Intel, said: "For a long time, Intel has been deeply involved in the manufacturing industry, and has been building IT&OT&CT convergence solutions for intelligent manufacturing based on software-defined and sustainable network and intelligent edge infrastructure, helping ecosystem partners including Lenovo build future factories and promote the digital transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing industry. ”
With a diverse portfolio of networking and intelligent edge products and end-to-end total solutions, Intel delivers critical value to drive sustainable, intelligent transformation in the industry. For example, because network infrastructure is critical to sustainability, Intel offers Intel Xeon Scalable processors with integrated VRAN boost, capable of delivering twice the capacity without increasing power consumption and additional energy savings of up to 20% to meet critical performance, scaling, and energy efficiency requirements. In addition to providing hardware computing platforms that can meet the requirements of harsh industrial environments, Intel also integrates emerging edge computing technologies, artificial intelligence, robotics, machine vision, highly reliable network interconnection, and industrial software with traditional industrial automation systems based on software such as Industrial Edge Insight Platform (EII), Industrial Edge Control Platform (ECI), and OpenVINO, supplemented by a full range of industry chain support, integrating tools such as emerging edge computing technologies, artificial intelligence, robotics, machine vision, highly reliable network interconnection, and industrial software with traditional industrial automation systems to build future smart factories with ecosystem partners.
The Lenovo (Tianjin) Smart Innovation Service Industrial Park project, which is based on Intel's software and hardware product portfolio, fully implements the original intention of "zero carbon road, green road", and strives to build a highly information-based and intelligent industry benchmark industrial park integrating manufacturing, R&D experiments, and digital display. The project will not only help the plant improve production efficiency, optimize logistics management, improve safety monitoring, and reduce maintenance costs, but also enable automated production, remote operation and monitoring, data analysis and optimization, and human-robot collaboration to significantly improve the efficiency, quality, and flexibility of the production line.
Dr. Tong Li, Chief Researcher of Lenovo Group and Senior Director of the Cloud-Network Convergence Business Unit, said: "With the acceleration of intelligent upgrading of the manufacturing industry, the integration of IT, OT, and CT has become the general trend. Lenovo's 5G+ manufacturing solution is based on NFV technology, based on general-purpose hardware, and implements network functions in the form of software, so that customers can easily achieve stable and reliable network functions on the basis of existing computing facilities at the minimum cost, and effectively apply them to the core links of production and operation. The Tianjin Innovation Industrial Park is the culmination of this technological concept and a series of innovative achievements. We are pleased to continue to work with Intel to create classic '5G+' solutions and promote the transformation and upgrading of Made in China." ”
In this process, Intel will continue to accelerate the integration of data and reality with the "five super technical forces" represented by ubiquitous computing, ubiquitous connectivity, cloud-to-edge infrastructure, artificial intelligence, and sensing and sensing, and cooperate with more upstream and downstream ecological partners in the industrial chain, including Lenovo, to fully empower thousands of industries, including manufacturing, and contribute to the construction of digital China.
