Main Forum: Sharing Global trends focusing on manufacturing development

Expert perspective

Industrial simulation uses digital to reproduce reality, so that industrial manufacturing shuttles between virtual and real. This summit takes into account theoretical research and industry trends, and closely links technology and application. In the keynote speech session of the main forum, experts and scholars from home and abroad focused on cutting-edge development hotspots and rich application scenarios, bringing professional speeches and sharing.

Yan Jianlai, deputy secretary-general of the China Society of Automotive Engineering, shared the “Opportunities and Challenges of the new automotive Industry”, starting from the transformation and upgrading of the automotive industry with new energy and intelligent network connection as the core, taking all-solid-state battery technology and other specific industry applications as an example, to analyze the future trend of the contemporary automotive industry in a simple way.

Bruce Engelmann, Global Chief Technology Officer of Hexagon Industrial Software and a member of the US National Academy of Engineering, shared “Global Trends in Simulation Technology”. In his view, with the popularization of high-performance computing, the operation model is getting larger and more and more fidelity, and the full intervention of AI technology, the industrial simulation software market will continue to grow by orders of magnitude.

Li Yizhen, president of Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence Greater China Industrial Software Business Group, brought the theme report “Hexagon Industrial Simulation Software helps China’s intelligent Manufacturing”. Hexcon’s professional characteristic industrial Internet makes the scene refreshing. Hexcon’s innovative industrial ecology of “Industrial Internet + intelligent manufacturing” covers the industrial software system of the whole life cycle of products and widely distributed sensor technology, comprehensively enabling the interconnection and application of industrial supply chains, industry lines and even industrial clusters.
