Faced with the individual needs of different work environments, Dell Latitude can quickly adapt to help users break through the difficulties and quickly get to work.

When you think of a factory, what comes to mind?

Giant chimneys with smoke, machines that roar as they run? Or do workers do the same things over and over again on the assembly line? The wave of digital transformation is rolling in, intelligent manufacturing has become the only way for the development of manufacturing, and such factories have gradually entered the history.

Intelligent transformation and upgrading is the key to the development of the manufacturing industry.

The door of Industry 4.0 has been opened, and China’s intelligent manufacturing is facing unprecedented opportunities. Intelligent manufacturing, which deeply integrates new generation information technology and advanced manufacturing technology, has become an important pillar of the real economy. Under the driving force of intelligent manufacturing, the productivity of manufacturing enterprises will also advance by leaps and bounds, which has an irreplaceable role in creating the core competitiveness of the manufacturing industry and realizing the strategic goal of manufacturing power.

01Intelligent transformation of the road “runner”

As China enters a new stage of intelligent manufacturing, in order to break the data barriers on the industrial chain, enterprises must carry out “intelligent transformation”, that is, intelligent transformation and digital transformation of the manufacturing industry.

However, such a simple concept, the process of practice is a tough battle. Not only does it require huge investment, but it also requires patience to see results. This has also led to the situation that some manufacturing enterprises are progressing smoothly in automation, but are struggling in intelligence.

The process of intelligent transformation of the manufacturing industry is like a marathon, “some people may give up halfway, and some will insist on running the whole way to the end, and the end may be endless.” — Zhao Lina, general manager of AU Digital Technology Services (Suzhou) Co., LTD., used a very vivid metaphor to introduce this process to us.

In the course of this marathon, AU Digital defines itself as a “companion runner” – providing strong support for the intelligent transformation of manufacturing enterprises as a partner. As a wholly-owned subsidiary of AU Optronics, AU Digital brings together AU Optronics’ rich experience in digital transformation and has successfully helped more than 700 customers in 34 industries to successfully implement intelligent transformation and digital transformation.

Zhao Lina introduced to us that in AUO’s daily work, whether business personnel travel, teleconference, mobile office, or information department software development, operation and maintenance, laptop computers are irreplaceable productivity tools.

Digital transformation has enabled manufacturing companies to increase their requirements for remote collaboration efficiency. Zhao Lina believes that a good PC can become a booster of work efficiency, and stability is the primary standard of PC. As an enterprise manager, for Zhao Lina, meetings have become a daily routine, both inside and outside the park, there are always online and offline meeting communication, fortunately, the right hand of Latitude, not only easy to carry, but also provide innovative design especially for online meetings.

Before a meeting starts, Zhao can tap shortcuts on the Latitude 9440 trackpad to instantly access an online meeting, share a screen, switch a dialog box, or switch the microphone on or off, all with a single tap of the trackpad, which is easier than keyboard shortcuts. In the face of noise in different environments of the campus, Latitude’s intelligent noise reduction function can effectively remove, wherever she goes, the progress of the meeting will not be delayed because of unclear voice, stable network performance, but also let her go to any place in the campus, can quickly and seamlessly switch to the on-site Wi-Fi network, never break the line.
