As one of the world’s leading companies in industrial automation, informatization and digital transformation, Rockwell Automation was invited to attend the 2023 World Artificial Intelligence Conference. During the conference, Shi An, president of Rockwell Automation (China) Co., LTD., delivered a speech at the Intelligent Trend Forum and the Intelligent Manufacturing Integration Innovation Forum. With the theme of “Cross-border dimension Enhancement Enabling high-quality development of manufacturing industry”, he discussed with industry partners the many challenges faced by manufacturing industry in the era of artificial intelligence, and shared how to build cross-border ecology through digital intelligent technology innovation. Promote the green transformation of different industries and accelerate the cross-border upgrading of small and medium-sized enterprises, and work together to continue to empower the green and high-quality development of China’s manufacturing industry.

The net zero future coordinates are anchored by numerical intelligence strength

The collaborative transformation of digitalization and greening will play an important role in the process of high-quality development of China’s economy. In the “14th Five-Year Plan for National Informatization”, it is proposed that “digitalization leads green, and green drives digitalization.” As a leader in intelligent manufacturing and green technology, Rockwell Automation adheres to the sustainable development SEEE value of Safety, Energy saving, Environmental protection and Efficiency, and gives full play to its technical advantages in the field of digital intelligence. Connect various ecological partners to share opportunities and embrace a net-zero future together.

Through many innovative technologies including IT/OT (information technology/operations technology) integration with artificial intelligence, Rockwell Automation has successfully promoted local partners in different industries such as Nanjing Puyuan and Diqing Nonferrous Metals to realize digital intelligent transformation and upgrading, helping them improve production efficiency and optimize energy consumption performance. Rockwell Automation also recently launched the Rockii Net-Zero Net Zero solution, which includes four directions: carbon assessment, carbon reduction, carbon offset and carbon certification counseling, providing customers with a full range of consulting services on carbon inventory, carbon footprint, carbon management system and zero carbon planning, helping local partners to more comprehensively move towards green intelligent manufacturing. Accelerate the realization of the “dual carbon” goal.

“As green and low-carbon has become a must for the development of different industries, we believe that digital sustainable development will become a key track for industrial competition in different fields in the future.” Shi An, president of Rockwell Automation (China) Co., LTD., said, “When many companies set the trajectory of low-carbon digital development, the future coordinates are anchored by building sustainable beacon factories.” At present, Rockwell Automation is working with partners to promote the staggered and innovative integration of artificial intelligence and other technologies in different industry application scenarios, and build a sustainable lighthouse factory, with a view to leading more ecosystem partners to accelerate the transformation of digital intelligence through this industry “benchmark” initiated and selected by the World Economic Forum (WEF). Promote sustainable and high-quality development of various industries in China. It is worth mentioning that, upholding the concept of “big picture, small start”, Rockwell Automation believes that the cross-border upgrading of smes will become one of the important factors in the process of digital intelligence to promote a sustainable future.

Promote the cross-border upgrading of small and medium-sized enterprises with profound accumulation

According to the data, by the end of 2021, China’s small and medium-sized enterprises accounted for 99%. In November 2022, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of China issued the Guide for Digital Transformation of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises, further proposing to promote digital transformation to enhance the comprehensive strength and core competitiveness of small and medium-sized enterprises. Therefore, accelerating the digital and green transformation of smes and helping them achieve the upgrading of “specialized and innovative” will play an important role in building internationally competitive digital industrial clusters in the Chinese market and accelerating the process of moving towards a net-zero future for manufacturing.

With more than 30 years of deep cultivation in the Chinese market, Rockwell Automation has accumulated a large number of advanced experience in digital intelligence in different industries, and is committed to applying it in the construction of cross-border ecology and demonstration application scenarios, and then promote cross-border innovation of smes in multiple dimensions through digital technology and cross-industry application scenarios.

On the one hand, Rockwell Automation focuses on accelerating technology upgrading and gathering high-quality resources in the industry, coagulating cross-border innovation forces, helping small and medium-sized enterprises trigger the qualitative change of open source through the quantitative change of throttling, and realize the qualitative change of subverting the industry from the quantitative change of open source, so as to create and share new opportunities for cross-border cooperation and win-win. On the other hand, Rockwell Automation firmly believes in the importance of cross-border talent training for the high-quality development of smes, and through a specially built personnel training system, helps talents at all levels of enterprises to understand the significance and value of transformation, so as to lead the chain transformation of smes. At the same time, Rockwell Automation also focuses on the offshore sector of enterprises, by providing end-to-end services covering the complete strategic layout, to help more smes forge the ability to “go out”, in order to further promote the development of the market and help smes to advance to the middle and high-end of the global value chain.

“At this World Artificial Intelligence Conference, we deeply felt that artificial intelligence is accelerating the transformation of the ecology of various industries and our daily lives, and digital intelligence technology will also help Rockwell Automation build closer cross-border cooperation with ecological partners.” Shi An said, “Rockwell Automation will grasp the opportunities of the era of artificial intelligence, further promote the innovative integration of industrial automation technology and artificial intelligence models and applications, and then help the net zero development of various industries, drive small and medium-sized enterprises to cross the boundary dimension, contribute intelligent momentum for the development of China’s manufacturing industry and achieve the goal of ‘double carbon’, and join hands to move towards a sustainable, high-quality net zero future.”
