Storyline: Game-changing Industrial Embodied AI system put into action at Chinese chemical plant [Voice_over] China's vibrant industrial scene is embracing a new era of intelligent automation powered by embodied AI, a technology that allows physical agents to perceive, reason, and act autonomously. At a chemical plant in Yichang City of central China's Hubei Province, an innovative Industrial Embodied AI system has just gone live, seamlessly integrating autonomous perception, decision-making, and task execution throughout the entire production process. Company officials say the system has not only streamlined workflows and reduced costs, but also freed up workers for more strategic tasks. [Sound_bite] Li Yonggang, chief engineer, Xingfa Group: "The system effectively addresses long-standing issues such as frequent alarms, excessive manual intervention, and production instability. By adopting localized junction boxes, we've cut cabling and installation costs by over 5.6 million U.S. dollars and reduced overall construction expenses by 60 percent. These have boosted operational efficiency by 67 percent and improved production efficiency by up to three percent. Employees have been freed from repetitive tasks and are transitioning into roles as AI trainers and anomaly response specialists." [Voice_over] At the heart of the cutting-edge system are two innovative technologies: a generative AI model trained on vast volumes of industrial data, and a software-defined architecture that functions as the system’s ‘nerve center’. Together, they’ve transformed the chemical plant into a smart, autonomous facility with industry-leading production capabilities. The firm behind the system says it’s expected to make a groundbreaking shift in manufacturing - from static automation to dynamic, self-optimizing production. [Sound_bite] Cui Shan, chairman and CEO, Supcon Technology: "By integrating perception, analysis, decision-making, and execution into a complete closed loop embedded directly into actual production processes, AI has become a fully autonomous, self-optimizing intelligent agent. The value of AI in industrial applications goes far beyond boosting production efficiency. More profoundly, it is redefining the boundaries of human-machine collaboration and management paradigms, while also enhancing the invisible competitive advantages of a company." [Voice_over] Beyond chemical plants, the system’s engineers say it can also be adapted for use in the energy and building materials sectors, amongst others. [Restrictions : No access Chinese mainland]
