In Dongguan, a major manufacturing center in China, on March 19, 2025, the first urban-level artificial intelligence model center focused on the manufacturing field was officially launched. This center aims to promote the deep integration of artificial intelligence and manufacturing industry and improve the efficiency and intelligence level of industrial manufacturing. Zeng Ming, deputy secretary-general of the Dongguan Municipal People's Government, said at the event that the establishment of the center will provide stronger support for manufacturing companies and enhance Dongguan's core competitiveness and global influence.
Relying on Huawei's software and hardware foundation, Dongguan Digital Group has created this large model center, which mainly provides three types of services: computing resources, open models and AI engineering capabilities. These services help manufacturing companies quickly improve the accuracy of models with less data and lower costs and accelerate the pace of intelligent transformation.
In terms of computing power resources, the center uses the infrastructure of Dongguan Huawei Cloud Data Center to provide secure and inclusive AI computing power for industrial upgrading and public services, and supports the deployment of mainstream open source models in the industry. In terms of open models, the center has launched basic models such as natural language processing, computer vision and predictive analysis, and has specially launched professional models such as manufacturing knowledge and manufacturing vision for the manufacturing industry, aiming to help enterprises solve practical problems.
In addition, the center also provides AI engineering capabilities, and provides enterprise model training and reasoning services through AI development production lines, significantly improving resource utilization efficiency. Through these measures, enterprises can not only shorten the application development cycle, but also effectively open up the distance between AI technology and production lines.
In the future, the Big Model Center plans to create more than 50 demonstration application scenarios for AI and advanced manufacturing by 2025, and strive to achieve more than 135 goals by 2027. Dongguan has taken an important step in promoting the intelligentization and high-quality development of manufacturing.
