“Turing Town” in west China builds on AI to empower industrial digitalization

In Xianyang High-tech Industrial Development Zone in west China's Shaanxi Province, digitalization is a popular option for many traditional manufacturing firms for industrial upgrading, even it's a sheet metal processing company.

Through the application of AI-driven quality inspection model, Huatai Kitchen Equipment saw its production lean level increase by 35 percent. The company's sales in the third quarter of this year rose by 4.8 million yuan year on year thanks to the development of smart restaurants and related branding effects.

At present, it has provided 715 key programs and 927 capability tools, helping 117 enterprises to embrace cloud adoption and smart technologies.

Efforts are being made to develop centers of computing power service, AIGC technology R&D, scene application and industry incubation, and to attract enterprises with strong computing power and talents with comprehensive services.
