Cloud habitat conference to see the “three new”
Release date: 29-26,2018
Some of the crowds coming to Hangzhou for the Mid-Autumn Festival are not to the West Lake, but to Yunqi Town. Data show that the 4-day 2018 Hangzhou · Cloud Conference attracted a total of 120,000 people from 81 countries and regions on 6 continents, 27% of which were enterprise CEOs and senior executives. At the same time, the domestic and foreign online viewing users of more than 10 million person-times.
In the ninth year, the Cloud Conference has grown into a vane of global technology. The conference is unveiling the future of digital China. For Zhejiang, digital economy is the engine to promote high-quality development, and it is also the mission and responsibility to be the pioneer of digital China. People come here to communicate and share technology, come here to feel the way technology has changed in their lives, and come here for the future. While the cloud ecology is flourishing, more new content is growing from this plateau.
A new version of the Hangzhou story
Different from previous years, the first day of the main forum on the cloud conference is not one after another results released, Ali Cloud president Hu Xiaoming spent more than 40 minutes, to tell you a new Hangzhou story. From “city brain” to “run once at most”, from “city of mobile payment” to “city of smart medical treatment”, the “cloud” born in Hangzhou has unknowingly implanted the context of digital economy into the city.
“Cloud” is the beginning of these stories. Urban brain, for example, in two years, the urban brain in the field of Hangzhou traffic practice from a intersection to today’s 420 square kilometers, with the help of flying platform massive real-time computing power, urban brain can through in Hangzhou accumulated 30 PB of original data and daily new 150TB data, profound change of the city’s life, industry, public security, transportation, government affairs and other aspects.
Touching the pulse of a city with data, driving its development with technology, and writing a new story, may be a vivid interpretation of the theme of this year’s conference, “Drive Digital China”. In Zhejiang, about cloud computing, big data imagination already bud, from 2010 ali cloud developers conference to now cloud conference, people here communication, sharing, collision, and will already is not only technology developers, more everywhere from global enterprise CEO, CTO and care technology how to change the life of ordinary people, the conference increasingly ground gas, open and internationalization. From the giant “Internet of things” airship to the ground wandering unmanned delivery truck, “cloud” explicit changes more and more closer to life, deep industry, and the existence of ali cloud is more and more “invisible”, cloud conference is more like an enlightenment: in the conference this year the new development E area, the special technology exchange field full, people warmly discussed the IoT, AI, data center construction… topic every change, the door frame theme signs tore off a piece, and this belongs to the cloud conference “tear brand” game, is driving the new kinetic energy drive digital China.
Digital Zhejiang new sample
In recent days, the three sculptures standing at the entrance of Yunqi Town have attracted many attendees to stop.”Internet, Innovation and Entrepreneurship”, “Flying Sky, Evolution” and “Driving Digital China”, the sculpture is not only the theme of the previous Cloud Qi Conference, but also the development process of this town.
Why is it the cloud habitat? This is the most common question asked by the head of the town management committee at this conference, and his answer is always two words: ecology. As the pioneering work of Zhejiang province, the characteristic town is positioned as one of the important carriers of driving industrial innovation in Zhejiang province. At the same time, Zhejiang province proposed the construction of the “digital economy” as early as 2003, and last year it listed it as the “No.1 project”. Together, Yunqi Town has been determined to build a “cloud ecology” since its inception. With the unique mode of “innovative pasture + industrial black soil” of the town, the cloud industry has rapidly taken shape here in the past six years.
Cloud Qi Town, which gathers innovative ideas, stimulates innovation momentum with cloud industry, and constantly innovates and evolves, has become a fresh sample of digital Zhejiang. By the first half of this year, Yunqi Town has achieved a cloud output value of 12.2 billion yuan, which is expected to exceed 22 billion yuan; gathering more than 70% of the national industry high-end talents, the joint force of “industry + talent” has produced a number of significant original scientific and technological achievements.
Recently, the “Hongyun Project” project cooperated with aerospace Science and Industry, the “Zhongke Satellite Cloud” project cooperated with the Micro Satellite Innovation Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the “Beidou Qianxun Location” project serving the high-precision positioning have been settled in the town. Just before the cloud conference, the town enterprise “zero gravity laboratory” participated in the development of 3U cubic load satellite, successfully completed the sub-orbit separation, return, recovery and landing experiment, means that here has fast small satellite research and development, production and manufacturing capacity; and the first automatic driving road test plate “Zhejiang A4390 test”, also means that the town as “5G car network” pilot to drive digital China.
Transformation and upgrading of new manufacturing
Two years ago in the cloud conference, Jack Yun proposed “new retail”, two years later, “new manufacturing” is the thing he mentioned the most, but also one of the most concerned topics in the cloud conference. Indeed, there are deeper reasons why “new manufacturing” will have so much attention: at present, Zhejiang and even China’s manufacturing industry is facing the transformation and upgrading, the huge test brought by the internal and external environment, and China’s manufacturing industry is necessary to upgrade the intelligent manufacturing.
As a pioneer of digital China, in Zhejiang, the story of “new manufacturing” of manufacturing and digital economy is being interpreted. As the world’s leading manufacturer of refined terephthalic acid (PTA) and polyester fiber (PET), Hengyi Petrochemical is the largest supplier of raw textile materials in China. Reducing energy consumption and improving the efficiency of coal-fired power generation is the main direction of the company to reduce costs. Based on the ET industrial brain, the coal burning efficiency can be improved by calculation, and a single plant can save tens of millions of yuan of coal cost per year.
Connecting digital technology, awakening production data, improving production efficiency and reducing production costs are the essence of “new manufacturing”.”After decades of making tires, now we’ve made silent production data’ talk gold ‘.”Zhang Limin, deputy general manager of Zhongce Rubber, said that by tapping the potential of production data, Aliyun ET Industrial Brain has helped increase the company’s yield rate by 5 to 8 percentage points.
As a pioneer in digital China, Zhejiang’s digital economy is bursting with unprecedented vitality. In the first half of this year, the GDP of Zhejiang province increased by 7.6%, among which the added value of the core industries of the digital economy increased by 16.4%, accounting for 9.1% of GDP. Thus, digital economy has become an important engine for Zhejiang’s economic development.
