Finance Association, November 27 (Reporter Guo Songqiao) As the world's first national exhibition with a supply chain theme, the 2nd China International Supply Chain Promotion Expo will be held in Beijing from November 26 to 30.

A Financial Services Association reporter noticed that this year's Chain Expo has set up 6 major chains and 1 supply chain service area: advanced manufacturing chain, clean energy chain, smart car chain, digital technology chain, healthy lifestyle chain, green agriculture chain. Walking through the conference site, a large number of examples of new technologies, new products and application scenarios were dazzling. Each exhibition area showcased key links in the upper, middle, and lower reaches of each chain.

Ren Hongbin, chairman of the China Council for the Promotion of Trade, explained at the opening that compared with the first Chain Expo, this year's Chain Expo has a higher level of internationalization. More than 620 enterprises, institutions and international organizations participated in the exhibition, an increase of 20% over the first edition. Involving 69 countries, regions, and international organizations, including 78 Fortune 500 companies and 86 China's top 500 companies, the share of overseas exhibitors rose from 26% at the first edition to 32%. It is expected that political, business, and academics from more than 100 countries will attend the exhibition.

Tesla humanoid robots attract attention, and AI becomes the brain of power distribution cabinets

A reporter from the Financial Services Association saw live that at this chain fair, the exhibits at the Tesla booth included important parts of electric vehicles such as electric drives, batteries, heat pump systems, car door limiters, and Model 3, Model Y, and humanoid robots.

As one of the smallest exhibits at the Tesla booth, the car door stopper (Doorhook) is one of the results of Tesla's joint exploration with local supply chain partners in the field of safety. Its function is to prevent excessive deformation and misalignment between the car door and the car body when the vehicle collides, thereby ensuring that the car door can be opened after the collision and the safety of the passenger.

Currently, on average, Tesla's Shanghai Gigafactory sheds a complete vehicle every 30 seconds. The parts localization rate has exceeded 95%, and more than 400 first-class local suppliers have signed contracts in China. Of these, more than 60 suppliers have entered Tesla's global supply chain system. According to statistics, in the first three quarters of this year, Tesla's Shanghai Gigafactory delivered 0.676 million new vehicles, accounting for more than half of Tesla's global deliveries in the first three quarters. In October of this year, Tesla's Shanghai Gigafactory launched its 3rd millionth vehicle, 1/3 of which was exported to the European and Asia-Pacific markets.

In the clean energy chain exhibition area, Shenglong Electric, a leading company in the field of intelligent electricity use, held a new product launch conference and unveiled AI-iPanel, the world's first artificial intelligence medium and low voltage brand cabinet, and iDRIP 5.0, the world's first metaverse digital twin smart building management system, to showcase the latest technological achievements and cutting-edge technology in the field of power distribution.

“401, how is the equipment running?” “At present, the overall operation is basically normal. The load rate of the transformer is 65%. What is important to note is the current imbalance in the three-phase load current of the 401 switch...” At the scene, the staff demonstrated human-computer dialogue. The AI-iPanel not only quickly informs about the abnormal situation, but also gives suggestions for adjustments.

A staff member of Shenglong Electric told the Financial Federation reporter that this artificial intelligence distribution cabinet can not only talk, but more importantly, it can also think independently and understand self-management. For example, when a transformer load rate is detected to be too high, AI can distribute the load through an automatic optimization algorithm. When electricians close the gate to send electricity, they may encounter faults that require troubleshooting, which is time-consuming and laborious. AI can quickly troubleshoot faults. Greatly reduce operation and maintenance costs and improve operation efficiency.

“Al-iPanel makes electricity operation digital and transparent from an imperceptible 'black box' state.” Hu Jia, R&D engineer at Optics Valley Electric, a subsidiary of Shenglong Electric, explained that Shenglong Electric's next-generation AI products deeply integrate AI technology with power technology, and further improve electricity efficiency and electricity safety through key technologies such as natural language interaction and intelligent integration, fault diagnosis and processing models, load prediction, and optimal deployment algorithms.

Short-term transportation “chain owner”, co-development with the supply chain

The Financial Services Association reporter saw that there was a crowd of people in front of the booth of Company No. 9. The products displayed at the booth, such as the No. 9 Frisbee Delivery Robot, the No. 9 Food Delivery Robot, the Navimow intelligent lawn mower, the Segway electric scooter ZT3 Pro, the No. 9 scooter L8, and the No. 9 electric mechanic MMax2, attracted the attention of the audience.

The reporter learned that these products on display are actually a microcosm of Company No. 9's business layout. Company 9 focuses on the field of innovative short transportation and service robots, and is committed to promoting the development of the technical level of the industry and providing smart mobile solutions to users around the world.

At present, Company 9 has accumulated a large number of world-renowned and powerful parts suppliers. In terms of supplier selection and management, Company 9 has a complete set of standard mechanisms. “Whether in terms of market share or in terms of supply chain division of labor, as a brand directly facing consumers, Company 9 is already the 'chain owner' of many supply chain segments in the short transportation industry.” An industry person said.

As the “chain owner” of the supply chain, in the process of cooperation with partner companies, Company 9 has always been committed to improving the level of digitalization and intelligence of the cooperation process between the two parties through innovative technology platforms, thereby improving collaboration efficiency. Furthermore, for some core components, Company 9 will adopt a model of joint development with suppliers. No. 9's product design capabilities and technical capabilities have also invisibly empowered and driven the development of suppliers.

“We will also pay close attention to global policies, industry regulations, and consumer preferences, and feed this first-line information back to suppliers to achieve collaborative development between the company and supply chain enterprises.” The relevant person in charge of the 9th company said.
