"Please make a Mid-Autumn Festival blessing video for me." A command is issued to the computer, and in just a few seconds, lines of greetings appear on the screen, and a video with a digital avatar is generated.
At the 2023 World Manufacturing Conference, many exhibitors stopped at the booth of iFLYTEK Xinghuo Cognitive Large Model and experienced with interest the new capabilities of iFLYTEK Spark 2.0 version of "smart" and "easy to use".
On September 20, the 2023 World Manufacturing Conference opened in Hefei, Anhui Province. With the theme of "Intelligent World, Create Beauty", many cutting-edge products including artificial intelligence, robots, metaverse, etc. allow exhibitors to feel the charm of "smart" manufacturing.
At the opening ceremony of the conference, the Antelope industrial large model was officially unveiled, with five core capabilities, including industrial text generation, industrial knowledge Q&A, industrial understanding and computing, industrial code generation, and industrial multi-modality.
Xu Jiajia, president of Antelope Industrial Internet Co., Ltd., introduced that taking the application of industrial code generation capabilities in industrial scenarios as an example, the Antelope industrial large model completely subverts the traditional operation mode. Even engineering technicians and business experts who are not strong in code ability or even do not understand code programming can develop light applications in industrial scenarios according to business needs through low-code or zero-code methods, greatly improving problem solving efficiency and saving production and R&D costs.
"'Big Model + Industry' will fully liberate factory productivity, release the imagination of craftsmen, and lead the manufacturing industry to achieve high-quality development." Xu Jiajia said.
For decades, with its broad market scale and cost-effective commodity supply, China's manufacturing has benefited the world. Today, China's manufacturing is moving towards China's creation, continuing to promote new industrialization and accelerating the construction of a manufacturing power. At this conference, people can glimpse the epitome of China's trend of promoting the transformation of manufacturing to "intelligent" manufacturing.

As the background color of the high-quality development of the manufacturing industry, "green" is also one of the keywords of this conference. During the conference, 100% green electricity was used in all venues, which was also the first time that Anhui Province realized the green power supply for the whole process of large-scale events.
According to reports, the whole process of the conference is expected to use 240,000 kilowatt-hours of green electricity, and the specially constructed low-carbon transportation charging network for new energy vehicles can further reduce carbon emissions.
With the accelerating pace of global energy transformation, China's manufacturing enterprises such as photovoltaics and new energy vehicles are continuously releasing green momentum to the world.
In a solar park, 26 kilometers northeast of Berlin, Germany, clusters of crystalline photovoltaic panels glittering in the sun. In Hefei, thousands of miles away, Sungrow Power Co., Ltd., a supplier of inverters that maintains the stable and efficient operation of this solar park, is showcasing its products to customers at home and abroad at the conference.
"At present, global green energy manufacturing has ushered in leapfrog development, China's photovoltaic industry chain is becoming increasingly complete, and the energy industry has changed from the attribute of 'resources' to the attribute of 'manufacturing + service'." Cao Renxian, chairman of Sungrow, said at the opening ceremony of the conference.
As of the end of June this year, the Chinese company's cumulative installed capacity of inverter equipment has exceeded 405GW worldwide, helping more than 150 countries and regions to transform green.

As the wave of electrification and intelligence gradually extends from the automotive industry to the aviation industry, people can also glimpse the future transportation picture of "green flight" at the conference site.
The tiltrotor electric aircraft E20eVTOL (Electric Vertical Take-off and Landing Vehicle), independently developed by Shi Technology, attracted many visitors. Huang Yongwei, founder and CEO of Shi Technology, introduced that the aircraft is designed for a maximum range of 200 kilometers and a maximum speed of 320 kilometers per hour, and adopts a motor and electrification architecture design to make flying more convenient and safe, while also greatly reducing travel costs.
"As a new low-altitude travel product, we position it as a supplement to the future of transportation, which can better serve short-distance travel, and the price will be similar to that of ordinary taxis." Huang Yongwei said.
Technological breakthroughs, product updates, at the conference site, "high-end" products such as electric aircraft can be seen everywhere.
The 14-inch flexible AMOLED full-stack curl module with up to 50,000 curling times is a transparent display vehicle solution that perfectly integrates driving status, exterior real scene and instant information... In the integrated circuit and new display exhibition area, Hefei Visionox Technology Co., Ltd. brought a variety of display screens, which surprised the exhibitors one after another.
Next to the booth, the company's technician Ding Zhendong is introducing a cutting-edge technological innovation to the audience - Visionox intelligent pixelation technology.
"Traditional AMOLED panels are limited by production technology and cannot meet the needs of medium and large size panels, but we achieve more precise pixels through semiconductor lithography process, which can significantly improve product performance, meet product depth customization, and achieve full coverage of full-size application fields." Ding Zhendong said that the company has continuously carried out independent research and development and technological innovation in recent years to meet the growing demand for high-end display products.

With the upgrading and development of China's industry, the high-end manufacturing industry with higher technology content and higher added value has maintained rapid growth, and the high-end manufacturing industry is steadily advancing. According to the latest data released by the National Bureau of Statistics, in August this year, the added value of the aerospace vehicle and equipment manufacturing industry above designated size in the country increased by 16.2% year-on-year, and the output of high-tech products such as integrated circuits and optoelectronic devices increased by 21.1% and 29.9% respectively.
China's self-developed high-speed maglev train with a speed of 600 kilometers per hour, the "Micius" quantum science experiment satellite, the key buffer element "Chang'e Steel" for the Chang'e-3 and Chang'e-4 moon landings and the landing of Tianwen-1 on Mars... At the conference, a series of combinations of Chinese manufacturing and cutting-edge technology were also brilliantly unveiled, highlighting the unlimited potential of China's high-end manufacturing.
