Hefei, September 22 (Xinhua) -- At the 2023 World Manufacturing Conference being held here, an inconspicuous mouse attracted visitors.
Liu Shiming, the person in charge of the exhibit, issued a voice command to the mouse named "Mimi": "Make a summary report in June, the total sales are 400,000 units, the total amount is 4 million, and add the analysis data in July..."
A few seconds later, a piecemeal report appeared on the screen, Liu Shiming clicked the "generate PPT" icon, and soon, the PPT presentation file generated according to the content of the report was downloaded to the desktop, and the whole process took less than two minutes.
Today, when voice input is no longer a "black technology", it is eye-catching to combine it with the popular AI large model technology for content generation and then applied to industrial products.
The 2023 World Manufacturing Conference was held in Hefei, Anhui Province, with the theme of "Intelligent Manufacturing World, Creating Beauty". At the exhibition, how to integrate the latest scientific and technological innovations, fashion trends and traditional manufacturing, and how to upgrade "manufacturing" to "intelligent manufacturing", so as to serve people's lives and work, has become a new attraction of many exhibits.
"Whether it's writing, charting, or text generation, it can do the job and greatly improve user productivity." Liu Shiming is very confident in his products.
Behind the little mouse lies the power of China's "intelligent manufacturing". As a representative of the business that developed this smart mouse, Liu Shiming said that "Mimice" is equipped with a special voice chip, integrating upstream and downstream software and hardware innovation collaborative resources, and the supply chain has been completely localized.
At the other end of the exhibition hall, the "metaverse holographic capsule" also attracted many visitors. The "characters" in the holographic cabin include performing artists who interpret classic excerpts from Huangmei Opera, "Qi Tian Dashen" who greets people warmly, and cartoon "changing faces" that interact with the audience, and the exhibition area is full of laughter.

"'Metaverse Hologram Capsule' is a glasses-free 3D terminal that combines 3D scanning, AI technology and AR virtual live broadcast, which will virtualize the theme of the film, allowing cultural artworks and historical figures to be displayed in the form of holograms and open up interactive experiences." Zhang Hong, general manager of Hefei Dapu Huilian Technology Co., Ltd., which developed this product, said.
Zhang Hong took the reporter to a small civilian holographic cabin, which was only the size of a suitcase and displayed a three-dimensional human heart figure.
"This holographic cabin can be used for medical treatment, display three-dimensional organ projection, and can project the patient's image report, which is very intuitive and convenient." Zhang Hong said that it can also be used in families, recording images of family members and putting them into holographic capsules, and even conducting conversations.
The new energy automobile industry has developed rapidly in recent years, and it is the "first industry" of Anhui, the "host" of the World Manufacturing Conference. With the maturity of electric vehicle technology today, how to apply intelligent technology to driving to improve driving experience and safety has become a topic of concern for many visitors.

In the new energy vehicle exhibition area, Chery, NIO, BYD and other car companies brought the latest models, among which the "third private space" intelligent cockpit developed by Chery attracted a lot of attention. The person in charge of the exhibit said that this intelligent cockpit realizes functions such as voice recognition, automatic driving, and image recognition through the application of artificial intelligence technology, thereby greatly improving the comfort in the cockpit and bringing great convenience to the driver and passengers.
The conference also invited industry insiders and experts and scholars to collide ideas and discuss technical directions, among which the intelligence of new energy vehicle driving, charging, safety and other links is an inescapable topic.
"We have cooperated with battery manufacturers to develop unmanned swap stations for passenger cars, freight vehicles and other scenarios. Based on self-developed core algorithms, these unmanned swap stations realize unmanned equipment management, intelligent battery charging, and automatic operation and maintenance of swap stations. Wang Wentao, regional director of the marketing department of Anhui Green Boat Technology Co., Ltd., said.
Wang Wentao said that the intelligent operation of the exchange station improves the efficiency of power exchange while saving labor costs, realizes full-time supervision of equipment data, and can effectively reduce safety risks.
From small mice and 3D visual products to automobiles and construction machinery, in the exhibition hall of the 2023 World Manufacturing Conference, what you see is China's manufacturing industry tracking the pulse of the latest science and technology, pushing the old and innovating, and accelerating towards China's "intelligent manufacturing".
