According to Wang Min, XCMG, as the pillar of a Great Power ranking the first in China and the sixth in the world, is a banner of the Chinese machinery industry. XCMG has continued to deepen its efforts in the industry of intelligent manufacturing, not only building a number of industry-leading intelligent factories, but cultivating “dark horse” and “unicorn” of industrial Internet, e.g., XCMG Information, far ahead in the industry.
Wang Xiaochu highly recognized the flexible mechanism of XCMG as well as its forward-looking layout and practice in intelligent manufacturing. He said that China Unicom boasts obvious advantages in the communications industry. As the leading enterprises in their respective fields, XCMG and China Unicom will definitely become strategic partners for each other in long-term cooperation.
Zhang Qiliang, General Manager of XCMG Information, said, “XCMG Information, backed by long-term experience in the industry, will give full play to the product advantages of Hanyun Industrial Internet Platform in the aspect of industrial big data, and promote in-depth cooperation with Unicom in platform construction, data governance, data mining, data analysis, search engine development, etc. This is a strong alliance for cooperation in the industrial Internet ecosystem, and we are looking forward to it.”
In the future, XCMG will also work with China Unicom to prepare for the establishment of a 5G joint laboratory. “XCMG Hanyun + Unicom 5G” will provide a new application “XCMG model” for the deep integration of new-generation information & communication technology and industrial sector.
