On April 13, Zhang Chengkang, chairman and CEO of SIE, appeared at the Greater Bay Area Summit of the China EU Supply Chain Innovation Forum. With the keynote speech of "Digital Transformation of Enterprises in the Era of Big Models", he explained the importance of AI for enterprise innovation and digital transformation in simple terms. Combining SIE's innovative achievements and solutions in the AI field, he discussed how AI technology can promote enterprises to achieve intelligent management and sustainable business innovation in the wave of digital transformation, and provide a key path reference for enterprises' digital transformation.

The digital transformation has promoted the development of society towards intelligence, efficiency, and innovation through high policy emphasis, technological integration and innovation, positive changes in user attitudes, standardized cross-border integration of ecology, and comprehensive value enhancement. Among them, technologies such as cloud native, big data, IoT, 5G, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence have played a core role, jointly shaping a smarter and more innovative future.

The global popularity of ChatGPT at the end of 2022 has opened a new era of artificial intelligence. With the rise of the global trend of generative AI, artificial intelligence technology has entered a new stage of widespread application, demonstrating strong vitality in the field of digital transformation. Relying on technologies such as cloud computing, big data, the Internet of Things, and artificial intelligence, intelligent perception, decision-making, and adaptive learning capabilities have been achieved. AI， As the core of intelligence, it is the key to driving enterprise transformation. It not only improves efficiency, but also leads us to innovate business models and achieve adaptive and automated execution functions. The lack of digital upgrades for AI has not actually reached its true potential.

In the irreversible era of artificial intelligence, enterprises urgently need to master the ability to quickly integrate AI technology in order to achieve the digital transformation from traditional informatization to AI driven. Zhang Chengkang said that SIE Information adheres to the innovative concept of "from the inside out" and constantly promotes the innovative development in the AI field.

In April 2023, SIE Information will fully access to OpenAI technology, embed ChatGPT into office applications, and establish the AIGC Promotion Committee to promote the application of AI technology throughout the company. At present, SIE employees have been able to skillfully use ChatGPT technology to solve mechanical and repetitive tasks such as copywriting, scheme formulation and engineering code writing, thus releasing human resources and focusing on more creative and decision-making work.

In July 2023, SIE Information and Huawei signed a cooperation agreement on Pangu model. Joining hands with Huawei Cloud for joint innovation, we will build a natural language and visual model based on the Pangu big model, and jointly build a big model for the Pangu manufacturing industry. To provide customers in the manufacturing industry with segmented scenarios such as process engineering AI automation, AI quality inspection, and intelligent optimization of supply chains, and to offer "out of the box" model services. (For details, see Twitter: SIE Information Becomes a Partner of Huawei's "Pangu Big Model" and Jointly Promotes the Landing of the Big Model of the Industry)

In October 2023, SIE Information officially released the first AIGC middle platform (Shanmou GPT) focusing on the big model of enterprise service, which carries the intelligent application of enterprises and the construction of the big model of the industry. Shanmou GPT (SIE AIGC middle platform) integrates application development and model training, deeply integrates the knowledge and best practices of SIE Information in the fields of finance and taxation, human resources, marketing, supply chain, research and development, production and manufacturing, and provides enterprises with comprehensive AI solutions from model building and integration to business application and data management based on eight core capabilities and four core scenarios. (For details, see the tweet: "SIE AIGC Zhongtai Officially Releases, Shanmou GPT Empowers Enterprises with New Development of Digital Intelligence through Technological Innovation")

PCB is known as the "mother of electronics" and is the carrier for all components to achieve their functions. As an important cornerstone of the electronics industry, PCB has more stringent requirements for high-end and high-quality products. In traditional manufacturing processes, engineering, technology, and production processes often rely on manual identification, judgment, and input, resulting in low human efficiency and inability to meet changing demands, leading to increased labor costs and frequent issues with reduced on-time delivery rates. Human error leading to a decline in product quality, resulting in scrap or customer complaints, is also a major challenge in the PCB industry. Over time, the satisfaction of enterprise customers decreases and market competition pressure increases dramatically.

In order to improve the efficiency of the production preparation process when PCB manufacturing enterprises receive orders, and at the same time adapt to more industrial scenarios, SIE Information has trained the first large PCB industry model. Through the access to natural language processing (NLP), computer vision (CV), machine vision (MV), multi-modal (text, image, audio, video), speech recognition (ASR), prediction, calculation and other general large models, SIE Self developed AI Zhongtai Shanmou GPT has pre trained a large number of engineering drawings, order data, industry knowledge and other data in the PCB industry, to achieve the analysis, recognition and understanding of customer order data, support intelligent applications such as engineering drawing recognition and parameter recognition, and can help PCB manufacturing The enterprise quickly extracts engineering parameters such as size, material, layers, etc., to improve the efficiency of order receiving and production preparation.

Zhang Chengkang stressed that in practical application, SIE Information has significantly improved the efficiency of the entire process of PCB enterprises from demand analysis to drawing design to quotation through innovative AI technology. In the future, with the continuous and in-depth application of the big model, the overall efficiency can be improved by more than 90%, so that the workload that originally required 100 people to complete can be completed by only 10 people. This not only greatly improves the speed from order receipt to production preparation, but also significantly reduces quality issues caused by human operational errors. Through the application of this innovative AI technology, PCB manufacturing enterprises can better meet market demand, improve customer satisfaction, and maintain a leading position in fierce market competition.
