In recent years, despite the complex and severe external environment and multiple domestic difficulties and challenges, the development momentum of China’s real economy is still good, the manufacturing industry has shown strong resilience, and the growth of new drivers has accelerated. At the same time, the manufacturing industry to upgrade the demand for computing infrastructure further accelerated, the report shows that in the third quarter of 2023, China’s manufacturing industry as a whole server (including Non-x86) market size reached 35.2 billion US dollars, up 12.3% year on year, of which Lenovo manufacturing server market size increased 103% year on year, to achieve double the share, leading the rapid development.

As the world’s third largest infrastructure and server provider, Lenovo’s continued strong growth is precisely due to the strong computing advantages accumulated in nearly 40 years of exploration and innovation. In the field of scientific computing, which represents the top level of computing power, Lenovo has ranked first in the HPC TOP100 quantity share for 9 consecutive times and first in the HPC TOP500 quantity share for 12 consecutive times, which is called the king of computing power. The good results achieved in the field of scientific computing cannot be separated from the blessing of Lenovo’s green computing technology (warm water cooling), which has been successfully deployed globally in the field of high performance computing with more than 70,000 sets, providing green and energy-saving computing solutions for all walks of life.

At the same time, based on the profound insight into the manufacturing scene and the forward-looking intelligent layout, Lenovo has the world’s leading intelligent computing equipment research and development and manufacturing “lighthouse factory”, for the industry to give Lenovo the highest recognition of intelligent manufacturing capabilities. Based on the successful practice of “Lighthouse Factory”, Lenovo has created a series of intelligent supply chain decision-making solutions, covering demand forecasting and intelligent stocking, material management and production planning, as well as logistics planning and scheduling optimization, to build a “resilient” supply chain system. This year, it was once again shortlisted and created the world’s most authoritative supply chain ranking Gartner Top 25 best ranking record, ranking 8th. This is also Lenovo’s ninth consecutive year in the global supply chain top 25, and once again ranked first in Asia Pacific.

In the process of green manufacturing transformation, Lenovo rationally uses carbon emission reduction process and green manufacturing technology, and explores a carbon reduction path through practice to reduce carbon in production links, cooperate with supply chain to reduce carbon, and ultimately benefit the manufacturing industry. Based on its own practice, Lenovo has created a set of end-to-end green solutions for the manufacturing industry. At the same time, Lenovo through the long-term layout in the field of AI, deep technology accumulation, self-developed small sample learning technology, the technology industry is far ahead, and constantly meet the needs of thousands of industries for hybrid computing power.

As a benchmark enterprise of “double real integration”, Lenovo actively promotes its own intelligent upgrading, and summarizes the “eighteen skills” of intelligent manufacturing. Based on the giant engine, it will internalize the technical capabilities, solutions and know-how of the manufacturing industry in the manufacturing field, covering the whole life cycle of enterprise research, production, supply, sales and service, and enable Chinese manufacturing enterprises to upgrade and leap. This is undoubtedly the deep reason why Lenovo has accelerated its breakthrough in the manufacturing industry and jumped to the top three in the server market.

Decode intelligent computing solution services forge a strong growth engine

Under the wave of AI, generative AI has flourished and promoted the outbreak of large model industry. According to the report data, in the first half of this year, the overall server in the manufacturing industry, the AI server market grew by 27.8% year-on-year, and the growth rate was 15.5% higher than the overall scale growth level, which became the main driving force for the rapid growth of the manufacturing server market.

Behind the doubling of Lenovo’s manufacturing server share by 103%, it is Lenovo that conforms to the current needs of AI computing power, comprehensively creates a full-stack intelligent layout of AI embedded intelligent terminals, AI-oriented infrastructure and AI-native solution services, and comprehensively launches core products of intelligent computing center solutions and services. Its leading technology framework and full-course accompanying services have become the key to differentiated competitiveness. Based on its own rich practice in the new energy automobile industry, Lenovo has continuously enabled breakthroughs in the segmentation fields such as car chip, intelligent cabin, and power semiconductor of the entire new energy automobile industry chain, and has output more solutions that are more in line with its own business transformation needs for new energy automobile enterprises, and continues to help many automobile enterprises accelerate the road of intelligent upgrading.

Taking Geely Automobile as an example, in the process of intelligent vehicle research and development and manufacturing, there is an urgent need to build its own high-performance computing cluster, but it faces a series of challenges such as green and low-carbon, super-large high-performance computing cluster construction, software application optimization, and global data center construction. Based on this, Geely Auto took the lead in adopting Lenovo’s high-performance computing integration solution to unlock the road of “intelligent manufacturing” for vehicle simulation design.

At present, Geely Auto Group has built the Geely Star Intelligent Computing Center and Intelligent simulation Platform based on Lenovo’s high-performance computing integration solution, which is currently the largest simulation scientific computing cluster built by domestic known automobile manufacturing enterprises at one time. With the powerful computing power of the platform, it can complete 12,000 + virtual safety collisions per vehicle, and greatly reduce TCO on the premise of ensuring data security; Based on the new IT architecture, Puhui computing Power can also help Geely Auto build a diversified software ecosystem. At the same time, the Lenovo ThinkSystem SD650 V3 server, built with the latest warm water cooling technology, can drive the entire data center PUE to 1.1062, accelerating the realization of the dual carbon goal.

At present, Lenovo’s intelligent solutions have been widely used and verified in a number of manufacturing enterprises. As Wu Xiaobo put forward in the year-end show, manufacturing is becoming an advanced production capacity, and Lenovo will continue to seize the opportunities of a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial change in the future, promote the intelligent upgrading of manufacturing enterprises, contribute to the high-quality development of China’s manufacturing industry, and help China’s intelligent manufacturing level continue to lead!
