370140 177896-05 Recently, AVEVA, the global engineering and industrial software leader, successfully held the industry-focused “Swords 2023 · AVEVA Software Industry Leaders Summit” (hereinafter referred to as the Summit) in Qingdao. The theme of the summit is “Data Insights, ‘swords’ for high-quality development”, which is deeply in line with the current and future trends of digital and low-carbon development in the industry.

During the conference, industry leaders and experts from the fields of chemical, energy, metallurgy, new materials and consulting gathered in the island city to share the opportunities and challenges on the road to high-quality development, providing reference and inspiration for the Chinese industry. During the two-day event, AVEVA Ecosystem partners were able to gain insight into the technological and application scenario innovation of industrial software from the perspective of industry research planning and case practice. The summit highlighted how industry is unlocking the power of data through data connectivity to enable digital innovation that drives sustainability and business growth.

Speakers at the summit include Xu Chunming, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and expert on petrochemicals; Xiong Yi, Senior Vice President, Head of Strategy and Business Development China, Dean of the Institute of Business Value, 370140 177896-05 Schneider Electric; Xu Jian, Director of Digital Design Department, Metallurgical Division, China Enfei Engineering Technology Co., LTD.; Xue Xujin, Deputy General Manager of Polyfluoro New Materials Co., LTD.; Jiang Chonglong, Managing Director, Accenture Greater China Industrial X Group; China Electric Zhiwei Technology Co., LTD. Chief engineer Hua Laizhen; And Cao Chunzhen, technical manager of BASF China. They shared their ideas and vision of high-quality development at the meeting.

In addition, AVEVA also signed a strategic cooperation framework agreement with China University of Petroleum, Suntec Energy Co., Ltd. and Bora LyondellBasell at this summit to continue to expand the ecosystem, and support production, research and development and cultivate high-quality applied talents.

Emon Zaman, AVEVA’s senior vice president for Asia Pacific, said: “As the impact of the pandemic fades, the industrial economic recovery is gathering pace and demand is growing strongly. The importance of digital thinking is more prominent at this time, and it is an important driving force for industrial enterprises to break through in the market competition.

Now, the market environment and business operations are increasingly 370140 177896-05 complex, full of uncertainties and challenges. Companies are increasingly concerned about sustainability. Industry desperately needs real-time, transparent data to make informed decisions at the right time.

AVEVA is committed to creating an industrially connected world to help the ecosystem continue to meet market challenges. With our solutions, ecosystem partners and their suppliers, partners and customers can use integrated data to collaborate more effectively and further increase efficiency and reduce cost. The industrial connected economy is booming around the world, and China is particularly strong.”

Wan Shiping, general manager of AVEVA China, said: “Data is the lifeblood of the industrial connected economy. Today, businesses receive huge amounts of data from different sources. The continuous collection of such data and its full release through efficient management are key to advancing high-quality development and are central to achieving sustainable development. With this in mind, AVEVA’s ‘digital twin’ solution is born and can change as needed.

370140 177896-05 A digital twin essentially uses connected data to deepen the user’s understanding of the described equipment asset, system, or production process. This requires three basic requirements: first, the integrity of the data needed to build the ‘twin’ equipment assets and processes; The second is to have the right model to describe the behavior of equipment assets or production processes; Third, data visualization. When these requirements are met, the combination of human insight and capabilities truly creates value through the hands of connected employees.

Of course, whether it is the digital twin or the connected employee, the ultimate goal is to help enterprises to analyze and optimize data, and through insights, dynamic and efficient corporate decision-making and management, map to every link of the enterprise’s production and operation, so that enterprises can operate quickly, save energy and reduce emissions, and ultimately promote high-quality development.”

Xu Chunming, an academician at the Chinese Academy of 370140 177896-05 Sciences and a petrochemical expert, said: “Climate change is a major challenge facing the world today, and carbon emission reduction is urgent. Among them, the adjustment of energy structure is fundamental. The shift from “double control” of energy consumption to “double control” of carbon emissions, and the “double control” of total energy consumption and intensity to “double control” of total carbon emissions and intensity is conducive to accelerating the transformation of energy structure. “Dual control” should be scientific, and digitalization and intelligence are of great significance and value to industrial development and transformation. Taking hydrogen energy and fuel batteries as an example, in the manufacturing process, digital technology can more effectively improve the production efficiency of hydrogen production, hydrogen storage, hydrogen transport and hydrogen use; At the same time, through the Internet of Things digital monitoring, network intelligent monitoring can also more effectively improve the quality control, safety protection and environmental protection capabilities of these production processes.”
