From May 26th to 30th, toEmbrace AI, work with sincerity and strive for excellenceTheme based artificial intelligence innovation activities——ABB Accelerator China WeekThe event was held simultaneously at the ABB Robot Super Factory and online platform in Shanghai, attracting more than 6000 domestic and foreign employees, customers, and partners to participate. During this period, the AI Hackathon competition gave birth to nearly 350 AI innovation proposals, and nearly 50 partners and ABB technical experts had in-depth exchanges and shared insights through activities such as AI Frontier Sharing Meetings and AI Application Forums. ABB also showcased over 40 AI application solutions, showcasing the transformative power of AI from multiple dimensions.

AI is no longer just a vision for the future, but has become a reality in our lives. As a key technology, AI will be integrated into almost all products. At ABB, we adopt a 'bottom-up' approach to developing AI solutions, committed to creating innovation that can solve practical problems and bring tangible results, "said An Shiming, President of ABB's Robotics and Discrete Automation Division and member of ABB's Executive Committee

One of the important driving forces of ABB's innovation is the culture of collaboration, which connects startups, business partners, and academic institutions to build an open innovation ecosystem. The ABB accelerator event held in China this week is a vivid embodiment of this concept. We work together with our partners to develop intelligent technologies and better serve Chinese customers

As part of the ABB accelerator project, ABBAI Hackathon CompetitionIt has attracted numerous participating teams from ABB China and around the world, receiving a total of about 350 AI proposals and application cases, covering fields such as machine learning, deep learning, natural language processing, computer vision, and reinforcement learning. 20 teams participated in the finals, showcasing the rich potential of AI in improving efficiency, reducing costs, driving performance growth, and promoting sustainable development.

The ABB accelerator project has received funding from Microsoft, China Telecom, Foxconn Infosys、SAP、Salesforce、 With the strong support of nearly 50 partner companies such as Lianwei Panyun and Shanshu Technology, senior AI experts and ABB technical experts are working togetherAI Frontier Sharing ConferenceTheAI Frontier Insight and Application ForumFocus on the latest trends in AI technology implementation during the event, and explore the future of AI and industry integration together.

existProduct Solution DisplayDuring the event, ABB showcased over 40 AI driven solutions from its four business units, covering multiple fields from production automation to green manufacturing. For example, AI enhanced computer vision is revolutionizing quality control and object recognition, achieving faster and more accurate detection. The predictive ability of AI has also been fully demonstrated in data-driven predictive maintenance and smart energy management applications, which not only helps to improve resilience and efficiency, but also effectively promotes sustainable development.

Currently, ABB hasOver 250 ongoing AI projectsCovering both analytical AI and generative AI, the number has doubled compared to a year ago. These projects include both internal projects that optimize workflows and improve efficiency, as well as external projects developed in close collaboration with clients to drive product innovation and tap into value potential.

in China,ABB's AI solutions are creating tangible value for different industriesFor example:

ABB Xiamen Industrial Center has achieved 50% green electricity substitution by installing a 100000 square meter rooftop photovoltaic system. ABB's smart energy solution is equipped with AI algorithms for power generation prediction and load forecasting, achieving precise and flexible control, improving energy efficiency, and reducing annual carbon emissions by 13400 tons.

• ABB's intelligent solution for upgrading heating pipeline network applies AI algorithms based on big data of frequency converters to analyze and warn the energy consumption of more than 2000 frequency converters in Xinjiang Tianfu Energy Heating Branch, providing reference for customers to take energy-saving measures and achieving significant results in energy conservation and efficiency improvement.
• ABB has deployed an intelligent manufacturing solution for Qingdao Special Steel's new high-speed wire production line. The intelligent operator platform based on System 800xA integrates the original four operating rooms into a centralized control center, promoting better collaboration and interaction. The AI image recognition system can provide abnormal production status warnings and be linked with digital control logic.
• ABB has provided an innovative power distribution system solution for the Western large data center, Kecheng Cloud, targeting the data center industry. The solution includes high-performance switchgear, circuit breakers, and software, among others. Its digital capabilities reduce operational energy consumption and optimize Power Usage Efficiency (PUE), providing strong support for the construction of high-quality computing infrastructure in China.

When ideas converge in resonance, innovation flourishes. ABB adheres to customer needs as the starting point of innovation, and through the "testing learning promotion" model, promotes the deep integration of artificial intelligence into operations and products, collaborates with all parties to unlock more intelligent solutions, and helps various industries achieve lean and cleaner operations, continuously releasing new driving forces for industrial upgrading.
