Taking Ling Yunguang as an example, we firmly focus on the AOI technology of appearance inspection and are committed to improving the detection accuracy and efficiency through technological innovation. After years of unremitting efforts, we have made breakthrough progress, making AOI reach a high level of nearly 99% in the actual application of factories. This achievement not only reflects our strength in the field of industrial machine vision, but also opens a new way for the application of artificial intelligence in the industrial field. In the future development, we will continue technological trends and market dynamics, and continue to promote the innovation and application of machine vision technology. Q2 Moderator (Yang Yi): The industrial industry will be significantly regulated in 2023, and the recovery in 2024 will not be obvious, but entrepreneurs have found the key to support sustainable innovation. How do enterprises position themselves in the context of the close coupling of AI and visual technology and the joint promotion of innovation and development? For teams that have not yet achieved strong coupling, please put forward your views and suggestions on future innovation and development. Mekamande (Shao Tianlan) Our strategy is clear and pragmatic. We do not blindly pursue independent research and development, or choose not to set foot in a certain field. Once we decide to enter, we must go all out to pursue outstanding performance in this field until we reach the world's top level. There is no so-called "intermediate state" or "almost OK" option. In the face of projects and opportunities, we conduct in-depth evaluation and choose the most cost-effective solution. As for our company, we will carefully analyze which fields we can achieve the best in the world, and invest a lot of energy and resources in these fields, such as imaging effects, robot technology combination, etc., and invest a lot of energy and resources. In other areas, we choose the ready-made solutions that best meet the needs of the market. We pursue the maximization of time cost and resource utilization. Baidu (Huang Feng) Baidu's platform has a clear positioning. At the initial stage, it has accumulated practical experience by stepping down to develop applications in person, which has precipitated into a "see" application development platform. Today, we mainly provide platform tools and methodologies to help partners. The sales channel also shifted from direct sales to partner distribution, promoting the wide application of the platform. We are also exploring new strategies, such as "one see" all-in-one machine, setting up regional general agents to achieve large-scale development. We always take platformization as the core and empower partners to jointly promote the progress of the industry. Simao (Shen Xiaoyong) In the wave of AI technology, Simao Technology is undergoing a profound transformation from a single AI company to a leader in software and hardware industry with AI as the core technology. We have a deep understanding of the market potential brought by the integration of software and hardware, and we have focused on the smart sensor market and the AOI standard machine field, which are just the frontier of intelligent technology. Based on the cutting-edge big model technology, we have developed a series of innovative software platforms and solutions that can support our ecological partners to quickly and efficiently realize project interaction and shorten the transformation cycle of products from concept to market. We not only focus on technological innovation, but also on building systematic capabilities. We work closely with suppliers and customers to ensure that every link from raw material procurement to product delivery is accurate and efficient, and to maximize the value of the entire ecosystem. Our goal is to create an open, cooperative and win-win industrial ecology, so that each ecological partner can play their own advantages and jointly promote industrial progress and innovation.

The marginal application of our algorithms improves computing efficiency, enriches intelligent scene applications, and promotes AI to bring greater value to the industry. Aqiu (Zhong Kehong) Aqiu has a clear positioning and is committed to AI vision platform and vision system products. Faced with the challenge of high AI deployment costs in the industrial field, we adopt a data centric strategy to build a common model of high-quality data platforms and vertical scenarios and reduce the threshold for AI deployment. Create a vision system product integrating software and hardware. We focus on these two core points to promote AI for every factory! The host (Yang Yi), facing the rapid development of artificial intelligence, our leading enterprises stick to their goals and ideals and accurately position the market. Ling Yunguang Slogan has changed from "Vision+AI" to "AI+Vision", highlighting the core position of AI in visual technology. This is not only a technical challenge, but also a challenge to the way of thinking and working. Ling Yunguang's decision to adjust Slogan contains a profound understanding of the role of AI in visual technology. From focusing on the realization of visual technology in the past to emphasizing the core position of AI in visual technology today, we realize the importance of giving machines powerful "brains". With the rise of deep learning, the integration of AI and visual technology has become increasingly obvious, and we are facing challenges and opportunities. This adjustment shows our firm confidence and active exploration for future development. Q3 The host (Yang Yi), the country gives high priority to the meta universe and artificial intelligence, and is promoting large state-owned enterprises to lead innovation and build an industrial chain ecosystem. The machine vision industry needs to explore new innovation paths to adapt to the diversity of customer groups. The progress of civilization is based on the use of energy and information, and innovation in the field of machine vision is the key. At present, the ecology of technology giants mostly stays in the promotion mode, rather than real integration and innovation. The innovation ecology of machine vision industry needs to be built. Changes in technology and talent demand require comprehensive and cross disciplinary talents to promote industry progress. Please share your views. Achu (Zhong Kehong) AI technology brings a wide range of application scenarios and market potential for machine vision. Innovation has costs, and greater market demand is the key support guarantee. AI technology changes technology and product form, business model and cooperation mode. It is necessary to abandon the old thinking model, jointly develop new technologies and products, and create a new value chain ecology. Hai Kang (Xu Zhijun) We have established joint laboratories and carried out cooperation projects with colleges and universities. In the process of cooperation, we found that many outstanding students with active and innovative thinking have the potential to cultivate. We have been carrying out the construction of the ecological system, including the training and certification of industry talents, and launching competitions for colleges and universities. At the same time, we have also attracted outstanding students to join through the combination of production, teaching and research, providing practical opportunities for students to better understand the actual needs of the industry, and help students accumulate experience and improve skills. We serve the long-term development of the industry through the construction of the ecological cooperation system and the training of industry talents. Simou (Shen Xiaoyong) Simou Technology believes that the core of innovation lies in creating value and is committed to the common prosperity of enterprises and society. We work together with Shenzhen Polytechnic University to explore talent cultivation in industrial AI field, and are committed to cultivating AI elites with forward-looking thinking and practical ability. At the same time, we focus on the creation of industrial value. By building a big data quality management platform and using cutting-edge data analysis technology, we conduct all-round monitoring and management of product quality to help enterprises significantly improve the overall production quality. Baidu (Huang Feng) AI technology has a profound impact on ecological change. New productivity will bring changes in production relations, and even reshape the industrial chain. The starting point of AI is to solve problems, and clarifying customer needs is the key. The social division of labor is refined, and companies should focus on areas of expertise and establish close cooperation with partners. Baidu is committed to the promotion and education of AI technology, launching the in-depth learning framework Flying Paddle public welfare course, and cooperating with many universities to help cultivate AI talents. We hope to promote the implementation and application of AI technology and realize commercial value and social value. Mekamander (Shao Tianlan) meta universe, artificial intelligence big model, robot and other technologies are gradually integrated, indicating that virtual reality is more closely intertwined. Domestic and foreign enterprises are promoting technological innovation and application. However, we should also face up to the gap between domestic and international levels in some areas, and more enterprises need to join the ranks of technological innovation. It is suggested that domestic enterprises should strengthen cooperation and exchange, and the government should also increase support for scientific and technological innovation to provide more policy support and resource guarantee for enterprises. The host (Yang Yi) summarized, thanked, shared and communicated. Facing the rapid rise of AI technology, we need to think deeply about how to better integrate innovation. In the past two decades, the Machine Vision Industry Alliance (CMVU) has always maintained an open and cooperative attitude, promoted the integration of industry and education, trained professionals, actively led the government and large enterprises to participate in the innovation process, and deepened the integration of industry and education.
