Baowu Steel sets up intelligent lab
A laboratory combining manufacturing, artificial intelligence and the internet was established on Thursday by China Baowu Steel Group, as the nation's biggest steelmaker looks to raise production efficiency with the aid of state-of-the-art technology.
The intelligent manufacturing technology and application joint studio, which is under Baowu Central Authority Research Institute, will serve as a platform for cooperation on artificial intelligence to promote the mutual development of AI and technological innovation.
Baowu Central Authority Research Institute has developed its own research and development capacity through cooperation with global universities, institutes and corporations, but it remains new to the AI sector, and that is why the AI research center was set up, said Zhang Qunliang, head of intelligent manufacturing institute at Baowu Central Authority Research Institute.
