[Budapest, Hungary, November 8, 2023] The 5G Smart Factory Forum was held today at the Huawei European Supply Center (HESC) in Budapest. Huawei said at the forum that 5G-powered innovative solutions such as self-driving cars, AI-driven quality control, and AR-assisted remote maintenance will serve as typical applications and basic functions of future smart factories. .

To promote the widespread adoption of 5G and AI technologies in Industry 4.0-related fields and promote the development of the digital economy, Huawei has joined the Global Alliance on AI for Industry and Manufacturing to develop innovative technologies for Industry 4.0 infrastructure. It pledged to continue promoting the integration of 5G solutions. (AIM Global) was founded by the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO).
Vicky Zhang, Deputy General Manager of Huawei’s Global Corporate Communications Department, said that as the commercial use of 5G enters its fourth year, innovative applications that integrate 5G, AI, and cloud computing technologies will be used in various industries, especially smart manufacturing. He said that it is used in the field. She also pointed out that there are already mature best practices, like Patty’s HESC, that demonstrate tangible business and social value for these innovative applications.
“Second, Huawei will work with international organizations such as UNIDO to promote the sharing and application of 5G industrial infrastructure solutions and related capabilities around the world to promote the development of Industry 4.0,” Zhang said. Ta.
In July this year, Huawei and UNIDO launched AIM Global, which is dedicated to building a platform for collaboration and knowledge sharing and promoting the innovation and application of AI technology in the industrial and manufacturing sectors.
Dr. Ulrike Fassbender, a professor at the University of Hohenheim in Germany, sees HESC as a prime example of rapid development and innovation facilitated by digitalization. She said: “The impact of digital solutions such as augmented reality and autonomous forklifts, enabled by 5G connectivity, will be truly transformative for the workplace. If properly leveraged, these technologies will help employees avoid harsh and unhealthy conditions. “This will allow you to solve tasks more efficiently while protecting yourself from tedious tasks.” As the average age of the workforce rises, improving these working conditions will be critical to employability. ”
Dr. Fassbender said countries and companies that fail to take advantage of technology will lose their competitiveness in the digital economy, and that economies can only remain dynamic by rotating around ecosystems that serve industry.
“HESC first introduced a 5G-powered automation solution at the end of 2019. Since then, we have integrated our dedicated core network with local edge computing systems,” said Sundar Papp, Deputy Director of HESC. “We have achieved self-driving forklifts and self-driving.” “Full automation of the entire logistics system has been achieved. In addition, AI-powered quality control and AR-powered remote maintenance have increased logistics efficiency across the campus by 20%, increasing the efficiency of the logistics system serving European customers. Wei’s abilities have improved significantly.”
“Going forward, Huawei will leverage its strengths in R&D, digital technology, and supply chain to strengthen collaboration with all enterprises across the supply chain. “We will help you strengthen the adoption of technology and intelligent technology. So that together we can achieve high-quality development,” he added.
Headquartered in Hungary, HESC is Huawei’s largest supply center outside of China and is responsible for supplying Huawei products to more than 50 countries in Europe, Central Asia, and North Africa. The center handles approximately 50,000 to 60,000 items every month, and uses 30 trucks to transport an average of 400 cubic meters of overseas cargo per day.
