Peng Guohua: Without servitization, the Industrial Internet of Things cannot develop
Peng Guohua, Secretary General of the Industrial Service Alliance, shared the "Report on the Development Trends of New Industrial Services in the Industrial Internet Era" ", Peng Guohua emphasized at the beginning of his speech that the greatest value of AR lies in the industrial field, and in industry, the greatest value is industrial services. "Internet industry" has developed to the "stage of Internet and industrial services". The biggest application area of ??industrial Internet is to reduce operation and maintenance costs. Manufacturing servitization will be a major trend in the next ten years, and industrial operation and maintenance servitization requires AR technology. When talking about the main scenarios for industrial AR implementation, Peng Guohua emphasized that helping users reduce factory operation and maintenance costs is the main breakthrough for AR implementation, because what most users want is not icing on the cake, and it is better to increase revenue than reduce expenditure. From the perspective of industrial services, the greatest application value of AR smart glasses is in industry. The greatest value of industry is to provide good industrial services. The application of AR smart glasses must be deeply integrated with industrial scenarios to burst out huge value. In the service-oriented industrial operation and maintenance , under the trend and wave of digitalization and networking, through the large-scale use, experience accumulation and value creation of industrial service providers and equipment manufacturers, AR smart glasses have the opportunity to become an important industrial service carrier and re-construct the industrial value chain.
Ye Yuping: Smart space redefines the future of the city, smart glasses are an important carrier
Ye Yuping, chief strategy officer of iSoftStone, brought the theme of "Smart space redefines the future of the city" Speech, "The world is a digital 'smart space', and AR smart glasses are the core of entering the smart space. There are authoritative data reports. So far, the annual growth rate of AR is 80.3%. It is obvious that this is an explosive market, but The premise is to have the ability to scenario and digitize. "Ye Yuping proposed that the AR smart glasses industry ecosystem needs to have infrastructure construction to digitize the real world. Only with full digitization can the application end of AR smart glasses be obtained in different dimensions. expand. Smart glasses need to have meaningful information to be useful. In the mirror world of digital twins, physical stores in the mall have storefronts in the virtual world. If you walk on the road outside the mall, you can see the store information inside the mall through your glasses. Will people buy smart glasses? Wherever there are Japanese materials, tell me in the virtual twin space in front of you. When digital generation and image information creation have accumulated to a certain extent, you will buy smart glasses. Otherwise, why buy glasses? So sceneization is very important. Ye Yuping said that in the mobile Internet era, mobile phones play a "connective" role, and immersive experience will change the way people perceive the digital world. 3D visualization smart glasses will become an important tool in the smart space era. The last mile of immersive experience will be to use AR smart glasses as a carrier to build a bridge between people and Smart Spaces, providing customers with personalized experiences and services.
Wang Fei: The explosion of new media will bring about the explosion of integrated media technology
Zhang Guoxiang: Smart glasses will be the main tool for data interaction in the 5G era
Zhang Guoxiang, chairman of Pinzhen United Systems, shared the keynote speech of "AI Mid-stage Layout in Smart Spaces". Zhang Guoxiang said that although AR and VR have been developed for a long time, they have not yet truly achieved an industrial explosion, and there is a long way to go for industrial development. With the arrival of 5G, smart glasses will be the main tool for collecting data in the 5G era, and the era of AR/MR smart glasses is about to revolutionize. The penetrating visualization function of AR/MR smart glasses makes it the best carrier of smart space. Mobile devices will gradually be replaced in the future, and various industries will also develop different products based on modularization according to needs. AR/MR smart glasses will be the entrance to AI and smart space, and 5G will be the most important driver of diverse AR/MR applications in the future. Mr. Zhang said: "We have always lived in space. There are differences between past space and future space, because the future space will become an intelligent space after technological processing, and people will have more surprises in real life. At the same time, people's lifestyles will be restructured and become more intelligent. "In smart spaces, people will be constantly connected and interacting with the physical and digital worlds, and a large amount of digitization will become visible and even visible. It is 3D visualization, and all this will be realized through the carrier and service system platform of AR smart glasses.
Zhou Sihang: Smart glasses reduce the number of technical staff by 1/3
Zhou Sihang, deputy general manager of Hangzhou CRRC Digital Technology and a doctor of engineering, brought you some thoughts after practical application. He mentioned two aspects of the problem. First, from the perspective of the operating end, currently AR smart glasses are mainly used in real-time training, data collection, real-time entry, real-time query and other scenarios. Behind such scenarios, there needs to be a system platform to support it. This system platform needs to have Construction and accumulation of corresponding business-end database. Second, from a management perspective, there is currently no effective plan for standardizing assessments, inspections, and training to manage the safety hazards of front-line workers. AR smart glasses cannot solve the risk-taking in the current management process. Zhou Sihang also introduced the operation and maintenance scenarios and industry pain points of rail transit. Zhou Sihang said that in the short term, it is impossible to replace operation and maintenance personnel with machines, and centralized training for technical personnel is far less effective than training during the work process. value. In terms of interaction methods, Zhou Sihang said that eyeball interaction is the best interaction method for smart glasses, and he also hopes that it can be realized in the future. Finally, Zhou Sihang shared the future application direction of the rail transit industry based on smart glasses - inspection image comparison, operation error correction, safety hazard warning, etc.
Jun Cai: AR smart police helmets redefine smart security
In the final roundtable session, Liang Wenlong, chairman of the Taiwan Smart Glasses Industry Association and chairman of Zuozhen Group, Yang Ming, Dean of Xinhua Net Integrated Media Future Research Institute, He Jianwen, Partner of Shanghai Chentao Asset Management, Ren Ruiqi, Shanghai Regional Operation Director of Haier Digital Technology COMOPlat of Haier Group, Wang Zhengdao, Government and Enterprise Business Director of Shanghai Nokia Bell Co., Ltd., and Li Xiaoyan, CEO of Linkage Elements , EPSON Business Director Han Linfeng respectively discussed the development trends of global smart glasses based on their respective industry fields, experiences and backgrounds. Discussions were held on topics such as "AR smart glasses connect smart spaces" and "AR smart glasses face new challenges in the 5G era". Everyone agrees that scenarios such as medical care, security, and industrial manufacturing are all in urgent need of AR smart glasses in the future. The real commercial implementation of 5G is still about a year away. How to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and use the AR smart glasses application platform to make abundant use of Applications growing on it will generate value, which will be a huge challenge for a long time to come.
First of all, Dean Yang of Xinhuanet said that in the past, smart glasses were used as a guide, but today we need to take demand as a guide.
What is intelligence? Intelligence must be able to distinguish individual differences. If you are still like traditional media, where everyone here watches the same content and does not know your experience after watching it, this is not called intelligence. Smart glasses are not just a tool to achieve intelligence. I think in a large ecological space, using adaptive capabilities to match voice, whatever you need, it can synthesize the physical data, physiological data, and psychological data in the entire space, and then Make calculations. The development of smart glasses has entered the stage of emotional interaction with people and other living things. This is the real future. Only by considering this future in a scenario can we have a business model. Why are this glasses different from that one? How do I establish a linkage with the glasses? This is an emotional relationship and a kind of dependence. My product, like a friend, goes beyond intelligence and enters the emotional realm. This is a cross-professional, cross-disciplinary, and cross-field challenge.
Director Liang of Zozhen Group said: It is wrong to use mobile phone platforms to make glasses. You can’t put a PC on your head to do everything, and that’s not right either. Many challenges, a lot of exploration, and some conclusions reached after verification. AR smart glasses need a breakthrough. We believe that the AR smart glasses industry will see big changes next year, and the changes will not come from hardware. It must be able to understand people and changes in the external physical environment. In the future, when we talk about smart glasses, it will no longer be just the ecological chain of hardware, but the entire smart space. The most important thing is that AR is the entrance to AI. One is the brain and the other is the eyes. 5G is the neural network. All information must be collected through the eyes. The closest thing to human eyes is glasses, which are also the most important carrier for communicating with the environment, information, and objects in the future. 5G is the driving force behind AR. Smart glasses are all processing images, which cannot be done without low latency.
Haier’s CEO Ren said: Haier has a lot of experience in the industrial field. From the perspective of smart space, smart glasses are a cross-space manifestation. Different from the fixed cameras that are very common in industrial scenes, smart glasses have two characteristics. One is that they are mobile. Second, in industrial scenes, collecting large amounts of data is mostly ineffective and meaningless. Smart glasses are worn in front of people, and people usually have the focus of attention, so they naturally form a precise demand flow entrance, so we are very optimistic about the development prospects of smart glasses in the industry. What is a rigid need? Cost is the biggest rigid necessity. We have been talking about Industry 4.0, including the industrial transformation of smart manufacturing, but the transformation faces huge cost pressure and may not bring more benefits. For example, if a factory needs to be renovated intelligently, the cost can range from tens of millions to a large one, and thousands of sensors are needed for a small renovation. Nowadays, Internet transformation is being done by large companies, and many companies do not have this capability. How to transform small and medium-sized manufacturing industries? We have considered several directions, including base station and basic network construction. When we saw Top Smart's products, our ideas suddenly broadened. They can alleviate this aspect from the perspective of two huge needs, especially in manufacturing. a historical period of industrial transformation and upgrading. In addition, the factory transformation is facing the problem of aging. In addition to automating, it is also necessary to improve the overall control ability of employees. This has also raised the requirement for personal intelligence, which requires the freedom of hands. Smart glasses are very good equipment and are matched with our equipment servers to achieve a set of standard solutions for industrial transformation.
Mr. Han from Epson: Products ultimately allow the entire industry to survive, and there must be some scenarios in life where they need to be used. For Epson, it wants smart glasses to be integrated into some aspects of life and become a product it must use. For example, security needs to be able to improve the efficiency of law enforcement and become a barrier in the life of the industry in the process of continuous development. There are many challenges along the way, but it can make life better. We realize that in many cases, it is not just one company that makes the industry develop. We need everyone to combine their own advantages to make this product solution a scene in daily life.
For smart glasses, 5G technology does not make it a better product, but allows the application itself to exert greater value. This is why in the next five years, nearly 60-70 companies in China will introduce it. The application of smart glasses is the biggest benefit to us. To be able to truly transform it into value in the wave requires further efforts.
Nokia President Bell Wang: The biggest change that 5G will bring to us is to allow operators to switch from selling traffic and connections to selling a slice. Our industry's application of slicing attributes is a package solution. We have to follow the sales thinking and connect the entire Nokia product line with partners to form a complete set of cloud, pipe and end solutions. We have a 5G network, a cloud platform, and smart glasses. I believe that smart glasses will gradually replace PCs and mobile phones as the next generation wearable mobile computing platform. The edge cloud of the Industrial Internet will not be heavily planned until June next year. Regardless of whether your company wants to deploy edge cloud or not, operators will make unified planning before June next year. Smart glasses applications are indeed necessary in some scenarios. For example, front-end and back-end integration. The 120 emergency center needs the guidance of expert doctors and the entire video and voice recording. This front-end and back-end requirement can free our hands for our smart glasses and can integrate the entire front-end and back-end. In addition, it is more convenient to communicate between the front end and the back end through smart glasses. We compare pictures through the first-person perspective of glasses. This comparison process is much simpler and more intuitive than using your mobile phone to record and ingest. What you see is the picture of the background machine or personnel comparison. It is very real and very appropriate. There are other scenarios in security and industrial manufacturing, which are all urgent needs for smart glasses.
Mr. Li from Linkage Elements: Why is the emergence of the Internet of Things inevitable in this era? What phenomena are inevitable due to its inevitability? First, it is inevitable that equipment will become intelligent in the future. Intelligentization will change some existing problems and some problems that could not be solved before. Second, the intelligentization of devices has created some new application values, but the application methods themselves have not changed. What are smart glasses? Traditional glasses are consumer-oriented products, but after becoming intelligent, smart glasses are no longer targeted at consumers, and have entered a wider range to serve users in more industries. Smart glasses alone will not work. They must be integrated with the surrounding environment and multiple devices, and they must be scene-based. In addition to talking about rigid needs, we should also think about the possibility that intelligence can solve the problem of weak needs. Because we are entering a fragmented application scenario, and it is not a single product that can solve the problem, but a combination of different products or solutions to solve a certain problem. At this time, we do not necessarily have to consider the rigid demand problem, but may need to continuously solve it. Weak demand problem.
Mr. He of Chentao Capital: AR glasses have changed from a technology product played by geeks to something that can now be gradually implemented. From a technology-driven product, it has become an application scenario-driven or A product driven by smart space. So, that is to say, it is an application that can be truly implemented and can be driven in the entire application scenario, whether it is smart factory, smart medical, or smart security. In a large scenario, AR glasses serve as important sensors and important display terminals, plus Various other sensing devices and various devices can be used to solve certain problems in the scene, which can solve the problem more efficiently and at a lower cost.
In general, the development and application value of the AR smart glasses industry is a process from the smart hardware stage to smart space planning. As far as AR smart glasses are concerned, the important hardware foundation is AR smart terminals, which have strong wearable and mobile attributes. Its commercialization and marketization require more than just optical systems, wireless communications, batteries, processors, and computer vision. The evolution of configurations such as technology, human-computer interaction capabilities and the technology industry chain, and the development of high-speed networks have also become important influencing factors. While realizing product wirelessization, it ensures large-capacity AR content applications and real-time intuitive experience of interaction and integration with the external environment.
As Top Smart general manager Li Chuanqing once said: "AR smart glasses are not just a hardware-integrated product, it is a huge industry chain, and Top Smart will be committed to connecting every link in this industry chain. Let AR smart glasses establish their own platform fortress in China. "
The industry expects that by 2020, enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB) and the Internet of Things will be based on 5G network-based VR/AR applications. (IoT) applications will experience explosive growth as 5G networks mature, and it is expected that the number of global connections will reach 100 billion by 2025. In the coming 5G era, society will have more expectations for the application value of AR smart glasses, and it will also generate more considerable social value...
