Huawei is a world-renowned Fortune 500 company. In recent years, Huawei has carried out many technological research and has a big advantage in industry applications of 5G communications, big data, artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and intelligent manufacturing. In the past two years, the intelligent manufacturing team of CIST has cooperated with Huawei to successfully implement projects such as automatic steel transfer of medium and heavy plates, surface inspection of bars and aluminum strips, which produced an important impact in the steel industry. After negotiation, the two parties will set up a joint working group to make full use of the industry research capabilities of Beijing University of Science and Technology and Huawei, not only to utilize the comprehensive advantages in the ICT field to promote the establishment of cutting-edge technology research and technical standards for 5G+ industrial vision in related industries, but also to form a long-term mechanism in the joint output of scientific research and the transformation.
