In the third year of the Cloud Computing Conference, the theme of this year is “Enpower Digital China”. In the last speech, Mr. Ma focused on “new manufacturing” and expressed the view that “manufacturing relies on electricity in the past and data in the future” (of course, it was not the first time to mention this). A few years ago, students in the “e-commerce” industry were still struggling. Will those in the “manufacturing” industry feel a chill behind them?

Ma’s speech can be referred to Ma Yun’s speech at the Cloud Computing Conference: the manufacturing industry used to rely on electricity, and the future depends on data. Just finished 920 big promotion, 21st took time to go shopping.

Drive digital China, why not drive Digital China?

Data command center

📈 Data visualization

In zone A, the most impressive thing is the data command center of the whole Cloud Computing Conference, which is simply A shortened version of the urban brain, allowing participants to directly feel the shock of the actual application scene of the urban brain.

astronomical

🌖 Massive processing of data

I wonder why there is an astronomy booth?
The above spectrogram does not understand, 😭

It turns out that observatories like FAST produce a large amount of data every day. Massive data requires massive data storage and data processing capabilities, which are not available to all platforms.

“What does FAST bring us? It’s big data. In its early days, FAST produced raw data of 38GB/ SEC. That’s 3,283 terabytes of data in a day. Later, after data compression and processing, the amount of data is about 1/6 of the original, the total amount is still very large.” Cui Chenzhou said. 1

Alibaba Artificial Laboratory

🎧 Data processing & Intelligence

At present, alibaba ai lab has three major directions: Tmall Genie (intelligent voice processing), robots, logistics vehicles.

At present, the most popular product is Tmall Genie. Different from previous products, AI Labs launched more products this time, even the earphone can be done. How did you do it? After asking the relevant students, it turns out that the headset needs to connect with the mobile phone through Bluetooth, and then interact with the server through the mobile phone. So how are some of the devices from other manufacturers going to embrace intelligent voice? Tmall Genie provides a set of AliGenie Inside solution, and the relevant setting manufacturers only need to access the relevant SDK for software development. As for the back-end service, Ali Cloud or owncloud can be used. If it is owncloud, cloud-to-cloud connection is required, and the final connection needs to be intelligent service of AI Labs.

AI Labs also has new news. Compared with conventional bicycle intelligence, AI Labs naturally has a cooperative calculation and decision-making scheme based on its advantages in urban brain. Related sensing base stations are installed on the road. Moreover, the sensing base station can have more information input and avoid more blind areas. The advantages brought by synergy are obvious. In the program demonstration, in order to minimize safety risks, AI Labs’ intelligent driving has started from logistics vehicles. Compared with traditional intelligent driving, it can take fewer factors into consideration and be implemented more easily.

Digital agriculture

🌱 Data enabling agriculture

As a big agricultural country, China’s agriculture has become more and more high-tech in recent years under the background of national policy guidance and manufacturing transformation and upgrading.

The following picture is a project by a team of more than 20 people from Aliyun-Feitian 1-ET City Brain. The equipment in the picture will collect temperature and humidity, agricultural fertilizer and other information, as well as the cruise collection of the uav above (hardware Settings, Aliyun does not participate in). After input, Aliyun cooperates with the School of Biology of Wuhan University (academic cooperation plays a key role in the research of Dharma Institute) to conduct nutritional analysis of farm products, such as detecting soluble sugar and soluble protein, so as to form a positive cycle, improve planting and fertilization methods, and improve the quality of agricultural products.

There are also highly automated agriculture, such as soil-less cultivation in the cabinet, although there are only 4, but the price can reach ￥9.9, and the 9.9 vegetables can be completed by the machine in a highly automated, unifies, large-scale production.

There are more systematic modern agriculture, combined with modern science and technology, as well as reservoirs, drip irrigation, spraying, drip spraying and other water circulation systems, for more three-dimensional agricultural planting.

Digital education

📖 Digital empowerment education

The tablet can record students’ notes in real time and upload them to the server. Teachers can see the status of students’ questions in real time online, identify students’ “handwriting” through images, and quickly correct homework.

Here’s another picture… Today’s primary school students, so early under the leadership of the teacher to participate in the cloud conference (the teacher is introducing the rookie’s five-person storage logistics operation state), knowledge and vision, will surpass us and their peers a lot.

retail

🛒 xx Go, no one is the target

Unsold containers, Ruijie, singularity, in order to break through the traditional vending goods are not rich enough, have adopted the door to carry goods, combined with the camera and gravity sensor, automatic deduction fee.

Retail systems such as Margo X SUN MI x Sixun let me see that there are many opportunities in small gaps. Although they may not be big enough, these small points are enough for an enterprise to survive. As said in the poster, only to solve a coupon distribution method (grasp the subtle psychology of consumers like to grab red envelopes), as well as wechat and Alipay qr code unified.

A digital consumer operation platform

IOT

📡 data sources and manufacturers

As a hardware layman, what advantages do we have in making software? Today suddenly remembered, is it necessary to be so pessimistic? In fact, the software industry should have the same sense of crisis, hardware is also “precipitation”, all kinds of modules, all kinds of sensors, use it, Module as a Service~

Novelty

A computer in the water

A computer cooled by “water”

A combination of vertical lift and horizontal flight

The overall feeling

With data as the means of production, it helps the transformation and upgrading of digital China, including but not limited to manufacturing, retail, agriculture, education, public transportation, etc., with the help of various sensors to collect data (astronomical FAST, traffic cameras, soil state), to Ali Cloud data storage (DB), Data processing Service (Open Data Process Service, optimize agricultural product model, voice recognition, image and even video recognition, etc.) Assist manufacturing (personalized production, assembly line monitoring), education (handwriting recognition, homework correction, personalized question setting, positive sex education), agriculture (quality control, automatic fertilization, watering), public transportation (urban brain 2.0, industrial brain).

Alibaba in the future, will pay more attention to the role of “utility”, build the core technology strength, from IOT connectivity, as well as the establishment of communication protocol, mass storage technology, to the massive computing power to support (chip manufacturing, quantum computing), also can give partners more cooperation space, such as cooperation manufacturer hardware and manufacturing all kinds of sensors, PaaS and SaaS based on Alicloud partners, vehicle or intelligent voice based on AliOS and AliGenie, etc. (My own feelings, welcome to correct if wrong)

Digital drive China, digital Drive China, the two complement each other. Based on current projections, a qualified Programmer and digital ability will be a big plus. Times are changing so fast that I can’t keep up with them… 🤣
