On January 10, Getech was invited to attend the second session of the AI Empowering the Future Seminar hosted by the Qiushi Yuan Semiconductor Alliance. Together with semiconductor industry peers, Getech analyzed the AI market and explored the future of industrial AI. Yang Li, Marketing Director of Getech, delivered a keynote speech titled "AI Activates Software, Accelerating New Industry," providing attendees with profound insights and cutting-edge perspectives on AI applications in the industrial sector. This broadened the dimensions of the discussion and offered valuable references and inspiration for other manufacturing industries leveraging AI.
Currently, AI technology, particularly generative AI with its highly available and anthropomorphic pre-trained large models, brings unprecedented imagination to industrial intelligence. Originating from industrial software and evolving over six years into a leading AI-driven industrial intelligence solutions provider, Getech has deeply participated in the growth and development of China's industrial applications. As Getech's marketing head, Yang Li identified three major stages in the development of industrial AI applications: point empowerment, scenario empowerment, and comprehensive application. Industrial AI is now advancing toward the stage of comprehensive intelligent application, which will not only enable more comprehensive optimization of equipment and factories but also facilitate precise decision-making for production and operations across entire enterprises and even industrial chains through knowledge-based self-learning and self-optimization, driving industry toward intelligence.
Leveraging generative AI technology to promote the deep integration of pre-trained large models with industrial scenarios is the current trend in industrial AI. Industrial large models, built on foundational large models as the technical base and focused on industrial applications, are becoming a key direction for AI to deeply empower new industrialization. Yang Li emphasized that integrating data and expert experience from specific industrial sectors to form vertical, scenario-specific, and professional industrial models can provide low-cost solutions for technological breakthroughs and product innovation, which is of great significance for promoting high-quality development in manufacturing.
While aiming high, it is essential to stay grounded. The current concrete manifestation of industrial AI implementation lies in the coverage of scenario empowerment. Yang Li mentioned that production management scenarios are the key focus of industrial AI applications, accounting for over 57%. This is due to the significant effectiveness of scenario demands, strong data accessibility, and high technological maturity. Based on Getech's industrial AI business layout and hands-on practice, the AI simulation platform developed by Getech for TCL CSOT's production management scenarios has achieved product digital twins, shortened development time, and improved development quality. In 2024, the LCD simulation platform generated total benefits of over 80 million RMB, while the OLED simulation platform generated total benefits of over 150 million RMB. In quality management scenarios, AI deep learning algorithms enable automatic defect detection, classification, and handling, identifying the causes of abnormalities and saving TCL CSOT approximately 50 million RMB annually.
Yang Li stated that Getech is an industrial intelligence solutions provider with three pillars: AI, industrial software, and smart equipment. Its business scenarios cover manufacturing execution, equipment automation, quality management, energy and carbon management, logistics automation, and digital supply chain, with a target market focused on the pan-semiconductor manufacturing industry. Regarding Getech's pan-semiconductor DNA, conclusions can be drawn from the AI application cases she shared across various sub-sectors such as semiconductors, chips, displays, lithium batteries, and photovoltaics. Getech not only provides deep digital services integrating "AI + CIM + AMHS" for semiconductor factories covering integrated circuits, discrete devices, optoelectronic devices, and sensors but also possesses deep know-how in displays, photovoltaics, and other fields, based on TCL Group's 40 years of smart manufacturing experience. This market focus greatly benefits the overall integration and scheduling of digital resources in the industry, enhancing the resilience and flexibility of the pan-semiconductor smart manufacturing industry chain. As a hands-on practitioner empowering the pan-semiconductor industry, Getech's achievements are particularly remarkable. To date, Getech has served over 1,000 projects, hundreds of manufacturing enterprises, and created more than 200 benchmark projects. The company receives over 100 thank-you letters from customers annually, with a customer repurchase rate as high as 70%. In the future, Getech will continue to uphold its vision of "Making Industry Smarter," constantly exploring and innovating to promote the broader application of AI technology in the industrial sector and accelerate the high-quality development of the pan-semiconductor manufacturing industry.
