From July 16 to 20, 2025, Getech, a leading industrial intelligence company incubated by TCL, reappeared at the China International Supply Chain Expo (hereinafter referred to as the 2025 Supply Chain Expo), unveiling the transformation path of smart factories in the pan-semiconductor field in the AI era under the theme 'AI + Industry'. On the morning of July 18, He Jun, Vice President of TCL Industries and CEO of Getech, attended the digital technology theme event, delivered a keynote speech titled 'AI Leads, Chain Drives New Quality—TCL Smart Factory's Path to Productivity Innovation,' and was a guest in the live broadcast rooms of top media outlets such as CGTN and China Central Television. As the world's first national-level exhibition with the supply chain as its theme, after careful cultivation in the previous two sessions, this year's Supply Chain Expo features stronger innovation, a more international style, and higher 'connectivity.' Meanwhile, AI became the biggest highlight of this exhibition, with star AI companies such as NVIDIA and Yushu Technology competing to 'bloom,' jointly showcasing AI terminal achievements with multiple ecosystem partners.

This participation not only continued the 'technology + scenario' display model of previous Supply Chain Expos but also debuted an innovative platform and solutions based on industrial AI large models. In the industrial AI large model workshop exhibition area, the live demonstration of the 'Octopus Intelligent Brain Agentic AI Platform' attracted thousands of delegates to stop and inquire. The platform supports access to 25+ mainstream models, allowing front-line engineers to develop AI applications through a visual RAG knowledge base and intelligent agent orchestration engine with 'drag-and-drop' operations, such as the equipment knowledge base assistant 'Xiao Luban,' achieving fault response in seconds and SOP accumulation. In the industrial AI intelligent solutions area, Getech's AI-driven, independently controllable end-to-end industrial intelligent solutions for energy and carbon, quality, and equipment automation were showcased. The factory energy and carbon brain system optimizes energy consumption with AI, saving over ten million yuan in electricity costs annually; the QMS quality management system has integrated AI-assisted 8D report generation, improving yield management efficiency; the EAP equipment automation system optimizes formulas through intelligent analysis, reducing operation and maintenance costs by 30%. These highlights not only emphasize technological breakthroughs but also demonstrate the practical strength of Getech's three strategic pillars: 'AI + Industrial Software + Intelligent Equipment.'

On the morning of July 18, He Jun shared for the first time TCL's core path to industrial intelligence. In the field of AI, TCL is adopting a dual-drive transformation pattern of 'consumer end + manufacturing end,' matching applicable AI implementation solutions. Combining TCL's comprehensive digital transformation process, He Jun refined five paths for planning a group-level AI platform and scenario construction: first, building a digital organization; second, selecting the best implementation path; third, choosing key industries to build vertical large models; fourth, rapidly implementing for general scenarios; fifth, continuously integrating internal and external capabilities, deepening industry engagement, and enhancing competitiveness.

Taking the integration of internal and external capabilities as an example, in April 2025, Getech and the University of Hong Kong jointly established an industrial AI joint laboratory, achieving breakthroughs in key technologies with external support in core professional fields. From the central level to the industry level, TCL continues to practice the goal of 'using AI to strengthen the chain and build new quality productivity.' This sharing also attracted the attention of CGTN reporters. During an interview, He Jun stated that this deep cooperation between Getech and the University of Hong Kong is also about further strengthening their capabilities in the supply chain, focusing on AI capability building in the supply chain field by leveraging the University of Hong Kong's cutting-edge operations research models and TCL CSOT's实战 scenarios of industrial chain collaboration. It is worth noting that as early as 2009, TCL began exploring AI technology, with annual R&D investment reaching 14 billion yuan, and achieved AI applications in multiple fields in 2024, generating an economic benefit of 540 million yuan from AI.

As the main force of TCL's industrial intelligence sector, Getech's independently controllable industrial intelligent solutions have been validated for effectiveness in TCL's industries and several leading enterprises in multiple sectors. At TCL CSOT, it helped build China's first semiconductor display smart factory with 100% independently controllable core CIM systems, achieving an industry-leading automation rate of 98% and realizing lean production management and极致 yield; in the semiconductor field, projects such as SMIC and Wuhan Xinxin achieved 100% delivery satisfaction.

Getech's journey at the Supply Chain Expo is a microcosm of TCL's 'technology + industry' strategy. From the industrial AI breakthrough formula to实战 cases, from Hong Kong's industry-academia-research collaboration to empowering global customers, the company is driving the intelligent leap of the industrial chain with an innovation engine. In the future, Getech will continue to deepen its '3+1+N' development strategy, making AI a cellular-level渗透力 in manufacturing and writing a new chapter of high quality for 'Made in China with Intelligence.'
