On February 8th, the Peking University NSD Entrepreneurs AI Class visited Gtrontec for a field tour and thematic discussion on manufacturing digitalization and AI applications. The entrepreneurs first explored Gtrontec's Industrial Intelligent Innovation Base, gaining a systematic understanding of its product service system, typical industry application scenarios, and benchmark cases in smart manufacturing and industrial AI, directly experiencing the real-world implementation forms of AI technology in manufacturing sites.

During the subsequent exchange and discussion, Liu Jiafeng, General Manager of Gtrontec's Central China Region, engaged in in-depth discussions with the participants on the practical challenges and implementation paths of enterprise digital transformation. Drawing from Gtrontec's experience serving tens of thousands of manufacturing enterprises, Liu shared the core logic and methodology for advancing digitalization and AI applications. He emphasized that digital transformation must return to the essence of business, tailoring specific paths that align with industry characteristics and development stages—such as systematically reconstructing core value streams, leveraging the synergy of digitalization and AI to transform data into decision-making capabilities, ultimately driving a leap in overall production and operational efficiency. The participants actively exchanged ideas around the pain points of their own enterprises' transformations, generating many practical insights.

Professor Hou Hong, Assistant Professor of Management at Peking University NSD, Ph.D. from the University of Cambridge, and core lecturer of the Entrepreneurs AI Class, elevated the discussion from an academic and strategic perspective. He systematically elaborated on the three pillars of successful digital transformation—strategic guidance, organizational delivery, and technological enablement. He pointed out that at the strategic level, it is essential to answer 'why transform'—whether it is for cost reduction and efficiency improvement or to reshape the business model; at the organizational level, endogenous digital capabilities must be built and embedded into the organizational DNA to deliver value; at the technological level, scientific selection should be based on scenario matching. The systemic framework formed by these three pillars provides clear guidance for enterprises to avoid transformation pitfalls and achieve sustainable change.

The Peking University NSD Entrepreneurs AI Class is initiated by the National School of Development at Peking University, targeting enterprise decision-makers with strategic vision and practical foundations, focusing on the forefront of artificial intelligence and industrial transformation. The course systematically explores how AI technology reshapes corporate strategy, organization, and business models through a combination of academic research, industrial practice, and in-depth exchanges with benchmark enterprises, helping entrepreneurs build long-term competitiveness in the new wave of technological advancement.

This visit and exchange not only deepened the understanding of the Peking University NSD entrepreneurs regarding industrial AI and digital transformation paths but also showcased Gtrontec's practical depth and platform value in the field of industrial AI.
