Dongguan leverages AI to upscale manufacturing

As a major manufacturing city in Guangdong province, Dongguan has launched an initiative to promote the integration of artificial intelligence within traditional manufacturing, aiming to drive the deep application of cutting-edge technologies in the industrial sector.

The city plans to develop at least three large-scale foundational models for manufacturing, with more than 135 industrial small models with high precision and stability, industrial apps, and industrial intelligent bodies by the end of 2027.

In the latest move, an AI big model center was launched in the city in late March, marking the establishment of the nation's first prefecture-level big model center focusing on the manufacturing sector and accelerating the overall process of intelligence across industries.
