Gechuang takes service productization as its development direction, and its business layout focuses on data value mining and realization.
It is learned that TCL’s industrial internet company “Gechuang Dongzhi” Obtained RMB 100 million yuan A round of financing from Yunfeng Fund, which will be mainly used for R&D and ecological expansion of industrial Internet platforms and applications. This round of financing is Gechuang Dongzhi’s first public financing, and it is also Yunfeng Fund’s first investment case in the industrial Internet field.
“Ge Chuang Dong Zhi” is an industrial Internet company incubated by TCL in 2018. Its main products include industrial IoT platforms, big data platforms, application development platforms (APaaS) for field engineers and other tool platforms and machine vision inspection For industrial applications such as virtual measurement, equipment health management, and energy management, the core of its business focuses on the realization of the value of industrial field data.
He Jun, CEO of Ge Chuang Dong Zhi, introduced that the first phase of the company’s development mainly focused on industries such as LCD panels, semiconductors, and electronic communications. High density, high degree of automation, and high continuity of production. Correspondingly, its equipment operation and maintenance, yield improvement, etc. bring obvious benefits. In the process of intelligent transformation, these enterprises already have a high level of digitization, but traditional IT and applications cannot meet the real-time and trending requirements of equipment and process monitoring. For example, panel manufacturers need to find film thickness and thousands of process processes The relationship between process parameters, real-time fitting predicts the film thickness value, so as to achieve “real-time full inspection”, reduce the frequency of physical sampling and poor quality. In response to these scenarios and requirements, Gechuang Dongzhi has developed industrial applications such as virtual measurement, equipment predictive maintenance, energy optimization, and machine vision monitoring based on deep learning.
Each intelligent application of Gechuang is developed based on its industrial Internet platform. At present, more than 50 industrial models and more than 300 general and self-developed algorithms in more than 50 categories have been accumulated on the platform.
Gechuang Industrial Internet Architecture
According to the introduction, Gechuang takes service productization as its development direction, and its business layout logic also revolves around the mining and realization of industrial data value. Gechuang can help customers to provide a full range of product solutions from IOT bottom data access, industrial big data analysis, industrial application development, and equipment, production, energy management, etc. Among them, the data-related IOT, big data platform and application development platform have weak industry attributes and are easier to use across industries. It is Ge Chong’s current core product line. Equipment management, energy management, etc. are the core applications of the platform.
Gechuang believes that front-line engineers are an important role in realizing industrial intelligent transformation. Front-line engineers are familiar with production scenarios, but lack the necessary digital tools to generate intelligent applications. Gechuang developed the APAAS platform specifically for engineers and created the “Industrial Geek” section. The platformThrough the low-code graphical development interface, engineers can build the smart applications they need through “Torra” It is understood that, based on the platform, a production engineer can complete the access of an existing protocol device in 1 minute, complete the configuration of a device monitoring and alarm rule in 10 minutes, and complete the construction of a device predictive analysis model in 1 hour. At present, Ge Chuang Dong Zhi is also collaborating with universities and other teaching and training institutions to launch the teaching version of the APAAS platform.
At present, the company is still dominated by customers in the service industry. At the same time, the platform and applications are also undergoing lightweight transformation and public version iteration. It will be promoted to small and medium customers in a subscription mode in the future.
He Chong, CEO of Ge Chuang Dong Zhi, served as the chief strategy officer of Cisco Greater China. He has 20 years of experience in the high-tech and Internet industries, mainly covering consulting, Digitalization, intelligent manufacturing and industrial Internet. In terms of talent recruitment, the company emphasizes the integration of IT and OT talents, TCL internal manufacturing talents and external industry talents. At present, the company has a total of 700 employees, and the number of product and technical teams exceeds 80%.
Yun FengjiJin said that this strategic cooperation with TCL Group and Ge Chuang Dong Zhi is an important layout of Yunfeng in the industrial Internet field. From an industry perspective, Yunfeng has been paying attention to investment opportunities in the manufacturing industry under the general trend of the industrial Internet, and hopes to integrate it with the invested enterprise cloud services, big data, artificial intelligence and other projects into an organic ecology. As the incubator of Gechuang Dongzhi, TCL is a leading domestic intelligent manufacturing company, which has a layout in artificial intelligence and Internet technology, and has its own genes for combining manufacturing and technology. Ge Chuang Dong Zhi is one of the few domestic industrial Internet platform companies that has layouts at all levels of the Industrial Internet. It focused on precision manufacturing in the early stage. It will follow the market-oriented operation mechanism to expand other industries, optimistic about the company’s research and development strength and business expansion. ability.
