The meeting was chaired by Zhai Yanfen, Deputy Director of the China Software Testing Center, with over a hundred representatives from the academic committee, industry joint laboratories, working group member units, research institutes, industry users, and leading enterprises attending.
Peng Gangping, Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of China Huadian Corporation, stated in his speech that the deep integration of AI technology and industrial software is a major issue in breaking the efficiency bottlenecks and safety dilemmas across the entire energy production, transmission, and consumption chain. Huadian Corporation will adhere to serving national strategies and the high-quality development needs of the industry, focusing on key core technology breakthroughs, enhancing innovation leadership capabilities, and cultivating innovative talent teams, continuously stimulating innovation and creativity to contribute “Huadian Corporation’s strength” to the transformation and upgrading of the energy industry.Zhu Min, Director of the Laboratory and Vice President of the China Electronics Information Industry Development Research Institute, expressed in his speech that in recent years, artificial intelligence has become an important engine for the development of new productive forces. Industrial control systems are facing significant changes such as flattening architecture, open ecosystems, and intelligent technologies, necessitating a comprehensive and strategic approach. The laboratory will continue to strengthen the construction and management of the key laboratory based on national strategic needs and the requirements of new industrialization, enhancing the laboratory’s strategic support and industrial innovation service capabilities.
Sun Linfu, Chief Professor at Southwest Jiaotong University and Leader of the Expert Group for the National Key R&D Program “Industrial Software”, delivered a keynote report titled “Innovation of Industrial Software and Intelligent Transformation of the Industry”, providing a detailed interpretation of the systematic innovation development process of industrial software, proposing advanced production models based on industrial interconnectivity and intelligence, and sharing typical application cases from key industries such as high-end nuclear medicine equipment.
To promote innovative research in the industry, the meeting also held a ceremony for the appointment of new academic committee members, appointing Professor Sun Linfu as the Deputy Director of the Academic Committee and appointing Xi Kewai, Zhu Ming, Wang Huali, Liu Xuezhong, Yu Kang, and Mao Xidao as academic committee members.
Yang Xuezhi, Executive Deputy Director of the Laboratory and General Manager of the Industrial Control System Research and Evaluation Division of the China Electronics Information Industry Development Research Institute, presented the “2024 Annual Work Report and 2025 Work Plan of the Laboratory”. Yu Kang, Chairman of Guoneng Xinkong Technology Co., Ltd., presented the “Work Report of the Wind Power Industry Joint Laboratory”. Zhou Haixiang, General Manager of the State Nuclear Automation System Engineering Company, presented the “Work Report of the Nuclear Energy Industry Joint Laboratory”.
During the meeting, five units including the CCID Research Institute, China Huadian, State Nuclear Automation, Guoneng Xinkong, and China Nuclear Control jointly initiated the establishment of the “New Power Industrial Control Working Group”. This group aims to conduct research on major common and industrial common technologies for the power industry, promoting the formation of an industrial closed loop of “demand-technology-product-application”, and jointly building a pilot verification environment for industrial operating systems, creating a full-chain service system covering concept verification to industrialization. Jing Hailin, Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of Nanjing Automation Co., Ltd., reported on the work ideas and plans under the title “Planning the New Power Industrial Control System and Building an Innovation Consortium of Central Enterprises”.
