Conch Group, China Building Materials Federation (CBMF), and Huawei, have collaborated on the launch of an AI model for the cement building materials industry, marking a significant milestone in the Digital Transformation of the cement building materials sector.
With the support of CBMF, Conch Group and Huawei began constructing an AI model for the cement building materials industry in April 2024. Since then, Conch Group and Huawei have identified over 200 promising AI application scenarios across 15 categories spanning the entire process – from mining to packaging and shipment. Conch has set up an AI training centre using Huawei Cloud Stack – specifically, Huawei Cloud Pangu prediction, CV and NLP models to create an AI operating system that integrates central training, edge inference, cloud-edge synergy, continuous learning and ongoing optimisation.
The AI model in the cement building materials industry leverages extensive cement industry data and industry expertise. Through real-time data analysis and autonomous learning, it has made significant breakthroughs in more than 40 scenarios in five categories: quality control, production optimisation, equipment management, safe production and intelligent Q&A.
In places where the model has been implemented so far, operators have benefitted from dynamic optimisation of process parameters, response to exception warnings in seconds and maximisation of resource utilisation, introducing a new intelligent engine for high-quality industry development.
The model represents not only a significant achievement for Conch Group but also embodies the result of its deep collaboration with Huawei. Both organisations plan to continue using advanced technologies like AI to fuel intelligent transformation and foster steady and rapid growth in sectors like cement, building materials and the wider manufacturing sector.
