Zheng Yelai, President of Huawei’s Cloud BU and President of the IT product line unveiled Huawei’s Enterprise Intelligence (EI) solution for the enterprise market while enlightening attendees about the current progress of the company’s cloud business. Huawei’s EI made its international debut at this year’s annual event ‘Huawei Connect 2017’.
Huawei’s Enterprise Intelligence (EI) solution includes three types of intelligent cloud services and a heterogeneous computing platform including basic platform services like machine learning, deep learning, and graph analysis platforms, alongside AI training, reasoning, and indexing platforms.
“The best cloud must be able to deliver the services that customers need, and AI needs to create more value for enterprises. To make this happen, we have to integrate single-point techniques and apply them, together, in sophisticated enterprise scenarios,” Zheng Yelai said. “We’re positioning Huawei Cloud as an enabler of the intelligent world. It provides AI, IoT, computing, and storage capabilities that provide enterprises with more innovative, intelligent cloud services. Through Huawei Cloud, we are essentially exposing our most formative achievements and practices in R&D – which we’ve built up over many years – to governments, enterprises, partners, and developers.”
By using enterprise intelligence, Huawei has optimized its supply chain processes end-to-end and achieved smooth data flows, from supply forecasting to logistics, and from warehousing to customs clearance, transit, and signing goods receipts. This has enabled intelligent logistics. For example, Huawei applies EI to intelligent packing and offers the best packing solutions depending on the characteristics of goods. In addition, EI enables a 3D view of each container, improving the efficiency of overall container usage by 6%.
At the customs clearance stage, Huawei uses EI for compliance analysis. Huawei’s EI technology is able to identify abnormal data based on historical data and exchange rate changes, and issue warnings in the event of any anomalies. As for warehousing, EI adds intelligence to the process. For example, EI helps to design the best solutions to place and categorize goods and optimize paths of choosing goods and their storage spaces. This has led to a 10% improvement in Huawei’s warehousing efficiency.
