China is a globally recognized chemical powerhouse. However, the daily management methods of most chemical parks are relatively rough. The access control, video, parking, and other subsystems of each park and factory area are like independent "islands." Each "island" requires a significant amount of manpower and time costs for inspection, recording, and reporting, and cannot achieve comprehensive and continuous intelligent security protection. Therefore, issues such as high safety risks, crude management models, and weak emergency response capabilities in chemical parks urgently need to be addressed.

At this stage, it is a crucial period for the digital transformation and high-quality development of chemical parks. Comprehensively promoting the intelligent upgrading of chemical parks, deepening the integration of industrialization and informatization, and thereby significantly enhancing the emergency management capabilities and intelligent management level of chemical parks has become a key goal for the development of the chemical industry. The "14th Five-Year Plan Guide for Chemical Parks and the Outlook for Long-term Development to 2035" lists intelligent construction as one of the "five key projects" and emphasizes: "By 2035, all chemical parks in China will be transformed into intelligent chemical parks..."

Inmac Technology & Ascend AI, creating a "trinity" intelligent chemical solution

Focusing on the three major scenario needs of the chemical industry, namely "production safety supervision, comprehensive park management, and personnel safety protection," Inmac Technology, based on Ascend AI, utilizes information technologies such as edge computing, AI vision, and big data to create an intelligent chemical solution integrating "computing power + algorithms + platform." This solution constructs a "smart brain" in chemical parks, helping chemical parks enhance their capabilities in risk perception and assessment, monitoring and real-time warning, and response and disposal, providing strong digital and intelligent support for the management of chemical parks.

This solution uses Inmac Technology's EA500I intelligent workstation as the computing power base, equipped with Ascend's high-efficiency AI processor, achieving a computing power of 20TOPS@INT8. It supports H.264/H.265 hardware decoding for 40 channels of 1080P@30FPS and 4 channels of 4K@75FPS. The intelligent workstation's core adopts the Da Vinci architecture, possessing high-density computing capabilities for processing complex scenarios, resulting in higher computing efficiency. Based on Ascend's cloud-edge collaboration functionality, it supports unified device management and firmware upgrades in the cloud, significantly reducing the operation and maintenance costs of chemical parks.

In addition, by combining high-precision intelligent algorithms, it can perform real-time identification, analysis, and transmission of production safety and park protection data in chemical parks, providing accurate and efficient data support for park management. This achieves intelligent and refined management improvements, helping the chemical industry achieve digital transformation quickly and cost-effectively.

Currently, this solution has been implemented in an industrial park in Maoming, Guangdong Province, a hazardous chemical park in Puyang, Henan Province, a chemical park in Jiujiang, Jiangxi Province, and other locations. It has achieved a transition from traditional manual management to data-driven "intelligent autonomy," reducing management time by an average of 50%, effectively improving the safety management level of chemical enterprises, and reducing the daily management and operating costs of the park.

Conclusion

Inmac Technology is an important APN partner of Ascend, and the two parties are committed to providing AI scenario-based solutions with integrated hardware and software and comprehensive technical support for various industries. In the future, Inmac Technology will continue to deepen its cooperation with Ascend, enabling industries to achieve digital transformation efficiently and cost-effectively.
