On July 21, GECON East Intelligence carried out a specialized training and exchange event on energy and carbon management and AI applications for Chery Group. Focusing on topics such as industrial AI, comprehensive solutions for zero-carbon parks/factories, and HVAC energy conservation, in-depth discussions were held with Xue Shengzhi, Director of the Equipment and Power Department of Chery Group, and energy management leaders from various manufacturing bases both domestically and internationally. The event attracted nearly 200 energy and carbon business personnel from Chery Group, both online and offline, to jointly explore the integrated path for green, low-carbon transformation and intelligent upgrading of automobile manufacturing enterprises.

With the rapid development of the new energy vehicle industry and the continuous advancement of the 'dual carbon' goals, automobile manufacturing enterprises are accelerating towards a new stage of green and intelligent development. However, faced with complex demands such as multi-site collaborative management, energy efficiency improvement, and refined carbon emission control, traditional energy management models relying on manual experience can no longer support the lean operation of enterprises. How to utilize industrial data and artificial intelligence technologies to achieve autonomous perception, intelligent analysis, and optimized decision-making of energy systems has become an important topic for the green upgrading of automobile enterprises.

Focusing on the demand for green and intelligent transformation in advanced manufacturing industries, GECON East Intelligence shared its technological accumulations and practical experiences in the fields of industrial AI, intelligent manufacturing, and energy and carbon management, introducing comprehensive solutions for zero-carbon parks and smart factory construction. By integrating industrial data, energy data, and business knowledge, a digital system covering energy monitoring, energy efficiency analysis, energy conservation optimization, and carbon management is constructed to help enterprises transition from 'statistical analysis' to 'predictive optimization' in energy management, achieving closed-loop management from problem identification to decision support and continuous optimization.

Among them, the HVAC system, as a significant energy-consuming component in manufacturing factories, became a key topic of discussion. The HVAC system has long faced issues such as insufficient equipment coordination, reliance on manual experience for operational strategies, and difficulty in continuously optimizing system efficiency. The HVAC AI intelligent control system shared by GECON East Intelligence at the event dynamically analyzes the operating status of chillers, water pumps, cooling towers, and terminal equipment by integrating mechanism models and AI algorithms, enabling intelligent monitoring, automatic optimization, and collaborative control of the HVAC system, and driving the factory service system from 'manual adjustment' to 'AI-driven optimization'. Relevant practices have shown that optimizing control through AI algorithms can effectively improve the operating efficiency of cooling stations and achieve energy conservation and consumption reduction.

During the on-site exchange session, both parties engaged in in-depth discussions on the expansion of AI applications in the automobile manufacturing industry, the path for zero-carbon factory construction, and the deepening application of energy and carbon management. Representatives from Chery Group stated that the training content was systematic and comprehensive, providing new ideas for the application of industrial AI technology in automobile manufacturing scenarios. Energy leaders from different manufacturing bases actively exchanged ideas based on actual business needs, further deepening the consensus between both parties on the coordinated development of green and intelligent manufacturing.

It is reported that Chery Group has set goals to achieve operational carbon neutrality by 2037 and value chain carbon neutrality by 2047. Focusing on this long-term strategic goal, both parties will continue to explore cooperation opportunities in the deep integration of zero-carbon factory construction and AI applications in manufacturing. Currently, both parties are engaging in in-depth discussions on in-depth energy and carbon scenarios in factories, particularly in the direction of HVAC AI intelligent control, jointly exploring new models for enhancing energy efficiency through artificial intelligence.

As an industrial AI leader strategically incubated by TCL, GECON East Intelligence will continue to leverage its advantages in the integration of industrial AI, industrial applications, and energy and carbon technologies, promoting the deep integration of artificial intelligence technologies into manufacturing sites, moving from single-point energy conservation optimization to system-level intelligent decision-making, and supporting the automobile industry and more manufacturing sectors in achieving coordinated development of green, low-carbon, and intelligent operations.
