Board Member, President of Enterprise BG, Huawei, Mr. Peng Zhongyang, has called for a paradigm shift to achieve industrial digital transformation.
Zhongyang said this while delivering a keynote address on the theme: “Paradigm Shift for Greater Value” at Huawei Connect 2020 on September 23, 2020.

Zhongyang stated that the shift to a new paradigm of industrial digital transformation is urgently needed for the development of the future intelligent society.
He said: “To drive industrial digitalization and construct the new paradigm, we need to focus on clients’ demands and dreams, realize the new paradigm by scenario-based innovation, and through the synergy across five tech domains to establish a digital ecosystem for mutual benefits with joint creation while creating new value for industries.”
“2020 is an extraordinary year, witnessing explosive growth in technologies together with reforms in different industries.
“The tremendous potential of digital transformation is to be unleashed on the basis of synergy across five tech domains, in which connectivity, cloud computing, AI and applications develop surrounding 5G in ways never seen before.
“By turning coal mines into digital structures for more than 10 scenarios, Huawei has achieved digital twining, making whole mining business digital and smart,” Zhongyang added.
While noting that Huawei had long been adhering to best practices for a better future, he said, in 2018, Huawei’s logistics park in Dongguan underwent transformation that lasted for half a year.
“With the help of automated equipment and intelligent algorithms, delivery efficiency (volume of goods delivered per capita) has increased by 67%, and the delivery cycle has been shortened by over 50%.”
Peng concluded: “There are three decisive factors while digitalizing scenarios.
“The first one is the cutting-edge technology, allowing integration of ICT with core scenarios.
“The second one is industry know-how, where we should seek industrial insights in depth and understand the industrial knowledge.
“Finally, it is all about execution. That is to put all these into practice, turning theories into reality with continuous exploration and innovation.”
New paradigm
According to him, Huawei proposes to build a “digital ecosystem cube” from three dimensions.
The first dimension is to target at the future of digitalization, gain insights of the unsatisfied demands from numerous segmented scenarios in various industries, which is the premise of “the bigger cake”.
The second dimension is to aggregate different capabilities of various partners and fully play to their strengths, which is the basis of “baking a bigger cake”.
The third is to develop multiple approaches for collaboration and business models, and make conscious effort to create and share value together.
“You can’t find a new land with an old map,” Zhongyang said, calling on clients to embrace changes, and craft a new paradigm of industrial digital transformation for a greater future.
At HUAWEI CONNECT 2020, the global leading ICT company also invited clients with great achievements in digital transformation to share their experience.
Chen Jinzu, General Manager of Shenzhen Airport Group, said that Shenzhen Airport is a pioneer in digital transformation, contributing in building a smart civic airport with the wisdom and experience of Shenzhen.
Tang Shaojie, General Manager of Shenzhen Metro Group, said that as the backbone of public transportation, Shenzhen Metro will facilitate station-city integration, high degree of amalgamation of multiple transportation modes across Shenzhen and the region, and joint-construction of the “Greater Bay Area on the track”, with a smart city initiative.
In appreciating global partners for their efforts in driving business growth and shared success over the past years, Huawei has presented them with outstanding partner awards of 2020.
These recognitions include the Excellent Global Channel Partner, Excellent Global Strategic Partner, Excellent Global Distributor, Excellent Global Industry Solution Partner, Excellent Global Talent Ecosystem Partner, and Excellent HUAWEI CLOUD Channel Partner.
