Huawei Shapes Industry Cloud with Leading New ICT, Driving Business Reinvention
[Shanghai, China, August 31, 2016] At HUAWEI CONNECT 2016, Huawei announced a series of new solutions with Accenture, along with the results of its newly conducted research with Forrester on digital transformation across industries.
Creating new opportunities by integrating new ICT into industries
In his keynote speech at HUAWEI CONNECT, Yan Lida, president of Huawei Enterprise BG, said: "The emergence of maturing digital technologies and increasing economies of scale is disrupting many industries around the world. Companies that embrace this disruption and adopt new ICT to drive digital transformation have the opportunity to gain a decisive competitive edge. Industry cloud is a business-driven digital transformation and is beyond the simple combination of cloud and industry; it is the integration of technologies into businesses. Digitized enterprises of the future will be about the production, transmission and analysis of data. It follows that they will require an ICT infrastructure that integrates cloud-pipe-device, and an open, flexible, agile and safe platform to forge close partnerships to develop rich applications and create an innovative, win-win ecosystem, which will drive the digital transformation of enterprises.”

IoT collaboration builds smarter and safer elevators
Data analytics firm Lux Research reported that by 2020, the global Industrial IoT (IIoT) will be worth an estimated US$151 billion. The IIoT includes factory machinery and industrial products, with one typical example being the Internet of Elevators & Escalators (IoEE). At HUAWEI CONNECT 2016, Huawei announced that it would initiate collaboration with a leading global elevator manufacturer, to develop an Elevators Connection Solution that is open, flexible, and scalable. The solution can support the unified connection and management of the elevator supplier’s millions of elevators around the world. IoT technology transmits operational data from the elevators in real time to enable elevator data simulation, achieving preventive maintenance through cloud-based big data analytics. Elevator safety will be significantly enhanced, while the operational cost of the elevators can be greatly reduced.
Mr. Swift Liu, President of Huawei Enterprise Network Product Line, is launching the Huawei Elevators Connection Solution.
In today’s digital world, Huawei is working closely with partners to develop innovative ICT solutions, and helping global customers drive digital transformation and lead the trend.
