AWE2019, see the development trend of consumer electronics in China

With regard to the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT) on future life, there is a concise and appropriate sentence: 'Pervasive but invisible', the future is the invisible but ubiquitous intelligent life.


In line with the trend of the times, the organizer of the Appliance & Electronics World Expo (AWE) has released the theme of the 2019 exhibition at the AWE 2019 key exhibitor exchange meeting - AI on the smart life. AWE 2019 will bring together more innovative products and solutions, more cross-border elements and big-name enterprises. With the theme of “AI and Smart Life”, it will further explain the concept of “Global Platform for Smart Life” and show its intelligence to the fullest. The blueprint for a better life under the empowerment of IOT.

The Science and Technology Park, a technology-themed exhibition area hosted by AWE, one of the world's three largest consumer electronics exhibitions, will continue to be staged at the Shanghai New International Expo Center from March 14-17, 2019. After two years of precipitation, the Science Park has developed into an innovative platform for the all-round carnival and global technology product launches that showcase the life of intelligent things. The 2019 Science Park will lead a future of technology and modern life with richer content, more cross-border combinations and more colorful displays.

The popularity of the Science Park is booming in 2019. The area continues to be upgraded.

In 2018, AWE reaffirmed and consolidated its top global appliances with a record number of nearly 130,000 square meters of exhibition space, 292,600 visitors, more than 800 exhibitors, hundreds of press conferences, and tens of thousands of new product launches. With the status of the Consumer Electronics Show, and through the most cutting-edge, the most abundant innovations, the world has brought the highest level of exhibition.

As a special exhibition area and focus of AWE, Science Park has always been a gathering place for cutting-edge technology and innovative products. The content has covered many future life fields such as artificial intelligence, internet of things, smart travel, sports health, and smart home. Based on the characteristics of the strong experience, the Science Park is popular every year. Even on the last day of the annual exhibition, the Science Park is still crowded with people, and there are many viewers bringing their experiences and interactions with their products.

The popularity of science parks is supported by the support of AIOT innovation technology, and the emergence of innovative technology is the continuous expansion of the exhibitor lineup. The Technology Park in 2019 continues the strong lineup of exhibitors and attracts many heavyweight technology companies. The leading enterprises and brands represented by Tencent, Qihoo 360, Sogou, IFLYTEK, Philips, Haikang Fluorite, etc., are artificial intelligence enterprises represented by Q&A, Yunzhisheng, Sibichi, etc. IoT platform represented by Yunzhiyi, graffiti intelligence, Broad Link, etc., smart home enterprises represented by Advantage Technology, Sonos, Duya, Controls, Fengtang, Aite, etc., as well as smart wearable, AIOT solutions and other fields The company will bring new technology applications and product experiences to the 2019 Technology Park.

Among them,IFLYTEK and Sonos are the first to enter AWE Technology Park.

Although IFLYTEK has never been an independent company, the products containing the IFLYTEK gene have been continuously presented at AWE. During AWE2019, HKUST will showcase the MORFEI smart home one-stop solution and  iFLYOS software and hardware integrated intelligent hardware solutions to showcase the “zero touch, all-natural voice interaction” smart home experience to industry and audience. The most advanced AI empowers technical capabilities.

Sonos, who joined AWE for the first time, is the leading family of home smart audio systems in the United States. With immersive sound effects, minimalist beauty and a high degree of integration of music content for different music services, it is popular in more than 60 countries around the world.

In addition, Qihoo 360, one of China's largest Internet security companies, also returned to AWE and merged into the Science Park. The 360, which has always been shown as an Internet security image, has been in the IoT field for a long time. At the end of October, a 'hard core new horizon' conference was held, and 360 smart doorbells, 360 secure routes, 360 sweeping robots, 360 children's watches, etc. were released. Six products.

In addition, in 2018, Yunzhisheng launched the first AI chip for the Internet of Things - UniOne. Go out and ask questions to release the AI voice chip module 'Qingxin' and smart speakers, smart watches and other products, the advantages of technology to complete the A round of financing and release a series of smart locks, smart water purifiers, smart toilets and other new products. AWE2019, more exhibitors will bring more intelligent hardware matrix and smart living solutions to the technology park.

Based on the continuous expansion of the exhibitor lineup and the continuous emergence of AIOT technology applications and product innovation, the area of the Science and Technology Park in 2019 will be expanded to 7,000 square meters. While continuing the display of strong experiences and the rich content of pan-tech, the Science Park will also highlight products that significantly change the way people live through innovative features and superior performance.

Artificial intelligence rises to national strategy AI chip summit helps industry to land

Following the issuance of the “New Generation Artificial Intelligence Development Plan” by the State Council in 2017 and the “Three-Year Action Plan for Promoting the Development of a New Generation of Artificial Intelligence Industry” issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, artificial intelligence has once again been highly valued by the party and the government.

On October 31, the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee held the ninth collective study on the status and trends of artificial intelligence development. Xi Jinping, general secretary of the CPC Central Committee, emphasized that artificial intelligence is an important driving force for a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation. Accelerating the development of a new generation of artificial intelligence is related to whether China can seize a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation opportunities. Strategic issues.

At the industrial level, artificial intelligence innovation enterprises are constantly emerging, the application of artificial intelligence technology and products is everywhere, the scale of industrial investment and development is expanding, and the demand for AI chips is also rapidly increasing. Market research firmly predicts that by 2023, the global AI chip market will reach $10.8 billion, with a compound annual growth rate of 53.6%. In China, the AI chip carries the expectation of overtaking in the corner of the integrated circuit industry, and has been promoted and supported by the government from the top down.

However, with the continuous development of the domestic AIOT industry and changes in the external environment, some problems have also emerged. For example, the innovation and development of China's integrated circuit technology still lags behind that of developed countries. New and old chip companies are fighting against artificial intelligence chips. The “PPT core” has occurred from time to time. The AIOT technology and products have yet to be further extended. Form a good experience and so on.

Facing a series of industry status, smart industry media and innovative service platform will combine AWE and Peach, and hold GTIC 2019 Global AI Chip Innovation Summit on March 15th, 2019 at Jumeirah Himalaya Hotel, Shanghai (below) Referred to as 'GTIC 2019 AI Chip Summit').

This summit will be the first industry summit to focus on the innovation and application of AI chip architecture in 2019. It is also the second AI chip summit hosted by Zhishou after the successful launch of China's first AI chip summit in 2018.

GTIC 2019 AI Chip Summit will design four major themes under the theme of “A new pattern of AI core eco-industry”, and invite famous scholars and algorithms from academia, artificial intelligence, Internet of Things, semiconductor, mobile phone, security and home industries. Everyone, technology bulls, entrepreneurs, corporate executives and investors gave wonderful presentations and discussions. The conference will last for one day and it is expected that more than 1,000 people will be present at the event.
