Integrated Solutions Provider For Industrial Intelligence
CITIC Holdings is a digital transformation business platform of CITIC Group dedicated to serving national and industrial needs. CITIC Holdings aims to deeply integrate artificial intelligence, big data and intelligent equipment technologies with industrial use cases to innovate, serve and enable industries to achieve high-end, intelligent, and green transformation.
In 2023, CITIC Holdings continued to make significant contributions to the transformation and upgrade of the special steel industry. Following the establishment of the world’s first Factory Lighthouse in the global aluminium wheel industry in collaboration with CITIC Dicastal, CITIC Holdings supported Xingcheng Special Steel, a subsidiary of CITIC Pacific Special Steel, in successfully being selected as part of the 11th batch of Global Lighthouse Network. Xingcheng Special Steel thus became the world’s first Factory Lighthouse in the special steel industry, leading the industry towards transformation and upgrade. As a result of this accomplishment, CITIC Limited has emerged as a central enterprise with two Lighthouses operating under its umbrella.
CITIC Holdings has successfully developed its first set of intelligent industrial equipment, which helped address several industry-level challenges. Filling a gap in the domestic automotive manufacturing market, the “Complex Surface Defect Detection Robot” solves the challenge of flexible inspection for the steering knuckle’s exterior, achieving precise inspection and ultimate flexibility. The “AI Intelligent X-ray Inspection Special Machine” excels in the areas of accuracy and cost-effectiveness, attaining industry-leading standards while achieving utmost safety and enhanced efficiency. With its key performance indicators surpassing those of similar foreign products, the machine has now entered the phase of industrialisation.
Leveraging its two major advantages in data and algorithms, CITIC Holdings has independently developed a comprehensive and panoramic precision carbon management platform. This platform enables industrial-level lifecycle management of “product carbon”, while facilitating data collection, organisation, calculation, analysis, and disclosure management of corporate emissions of “organisational carbon”. The independently developed “Dual Carbon Digital Management System” has been certified by the China Classification Society.
CITIC Holdings actively explores an enterprise-led, collaborative innovation consortium between industries, universities and research institutes. In June 2023, the CITIC-Pengcheng Joint Laboratory was unveiled through collaborative efforts with national strategic, scientific and technological entities. Centring on CITIC Holding’s common, cutting-edge and key core technologies, the two parties jointly pursued technological breakthroughs, combining core technology with computing resources to co-develop an industrial multimodal foundational model.
CITIC Holdings possesses industry-leading core technologies in the field of industrial artificial intelligence. By the end of 2023, it has obtained a total of 168 national invention patents, with over 50% of them related to AI technologies and over 10% related to large-scale modeling technologies. Its subsidiary, CRFUNION Digital Technology Co., Ltd in Shenzhen, received accolades throughout the year, including being recognised as a “National High-tech Enterprise”, and awarded the title of “Specialised New Enterprise Striving for Excellence” in Shenzhen. Its industrial intelligent application benchmark cases were selected for the research report “China Digital Factory Leader Practices” released by the IDC, a world-renowned market research organisation. Its Carbon Neutrality Key Technologies and Industrialisation for the Automotive Industry project received the “First Prize of Computer Application Product Technology“ awarded by the China Computer Federation, and its Industrial Chain Carbon Management Platform for Key Industries was honored with the Excellence Award at the 5th China Industrial Internet Competition (Leading Group). The Tianshu (AstraOS) Industrial Internet Platform was shortlisted as one of the “Top 50 Featured Professional Industrial Internet Platforms in 2023”.
