Digital intelligence winds rise, activating the AI gene in the Shenyang old industrial base.

At six in the morning, the morning market on Weigong Street in Tiexi District, Shenyang began to bustle with activity, with the aroma of tofu pudding and fried cakes wafting through the air. Engineer Master Wang hurriedly finished his breakfast and rushed to the Shenyang Artificial Intelligence Computing Center (hereinafter referred to as "Smart Computing Center"), three kilometers away, to debug the newly expanded AI Computing Power equipment.

In May of this year, Phase III of the intelligent computing center with a 150P Computing Power officially went live, becoming the largest domestically produced and controllable intelligent computing center in Northeast China, with a total Computing Power of 450P, injecting strong momentum into the development of new productivity in Liaoning. Shenyang, the city that once produced the first lathe in new China, is accelerating the reconstruction of its DNA with a computing power of trillions of calculations per second.

The precise efforts of policies are behind this reform. The "Shenyang Artificial Intelligence Industry Innovation Development Action Plan (2025-2027)" proposes to build Shenyang into a national highland for artificial intelligence innovation and application, providing strong support for Shenyang to construct a national advanced manufacturing base, a modern service industry center in Northeast China, and a regional technology innovation highland.

Recently, a reporter from the Securities Daily visited Shenyang, exploring various front-line scenarios such as mines, smart grids, digital hospitals, low-altitude flight fields, and Computing Power centers, to investigate how this old industrial city breaks the ice of industrial transformation, overcomes the bottleneck of technological integration, and injects AI genes into the "muscle and bones" of traditional industries through collective strength and market drive.

Cracking the Transformation Dilemma

Shenyang, an important base that carries the industrial memory of our country, is undergoing a profound transformation that integrates industrial genes and digital intelligence under the wave of artificial intelligence. The deep industrial foundation provides strong manufacturing capabilities and rich application scenarios for Shenyang's digital transformation. However, during the visit, the reporter found that many industries also face challenges such as equipment upgrades, technology integration, and talent cultivation during the upgrading process.

A corporate executive who wished to remain anonymous admitted: "In the early stages of the factory's transformation, the biggest challenge was not technology, but how to change the mindset of employees with decades of traditional industrial experience to accept and master digital tools."

In the process of AI upgrading, traditional enterprises generally need to overcome three major difficulties: outdated factory equipment models, inconsistent data formats, and challenges in training AI models; there is a scarcity of compound talents who understand industrial scenarios and are proficient in AI; small and medium-sized enterprises have limited Computing Power procurement budgets and are hesitant to take risks.

In the face of these challenges, Shenyang is actively seeking a breakthrough. All parties in the industrial chain have jointly explored new solutions: leading with policies and empowering through platforms such as intelligent computing centers, combining targeted training of composite talents, demonstration-driven initiatives, and ecological construction to develop a three-tiered integration model. The bottom layer is the inclusive Computing Power of the computing centers; the middle layer consists of industry solutions provided by enterprises; and the top layer is the establishment of industry-academia-research alliances to share data resources.

The intelligent computing center plays a key role in this process, supporting the ecological development of multiple industrial clusters and promoting the transformation of traditional industries such as mining, healthcare, and power grids, as well as the rise of emerging industries such as artificial intelligence.

"We have collaborated with over 200 ecological partners to provide inclusive Computing Power support for research institutions, incubating more than 300 Ascend solutions, forming an integrated ecosystem of 'industry, academia, research, and application.'" Guan Linyang, the ecological expansion manager of the Intelligent Computing Center, told the Securities Daily reporter.

The COO of the Intelligent Computing Center, Yin Zhengqian, revealed that the expansion of the Intelligent Computing Center will focus on supporting the integration and innovation of industries such as "Robot +". Currently, the quantum encrypted communication private network has begun to cover key industrial chains.

With the support of this model, Shenyang has revitalized traditional industries and infused them with new vitality and vigor by implementing the "Digital Craftsman" training program and building a collaborative innovation platform for industry, academia, and research, allowing characteristic industries to achieve "Shenyang Speed" on the new track.

Traditional industries are rejuvenating.

Revitalizing traditional industries is an important path for the transformation of the Shenyang industrial base.

"The combination of 'Time-honored Brands + AI' significantly reduces transformation costs and improves production efficiency. Shenyang has embarked on a unique transformation path of 'Old Industry + New Computing Power,'" said Tian Luji, Director of the Frontier Technology and Basic Research Department of the Liaoning Provincial Science and Technology Department.

Academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and President of Northeastern University, Feng Xiaoting, stated: "The transformation of the old industrial base is not about starting from scratch, but about using AI as a 'scalpel' to precisely activate dormant industrial data."

In the dust-free workshop of the Intelligent Manufacturing Industrial Park in the Shenyang-Fushun Demonstration Zone, a blue pipeline installation robot is operating precisely—its bionic mechanical arm gently rotates, completing a pipeline connection in just 3 seconds that previously required the collaboration of two workers for 10 minutes.

"These 'eyes' can see things that humans cannot." Wang Lei, chief scientist of China Coal Technology & Engineering Group Corp. (hereinafter referred to as "China Coal Technology Group"), project leader of the national key R&D program, and chairman of the "Robot + Mining" industry collaborative promotion consortium, pointed to the brain-like spatial perception system mounted on the robot while speaking to reporters from Securities Daily.

Just three years ago, workers were required to carry 10 pounds of pipe fittings and sweat like rain in the powdery laneways. Today,这款由中国Coal Science and Industry Jiji (全资subsidiary中Coal Science and Industry 机器人 Technology Co., Ltd.) (hereinafter 简称"中Coal Science and Industry") independent research 发的载华为升腾AI chip的"智能矿工"不仅能自主识别管路型号,还能通过鲲鹏算力实时优化安装路径。 中Coal Science and Industry Research 发的 Alleyway repair 复机器人还可以通过自主路径规划解决巷道冲击地压问题,喷浆机器人则可以运用巷道三维建模扫描与精准识别技术实现高粉尘作业人员替代。

"这些机器人不是简单的替代人力,而是通过基于昇腾算力构建的边云协同智能体系,结合大模型数据库,实现矿山运维系统的智能化升级。 Wang Leijie.

In the Gong period, the high gluten of the coal shaft has always been a wander. In addition, China Coal Science and Industry vigorously researched the technical skills of the people, and the workers of the coal industry gradually turned to the position of the 9 big 类的机器人产品矩阵。 通过昇腾AI算力,结合多种传感器,实现井下全天候安全监测和作业,推动矿山机器人技术正式迈向fusion embemb身智能智能的2.0新阶段。 The "humanization of the well" of the intelligent city is no longer a sci-fi scene, but another new business card made by the wisdom in the world.

In the Shenyang-Fushun Demonstration Zone's intelligent manufacturing industrial park, previously scattered key technologies are now linked together. Reporters saw on the production line that Huawei Ascend provides the "brain" for the robots, iFlytek's voiceprint diagnostic system acts as the "ears," and Hikvision's explosion-proof cameras form the "eyes." As of now, the park has gathered over 47 supporting enterprises, forming a 15-minute supply chain from core sensors to complete machine integration.

"The collaborative promotion of the 'robotics + mining' industry is driving rapid development, allowing the intelligent transformation of China's mining industry to shift from single-point breakthroughs to systematic competition." Wang Lei, a director of the Chinese Association for Artificial Intelligence, told the Securities Daily.

Similar to the intelligent transformation in mines, the medical imaging field is also experiencing "second-level breakthroughs."

In the exhibition hall of Neusoft Corporation (hereinafter referred to as "Neusoft"), Neusoft's CT equipment is being demonstrated. This CT has a rotation speed of 0.235 seconds, compressing the time for a full body examination to 60 seconds, greatly improving diagnostic and treatment efficiency.

Neusoft has deeply laid out multiple fields such as healthcare, intelligent connected vehicles, and smart cities, promoting the informatization, digitalization, and intelligent transformation of the industry. Nowadays, in the healthcare field, the "Tianyi" medical empowerment system is applied in dozens of hospitals; in the intelligent connected vehicles field, Neusoft's automotive products and services cover over 1,800 models.

On Neusoft's display wall, there are also old photos from the company's founding in 1991. "Starting from Northeastern University, Neusoft has continued to reconstruct traditional industries with software technology. This is also the continuation and upgrade of Shenyang's industrial genes," said Xu Xiaofei, director of Neusoft's digital infrastructure capability center.

The power grid scheduling is also undergoing an intelligent leap. At the Tieling National Grid Dispatch Center, the load curve on the large screen shows regular fluctuations. The AI system of Liaoning Yuanneng Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Yuanneng Technology") has completed a new round of model iteration, increasing the power grid operation conversion rate by 28%. Yuanneng Technology and the Intelligent Computing Center have successfully promoted the continuous application of "AI + Power Grid" based on the DeepSeek large model.

"It's like installing a nervous system on the old power grid." Tian Lu, general manager of Yueneng Technology, explained while pointing at the real-time rendered 3D power grid model. Today, this solution has become a standard configuration for the State Grid.

Emerging industries "spread their wings and soar"

Accelerating the emergence of new industries is also key to the upgrade of intelligent manufacturing in Shenyang.

The efficiency revolution driven by algorithms is not only occurring in ground power grid systems, but is also extending towards the azure sky, promoting the "takeoff" of emerging industries such as the low-altitude economy.

In Shen 阳浑南区,辽宁锐湘GM 飞机Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (hereinafter 简称"锐湘通飞")的电动飞机正在进行第103架次 logistics试飞, its route is connected to Shen 阳 low-altitude 经济示区的Intelligent air traffic control platform. 这家从沈阳走出的创新企业,用十年时间攻克了电动飞机及其零部件的关键技术难题,填补国内通航领域电动飞机产业空白。

"We are collaborating with leading enterprises and universities to tackle key technologies such as low-altitude data collection, intelligent flight algorithms, and smart air traffic control, enabling centimeter-level precision in drone swarm control and accelerating the implementation of new tracks and scenarios for air travel," said Zhang Yu, General Manager of Ruixiang Tongfei.

锐湘通飞的转型之路,镌刻着新兴产业腾飞的轨迹。 通过与华为、智computing 中心、沈阳Aerospace 大学、deep cooperation,这家企業业将人工智慧智能智能技术融入低空无人机应用的多个环节。

Entering the Ruixiang Tongfei digital workshop, engineers are monitoring the entire assembly process of the electric aircraft through smart terminals.

"Ten years ago, we were still struggling with traditional manufacturing processes. Today, by building a digital intelligent manufacturing system, we have achieved full-process intelligent control from design to production, and we share experimental facilities and data resources with our partners to jointly cultivate composite talents." Zhang Yu said that this deep integration model of industry, academia, and research is transforming Shenyang into a highland for the "Artificial Intelligence + Aerospace" industry.

The aviation industry is a strategic high ground in the competition of world technology and high-end equipment manufacturing. In recent years, Shenyang has accelerated its "run" on the aviation industry track and proposed a new goal to create a 100 billion yuan aviation industry cluster.

Tian Luja stated that the "scenario-driven + Computing Power-supported" model is an important pivot for multiple industries in Shenyang to overtake and is also the core engine for cultivating emerging industrial clusters.

另据《沈阳市培育发展未来产业行动计划(2024-2025年)》等相关规划,沈阳aiming 准人形机器人、先进储能储热、基因与细胞治疗、artificial intelligence and other 12个重点领域,超前布局未来产业。 Shen Yan City Industry and Information Technology Bureau Deputy Bureau 长 Dong Yue said in March this year that Shen 阳增设了人工智慧智能产业群集,目前已,

Centered in Shenyang, Liaoning's industrial transformation and cluster development are advancing rapidly. According to information from the Liaoning Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology, Liaoning is accelerating the construction of 4 trillion-level industrial bases and 22 key industrial clusters. A relevant person in charge from the Shenyang Development and Reform Commission stated: "We are creating a new transformation model of 'scenario openness + Computing Power support + ecological aggregation', and Shenyang is redefining the connotation of old industrial bases with AI."

Chen Ming, associate researcher at the Institute of Political Science of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, stated: "One of the important significances of the landing of new productive forces is to empower traditional industries through digital technology, thereby stimulating new vitality. The practice in Shenyang demonstrates that old industrial bases can fully realize the emergence of 'new branches' while retaining the essence of the industry through digital transformation."

Standing on a high building in Hunnan District, the factories are still the same factories, but the "production" inside has changed significantly, from "steel belts" to "smart belts", from manufacturing to "intelligent manufacturing". This "digital rebirth" of Shenyang's old industrial base provides a reference for the transformation and upgrading of traditional industrial cities in China.
