From October 14 to 16, the 2026 AI Industry Conference was held in Jinan, Shandong Province, gathering more than 300 leading domestic and international AI companies and innovation entities for a concentrated showcase of technological achievements and a deep exchange of industry thinking. According to People’s Daily Online, under the theme of accelerating AI empowerment of new-type industrialization, “production line”, “scenario” and “deployment” became high-frequency keywords across exhibition booths and thematic forums.
The shift in buzzwords mirrors the migration of the industry’s center of gravity: where past AI conferences featured parameter contests among models and computing power, what gets discussed repeatedly now is how to use it on this production line and how to land it in this scenario. Moving from single-point model breakthroughs to deep vertical cultivation and clustered deployment, the fusion of AI and manufacturing is transitioning from the demo stage to the engineering stage — selecting computing power, deploying solutions and accepting results by production-line scenario has become the new procurement logic of manufacturing enterprises.
From the perspective of the industry landscape, AI implementation in new-type industrialization shows a two-ended momentum: at one end, cloud-based large models and industrial software platforms take on global optimization; at the other, edge computing power and interaction terminals on the production line carry real-time execution. Whoever can package model compression, edge deployment and industry know-how into replicable production-line solutions will take the initiative in this round of AI sinking to the shop floor.
For Junyi Microelectronics, AI sinking to the production line is precisely our product home ground: the 5G-EDGE-3399Pro and AI-BOX-3588 edge computing hosts provide a solid computing foundation for on-site AI inference, the IPC-i5-1235U industrial mini PC handles workshop-level data aggregation and gateway duties, and touch panel PCs enable zero-barrier interaction between frontline workers and intelligent systems. This complete computing-plus-interaction matrix means hardware is no longer the missing link when AI lands on the production line.
