On September 20, Midea Group officially signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Huawei. The two parties will leverage their respective strengths in the technology industry and information and communication sectors to deepen collaboration across key areas such as enterprise management, AIGC, ICT infrastructure, green and low-carbon initiatives, cloud services, product R&D, and international expansion, jointly building the SparkLink and OpenHarmony ecosystems.
In the field of AIGC, the collaboration will focus on a dual core of “technology empowerment + scenario implementation.” A dedicated task force will be established to research cutting-edge AI applications in smart homes, smart manufacturing, and other areas, with an emphasis on overcoming technical challenges such as multimodal AI algorithm optimization, edge intelligence computing, and AI security and privacy protection. This effort aims to drive innovation and lead the transformation in the AI era.
In the smart factory domain, leveraging Midea’s self-developed visual large model algorithm platform and Huawei’s Ascend AI visual inspection technology, the partnership will enhance production efficiency and product quality stability. Additionally, Huawei will collaborate with Midea’s Meicloud Intelligence to advance industrial software such as CAPP and MOM, along with AI computing services, empowering customers in their digital transformation.
