Through the construction of smart government affairs system, Xiamen City moved e-government self-service kiosks into convenience stores, communities, subway stations... and realized 113 businesses in 12 departments including residence permit, social security, provident fund, etc. 24 hours a day, living in Xiamen The residents of, the happiness index has greatly improved.
Through the construction of the smart education system, more than 80,000 teachers and students in more than 160 primary and secondary schools in Wenchang, Hainan, including more than 100 schools in rural areas, can now accept the same teaching quality as first-tier cities, and inequality of educational resources has gradually become a thing of the past.
Through the construction of a smart medical system, the problems of difficult registration and trouble queuing at the First People's Hospital of Yunnan Province have been completely solved. Nowadays, seeing a doctor not only saves time and effort, but also connects to remote experts for consultations. Seeing a doctor is no longer so difficult.
Three different scenarios in three different regions reflect the benefits that smart city construction can bring to people's lives. The value of smart city construction is becoming more and more intuitive around us. Because of this, the construction of smart cities is in full swing in our country.
Up to now, more than 700 cities in my country are building new smart cities, which is veritably the world's largest implementing country of smart cities. Behind this, a number of leading ICT companies, including Lenovo, Huawei, Inspur, Alibaba, and Xinhua San, have provided continuous assistance for the construction of smart cities.
Building a smart city, each has its own characteristics, this article focuses on analyzing some of Lenovo's thinking on smart city construction.
New stage, new mission
Smart city is no longer a new concept. It was put forward more than 10 years ago, but its connotation has never stopped extending. The smart cities of 10 years ago are not the same as today. I will talk about smart cities today. I believe everyone will no longer limit them to a certain field in government affairs, medical care, education, public security, transportation... What changes can be brought about by technology on the one hand.
Talking about smart cities today must emphasize the user experience, and the government and ICT manufacturers will be able to provide what kind of services they can provide to citizens and residents.
To quote Ling Hong, a professor at the School of Management of Fudan University, a PhD supervisor, and director of the Smart City Research Center, “Smart cities cannot be driven by technology alone, and technology cannot solve all problems. Smart cities cannot be technology for technology, and systems for systems. In essence, they provide Serve, serve demand, serve urban development."
In this regard, Lenovo agrees. At the Smart City sub-forum of Lenovo's 2020 Innovation and Technology Conference, Dai Wei, vice president of Lenovo Group and general manager of China Service Division, said: Smart city construction has shifted from emphasizing technology to emphasizing data, and the next step must be to emphasize service.
This is what Lenovo said, and it did the same. The three cases mentioned at the beginning are all smart city projects jointly built by Lenovo and other places. It can be seen that user experience is first and service is first. It is particularly worth mentioning that the "Lenovo Wenchang Smart Education Solution" also won the IDC Asia Pacific Smart City Award (SCAPA) Educational Best Smart City Project. It is important to know that there are only three projects in mainland China that have won the award during the same period.
There are many such cases, such as Hebei Xianghe Smart City Project, Beijing Yanqing Smart City Project, Shanghai Jiading Xueliang Project, Sichuan Gulin Safe Campus Project...
And just a few days ago, Lenovo Smart City delivered another good news. First, it partnered with Guangzhou to create a complete city-level public transportation safety and intelligent service system for Guangzhou, and ensure the safe operation of 11,896 buses. 18 million person-times provided smart services; and then cooperated with Shijiazhuang to help Shijiazhuang become a "digital new city".
It is not difficult to see from the above that the construction of smart cities is entering a new stage, which is called a new type of smart city in the industry. Lenovo has won the recognition of customers with a new perspective and practice. At the same time, the new era also gave Lenovo a new mission, that is, how to put emphasis on service more solidly.
Lenovo's Tao and Shu
Since the future of smart cities places more emphasis on service, it must abandon the thinking of focusing on technology and construction, and instead switch to a model of focusing on integration and operation. This is also Lenovo's strategic positioning in the new era, namely " Tao"-a new type of smart city operation service provider.
What about surgery? Around the new smart city operator service provider, Lenovo has created and constructed various technologies, solutions, and ecological capabilities. Among them, in addition to providing a complete set of intelligent solutions, Lenovo also actively explores and handles the real needs of the people.
In Dai Wei’s words, a good smart city must be derived from its city managers and residents living in the city, as well as the connection point between them. A smart city cannot only be regarded as an infrastructure project, but a This kind of paradigm change, a kind of lifestyle change, the core of this change is at the grassroots level.
Here is an introduction to the Lenovo City Smart Cube. Simply understand, it is a smart city operation management platform that encapsulates the technical capabilities of artificial intelligence, blockchain, cloud computing, big data, etc., can schedule service resources, empower the ecology, and make smart city operations simple.
There are two key words worth paying attention to, encapsulation and operation. Encapsulation means shielding the complexity of the underlying technology, while operation emphasizes service, which is exactly the same as Lenovo’s thinking "smart + service" in the construction of new smart cities. The unity of knowledge and action.
Lenovo City Smart Cube
Learn more about the Wisdom Cube, divided into three layers, the first layer of the underlying technical facilities, Lenovo has a technical architecture covering "end-side-cloud-network-intelligence", and A+B+C+D+E+I +5G +S , A (AI), B (Block chain blockchain), C (Could Computing cloud computing), D (Big Data), E (Edge Computing), I (IoT), 5G, and S (Services) Services) In-depth integration of smart services.
The second layer is the middle layer, which is responsible for connecting the previous and the next, using various AI technologies to support and empower urban services, operations and cloud management platforms.
The third layer, the ecological application layer, is based on city services, operations, and cloud management platforms. Through close cooperation with ecological partners, the goal of building a new smart city with superior governance, benefits to the people and industrial development is finally achieved.
With equal emphasis on technology + ecology, Lenovo has built a complete smart city construction service system. And this set of systems has been implemented in multiple projects including the aforementioned projects.
Big market, big things
Authoritative organizations predict that in 2020, China's smart city-related technology expenditure will reach 180 billion yuan, and by 2022, China's smart city-related technology expenditure will reach 270 billion yuan.
There is no doubt that smart cities are a promising market, which is the fundamental reason why so many manufacturers are working hard. Lenovo’s advantage lies in its deep accumulation. On the one hand, it has been rooted in the field of urban informatization and digital construction for more than 20 years, and it has a better understanding of the objective laws of industrial development. On the other hand, it has a long technology accumulation time and a wide range of production lines. It can propose more suitable for the public. The products and solutions requested.
Therefore, we can see that Lenovo's breakthrough speed is getting faster and faster, and this is the truth.
This is also reflected in Lenovo’s financial report. In the financial report released by Lenovo just a few days ago, the software and service business revenue increased by 39% year-on-year, reaching a record high of 8.5 billion yuan, while the domestic service business as the core revenue accounted for Nearly a quarter of total income. Among them, Lenovo's smart service is indispensable.
To sum up the full text, each city has a unique "rhythm of life", and people everywhere enjoy their lives. It is these colorful and colorful livelihoods that create a wonderful and complex social appearance in our country. Normally, It is difficult to have a system that can solve all the problems. But Lenovo is setting benchmarks for more and more industries. In the future, I believe that as Lenovo City Smart Cube is deployed in more cities, more people will feel the temperature of intelligence.
