After three years of research and technological innovation, the all-new AES5 undergoes a significant upgrade in precision, speed, and capabilities: it can generate a high-precision scene of 1 square kilometer in just 10 seconds, smoothly running at high frame rates even for areas covering thousands of square kilometers. With a frame triangle count reaching billions, the accuracy of reproducing elements such as roads, buildings, rivers, lakes, and vegetation has been significantly enhanced.
EC6 Conference
After a two-year hiatus, the Earth Cloning Project Conference returns to offline gatherings, bringing together 2000+ tech professionals, 100+ cutting-edge product technologies, and 80+ specialized topics, once again leading the way in the digital twin industry!
On August 18, 2023, 51WORLD, in collaboration with Suzhou Xinjianyuan Digital Technology Co., Ltd., jointly hosted the 6th Earth Cloning Project Conference (EC6).
As the annual mega-event in the digital twin industry, the conference focused on three main themes: Digital Twin China, Intelligent Driving, and Metaverse AIGC. It featured a keynote speech, six professional forums, 80 specialized topics, showcasing nearly 100 cutting-edge products, technological innovations, and benchmark cases. With over 2000 participants eagerly attending, EC6 has set the new direction for the digital twin industry.
Domestic Data-Driven Closed-loop Ecosystem
As autonomous driving rapidly advances, the key is not just individual feature output but the collaborative coordination across the entire industry chain. 51Sim, in collaboration with partners such as Meixing Technology, Tianzhun Technology, Volcano Engine, Kunyi Electronics, and Zhixie Huitong, jointly initiates a domestic data-driven closed-loop ecosystem, harnessing industry synergy to expedite the mass production and deployment of autonomous driving.
51Sim, along with upstream and downstream partners, is actively constructing a domestic data-driven closed-loop ecosystem. This initiative focuses on two main directions: the development of the full chain of the autonomous driving data-driven closed-loop and the establishment of a mass production verification system. The goal is to accelerate the practical application of autonomous driving.
Presently, the ecosystem has officially launched its first batch of innovative outcomes — the full-chain data-driven closed-loop ecosystem solution. Co-created by 51Sim in collaboration with ecosystem partners such as Volcano Engine, Tianzhun Technology, and Meixing Technology, the solution provides integrated services, including chip development, domain control, data acquisition, data processing, algorithm training, feedback testing, and simulation hardware and software testing. It aims to address common issues in the intelligent driving industry, such as low data utilization and challenges in building a data-driven closed-loop. Since its release, the ecosystem solution has garnered widespread attention in the industry, with multiple leading manufacturers actively seeking collaboration.
Releasing 3 AIGC Applications
Conquering the “good quality, fast speed, low cost” impossible triangle, the launch of three major AIGC applications heralds a new era in digital twin creation! AI is rapidly reshaping industries beyond imagination, ushering in a leap in productivity.
As staunch advocates of technological innovation, 51WORLD recognized the potential of AI technology early on and actively explored its practical applications. At EC6, 51WORLD officially unveiled three AIGC applications! These three products integrate core technologies such as pre-trained large language models, digital modeling, reinforcement learning, and prompting engineering. They assist developers and ordinary users in creating 3D content, developing applications, training autonomous driving, and more, significantly reducing the cost of content creation through natural language interaction.
Information Technology Application Innovation Ecology Alliance
The domestic replacement of digital twins, a crucial leap from 0 to 1, marks another milestone for Chinese companies towards technological independence!
The XinChuang industry in digital twin creation started late, with weak foundational capabilities, posing significant challenges for domestic substitution throughout the industry chain.
In this context, 51WORLD, in collaboration with fifteen entities in the ecosystem, including hardware chips, operating systems, middleware, cloud computing, large models, application platforms, and industry software, jointly initiated the establishment of the Digital Twin XinChuang Ecosystem Alliance. The alliance is committed to providing a comprehensive and mature XinChuang service for enterprises and ecological partners with a demand for domestically produced digital twin applications, accelerating the domestic substitution across the entire digital twin industry chain.
GITEX GLOBAL
GITEX GLOBAL, a two-way journey into the Middle East market, strategic signings, appearing on national TV, showcasing in Digital Dubai… The pace of international expansion is accelerating, and accelerating even more!
