 01

Autonomous Mass Production of AES at L3 Accuracy

A 100 Digital Twin City Plan Officially Launched

Since the release of WDP4.0, a new-generation digital twin PaaS platform, in Sep. 2021, 51WORLD has kept a three-monthly iteration rate, dedicated to offering a digital twin creation platform that is of "low threshold, high quality” to every industry. Up to now, over 25,000 developers have worked with 51WORLD to upgrade the new digital twin PaaS platform.

As underlying support for the PaaS platform, AES has been upgraded with breakthroughs and is now officially in mass production in the L3 era.

At the conference, Yi Li officially announced the "100 Digital Twin City Plan" and pointed out that 51WORLD will upgrade the digital twin base of 100 cities to L3 accuracy as of the end of December this year, starting from August 2022.

"This major upgrade of AES will enable more effectiveness, less required storage space and higher speed," Yi Li stressed at the conference.

Among them, as for more effectiveness, Autonomous generation of AES will be greatly beyond the effect of L2, modular generation at L3 is comparable to the accuracy of manual modeling; as for less required storage space, only one-third of the storage space is required compared to that of at L2 in tradition; and as for higher speed, modular generation at L3 just takes 1/2 time that of at L2, which is a significant increase in efficiency.

In addition to AES, a simultaneous upgrade is realized for DaaS digital asset library, Editor non-linear editing, API, and Cloud native based on the WDP platform.

Upgrade of MS2

Official Launch of 255,000 m2 Metaverse

In the Web3.0 era, every enterprise should be equipped with an exclusive metaverse space, just as necessary as an official website in the Web1.0 era and an APP in the Web2.0 era. The 51WORLD metaverse application provides companies with consumers, goods, and scenarios in the metaverse era.

The 51WORLD metaverse applications are characterized by three highlights: immersive and realistic scenarios, unique digital avatar, and open and convenient creator tools.

The newly upgraded MS2, with an extra-large space of 255,000 m2, is a metaverse application designed for large-scale activities such as conferences, expos, etc. The entire venue is in the shape of a five-petal flower, of which each petal is an independent exhibition hall of 51,000 m2.

Besides Hall A, which was firstly opened for EC5, the rest four halls will be opened one after another from September to December. 

Unlike 2D video conference that brings a uniform communication feeling, the metaverse enables interaction that shows individuality and a sense of expectation because of the unpredictability of what will happen next.

51Sim

Accelerated Closed-loop Driven by Data for Autonomous Driving

51Sim is the domestic auto industry simulation software developed by 51WORLD with a R&D investment of over 100 million RMB over 5 years. Up till now, 51Sim has formed a sound product ecology, with the implementation of closed-loop cloud simulation that is driven by data, which is independent and controllable, and high confidence perception simulation that is deeply integrated with software and hardware, and full-stack simulation that is integrated with software and hardware through open source.

Right now, Autonomous driving is on the eve of mass production. 51Sim has formed a full industry ecology targeting the market demand and built a series of benchmark cases, such as HAOMO.AI (a data-driven cloud simulation), Horizon Robotics (a computing platform for perceptual simulation), a multi-vehicle platform for SMVIC, etc. 51Sim will also keep in line with the market to accelerate the implementation of China's Autonomous driving mass production through deep industry integration, domestic open-source controllability, and a data-driven closed loop.

Three Industrial Applications

Enable the Full Entry of Digital Twin into L4+W4 Stage

Accuracy Level and Application Dimension are two keywords in describing the industry application of digital twin, where digital twin scene is divided by five levels from L1 to L5, and there are five application stages from W1 to W5. Yi Li said in his speech, "Currently, the industrial application has evolved to L4+W4 stage. Oriented to a new trend, we will present the debut of benchmark cases of three industrial applications."

01 51ISE, a new-generation industry simulation algorithm platform

W4, a new stage of deepening evolution of the digital twin, is in dire need of support from a cross-industry simulation platform. 51ISE comes into being as the times require, which integrates industry algorithm simulation, engineering system simulation, natural environment simulation, social activity simulation, and emergency simulation in one and has been applied in fields such as industry, energy, water conservancy, rail, transportation, etc. Numerous cases have been implemented so far.

Take smart factory as an example, 51ISE can restore every robot arm, every part and every craftsmanship exactly like those in the real world. Such an advanced approach for manufacturing can be used to build a digital twin factory efficiently and cost-effectively, and applied in the full lifecycle of simulation for factory design in its early stage, factory construction in its middle stage, and factory operation in its later stage.

As part of the construction of a smart factory of CREG (China Railway Engineering Equipment Group), 51WORLD enables auxiliary decision-making in terms of production process optimization, quality control, O&M of equipment and management of energy and carbon peak & neutrality, with the ISE platform as the base and the digital twin technology as the core, thereby contributing to the digitization of the factory.

02 TOC, an operation service platform for twin spaces

Distinct from traditional IOC products, the TOC platform features six core capabilities: realistic digital twin scene, Spatial-temporal computing, open editing, full process simulation, presence services, and multi-terminal interaction.

Sanya Yazhou Bay Science and Technology City (YZBSTC) in Hainan Province, which is the first to integrate the capabilities of the 51WORLD TOC platform, is empowered with a digital twin for park management, comprehensively reflecting trends of all aspects and speeding up digital construction.

Moreover, a second upgrade is realized for TOC Low Carbon Smart Community, which provides managers with more smart decision support based on green energy construction and investment by region-wide carbon monitoring, carbon planning simulation and carbon emission prediction.

03 51CIM, a new generation information model platform for digital twin cities

"As a city seeks growth, infrastructure is required at first. Likewise, the infrastructure for the digital economy is required for its development. Undoubtedly, city-level L4 is precisely one of the infrastructures for the digital city of the future," Yi Li believes.

51CIM creates an infrastructure base in terms of data use path, scene use path, scene accuracy, interaction depth, etc., for further advancing the construction of smart cities.

It is characterized by multi-source data fusion, multi-precision scenario operation, high-performance computing, efficient & open maintenance, and re-use of data elements, which can meet requirements for system construction, such as wide projects range, long time period, high data security, outcome data reusability, etc.
