Huawei, Infosys and Wapwag jointly announce new offerings based on Open Edge Computing IoT

At HUAWEI CONNECT 2017, Huawei, together with Infosys and Wapwag Solutions, has released a series of important innovative practices including smart robots/ machine tools and smart water affairs based on open edge computing IoT, accelerating the implementation of industry applications.

Mike Liu, Vice-President of Infosys and Country Head in Infosys Greater China, said, "Infosys and Huawei have jointly innovated the intelligent industrial robot or machine tool interconnection solution. The solution implements predictive maintenance, helping manufacturers greatly improve maintenance efficiency. The downtime of industrial robots or machine tools is reduced by over 70% and the defect rate is reduced by 40%. The solution can help schedule production based on device resource usage and it can also optimize production lines, significantly improving the production efficiency.”

In addition, the innovative smart water affairs solution jointly launched by Huawei and Wapwag, based on edge computing IoT, adapts to many different scenarios such as where old and new water supply devices coexist, when devices from multiple plants are deployed, and where there are many types of interfaces and protocols. The solution meets the demands of intelligent data processing at the edge in different water management scenarios and realizes intelligent connections of water supply devices.

Feng Yang, Vice General Manager of Wapwag (Shanghai) Smart Water Public Co., Ltd, said, "The innovative smart water affair solution jointly launched by Huawei and Wapwag based on edge computing IoT provides a comprehensive solution, covering water supply planning, design, construction, operation, and O&M. The solution monitors equipment and water quality in real time and anticipates device faults. It also helps water affair enterprises and business management departments ensure the safety and quality of supplied water and reduce O&M costs."

Swift Liu, President of Huawei Network Solutions R&D Department and ECC Vice-Chairman, said, "The Huawei edge computing IoT solution is extremely open. It supports various industrial protocols and interfaces and is widely applied to various industry connectivity scenarios. In addition, it leverages its open edge computing capabilities and cloud management architecture to rapidly meet intelligent data processing requirements in different industries. This helps industries quickly innovate, improves production efficiency and quality, reduces O&M costs, and improves public services."

Currently, Huawei edge computing IoT is in wide use in fields such as elevator connection networks, smart manufacturing, smart water affairs, power IoT, cities, and lighting IoT. Huawei has also recently joined hands with 116 partners in the industry to initiate the Edge Computing Consortium (ECC), promoting rapid innovation and accelerating digital transformation through open architecture.
