Huawei Unveils a Comprehensive 'ACT' Plan for Industry

On September 22, 2025, during the HUAWEI CONNECT 2025 conference held in Shanghai, Leo Chen, the Senior Vice President and President of Enterprise Sales at Huawei, unveiled a revolutionary three-phase plan named 'ACT' aimed at accelerating the intelligent transformation of businesses. This event set the stage for discussing Huawei's groundbreaking insights and advancements in the realm of industrial intelligence, culminating in the introduction of nine pivotal solutions jointly developed with partners.

The Evolution of Industrial Intelligence

As artificial intelligence (AI) technology rapidly evolves, businesses face critical challenges. Chen pointed out three pressing questions that companies strive to answer:
1. How can businesses ensure their investments in AI yield tangible commercial value?
2. How can organizations leverage their data to defend competitive advantages?
3. How can AI use cases extend beyond pilot projects into widespread implementation?

In response, Huawei shared successful case studies highlighting how they are tackling these challenges.

Successful Case Studies

The first example included a dynamic architecture developed for the banking sector, enabling companies to integrate systematic capabilities into their operational workflows. Huawei's architecture helped banks accelerate AI applications across various scenarios, such as transactions and risk management, resulting in improved revenue and efficiency while managing risks more effectively.

Another feature showcased was the collaboration with China Southern Power Grid, where Huawei's Ascend computing platform and MindSpore AI framework enabled the development of a large model known as 'MegaWatt'. This innovation significantly enhanced inspection efficiency, achieving a fivefold improvement in identifying faults during smart inspections of electrical lines.

In a separate project, Runda Medical utilized Huawei's Ascend inference servers to create an AI-driven medical record solution. This advancement drastically reduced record creation time to about one second, improving hospital examination efficiency notably at the West China Hospital.

Insights for Intelligent Transformation

Chen outlined five key insights gleaned from these projects:
1. Selecting the right scenarios for deployment is crucial for successful transformation.
2. The capabilities of industry-specific models rely on high-quality vertical data.
3. Demand for extensive inferencing will continue to grow alongside AI agents.
4. Collaboration between humans and AI is emerging as a new organizational paradigm.
5. Systematic risk management is increasingly vital, leading organizations to seek more effective oversight.

The ACT Journey to Industrial Intelligence

Huawei's 'ACT' plan encompasses three critical phases: Assess, Calibrate, and Transform. This structured approach promotes AI adoption across various sectors.

• - Assess: Identify high-value scenarios through Huawei's AI scenario evaluation framework, guiding organizations to recognize over 1,000 key production scenarios suited for AI implementation.
• - Calibrate: Equip businesses with tools and AI security systems to fine-tune general models and create industry-specific ones, transforming raw data into actionable insights.
• - Transform: Utilize Huawei's comprehensive platform to automatically generate scalable AI agents and workflows, streamlining deployment processes and ensuring effective AI integration.

For firms aspiring to embark on the ACT journey, a focus on AI-oriented ICT infrastructure is essential, covering the entirety of data preparation, model training, inference, and development. Chen emphasized Huawei's commitment to continuous innovation in data storage, computing, and network solutions to facilitate this process.
