Huawei Accelerates Digital Transformation Throughout Malaysia's Automotive Value Chain

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, Aug. 28, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Malaysia's accelerated efforts to integrate advanced digital technologies such as cloud computing and intelligent connected vehicles into the electric vehicle (EV) and smart manufacturing sectors took centre-stage at the Huawei Malaysia Automotive Industrial Executive Symposium, hosted by Huawei Technologies (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd (Huawei Malaysia) recently.

In his welcome speech, Mr Andy Wei, Vice President of Huawei Cloud in Malaysia lauded the Malaysian Government's policies which he said have been a major driver of the automotive industry in Malaysia, adding that they welcome the Government's intention of installing 10,000 EV public charging points by next year, 2025.

"To meet these goals, there are several challenges we have to collectively face. The most important is a lack of infrastructure to support Malaysia's advancement in new energy vehicles, such as the wide availability of charging stations. We also need to integrate cloud computing and IoT technologies and facilitate stronger collaboration within the automotive supply chain," he added.

Mr Andy Wei said that as a leading global provider of information and communications technology, Huawei Malaysia will continue to leverage its extensive global portfolios and local experience to meet the new needs and challenges of Malaysia's automotive sector.

"Huawei Malaysia is confident of making significant contributions to connectivity and digitalisation of the industry, with its mature technologies and solutions, and experience gained through partnerships with major local automotive players," he said.

Huawei Malaysia addressed the infrastructure needed for smart manufacturing and showcased its advanced smart automotive industry solutions in two detailed sessions titled 'Smart Connection on the Cloud: One Step Faster with Huawei Cloud' which was presented by Mr Shen Xianbo, General Manager of Smart Automotive Industry Solution, Huawei Cloud; and 'HMS for Car: Global Automation Intelligent Solution' by Mr Wubin, Vice President of Cloud Service Outbound Business and Solution, Huawei Consumer. Both sessions demonstrated how cloud services can drive innovation across the automotive industry.

In addition to speakers from Huawei, the symposium featured prominent speakers who covered diverse topics related to critical areas across the automotive value chain. The Federation of Motor & Credit Companies Association of Malaysia (FMCCAM) offered key insights into the resilience and prospects of the Malaysian automotive industry during its session, 'Market Insight of Automotive Industry Malaysia' while Geely Auto's presentation, 'Automotive High-Tech Valley (AHTV) near Kuala Lumpur,' underscored Malaysia's pivotal role in the global automotive supply chain.

ACO Tech, a Malaysian company specialising in Connected Cars applications and solutions, shared its vision for the future of mobility through intelligent connected vehicle solutions in its session 'Driving the Future of Mobility'. Similarly, Yonyou Malaysia, a leading Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Software and Cloud Service Provider in Asia, focused on enhancing operational efficiency across critical automotive operations with its presentation, 'Global Digital Solution for Automotive Industry'.

Meanwhile, Credence, Telekom Malaysia's cloud and digital services company, underscored the crucial role of digital empowerment, starting from robust infrastructure development to turning data into actionable insights, in its session titled 'Empower Your Digital Capabilities, From Infrastructure to Insights'.

The symposium also served as a platform to facilitate dialogue between Malaysian and Chinese automakers, aimed at addressing industry challenges, enabling collaboration, and fostering consensus within the industry, in support of the growth of Malaysia's automotive sector.

Malaysia's ambitious goals under the Low Carbon Mobility Blueprint (LCMB) and the National Energy Transition Roadmap (NETR) aim for EVs to represent 15% of the industry volume by 2030 and 80% by 2050. With Huawei Malaysia actively collaborating with local enterprises, the company remains steadfast in providing the essential digital backbone that supports the entire EV ecosystem value chain, from manufacturing to logistics and infrastructure, enabling Malaysia to achieve these targets while remaining competitive globally.

Huawei Accelerates Digital Transformation Throughout Malaysia's Automotive Value Chain

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia, Sept. 14, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Leading-edge artificial intelligence algorithms are now powering production at nearly half of VSPO's esports tournaments, dramatically reducing content creation time and enhancing fan engagement, said the company's co-founder Danny Tang at the New Global Sport Conference 2024 ("NGSC") in Riyadh this August.

At a panel discussion with other industry leaders including Ahmad Alabduljabbar, Craig Levine, Jean Mariotte, Penny Diao and Shay Segev, Tang said nearly half of the esports tournaments VSPO produces are now leveraging AI to assist key production tasks such as live highlights capturing and post-game replay editing, markedly boosting the efficiency and agility of the company's tournament operations.

VSPO, Asia's biggest esports company, organizes and produces more than 80 tournaments and 7,000 matches every year, captivating an online fan base of over 800 million.

"Over the past couple years, we have developed a lot of AI tools to allow us to better produce esports tournament content in a much more efficient manner," said Tang, who is also VSPO's CFO and head of global strategy office, "For example, our 'AICam' now allows us to turn hours of game footage into viral social media content in mere seconds."

As the leading conference for the Esports World Cup Foundation, the NGSC 2024 hosted a global delegation of over 1,200 industry thought-leaders at the Kingdom Centre on August 24-25.

At the event, Tang introduced VSPO's two proprietary AI tools, "AIOB" and "AICam", which have been instrumental in streamlining esports production process. AIOB, an algorithm trained on extensive tournament data, assists directors in identifying and broadcasting the most thrilling moments in real time. AICam, on the other hand, automates the selection and editing of highlights, turning them into viral video clips with unprecedented speed and precision.

Another VSPO's key AI project Tang shared was VSPO's partnership with Qualcomm on the Snapdragon "Faith of Victory" initiative, an esports athlete emotion detection system capable of providing real-time insights into an athlete's state of emotions by studying their facial expressions and heart rates. The AI system has been trained with data from 175 professional players across 18 top teams in the King Pro League, and VSPO continues to refine it for improved performance on a frequent basis.

Furthermore, Tang said that VSPO is also in the process of integrating its proprietary AI technologies into its signature, award-winning "4K OB Truck," a patented mobile production unit designed for on-the-go creation and broadcasting of top-tier esports events.

This innovative vehicle was a standout feature at the Hangzhou Asian Games last year, where esports was recognized as a medal sport for the first time, as a significant portion of the esports series was produced using VSPO's "4K OB Truck," showcasing its capabilities on an international stage.

With a global presence encompassing 14 office locations and eight top-tier esports arenas, VSPO offers a comprehensive suite of esports services, including tournament organization, marketing solutions, community development, and more.
