Meta Description: Huawei is guiding businesses through AI implementation with its new “ACT” pathway, addressing key challenges in value realization, data leverage, adn scalability.
The question is no longer if enterprises should adopt artificial intelligence, but how, according to Huawei’s Senior Vice President and President of Enterprise Sales, leo Chen. speaking at HUAWEI CONNECT 2025 in Shanghai, Chen emphasized that AI is poised to considerably boost industrial efficiency, but acknowledged three major hurdles facing businesses: ensuring AI investments deliver tangible business value, leveraging proprietary data for a competitive edge, and scaling AI applications beyond initial pilot programs.
To address these challenges,Huawei introduced its latest approach to industrial intelligence: the three-step “ACT” pathway – Assess,Calibrate,Transform. This framework is designed to guide organizations through a comprehensive smart change, helping them pinpoint high-value AI scenarios, refine models with industry-specific data, and implement scalable AI agents to transform operations. Alongside the pathway, Huawei launched nine new solutions for industrial intelligence, developed in collaboration with its extensive partner network.
“Real knowledge comes from practice,” Chen stated, highlighting two accomplished AI implementations.The first, a defect recognition system deployed at a leading automotive manufacturer, leverages Huawei’s megawatt platform. This system delivers a meaningful increase in per-card throughput compared to traditional solutions and significantly reduced inference latency. Since deployment, MegaWatt has increased defect recognition efficiency by fivefold, improved accuracy to over 90%, and enabled end-to-end automation, from image recognition to report generation.
Transforming Healthcare: AI-Powered Medical Recordkeeping
West China Hospital aimed to streamline its medical recordkeeping process to enhance both clinical outcomes and staff efficiency. The hospital required a solution capable of generating high-quality records quickly and accurately, while adhering to stringent clinical standards.
In partnership with Runda, Huawei developed an AI-powered medical record system based on the Ascend platform. The system integrates open-source models for general tasks with specialized models for clinical language understanding. It automatically recognizes and summarizes doctor-patient conversations, interprets diagnoses, and generates accurate hospital records.
Deployed at West China Hospital, the system operates alongside AI agents for pre-diagnosis and quality control, ensuring both efficiency and accuracy. Doctors can finalize records with a maximum of four edits and submit them to the hospital facts system (HIS) with a single click. The AI-powered system generates medical records in just one second, dramatically improving the speed of diagnosis and treatment.
Five Key findings for Successful Industrial Intelligence
Chen outlined five key findings gleaned from these and other successful AI implementations:
- Selecting the right implementation scenarios is crucial for realizing AI’s value.
- High-quality, industry-specific data is essential for effective AI models.
- The need for large-scale inference is rapidly increasing.
- Human-AI collaboration is emerging as a new organizational model.
- Strong governance and risk management are vital for secure, enduring AI.
huawei is actively supporting enterprises through the ACT pathway, assisting them in identifying high-value AI scenarios.The company’s comprehensive toolchain and robust security systems facilitate the creation of industry-specific models. Its Versatile platform accelerates agent deployment and workflow automation, while ongoing investments in AI-oriented ICT infrastructure – including high-speed networks and advanced storage solutions – support the entire AI lifecycle.
Moreover, Huawei is fostering a thriving partner ecosystem, currently encompassing over 6,300 Kunpeng partners and 2,700 Ascend partners. The nine new solutions launched at the Shanghai event address critical needs in areas such as city management, intelligent computing, healthcare, banking, manufacturing, logistics, energy, and steel production, driving the next wave of industrial intelligence.
Chen concluded with a forward-looking outlook: “our collective response to the changes brought by AI will determine whether it can truly deliver its “last mile” value and transform technology breakthroughs into real-world benefits.”
