 Industrial Augmented Intelligence – Anmasheng Empowers the Path to Industrial Smart Transformation

 

The following is the main text:

Currently, China's traditional competitive advantages in industry are steadily eroding, and the conventional model of industrial expansion—previously driven by low costs and sheer production capacity—is coming to an end. Under this evolving trend, Chinese industrial enterprises are leveraging the deep integration of next-generation information technology with industrial production scenarios. By harnessing intelligent industrial technologies to upgrade and optimize their equipment, production lines, and entire factories, these companies are unlocking a critical pathway to enhance both operational efficiency and economic profitability.
 

        Sun Fengcheng, Co-President of Anmai Sheng, feels deeply moved by this. Sun Fengcheng earned his Ph.D. in the field of aeroengine control from Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics in 2007. After graduation, he worked at two renowned Fortune 500 companies—United Technologies Corporation in the U.S. and General Electric (GE)—and has since been deeply involved in multidisciplinary, cross-disciplinary work such as modeling, data analysis, and control system design across various domains.

 

Driven by a passion to explore the practical applications of industrial big data in China, Sun Fengcheng joined AIMS. As a company dedicated to the research, development, and implementation of intelligent industrial solutions, AIMS was at the time just over one year old—a fledgling startup with only 40 employees. When asked why he chose to leave a high-paying job to join AIMS, Sun Fengcheng shared: "Joining AIMS was a carefully considered decision. First, I’m optimistic about the company’s industry focus and the vast potential for market growth in China. Second, I was deeply drawn to the founding team’s vision for the company, as well as its strong academic culture."

 

Sun Fengcheng has witnessed AIMS growth and expansion along the way, as well as the powerful rise of China's industrial sector in the field of intelligent manufacturing. How can we help industrial enterprises become smarter? AIMS has its own unique concept: IAI—Industrial Augmented Intelligence. “Compared to other companies mentioning the application of ‘Artificial Intelligence AI’ in industry, we believe that most current industrial scenarios still fall short of qualifying as ‘artificial intelligence.’ Therefore, We position ourselves as an augmentative intelligence solution, with a technological hallmark that seamlessly integrates industrial principles, data-driven intelligence, and expert knowledge—ultimately solidifying them into application-oriented products. “Sun Fengcheng stated.

 

It is reported that, AIMS product technology is centered around intelligent algorithms, built upon a big data platform for its architecture, and delivered through hardware devices, enabling a range of industrial-grade intelligent solutions. In industries such as nuclear power, lithium batteries, transportation, and tobacco, AIMS starts by addressing real-world industrial challenges. All of its products are developed based on customers' actual needs, rather than being created in isolation through mere speculation. Leveraging its technological strengths to address industry pain points, AIMS has established unique competitive advantages and technical barriers, enabling customers to achieve reliable equipment, enhanced production capacity, consistent quality, and data-driven decision-making. "Speaking of the field of industrial intelligence, AIMS has forged a relatively unique path that is remarkably resilient and full of vitality," Sun Fengcheng said confidently.

 

Since its establishment six years ago, AIMS product technology has been widely applied in critical national sectors, generating significant economic benefits for industry leaders such as CATL, China National Nuclear Corporation, State Power Investment Corporation, State Grid Corporation of China, China National Tobacco Corporation, and CRRC Corporation Limited.

 

High-speed development inevitably brings new challenges. For AIMS, one of the biggest challenges right now is team building. Amidst the currently tough job market conditions, AIMS is bucking the trend by opening up a large number of recruitment positions. "Our company's business is growing rapidly, yet we're facing a severe shortage of talent." We welcome talented individuals of all kinds to join AIMS and embark together on a new journey of intelligent manufacturing in industry. “Sun Fengcheng said.”

 

Advanced industrial intelligence technologies can indeed bring tremendous value to traditional industries—but only if the technology is grounded in reality and deeply integrated with industry-specific needs. We believe AIMS will surely establish itself in the vertical industry, meet customer needs, and forge a distinctive path of pragmatic innovation.
