The fourth “Bloom Cup” 5G Application Competition
Smart grid: Huawei, the Shandong Branch of State Grid Corporation of China, a Chinese carrier, and industry partners collaborated on a project that aimed to scale up 5G application in smart grids to support efforts toward lowering carbon emissions. This project focused on the imperative of transforming power facilities, and leveraged 5G technologies to support new electric power systems. The whole project covered one network, one chip, 12 scenarios of power grids, and 300,000 5G terminals. It drove coordinated development across the industry, helped create multiple 5G standards and international standards for the electric power industry, and established an Internet of Energy that would underpin the transformation of energy mix.
Smart manufacturing: Huawei, Midea, a Chinese carrier, and industry partners joined forces on a project that innovatively leveraged MEC-based 5G integrated positioning technology to support smart warehousing at Midea’s dishwasher factory. In response to the manufacturing sector’s demand for digital and intelligent logistics, this project provided 5G positioning capabilities to enable precise and dynamic logistics operations. This project also addressed eight high-value, end-to-end logistics scenarios, helping Midea foster innovative applications and standardized products. This project is a prime example of how Huawei and its partners work together to fuel digital transformation in the manufacturing sector.
Smart mining: Huawei, Zhunneng Group, a Chinese carrier, and industry partners teamed up on a project aimed at using 5G to support smart mines of Zhunneng Group. This project became the world’s largest 5G network for an open-pit coal mine, and the 5G network supports the use of autonomous mine trucks. The project also featured a digital 5G solution for smart mining, which is instrumental to local efforts at afforestation and improving the soil fertility of farmland.
Huawei alongside partners won multiple awards of the competition
