Core Viewpoint - The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) technology is driving the transformation of the building materials industry towards a more intelligent, greener, and high-end direction [1][4]. Group 1: AI Integration and Digital Transformation - Through digital transformation, building material companies can achieve digitalization in R&D design, integrated production operations, and agile customer service, enhancing decision-making efficiency and overall competitiveness [1][3]. - The "Xiao Miao" industrial model developed by the Smart Building Materials Research Institute has shown significant application results in the cement industry, enabling real-time closed-loop control of production and end-to-end optimization of business decisions [2][3]. Group 2: Cost Reduction and Efficiency Improvement - The "Xiao Miao" model has reduced the cost of cement batching by over 1%, demonstrating its effectiveness in lowering costs and increasing efficiency [3]. - The model has established a replicable and lightweight standardized implementation plan, with data governance cycles reduced to under 14 days and model deployment times under 7 days, achieving an average return on investment period of about one year [3]. Group 3: Industry Transformation and Future Applications - AI-driven changes in the building materials industry manifest in three areas: profound changes in human-machine interaction at the factory level, regional central control and collaborative operations at the regional company level, and optimization of operational models and decision-making at the corporate group level [4]. - The industrial model currently includes over 200 scenario models, covering the entire supply chain from procurement to production and sales in the cement industry [4]. Future applications will focus on intelligent product design, digital twin factories, and dynamic pricing among others, aiming for comprehensive coverage of business operations [4].
