As the 2026 World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC) kicked off,Zhao Dan, Chairman of CASMT, was invited to attend Siemens' core forum "The Re-Evolution of Automation — Industrial AI, from Present to Future," where he shared CASMT's self-developedCASMT AI integrated platformand its achievements in large-scale deployment of embodied intelligent equipment,sharing hands-on experience in the practical application of industrialAI in intelligent manufacturing.CASMT's self-developedCASMT AI is a new-generation CAX full-stack digital intelligent platform tailored for industrial intelligent manufacturing and embodied intelligence scenarios, establishing a brand-new industrial intelligent manufacturing paradigm from CAX digital twin to embodied intelligence brain.Built on the full-process collaborative capabilities ofCAD/CAE/CAM as its foundational cornerstone, the platform uses AI Agents as a bridge connecting the digital and physical worlds, achieving end-to-end closed-loop control from 3D models to physical equipment. It creates an exclusive "digital brain" for embodied intelligent robots, enabling precise perception, simulation-based reasoning, intelligent decision-making, and real-time execution control over physical production lines. At present,CASMT has co-deployedCASMT AI together with Eigen, Siemens' automation engineering intelligent tool, forming a dual-wheel driven system of "CAX full-chain digital hub + automation engineering agent":CASMT AI handles production line process simulation, robot collaborative scheduling, and closed-loop digital twin management, while Eigen takes on repetitive engineering tasks such as standardized program writing, equipment configuration, and simulation verification. The two complement each other deeply, having been validated across multiple physical manufacturing projects, significantly compressing equipment R&D, commissioning, and delivery cycles.As a system integrator deeply engaged in high-end intelligent equipment and embodied intelligence, CASMT has deeply embedded theCASMT AI integrated platform throughout the entire lifecycle of intelligent equipment, forming a uniquely industry-leading end-to-end industrial intelligence deployment solution. Meanwhile, CASMT has deeply embedded the Eigen engineering agent into the full equipment R&D and commissioning process, becoming an official key-promoted local deployment demonstration case for Siemens.The non-standard equipment industry has long faced core pain points: customers iterate their products frequently, equipment programs and workstation logic require repeated modification, and a large number of engineers' efforts are consumed in repetitive configuration, basic coding, and on-site commissioning, extending project delivery cycles and raising trial-and-error costs. In response to this industry bottleneck, CASMT Chairman Zhao Dan shared the company's practical insights at theWAIC forum:The biggest obstacle to moving from non-standard to standard is changes in customer products.IndustrialAI frees engineers from repetitive configuration work, allowing them to focus on customer processes and solutions themselves.In CASMT's projects involving complete sets of new energy equipment, precision machining production lines, and multiple types of embodied robot workstations,CASMT AI connects the entire digital chain of design, simulation, and production,achieving adaptive production line adjustment, multi-robot collaborative planning, and production defect prediction; coupled with automation intelligent tools for standardized program generation, multi-workstation linkage logic configuration, and closed-loop simulation testing. Working in synergy, the two greatly compress equipment development and on-site joint commissioning cycles, while reducing repetitive manual working hours and material waste. This frees R&D teams to unleash creativity and focus on high-value fields such as embodied intelligence architecture and precision assembly processes, creating a virtuous cycle where the digital platform and engineering agent empower each other in synergy and human effort concentrates on core innovation.Leveraging thisWAIC industry exchange platform, CASMT, with the CASMT AI integrated platform at its core, will continue to deepen its ecosystem collaboration with Siemens and jointly expand the full-range deployment scenarios of industrial AI and embodied intelligence:·Technology Synergy:The two parties will form a long-term cooperation model with complementary technologies, opening up thedata links between the CASMT AI digital twin foundation and Siemens' automation technology system, jointly refining integrated end-to-end AI solutions adapted to flexible intelligent equipment and multi-form embodied robot workstations;·Scenario Expansion:Relying on CASMT's diverse physical scenarios covering precision assembly, intelligent inspection, new energy mass production, and humanoid robot collaboration, the two parties will continue to deploy integrated solutions, accumulating hands-onCAX + industrial agent deployment experience dedicated to non-standard equipment and embodied intelligence;·Industry Co-Building:Leveraging an open industrial ecosystem, the two parties will deliver mature digital intelligent solutions across the entire industry chain, empowering manufacturing enterprises to transform and upgrade intelligently.Facing the wave of new industrialization, CASMT will continue to deepen its coverage of all physical manufacturing scenarios, iterating and refining thecore capabilities of the CASMT AI full-stack digital platform, and deepening its presence in the diverse tracks of new energy complete equipment and all-category embodied intelligence; at the same time, it will continue to deepen its ecosystem cooperation with Siemens, integrating the digital and automation technology advantages of both parties to drive the iterative evolution of the automation industry with practical, high-impact self-developed industrial digital intelligent solutions, helping China's intelligent manufacturing move toward a new stage of high-quality development.
