Sponsored by the Chinese Association of Automation, organized by the Intelligent Manufacturing Pr₹omote Cooperation Innovation Alliance, the China Instrument Manufacturer Association, the Industr​ial Control Systems Information Security Industry Alliance, the Edge Computing Consortium≠, the National Technical Committee on Safety of Machinery and the National TCΩ124 on Industrial Process Measurement, Control and Automation of SAC, and co-organized by t₩he Automation Panorama on kongzhi.net, the China Automation Industry Annual Conference (CAIAC) 2021 & the 16th China ©Automation Industry Event (CAIE) was officially unveiled on April 15, 2021 in Bei♦jing.

After sixteen years of accumulation from 2006 to 2021, CAIAC has developed into a top-notch event i§n the industry. On the evening of the event, more than 200 industry ex perts, corporate executives and user representatives from v‍arious fields gathered together. Gui Weihua, Vice President of China Association of Automation< and Academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, Wu Hongxin, Distinguishγed Consultant of the Chinese Association of Automation and A₹cademician of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Yu Haibin, Vice President of China ✔Association of Automation and Director of Shenyang Institute of Automation,‌ Chinese Academy of Sciences, and others attended the event.

To unswervingly build a manufacturing power, quality≥ power, network power and digital China, promote industrial foundation upgrade and ®industrial chain modernization and improve China’s economic quality and efficiency an d core competitiveness are the historical missions bestowe₩d to all Chinese automation practitioners as well as the new opportunities a'nd challenges faced by China’s automation industry in the new£ era. General-purpose technologies centered on digital technologies are accelerating a n★ew round of technological revolution and industrial transformation on a global scal"e. Only continuous innovation, continuous technological enhancement, industr✘ial integration and co-construction of a new digital ecosystem can truly promotδe China’s manufacturing industry to transform from &l↕dquo;manufacturing” to “intelligent manufacturing”,δ thus to create a new future for China’s intelligent science, technology and industrial dπevelopment.

HITE’s second-generation H&i Server redundant server and system management softw×are has long been favored by the market for its safety, reliability, advanceme↕nt, wide application both at home and abroad, and word-of-<mouth among users. The product won the “Most Trusted Products in China’s Automation Iγndustry 2020” award. 

The second-generation H&i Server redundant server and system management software is a faul‌t-tolerant computer system for real-time critical industria<l applications that can provide zero-second interruption recovery from faults. Its compreδhensive technical features (zero-second switchover, load balancing, virtualization, centra↔lized monitoring, etc.) have reached the domestic-leading le♥vel, with novelty and good market application values. Currently,β the product has obtained Invention Patent 201410632804.3 “A Computer ¥Fault-Tolerance Method and System Authorization”. 

Being equipped with functions such as computing and storage hyper-converged architec•ture, virtualized multi-application load balancing, and automatic faul£t recovery, the product falls with the scope of database ★system disaster and fault recovery technologies and belongs <to the category of “database security technology”. Researches haveγ been carried out regarding dynamic migration technology, failure prediction t'echnology, virtualization technology, rapid deployment and simple maintenan↔ce technology, remote disaster recovery scheme, processor lγoad balancing technology, and integration technology with the cloud management platform. The produ☆ct’s P2V (physical to virtual) migration technology, disaster r↑ecovery (DR) technology at long-distance optical fiber synchronous transmission₽, and fault warning and automatic recovery technology are comparable to similar produc₩ts of the United States, while its main performance indicators such as zero-second switchover, l∑oad balancing, virtualization and centralized monitori↕ng have reached the domestic-leading level. 

The second-generation product is equipped with fault tolerance and can be used to buil‍d virtualization and industrial private clouds. The lau♣nch of the server and the improvement and application of MES in the industry have comprehensively e&nhanced the Company’s service capabilities with regard to overall solutions∏ of automation control and network informatization, thereby laying the technicaγl foundation for the Company to provide and optimize overall solutions for digital ‍factory and intelligent manufacturing. As the “Made in China 2025” i‌nitiative and industrial upgrading progress in China, there ↔will be more and more data collection, computing and storage dema♦nds at the edge ends of manufacturing enterprises.  The reliability of key equipment in the data center construction aλnd data processing of enterprises will become an increasαingly prominent requirement. HITE’s H&i S‍erver redundant server and IndusCloud solutions can help users build dat&a centers with high availability and reliability, fault tolerance, and ∏horizontal performance scalability, so they have good application prospects.

Application scenarios

At present, H&i Server redundant server series‌ and system management software have been marketed and applied in China’s municipal transpor∞tation, power, metallurgy, mining, petrochemical, process manufacturing and other i•ndustries. The product enjoys a high market share in do₹mestic expressway toll monitoring systems, rail transit monitoring ↓and charging systems, and airport information integration systems. Typical end applications includ$e the toll collection and monitoring systems of Shanghai Municipal Tunnel, Jiangsu Expres±sway, Zhejiang Expressway, Shanxi Expressway, Inner Mongol​ia Expressway, Guangxi Expressway, Sichuan Expressway, Hunan Ex©pressway, Guangdong Expressway and Heilongjiang Expressway, the tunnel electromech←anical monitoring system in the expansion project of♠ Shaanxi Huangling-Yang’an Highway (JD-5 section), ₩the tunnel electromechanical monitoring system of Guizhou Kaili-Leishan Expressway, the communicβations system of Nanjing Metro Line 1, the tunnel monitoring system of Wuji H→ighway, the intelligent traffic monitoring system of Shang&hai Donghai Bridge, and other engineering cases.
