英特尔和阿里云联合推出的端到云物联网平台率先在工业制造领域落地并取得了良好的进展，为工业领域部署该平台树立了典范。重庆瑞方渝美压铸有限公司（以下简称渝美）是首家部署端到云物联网平台的企业。作为一家国际领先的铝合金压铸企业，产品良率是关系到企业发展和良好运营的重要生命线，渝美原先人工检测成品的方式不能满足公司的数字化转型需求。为了提升良率和企业的自动化水平，渝美在生产线上首次部署了该端到云物联网平台，以机器视觉+人工智能的视觉检测方案以及边缘计算取代传统人员目检，将成品的检测提前到第一步模具的检测，通过部署在边缘计算的网关，实时进行数据收集、整合和检测，并通过云端数据的训练不断优化边缘侧算法以提升检测准确率。在部署该端到云物联网平台后，渝美生产线的产品检测能力得到显著提升，从原先低于20%的人工检测成功率提升到99.6%的自动检测成功率，为渝美更好地参与国际竞争奠定了技术基础。
Chongqing Refine-Yumei Die Casting Co., Ltd., also referred to as Yumei, is the first enterprise to deploy the Intel and Alibaba Joint Edge Computing Platform. As a world-leading aluminum alloy die-casting specialist, Yumei considers product yield as the lifeline of its development and foundation of excellence of operations.
·       However, Yumei found its existing process for manual defect detection of products to be outdated. So in its effort to push ahead with business digital transformation and to increase yield and production automation, Yumei deployed the Joint Edge Computing Platform on its production line. 
·       The new solution, based on Intel’s computer vision and deep learning capabilities, integrates the defect detection with the machine, allowing identification of defects as parts are cast instead of waiting until the end of the manufacturing line.  The real-time data processing and machine integration was made possible by Intel Core processors with integrated graphics on industrial grade gateways and industrial PCs.  Vision algorithm optimization to improve detection accuracy was accomplished through training on Xeon processors on an edge server and in the Alibaba Cloud.
·       After deploying the Joint Edge Computing Platform, Yumei’s defect detection capability increased from its less than 20 percent success rate with manual inspections, to greater than 99.6 percent success rate across all major defect classes in the factory, well-positioning the company to compete internationally.
