Zhongkong Technology, a leading company in automation for China’s process industry, has recently announced its full integration with the DeepSeek large model, and plans to release an “industrial BA super intelligent system” based on this model by mid-2025.
Powered by DeepSeek: Five breakthroughs transforming industrial applications. Even before DeepSeek became widely popular, back in May 2024, Inovance Technology already used the V2 version of DeepSeek as the core backbone model for its advanced industrial AI products developed for the field of business automation.
Following the massive success of DeepSeek-V3 and R1, central control technologies were quickly integrated to develop new versions of these base large models. The “Industrial BA Super Intelligent System” created based on DeepSeek has achieved five major breakthroughs first among others:
Multimodal Perception Hub: By deeply integrating DeepSeek-V3’s multimodal understanding capabilities, it creates a “digital nervous system” for industrial scenarios.
Industrial-grade BA graph data and graph neural networks: By leveraging DeepSeek-V3’s semantic understanding and entity extraction capabilities, private and domain-specific knowledge graphs can be constructed rapidly.
Intelligent development of industrial apps: By integrating deeply the strong reasoning and code-generation capabilities of DeepSeek-R1, a breakthrough new paradigm for developing industrial apps is created – one where design translates directly into development, and development leads straight to application.
Multi-agent collaboration across the entire business workflow: Leveraging DeepSeek-R1’s strong reasoning capabilities and integrating multi-agent collaboration technologies, we build an enterprise-level multi-agent collaboration platform.
Industrial-grade analysis and decision-making engine: By integrating the trillion-parameter inference engine of DeepSeek-V3, and leveraging advanced NLP2SQL and NLP2API technologies, it intelligently aggregates and thoroughly analyzes massive amounts of industrial data to uncover hidden value and overcome decision-making challenges in complex scenarios.
Strategic layout: From “ALL in AI” to collaborative ecosystem development. Zhongkong Technology began its exploration and investment in AI quite early on; in 2024, it officially launched the “ALL in AI” strategy, aiming to integrate artificial intelligence technologies into all aspects of industrial production and drive innovation in industrial AI. At the 2024 Zhongkong Global New Product Launch in Singapore on June 5, 2024, Zhongkong Technology unveiled its new corporate vision – “to become a global leader in industrial AI and use AI to drive sustainable industrial development” – as well as its mission – “to make industry smarter and help customers achieve greater success”.
Since launching the “ALL in AI” strategy, Zhongkong Technology has established a new “1+2+N” intelligent factory architecture. Here, 1 represents one factory operating system, 2 represents two types of automation [Process Automation and Business Automation], and N represents N industrial apps. Among them, the TPT large-scale temporal model for the process industry, developed in the PA field, has been applied in various scenarios; whereas in the BA field, DeepSeek serves as the core foundation, enabling optimization across the entire value chain of research, production, supply, and sales
1. TPT, a sequential large model for the process industry: focused on optimizing production and operation (PA) scenarios. On June 5, 2024, InControl Technology unveiled TPT, the first AI temporal large model for the process industry, at the 2024 InControl Global New Product Launch in Singapore. The introduction of this large model is expected to address industry challenges such as fragmented industrial applications and scattered data usage, enabling factories to shift from a model-per-application approach to a new model where one TPT model serves as a foundation for multiple application scenarios. Currently, the industrial applications developed by Zhongkong Technology based on TPT have achieved breakthroughs in facilities such as chlor-alkali, thermal power, and petrochemical industries.
