Recently, the Shanghai Municipal Commission of Economy and Information Technology released the first batch of application scenarios for the collaborative transformation of digitalization and greening in Shanghai's manufacturing industry. UCloud, together with its strategic partner Shanghai Jinghai Weixiang Biomaterials Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Jinghai Weixiang"), jointly explored the "Bio-Intelligent Manufacturing Innovation Management Platform" project. This solution was selected as a demonstration application scenario due to its scenario value of "empowering the entire process management and carbon accounting of bioproduct R&D and manufacturing".

To accelerate the implementation of the "Shanghai Action Plan for Promoting the Collaborative Transformation and Development of Digitalization and Greening of Manufacturing Industry (2024-2027)" (Shanghai Economic and Information Technology Research [2024] No. 256), create benchmark application scenarios for the collaborative transformation of digitalization and greening, and accelerate the development of new industrialization, Shanghai organized this selection process, with a total of 16 application scenarios selected to play a leading role in the industry.
Under the call for the development of new quality productivity, biomanufacturing technology, as an alternative to traditional chemical production, will become a major production method in the future due to its green and sustainable advantages. To promote the digitalization of biomanufacturing enterprises in China, UCloud and Jinghai Weixiang reached a strategic cooperation agreement in May of this year, establishing a long-term and friendly cooperative relationship. Based on cutting-edge technologies such as cloud computing, big data, and artificial intelligence, the two parties will jointly plan and build an AI synthetic biology R&D platform, an intelligent factory for bio-based materials, and a carbon trading and carbon management platform , aiming to improve the efficiency of biomaterial R&D, production, and recycling, and promote the development of a green and low-carbon economy.
Addressing the challenges of high energy consumption, susceptibility to pollution, unstable fermentation, and high costs currently facing industrial biotechnology, and aiming to gradually achieve large-scale, stable, and efficient fermentation production using microorganisms, UCloud and Jinghaiweixiang have jointly created the "Bio-Manufacturing Innovation Management Platform." This platform integrates core modules such as AI+synthetic biology, data management, carbon footprint tracking, and production system simulation, enabling comprehensive digital management and intelligent upgrades from strain selection and R&D to industrial fermentation and material production. Leveraging their respective technological and resource advantages, the two parties jointly designed a complete integrated solution from biosynthesis to material application, and successfully participated in this selection process.
Jinghaiweixiang, an innovative company in the field of synthetic biology and biomass materials, is committed to building a low-carbon, environmentally friendly, and sustainable green industrial chain through the power of biotechnology; while UCloud, as a leading cloud computing service company in China, lays a solid digital foundation for the development of the digital economy with its advanced cloud platform and intelligent computing solutions.
In this demonstration application project, UCloud fully leveraged its deep expertise in cloud services and practical achievements in cutting-edge technologies such as large-scale artificial intelligence models to build a stable and reliable digital infrastructure for the "Bio-Manufacturing Innovation Management Platform." The platform not only provides powerful cloud resource support and digital system empowerment but also integrates industrial internet solutions such as a digital twin application platform designed specifically for the manufacturing sector, enabling intelligent monitoring and visualized management of production process data. Furthermore, the platform supports private deployment, ensuring data security and meeting specific business needs.

Once completed, the platform will rely on an independently controllable AI+synthetic biology R&D platform and a digital twin factory management system to focus on key objectives such as improving R&D efficiency, achieving production automation, and reducing environmental impact. The introduction of AI technology will significantly improve the efficiency of strain cultivation and synthetic biology R&D, and enhance material formulation R&D capabilities; at the same time, the intelligent carbon management platform will enable precise traceability of the carbon footprint throughout the entire process, effectively reducing carbon emissions and negative environmental impacts.
The close collaboration between UCloud and Jinghai Weixiang makes this joint project likely to be widely applied across the entire biomanufacturing industry chain, including chemical materials, biomedicine, biomass energy, and food and daily chemicals, driving the comprehensive digital and intelligent transformation of biomanufacturing processes. The innovative carbon management platform provides the manufacturing industry with a new green and environmentally friendly solution, ensuring transparency, traceability, and data reliability in the carbon emission calculation process.
In the future, both parties will continue to increase resources and R&D investment, build an AI-driven intelligent materials R&D system and a digital production base, continuously deepen industry applications, and jointly promote technological innovation and green development in the field of biomanufacturing.
