Design Practice and The Future of New Digital Infrastructure in the 5G Era

As the technological competition of the 5G era is becoming increasingly fierce, a series of ICT technologies (including cloud computing, artificial intelligence, big data, and industrial Internet) are applied to key production processes and workflows in various industries. It has enabled scenarios that were previously unimaginable, or even revolutionized some traditional areas.

In this huge transformation, designers may not simply be the satisfiers of user requirements, but rather the standard-setter of production experience. As experience designers, how could we quickly understand the complex business context and look into the future? Is there a transferable design framework that can be quickly applied to other industries?

In this workshop, we will share 3 digital transformation design cases (smart coal, smart steel, and smart energy) based on Huawei's unique ICT business landscape. We will also share an UX architecture with progressive thinking for new digital infrastructure projects. The methodology of industrial digital twins will also be introduced.

This workshop can inspire experience designers and product managers in the ToB domain to learn from the digital transformation, quickly identify design opportunities, and improve overall design efficiency and quality.

*Notes
Digital twin: For physical entities, digital means are used to build a mirror image in the digital world to maintain real-time interaction and connection with physical entities. Big data and AI algorithms are used to control the entire life cycle of physical entities through simulation and prediction. At present, it is mainly used in manufacturing, engineering construction, medicine, military and other fields.
