According to people familiar with the matter, Huawei recently issued an internal document to formally establish the Customs and Port Corps, the Smart Highway Corps, the Data Center Energy Corps, and the Smart Photovoltaic Corps. This is also after the establishment of the Coal Mine Corps for the first time in April this year, Huawei once again organized the Corps.

According to reports, the top leaders of the four newly established corps have been recruited through internal open competition: Yang Yougui is the CEO of the Data Center Energy Corps, Chen Guoguang is the CEO of the Smart Photovoltaic Corps, and the two corps report to the president of Huawei Digital Energy. Xun Su served as the CEO of the Customs and Port Corps, and Ma Yue served as the CEO of the Smart Highway Corps.

Why did Huawei set up four legions in one go? In fact, this has long been traced. In February of this year, Huawei's founder and CEO Ren Zhengfei pointed out in an interview with Xinhua News Agency that “Huawei's previous communication network was mainly used to connect thousands of households and provide connections for billions of people. But in the 5G era, the main The connection objects are enterprises, such as airports, docks, coal mines, steel, automobile manufacturing, aircraft manufacturing... Whether to become a'legion' depends mainly on whether scientists need to be incorporated into the front-line combat team, if necessary, use the legionary model, if not If necessary, use the matrix business module model."

Obviously, in Huawei's view, fields such as customs ports, smart highways, data centers, and smart photovoltaics have met the conditions for establishing a "legion." What exactly is the army formed by Huawei? What are the reasons behind the intensive action? What can it bring to the industry?

What is Huawei Corps?

The legion organization was personally formulated and supervised by Huawei founder Ren Zhengfei.

According to Ren Zhengfei's definition of the legion organization: that is, through legion operations, breaking the existing organizational boundaries, quickly gathering resources, interspersing operations, improving efficiency, deepening and penetrating a field, being responsible for business success, and producing more food for the company. According to the insiders of Huawei, the company concentrates all BG's elite soldiers, breaks boundaries to open up resources, forms vertical capabilities to break through key industries, and creates new growth engines.

According to Ren Zhengfei, the term "legion" came from Google, and Huawei learned from Google. The Legion is to gather basic research scientists, technical experts, product experts, engineering experts, sales experts, delivery and service experts into one department, shortening the cycle of product progress.

The purpose is simple and simple. It is to help vertical industries shorten the cycle of product advancement and produce more food for the company.

What can Huawei Corps do?

First, use Huawei's ICT, especially 5G technology, to accelerate the intelligentization of vertical industries.

Take the first coal mine corps as an example. Huawei has applied information and communication technology to mines, and the most important thing is to help coal mines achieve intelligence. Huawei can help the coal industry achieve fewer people, no one, safety, and efficiency. This not only solves the safety and efficient production of coal mines, it allows coal miners to work in "suits and ties", and it may also drive the development of coal mining machinery in Shanxi.

For example, through the introduction of 5G technology, the "braid" has been cut. Shanxi's gas explosion prevention system is very good, but there are 4 wires connected to the gas sensor, two power wires, and two signal wires. When we come in, the gas sensor does not need to be wired, and the device uses a battery for power supply and transmits it wirelessly. Not only can it be arranged at will in the tunnel, but as the mining machine advances arbitrarily, it does not need to slow down the mining movement of the mining machine due to the wiring, and the output capacity is improved; a small battery is used to power the gas alarm with low energy, 12 -18 months to replace the battery.

Second, fully release the technological evolution dividends of traditional industries and promote the advancement of ICT, especially 5G technology.

But how to plan to land and who depends on who to land depends on companies like Huawei that have strong technology research and development and full-stack solutions. Because they understand CT and IT, and they are willing to learn OT and work hard with their partners.

Third, we need to buy more food to help the company survive with quality.

As we all know, due to US sanctions, Huawei has encountered a lot of pressure in its production and operation. In Huawei's performance in the first half of this year, only corporate business revenue has achieved growth; the consumer business, which originally accounted for half of the revenue, has experienced a sharp decline.

The growth of corporate business is mainly due to the continuous acceleration of corporate digital transformation under emerging ICT technologies such as 5G. Huawei has created more than 100 scenario-based solutions covering more than 10 industries such as smart cities, finance, energy, transportation, and manufacturing. plan. The establishment of the Legion is also to strengthen the digital capabilities of service companies, accelerate commercial implementation, and provide more food for Huawei. Only after the winter can we usher in a bright spring!
