In order to thoroughly implement the strategic deployment of the Party Central Committee and the State Council on building a manufacturing power, a maritime power, and a transportation power, Taihu Laboratory aims at the cross-border integration of modern information technology and new-generation artificial intelligence technology with ship technology to improve ship safety, With economy, environmental protection and efficiency as the core, focusing on accelerating the engineering application of ship intelligent technology, vigorously promoting collaborative innovation, and actively exploring new industrial formats and new models. Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. is an information and communication solution provider with absolute competitiveness in the fields of communication networks, IT, intelligent terminals and cloud services. After friendly negotiation between Taihu Laboratory and Huawei, the "Joint Innovation Laboratory for Intelligent Application of Marine Data" (hereinafter referred to as "Lianchuang Laboratory") was jointly established.

Lianchuang Lab is positioned as a strategic force in the intelligent direction of Taihu Lab. Relying on the superior resources of Taihu Laboratory and Huawei, Lianchuang Lab aims at the engineering applications of ship intelligent technology (such as intelligent perception, intelligent engine room, intelligent auxiliary machinery, etc.), intelligent applications of marine data of ships (such as data processing, data warehouse applications), In the direction of intelligent test technology for real ships and marine equipment, the goal is to complete the development of relevant key intelligent equipment systems, improve the intelligence of ships and seas, realize the pilot demonstration of typical scenarios of remote control, autonomous navigation and other functions, and expand the demonstration application of typical intelligent ships and seas Promote, initially form the comprehensive testing and verification capabilities of the combination of virtual and real smart ships and the integration of shore and sea, and keep the development of smart ships in my country in sync with the world level.

Lianchuang Laboratory conducts joint innovation research on core technologies in the fields of ship and marine data governance, intelligent testing of real ships, and engineering application of ship intelligent technology. In the first stage, four topics including water machine vision technology, underwater detection technology, marine data management and application technology, and real ship equipment digital technology are selected to jointly tackle key problems, promote the integration and development of traditional and emerging technologies in the shipbuilding industry, and focus on market and The industry needs to carry out productization and industrialization promotion.
