Baidu AI Cloud Manufacturing China Translated from Chinese

CRRC Corporation

CRRC needed an industrial large-model environment and a faster approach to aerodynamic simulation so it could carry out the state-owned-enterprise 'AI plus industry' mandate without the time and compute overhead of traditional simulation tools.

Aerodynamic-simulation runtime dropped from 24 hours to 10 seconds on a single machine.

Reported impact

Business outcome

CRRC gained a reusable industrial-AI service layer and a dramatic reduction in aerodynamic-simulation cycle time, improving both general AI adoption and a high-value engineering workload.

Solution

CRRC used Baidu AI Cloud to build two connected industrial-AI layers. First, Baidu delivered a one-stop enterprise large-model solution adapted to CRRC's domestic GPU environment, dedicated container cloud and MaaS interfaces. That gave CRRC access to language, image, computer-vision and multimodal model services for tasks such as agent development, visual analysis, quality inspection and design support. Second, the two sides created the 'Zhuolun Fengchi' aerodynamic-simulation large model for high-speed train development. Instead of treating simulation as a purely numerical batch job, the new design combines a data-driven simulation model, an efficient compute framework and application tools so engineers can change shapes and get feedback almost immediately. The platform therefore serves both general industrial-AI use cases and one deeply vertical engineering workload, giving CRRC a shared industrial model layer plus a breakthrough application in train aerodynamics.

Data flow

Industrial users access language, vision and multimodal services through the MaaS platform, while train-shape data is sent through the aerodynamic large model to generate near-real-time simulation results for design iteration.
