en.Wedoany.com Reported - On June 16, 2026, HollySys held the XMagital Industrial AI Ecosystem Partner Conference in Xi'an, unveiling XMagital 2.0, with the core being the industrial world model XWorld, aiming to achieve "free definition" and "autonomous operation." The conference attracted over a thousand ecosystem partners from industries including petrochemicals, chemicals, electric power, pharmaceuticals, food, machine tools, and transportation. Experts and scholars such as Miao Changxing, Executive Vice President of the China Instrument and Control Society; Chen Baoguo, Executive Deputy Secretary-General of the China Software Industry Association; Du Wenli, Vice President of East China University of Science and Technology; and Dr. Tao Xinghui, Industrial Mentor at the Cambridge Centre for Smart Infrastructure in the UK, together with HollySys Holding Company Director and CEO Wang Zheng, HollySys Technology Group Chairman and Co-President Xu Yue, and HollySys Technology Group Co-President Fang Lei, witnessed this launch.
In his opening address, Xu Yue, Chairman and Co-President of HollySys Technology Group, stated that over the past year, XMagital has expanded into more than 10 industries, serving over 480 clients. He pointed out that the core of industrial AI is to bridge the certainty of the industrial world with the probability of the digital world. Driven by the XWorld industrial world model, XMagital 2.0 adheres to the concept of "free definition and autonomous operation," building a secure and controllable intelligent ecosystem rooted in industrial knowledge and oriented towards customer value.
Miao Changxing, Executive Vice President of the China Instrument and Control Society, believes that XMagital 2.0, with the XWorld industrial world model at its core, drives the transformation of industrial control systems from passive instruction execution to active intelligent cognition. Chen Baoguo, Executive Deputy Secretary-General of the China Software Industry Association, stated that XMagital 2.0 achieves a paradigm shift in industrial software from tool-based to cognitive-based, breaking the limitation of software being only passively executed.
The keynote report of the conference was jointly delivered by Zhu Yiming, Chief Engineer of HollySys Group; Dr. Fan Yiming, Senior Researcher of the Industrial World Model at the Central Research Institute; and Dr. Hu Pengfei, Technical Director of the Intelligent Software Platform Research Institute at the Central Research Institute. The report showed that XMagital 2.0, with the XWorld industrial world model as its core engine, constructs a three-tier progressive intelligent system from the industrial data foundation to the industrial world model and then to industrial autonomous operation. XWorld deeply integrates time-series models, mechanistic models, ontology models, decision-making models, and industrial knowledge bases to create a deducible, interactive, and evolvable industrial digital twin.
The industry deployment of XMagital covers three major tracks: process industry, discrete manufacturing, and infrastructure. In the process industry, Li Yu, Vice President of Industrial AI at HollySys, demonstrated five application clusters (Agents) based on XWorld, covering production, planning, equipment, safety and environment, and operations. In the discrete manufacturing track, Zhao Henan, Vice President of the Discrete Industrial Business Group at HollySys, showcased practices of AI empowering intelligent manufacturing and restructuring production and management models. In the infrastructure track, Wang Xiaoliang, Vice President of the Transportation Business Group at HollySys, presented the capability map built by XMagital based on a "digital foundation + smart operations and maintenance + smart decision-making" framework.
The conference invited academic experts to share cutting-edge perspectives. Dr. Tao Xinghui, Industrial Mentor at the Cambridge Centre for Smart Infrastructure in the UK, delivered an academic report titled "Industrial World Model." Du Wenli, Vice President of East China University of Science and Technology, pointed out that intelligent process manufacturing is transitioning from "digital construction" to "intelligent operation" and introduced the collaborative exploration between the National Innovation Center for Intelligent Regulation Technology of Process Manufacturing and HollySys: HollySys XMagital provides the platform foundation and application ecosystem, while the National Innovation Center focuses on production line-level intelligent optimization and model closed-loop, jointly building a new paradigm of "foundation + APP + AI" for the process manufacturing control layer.
Ecosystem partners from over ten industries, including energy, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, food, and equipment manufacturing, shared frontline practices. The process industry direction covered benchmark scenarios such as green hydrogen management and control, autonomous chemical plant operation, smart power plants, and full-process petrochemical intelligence, as well as directions like domestic computing power integration, APS intelligent scheduling Agent, pharmaceutical digital transformation, PID parameter auto-tuning, and intelligent equipment fault diagnosis. The discrete manufacturing direction showcased practices including multi-factory intelligent foundations for the food industry, integrated management and control, AI-empowered digital machine tools, and industrial AI tool platforms.
Outside the conference hall, an XMagital product exhibition area and an ecosystem partner exhibition area were set up. The product exhibition area, centered on XWorld, presented the full-stack technology chain of "industrial data foundation—industrial world model—industrial autonomous operation" through real-time demonstration systems. The ecosystem partner exhibition area displayed over ten industry benchmark cases based on XMagital, covering fields such as petrochemicals, oil and gas, electric power, new energy, metallurgy, building materials, pharmaceuticals, and nuclear energy, including the localized DCS for million-ton ethylene, the world's largest green hydrogen-ammonia-methanol integrated project, virtual DCS smart power plants, and offshore unmanned oil production platforms.
With the breakthrough innovation of XMagital 2.0, HollySys provides a solution for the high-end development and large-scale deployment of industrial AI, featuring a fully autonomous and controllable full-stack technology and an open platform architecture that gathers ecosystem strength, offering an intelligent path from "import substitution" to "innovation leadership" for key industries in the national economy.
