【Customer Background】

Xi'an Yunwei Zhilian Technology Co., Ltd., established in 2016, is a high-tech company specializing in the research of intelligent equipment control systems. Located in the core area of Xi'an High-tech Zone with a registered capital of 50 million RMB, the company focuses on developing high-reliability, modular, and networked distributed control system architectures and intelligent control technologies to meet the demands for intelligence, digitization, and integration of next-generation high-end equipment.

Leveraging advanced IT technologies such as artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things (IoT), and cloud computing, the company proposes solutions for distributed integrated modular control system platforms that fulfill the requirements of intelligent control and information fusion. Key technologies include deterministic network communication for mixed-criticality systems, strategies for sharing system resources, and smart and efficient overall control solutions. The company has developed prototypes of deterministic network communication systems based on time-triggered mechanisms, which support seamless integration of control and information, laying the technical foundation for intelligent and integrated control systems. This contributes to upgrading and localization design of control systems for high-end equipment in sectors like mining, high-speed rail, and power in China.

The company's business mainly covers four areas: development of time-deterministic network products, standard computer module development, intelligent control platform development, and system integration and services. Its team primarily consists of members from universities, research institutes, and well-known communication companies, including a 70-person R&D team with experience and validation capabilities in the autonomous design of time-deterministic networks and intelligent control systems. The company has independently developed intellectual property rights for time-triggered Ethernet TTE, time-sensitive network TSN, enhanced high-speed 1553B products, fiber channel FC, full-duplex AFDX Ethernet, and other network products. Based on real-time networks, it has proposed solutions for cloud-controlled intelligent platforms, independently developed T2080 processing module standard computers and remote interface units, and created middleware supporting resource management, fault tolerance, and reconfiguration for networking, computing, storage, etc., building a shared resource pool. It currently collaborates with multiple entities including CRRC and the Railway Science Academy.

The advantages of time-deterministic Ethernet include speed, flexibility, precision, and reliability. By innovatively introducing a time-triggered communication mechanism, Ethernet extends from the information domain to the control domain, forming the foundational structure for future intelligent equipment control systems.
