This year's World Artificial Intelligence Conference gathers cutting-edge scientific and technological achievements from around the world, focusing on the practical application of industrial digital intelligence integration. PipeChina showcased multiple innovative achievements in energy pipeline networks at the grand event, winning heavyweight awards and demonstrating solid results in the digital transformation of energy infrastructure in all aspects.

Deeply cultivate digital intelligence and solidify the foundation of the pipeline network

The 2026 World Artificial Intelligence Conference will be held in Shanghai from July 17th to 20th, 2026.   During the conference, PipeChina made it into the top ten of the Outstanding Artificial Intelligence Leaders Award and was awarded the SAIL Star for its mature achievements in energy intelligence applications.

PipeChina showcased multiple innovative achievements on site, including the industrial world model of pipeline networks, human-machine collaborative operations, and intelligent station operation and maintenance. Through a real-life sand table, it intuitively presented the advantages of intelligent regulation, intelligent patrol, and other core scenarios. Relying on the digital twin system, it achieved simulation of pipeline network conditions, risk identification, and situational analysis, comprehensively ensuring the safe and stable operation of the national pipeline network. At the same time, PipeChina's self-developed data intelligence employees have been applied in nearly 100 stations across the country, promoting the transformation of pipeline operations from experience driven to data-driven.

Empowering openness and cultivating new trends in the industry

In recent years, PipeChina has been deeply implementing artificial intelligence and action, promoting the strategy of prioritizing intelligent development. Multiple application scenarios have been selected as typical cases and demonstration scenarios by national ministries and commissions, highlighting the leading role of industry demonstration. At this conference, PipeChina opened up 23 high-quality datasets and 14 intelligent application scenarios to the public, covering core areas such as pipeline operation, safety production, and intelligent operation and maintenance, to assist in the technological iteration and implementation of achievements in the energy industry.
