Open Horizon Digital Platform: Building a
Foundation for the Digital WorldIndustry digitization will create a market worth trillions
of US dollars, which will require an open digital
platform upon which the foundation of the digital
world can be built. We have built the cloud-based
Horizon Digital Platform by integrating multiple
new ICT technologies including IoT, AI, big data,
video, converged communications, and geographic
information system (GIS). This platform enables
data integration, business collaboration, and agile
innovation, and has become an essential tool for
helping industries go digital and building a foundation
for the future digital world.The scenario-based solutions we have developed based
on the Horizon Digital Platform have seen large-scale
commercial use in multiple areas such as cities,
campuses, and transportation.Horizon for cities: Horizon integrates the data of
government departments to achieve real-time data
sharing and build a foundation upon which smart
cities can support efficient business decision making
and scientific governance. For example, Lanzhou New
District in China’s Gansu Province worked with Huawei
to build a Horizon-based digital twin, which covers
ICT infrastructure, city governance, services related
to livelihood, industry development, and smart city
operations. This project is set to put Lanzhou New
District on the fast track to high-quality development.Horizon for campuses: Horizon integrates campus
businesses and systems across different domains to
share business capabilities and build secure, intelligent,
and green digital campuses. For example, Huawei used
Horizon to migrate China’s Soochow University to the
cloud, supporting ubiquitous learning and integrated,
innovative scientific research. This also enabled
transparent and efficient school administration, created
an enriched university culture, and made campus life
more convenient.Horizon for transportation:
■ With the Horizon Digital Platform, Shenzhen
Airport has streamlined its security management,
airport operations, and passenger services, hugely
boosting efficiency. Flight departure punctuality has
increased to 87%, while intelligent stand allocation
reduced the number of shuttle bus passengers by 4
million annually.■ Huawei and Shenzhen Metro used the Horizon
platform to build an Intelligent Operation Center
for urban rail, allowing Shenzhen Metro to stay
informed of its overall operations. The center
improves IT resource utilization by approximately
50% and platform security by around 80%.Shenzhen: Huawei has helped more than 1,800 government
