This transformation has not only vastly improved the intelligence level of the automotive industry but has also introduced entirely new business models and growth points to the sector.

At the R&D stage, AI technology injects new vitality into vehicle design through big data analysis and machine learning algorithms. Facing the fierce market competition of hundreds of new and facelifted car models annually, automakers must accurately grasp user needs to form a differentiated competitive advantage. Lan-You cleverly utilizes AI technology to build a precise mapping system between user demand and product definition; by deeply mining massive user data, it helps automakers achieve the transition from "experience-driven" to "data-driven" R&D, thereby accurately positioning product selling points, significantly shortening the R&D cycle, and improving design efficiency. Concurrently, the application of AI in critical areas like autonomous driving and smart cockpits also promotes the intelligent upgrade of automotive products, providing users with a safer, more convenient, and comfortable mobility experience.

The production stage has also been revolutionized by the introduction of AI technology. Lan-You has achieved significant breakthroughs in smart manufacturing, making the complex process of production planning highly efficient and precise through its self-developed scheduling solver. This solver can rapidly find the optimal solution under multi-factory and multi-constraint conditions, shortening production scheduling tasks that originally took several hours to just minutes, greatly enhancing the flexibility and responsiveness of production planning. This innovation not only optimizes production processes but also reduces production costs and improves production efficiency.

The supply chain is another crucial area for AI technology application. Lan-You has built the intelligent, resilient, and scalable Global Logistics Execution Platform (G-LES), achieving comprehensive tracking and visualized management of supply chain data. The platform ensures transparency and traceability across all supply chain links through a "one-code-to-the-end" tracking mechanism. Concurrently, by leveraging AI algorithms for rapid judgment and response to sudden events, the platform can proactively generate contingency plans, shorten the decision chain, and enhance supply chain resilience. Furthermore, the platform integrates multi-party resources, including automakers, supply chain partners, and shipping companies, forming a powerful collaborative network to jointly address market challenges.

At the sales and service stages, AI technology is equally widespread and deeply applied. Lan-You has undertaken innovative practices in lead management, transforming the traditional one-way assembly line process into an intelligent collaborative loop. By utilizing AI for real-time lead tagging, high-quality lead identification, rule-based preferential allocation, automatic invitation, group creation, process quality inspection, script recommendation, and profile extraction, the system achieves an end-to-end closed loop for lead management. At the same time, AI plays a vital role in customer service; the intelligent diagnosis platform launched by Lan-You integrates large model and knowledge graph technology to enable conversational analysis, root cause recommendation, multi-modal analysis, and automatic battery pre-warning, providing users with a more intelligent and convenient service experience.
