About Shagang Group

Founded in 1975, Shagang is China’s largest private steel enterprise group, ranking among the top nationwide in annual crude steel output and consistently listed in the Fortune Global 500 for many years. With over ten thousand employees and business operations spanning numerous countries and regions worldwide, Shagang has recently positioned digitalization and intelligent transformation as core strategies for corporate development. It continues to increase investment in digital infrastructure, smart manufacturing, and AI applications, aiming to build a world-class digitalized steel enterprise.

Strategic Cooperation Overview

The key focus of this strategic partnership is to jointly build an enterprise-wide collaborative office platform based on a dedicated DingTalk foundation and powered by Wukong AI as the intelligent engine, targeting real operational pain points in the steel industry. The collaboration will advance seven innovative AI-driven scenarios, transforming AI capabilities into tangible value.

In terms of collaborative office infrastructure, Shagang will leverage the dedicated DingTalk digital base to integrate existing core business systems such as OA, HR, and finance, achieving unified account management, single sign-on, and seamless data interoperability. It will also implement a private data hybrid storage solution with enhanced security monitoring mechanisms, laying a solid foundation for the company’s digital transformation.

At the AI application level, Shagang will fully adopt DingTalk’s intelligent agent development platform to support widespread AI use cases. The company plans to roll out Wukong across the entire organization, deeply integrating it into daily operations to create an AI-native organization that unleashes organizational vitality and individual employee creativity. For example, the jointly developed "KYT Safety Hazard Automatic Inspection Assistant" leverages AI-powered visual recognition technology to collect and review real-time video data from production sites, automatically identifying potential safety risks and providing intelligent protection for steel production safety.

In addition, both parties will jointly promote the development of Shagang’s AI talent pipeline through systematic AI training workshops, cultivating digital pioneers and establishing replicable AI application scenarios and benchmark digital solutions.
