TLDR: Digiwin recently launched a new book, ‘Digital Intelligence Productivity Forces: From Transformation to Regeneration,’ and introduced its innovative SUPA (Sensing–Understanding–Planning–Action) framework at a high-profile summit in Shanghai. Both initiatives are centered on leveraging AI and data to drive enterprise digital transformation and foster a new era of intelligent operations.
Shanghai, China – On August 13, 2025, Digiwin, a leading solution provider for manufacturing industries in Asia, hosted a significant summit in Shanghai, marking the official launch of its new book, ‘Digital Intelligence Productivity Forces: From Transformation to Regeneration,’ and the unveiling of its groundbreaking SUPA framework. The event brought together prominent leaders from industry, academia, and investment sectors to explore the transformative potential of artificial intelligence (AI) and data in ushering in a ‘new intelligence-driven era.’
The newly released book, co-authored by Digiwin chairman Ye Zizhen and two academic experts, distills the company’s extensive experience in AI-driven enterprise transformation. It serves as a comprehensive guide for businesses navigating the complexities of digital evolution.
A cornerstone of the summit was the introduction of the SUPA (Sensing–Understanding–Planning–Action) framework, a novel operational blueprint designed to facilitate intelligent enterprise operations. SUPA outlines a continuous feedback loop where companies ‘sense’ market and internal data, ‘understand’ it through rigorous analysis, ‘plan’ strategic responses, and then ‘act’ with real-time execution. This four-stage cycle, as detailed in Digiwin’s whitepapers, forms the core framework for digital-intelligent operations, replacing rigid process flows with an adaptable intelligence loop. Digiwin emphasizes that the SUPA model can be applied across all maturity levels, from manual (Level 0) to fully AI-driven (Level 4), enabling businesses to react with agility in dynamic and complex markets.
Professor Zhou Weihua of Zhejiang University commented on this paradigm shift, stating, ‘we have moved from industrial-era standardization, to information-era process flows, to today’s digital-intelligent age of intelligence-driven management.’ He further elaborated that AI’s role extends beyond mere efficiency gains, aiming to help enterprises ‘create new value’ for both business and society. This perspective underscores Digiwin’s vision of moving beyond process-driven management to embrace a data-centric, intelligence-driven paradigm.

Digiwin also highlighted the advanced capabilities of modern AI, asserting that it is far more than a simple automation tool. The company’s team emphasized the integration of AI, including the combination of DeepSeek’s low-cost, high-performance AI with Digiwin’s Athena platform. This integration is expected to significantly boost Athena’s capabilities in data analysis, intelligent decision-making, and process optimization, providing Chinese enterprises with robust options for deploying powerful AI solutions without starting from scratch. The summit underscored Digiwin’s commitment to empowering businesses with the tools and frameworks necessary for successful digital and intelligent transformation.
