Be deep internally and wide externally
The group's research and development does not pursue concepts, but solves real operational problems in eight industries. The key systems of all member companies are built on a common computing and data infrastructure to avoid duplication of construction and ensure that they are not restricted to a single external supplier.
Annual R&D investment (100 million Egyptian dollars)
R&D investment as a proportion of operating income
Group-level technology platform
Technology with real scenes,
Only then will there be a chance to be verified
The group's R&D system has an unusual advantage: it has both problems and scenarios. A set of scheduling assistance algorithms can be verified on the national railway's real road network, a set of predictive maintenance models can be verified on more than 600 wide-body aircraft and the national locomotive fleet, and an image interpretation system can be verified in the actual diagnosis and treatment process of general hospitals and grassroots institutions.
This determines the organisation of the group's R&D: technical capabilities are centrally built by Marcus Elam Corporation, application scenarios are provided by member companies, and industrial topics are undertaken by Tsing Shing Kariton University. The three parties collaborate under the same set of data standards and authorization frameworks.
common base
The underlying computing and data infrastructure of aviation operation control systems, railway dispatching auxiliary decision-making, subway passenger flow forecasts, and medical image analysis platforms are all built by MEC. The group unifies the technology selection and data standards of each member enterprise, so thatThe same indicator has the same meaning in five types of businesses——This is more important than storing data centrally.
boundary
Systems involving passengers' personal information, patient health data and industrial production data must implement independent access control and audit traces. Data queries across member companies require independent approval. Approval records and query statements are left together. De-identification algorithms and authorization strategies are subject to external audits once a year.
Six group-level platforms
Each platform is jointly built by one or more member companies and serves common needs across sectors.
Unified data center
The operational data of five types of businesses: aviation, railway, subway, industry and medical are integrated into the same governance framework, and cross-sector analysis and modeling are supported under hierarchical authorization.
