What COSMOplat does
COSMOPlat (卡奥斯) is an industrial internet platform founded in April 2017 as the manufacturing-internet arm of Haier Group, headquartered in Qingdao, China, and operating across China plus 20+ countries internationally. It serves large industrial enterprises (home appliances, electronics, automotive parts, energy, chemicals, mechanical equipment, textile, mold), municipal governments, and chemical park operators with a '1+N' modular platform architecture anchored by Haier's 40 years of manufacturing pedigree. The platform has cumulatively served 9,500+ customers and operates 17 lighthouse factories across 10+ industries — the largest such cluster globally per company claims — and is ranked #1 by MIIT in China's cross-industry cross-domain industrial internet platform evaluation for seven consecutive years.
The core technology stack is COSMO-Sphere, a '1+N' enterprise industrial internet platform described as industry-first five-star (intelligent) grade. It integrates a proprietary Tianzhi Industrial Large Model (generative AI service registered October 2024) and Tianshu Industrial Data Platform as dual engines, paired with DeepSeek as a secondary LLM engine in a 'train-inference unified large-small model collaborative' architecture. Downstream products include COSMO-iMOM (L4 digital twin manufacturing integration, launched May 2026), iEMS energy-carbon management with the Energy Xiaozhi vertical model (May 2026), machine vision surface defect detection (99.9% precision, ~1,000 units deployed), Electronics MES, mold IoT terminals (iM-NII NB-IoT, iM-RI RFID), and the City Industrial Internet Service Platform (24 government departments, 15,655 enabling applications). The platform supports 53-class heterogeneous data integration with PB-level second-level response and powers 40+ industrial intelligent agents.
COSMOPlat runs a hybrid revenue model combining subscription/recurring contracts on COSMO-Sphere, hardware sales (machine vision, mold terminals, smart controllers, production-line equipment), managed services (smart air compressor, smart energy under '0 investment / 0 O&M / 0 risk' models), professional services and implementation, an application marketplace (store.cosmoplat.com), and an open-source developer community. GTM is enterprise sales-led via 400 hotline (400-135-7277) plus a self-serve 60-day trial on the enterprise console, augmented by city-government co-built platforms (工赋青岛 / 工赋芜湖), lighthouse factory channel replication, the GAIA-X European Federal Cloud embed, and five consecutive years at Hannover Messe. Frost & Sullivan ranks it #1 in China's platform-based industrial data intelligence solutions market by 2024 revenue, and IDC ranks it #1 in government-side digital market share at 14.7%.

COSMOplat product offering
Product offeringCore offering
COSMOPlat operates an industrial internet platform that enables mass customization, digital transformation, and AI-driven operations for manufacturing enterprises and governments. Its offering spans a flagship COSMO-Sphere enterprise platform with a '1+N' modular architecture, vertical industrial AI large models (Tianzhi), the Tianshu industrial data platform, digital twin manufacturing, machine vision inspection hardware, IoT terminals, and full-scenario solutions across home appliances, chemicals, energy, automotive, electronics, and municipal industrial parks. It has cumulatively served over 9,500 customers and enabled 17 lighthouse factories globally.
Product overview
COSMOPlat is a unified industrial internet platform-plus-modules architecture rather than a single product. The core platform — COSMOPlat Industrial Internet Platform (built on Haier's ~40 years of manufacturing experience since 2017, supporting mass customization, cross-industry, cross-domain, cross-region enablement) — provides the data, AI, IoT, and large-model foundation (Tianzhi industrial large model, Tianshu industrial data platform, COSMO large model with DeepSeek dual-engine, intelligent interaction engine). On top of it sits COSMO-Sphere (the "1+N" modular enterprise industrial internet platform described as the industry's first five-star intelligent-grade platform product). From there, a portfolio of scenario-level products, enterprise-grade platforms, and industry solutions are layered: COSMO-iMOM (Digital Twin Manufacturing Integrated Platform), iEMS Energy-Carbon Management Platform (with its Energy-Carbon Large Model "Energy Xiaozhi"), Machine Vision Surface Defect Detection, Intelligent MES for Electronics, Mold Smart Terminals iM-NII and iM-RI, City Industrial Internet Service Platform, Home Appliance Smart Control Solution, Smart Handling Full-Scenario Solution, Smart Dual-Carbon Solution, Chemical Industry Smart Cloud Factory Solution, plus vertical solutions for home appliances, automotive parts, textile/apparel, PCBA, chemical parks, smart energy (air-compressor stations, cooling/heating, motor energy-saving, smart microgrids, dual-carbon), and supporting infrastructure like the Industrial Network Security Situational Awareness Platform and Industrial Smart Security Solution. Together these turn the platform into a "super aircraft carrier" of plug-and-play capabilities for lighthouse factories and "1+N+X" urban industrial enablement.
