On May 10, 2023, the 2023 CICEE indoor exhibition area has entered its second day of centralized exhibition arrangement, and thousands of companies are actively preparing for the exhibition. This exhibition attracted 1,502 Chinese and foreign companies to participate in the exhibition, including 35 of the world's top 50 construction machinery companies.

Thousands of companies are busy setting up exhibitions

"Take a video and send it to Moments." The workers who were setting up the exhibition in Hall E2 took out their mobile phones to shoot a helicopter. The reporter saw that this was a Sunward light sport aircraft. It is understood that this time Sunward will bring more than 50 high-end, intelligent and green equipment in six categories including underground engineering equipment, excavation machinery, high-altitude machinery, emergency rescue equipment, crushing and screening equipment, and navigation equipment independently developed by Sunward to the exhibition.

Emergency rescue equipment covering water, land and air fields is one of the highlights of its display. "Combined with the 5G terminal control platform, operators can remotely control intelligent products equipped with 5G terminals for rescue from thousands of miles away." Zhu Jianxin, deputy general manager of Sunward, said that Sunward also brought a demolition robot, a forest fire isolation zone, and a tree opening machine. Five types of emergency rescue equipment, including modular forest fire trucks, intelligent remote-controlled wheel loaders, and 5G remote-controlled simulation training intelligence platforms, were exhibited.

Walking into Hall E3 of the indoor exhibition area, Du Jing, an AGV (Automatic Guided Vehicle) commissioning engineer of Anhui Heli Co., Ltd., is conducting on-site commissioning for a forklift. "This is the third time the company has participated in the exhibition, and this time it has brought three AGV self-driving reach trucks." Du Jing introduced that at present, Heli forklift AGV covers four major categories - high-lift forward-moving, stacking type, counterweight type, handling type and special function customization. Based on laser/slam navigation mode and AI vision technology support, AGV has high operation precision, stable operation, strong adaptability in complex environments, and supports highly flexible smart factory applications.

In Hall E6, several big yellow equipment of China Railway Construction Heavy Industry Co., Ltd. are very eye-catching. Among them, China Railway Construction Heavy Industry's fully computerized three-arm rock drilling rig became the focus of the scene, and three long arms rose into the air. It is understood that the equipment has broken through the precise control technology of redundant degrees of freedom mechanical arm drilling, tunnel three-dimensional scanning and contour reconstruction technology, intelligent rock drilling rig machine integration technology, and has geological analysis, mechanical arm drilling precise control, tunnel Advanced functions such as 3D scanning.

Walking into the open space of the Changsha International Convention and Exhibition Center, the green-painted ZOOMLION equipment is particularly conspicuous. It is understood that Zoomlion has brought ZRT700, ZAT24000H and other products this time. Among them, ZAT24000H is the industry's first 2,400-ton all-terrain crane with the largest tonnage in the world. It meets the demand for large-scale and high-efficiency hoisting equipment in the domestic hot wind power market, and meets the hoisting of wind turbines at a height of 100 meters to 160 meters. Standard 9-axle all-terrain crane for road travel.

Low carbon and green become new trends

This exhibition is the first international large-scale exhibition after the implementation of the "National IV" emission standard in the construction machinery industry. The high-end, intelligent, and green levels of the exhibiting equipment have been significantly improved. All exhibits comply with the National IV standard, saving energy and reducing emissions. , Consumption reduction has become the vane of the exhibition.

In the exhibition area of Sany Group, a touch of "unusual" blue is particularly eye-catching. Different from the previous ones, the Sany booth changed the traditional red and yellow painting, and cleverly added a touch of blue.

This year, the types of equipment exhibited by Sany are more diverse than in previous years. There are as many as 80 exhibited equipment, all of which are the latest research and development, and the number is the largest in history. At the same time, Sany's exhibition area exceeds 10,000 square meters, making it the largest exhibitor in this exhibition.

"Blue represents technology, and also represents electrification." Zhao Hui, general manager of Sany Group Exhibition Company, introduced that under the background of "dual carbon", electrification is an inevitable trend in the construction machinery industry. Sany will exhibit more than 20 Taiwan electrified products, comprehensively displaying technologies in the fields of batteries, motors, electronic controls, battery replacement, hydrogen fuel, etc. to customers.

This year, Sunward will also focus on displaying the latest achievements in intelligence and greening. The design of the exhibition hall will focus on simplicity, atmosphere, and environmental protection. At the same time, Sunward's products include green and serialized equipment products such as National IV excavators, electric scissor aerial work platforms, multi-purpose and intelligent emergency rescue equipment such as multi-functional excavators and demolition robots, as well as large , Heavy-duty rotary drilling rigs, pile frames, double-wheel milling machines and other underground engineering complete sets of equipment, as well as light sports aircraft that are popular with the audience.

As the largest non-provincial enterprise in this exhibition, Guangxi Liugong Machinery Co., Ltd. chose "one electric to the end", and more than 10 exhibiting equipment such as loaders, excavators, and wide-body vehicles are all driven by pure electric vehicles.

Liugong is one of the earliest companies in the industry to develop and apply electric products. He Wuyu, brand manager of Liugong's domestic marketing center, introduced that Liugong only exhibited one electrified equipment at the last exhibition. After two years of precipitation, electrification technology has been successfully applied to various categories of construction machinery and equipment of LiuGong, forming a complete set of electric equipment construction solutions, leading the country in market share.

Hitachi Construction Machinery has participated in the exhibition for three consecutive times. It is an "old friend" of CICEE and will bring C series hydraulic excavators to the exhibition. This series is a green and energy-saving product tailored for Chinese users, with stronger durability and higher cost performance.

"This is a 90-ton excavator, and it is also Hitachi's largest exhibit at this time." Jiang Xueqian, manager of Hitachi Construction Machinery's public relations and digital marketing department, told reporters that Hitachi exhibited a total of 3 excavators this time, integrating the company's excavator field. The latest technology also skillfully integrates the solutions proposed by Hitachi in six aspects including new products, application products, intelligent mines, and the leasing market into the products.

Due to the heavy tonnage of the equipment, Hitachi's excavators do not use new energy to drive, "but we have raised the equipment emission standards to the "Construction Machinery National IV" standards just announced in December last year." Jiang Xueqian said that the improvement of emission standards means This means that workers do not need to add uric acid to treat the exhaust gas during operation, which not only improves the user experience, but is also more conducive to environmental protection.

The lineup of exhibitors in this exhibition is "luxury", with 35 of the world's top 50 construction machinery companies, an increase of 5 compared with the previous one.

"The proportion of electrified exhibitors has risen sharply and has become the focus of attention, creating a gratifying 'green' whirlwind." Zhang Biao, project secretary of the CICEE Organizing Committee, introduced. At the last exhibition two years ago, electrification technology was mainly used on excavators and loaders; at this exhibition, electrification application scenarios were fully rolled out.

Industry insiders predict that the penetration rate of electric construction machinery will increase rapidly in the next three years, reaching 30% to 40% by 2025, and the development prospects are very broad.Editor/Ma Xue
