In an era where the world is progressively shifting towards intelligent manufacturing and low-carbon solutions, SANY is at the forefront with its strategic focus on globalization, digitalization, and decarbonization. The company is transforming its traditional equipment manufacturing approach into a dynamic provider of intelligent data terminals, thereby enhancing productivity and sustainability in heavy machinery operations.
Commitment to Intelligent Manufacturing
SANY is not merely adapting; it is revolutionizing every aspect of its operations from product development to manufacturing processes. The company is modernizing its key equipment by incorporating automation, digital solutions, and smart technologies. This initiative has led to a swift expansion into global smart manufacturing and advanced digital operational systems. SANY has invested significantly in research institutes focused on intelligent technologies across its R&D centers.
Utilizing cutting-edge advancements such as the Internet of Vehicles (IoV), artificial intelligence, and big data, SANY has curated a wide range of smart products that cater to various applications across multiple industries. This diversification emphasizes SANY's role in the intelligent transformation of traditional sectors.
Real-World Applications
SANY's intelligent products are already operational within critical industries like mining, urban infrastructure, and energy development. For example, 40 autonomous all-terrain mining trucks operate 24/7 in a major coal mine located in Inner Mongolia. Similarly, in Kunming, unmanned loaders are consistently working in a concrete batching plant. Additionally, SANY's intelligent fleet management system allows a team of 15 to oversee over 200 heavy-duty trucks, efficiently integrating machinery and workflows with digital systems, enabling machines to 'think', 'decide', and collaborate.
Highlighting Smart Innovations
A standout example of SANY’s innovation is its autonomous paving and compaction fleet. On July 16, SANY held its inaugural Global Premium Customer Summit for Road Machinery in Changsha, showcasing its intelligent paving solutions in front of over 600 clients from nearly 40 countries. During a demonstration, an autonomous paver laid down a 100-meter asphalt road with remarkable precision, seamlessly followed by two double-drum rollers and two pneumatic rollers. The real-time coordination and quality achieved during this operation left a strong impression on all attendees.
Since launching its first-generation unmanned road machinery in 2019, SANY has evolved it into a third-generation fleet equipped with:
- - Precision Control: A proprietary technology integrating perception and positioning to ensure precise curb detection, allowing for zero deviation from the edge.
- - Enhanced Safety: An autonomous driving system incorporates LiDAR and vision fusion to avoid obstacles, significantly reducing labor needs on-site by over 60%.
- - Smart Optimization: Automatic adjustment of compaction methods according to onsite conditions, while ensuring surface flatness (σ < 0.75 mm).
This autonomous fleet is already deployed in over 50 projects throughout China, underscoring SANY's commitment to advancing smart construction machinery.
Future Outlook
Looking ahead, SANY is poised to increase its investments in R&D related to core intelligent technologies, aiming to respond efficiently to market demands. The company is dedicated to continuously delivering innovative, efficient, and eco-friendly equipment solutions to its global clientele. With its pioneering spirit and strategic initiatives, SANY is not just keeping pace with industry changes but is actively setting the standard.
