From tradition to future: Sany Heavy Industry interprets new quality productivity with digital intelligence

Today, with profound changes in the global industrial pattern, how to build traditional industries into emerging industries that lead the future is the proposition of the times faced by every manufacturing enterprise.

As a leader in China's construction machinery industry, Sany Heavy Industry has given its own answer with a profound "digital intelligence" revolution - no longer satisfied with the role of traditional manufacturers, focusing on intelligent manufacturing, intelligent products and intelligent operations, drawing a new blueprint for the future industry, becoming a vivid interpretation of new quality productivity in the industrial field.

Intelligent manufacturing: from manufacturing to intelligent manufacturing

Traditional manufacturing is characterized by manpower-intensive and process solidification, and Sany Heavy Industry, which is committed to becoming a global pioneer in intelligent manufacturing, is completely rewriting this narrative.

At present, Sany Heavy Industry has built 35 smart factories around the world, accelerating the release of surging new quality productivity. Among them, Changsha No. 18 Factory and Beijing Pile Crane Factory are the only two world-class lighthouse factories in the global heavy industry industry, and the Indonesian factory is the first overseas lighthouse factory in China's construction machinery industry.

Taking the Beijing pile machine factory as an example, relying on machine decision-making, the factory increased labor productivity by 85%, shortened the production cycle from 30 days to 7 days, a reduction of 77%, and successfully implemented 35 intelligent manufacturing scenario applications such as digital twins, process digital design, flexible configuration of production lines, and intelligent production scheduling, and was successfully awarded the first batch of "excellent smart factories" by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.

This is not only a reshaping of production efficiency, but also a redefinition of the industrial form - traditional heavy industry manufacturing has evolved into a new paradigm of future industry with human-machine collaboration and flexible production.

Smart products: from equipment to solutions

The accelerated evolution of construction machinery to intelligent terminals is the core chapter of Sany Heavy Industry's digital intelligence strategy, and it is also an inevitable requirement for the development of new quality productivity.

From traditional construction machinery to the world's first 5G remote-controlled excavator and intelligenceCraneand other intelligent products, and then to a series of scenario-based overall solutions such as open-pit mining and stripping, pump truck foundation construction, crane intelligent operation, intelligent pallet press group, etc., Sany Heavy Industry's product evolution process is a vivid epitome of its transformation from a traditional machinery manufacturer to an intelligent terminal and solution provider.

Construction machinery is no longer an isolated "steel behemoth", but an intelligent terminal integrated into 5G, Internet of Things, big data, and artificial intelligence. Among them, Sany open-pit mining and stripping digital intelligent solution is based on intelligent products such as remote control excavators and mining loaders, which keep operators away from the front line of operation and ensure production safety. In addition, relying on the digital intelligence and automated mine management system, the solution realizes the optimization of resource allocation, path planning and operation scheduling, further improving the overall operation efficiency.

Transforming from an equipment provider to a scenario enabler, Sany Heavy Industry is promoting the construction machinery industry as a whole to move towards a future industrial echelon with high value-added and high-tech content with new quality productivity.

Intelligent Operation: From "Human Governance" to "Digital Governance"

The iteration of the operation model is the key to Sany Heavy Industry moving from traditional industrial management to future industrial ecology. By continuously promoting the data collection of all and all elements, Sany Heavy Industry has deeply explored the value of data, continuously improved the level of operational refinement, completed the digital intelligence of the whole process of business operation, and realized the transformation from "human governance" to "digital governance".

From energy efficiency management and supply chain collaboration to marketing customer acquisition and customer service, digital intelligence applications run through the entire operation link of Sany Heavy Industry, significantly reducing costs and increasing efficiency, and promoting overall operational efficiency to a new level. Taking energy efficiency management as an example, at present, the industrial Internet (IIoT) platform independently developed by Sany Heavy Industry has realized real-time online access of 19,000 devices, 33,000 meters and 61,000 cameras. According to the data, from 2022 to 2024, Sany Heavy Industry has saved about 200 million yuan in energy costs through energy conservation and consumption reduction projects.

This data-based refined operation capability not only reduces costs and increases efficiency, but also builds a green and sustainable development model that conforms to the connotation of new quality productivity, clearly showing the core characteristics of future industries.

From "traditional industry" to "future industry", Sany Heavy Industry is moving towards a smarter, greener and more efficient era with solid steps, which not only provides a benchmark paradigm for the construction machinery industry and even the entire real economy to cultivate and expand new quality productivity, but also injects strong momentum into the high-quality development of China's manufacturing industry with innovative practices.
