CCTV three in a row! See Trinity from the World Cup!

The 2022 Qatar World Cup has attracted the attention of audiences from all over the world, and the Chinese elements in the World Cup are also like stars illuminating Qatar. On December 14, three episodes of CCTV's financial channel's "First Time" column were released in a row, watching China's construction machinery enterprises represented by Sany swept the World Cup, and in-depth exploration of the charm of China's intelligent manufacturing.

China's construction machinery helps the construction of 8 major venues for the World Cup

In TrinityTruck cranesIn the assembly workshop, a number of cranes have been assembled, and after commissioning, they will be sent overseas. In this year's Qatar World Cup, Sany dispatched a total of 36 cranes to participate in the construction of all 8 World Cup venues.

Ren Liyou, president of Sany Heavy Lifting Truck Crane Research Institute, said that such cranes are very popular in the Qatari market, with a market share of 50%.

In anticipation of the World Cup, Qatar has built or renovated eight stadiums. The local summer temperature is high, and there are often sandstorms, which brings great difficulties to the construction of the venue.

Ren Liyou said: "To this end, we have made adaptable improvements to the equipment after many intensive investigations and repeated tests, ensured the performance and stability of the product, and carried out a special improvement design for the power system, air conditioning system and hydraulic system." ”

"For example, in the hydraulic system, we use a high-pressure piston pump system to reduce heat generation, and the heat dissipation system is designed with full power to ensure that our system can still maintain optimal working conditions at an ambient temperature of 50 degrees."

In the field of infrastructure construction of Qatar World Cup venues, from the stadium to the water supply network to the power guarantee, China Construction has participated in it. In addition to cranes, Sany also has large excavators, pump trucks, mixer trucks and other types of equipment involved in the construction of the World Cup venues.

Overseas markets continue to improve

Excavator exports hit a new high

China's construction machinery to help the construction of World Cup venues is only a microcosm of the development of China's construction machinery industry. In recent years, the gradual expansion of overseas markets has also confirmed that the innovation of China's construction machinery industry has been more recognized.

According to the data of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, China has formed 22 categories of construction machinery products, becoming one of the countries with the most complete product categories and varieties. Among them, the output of major products such as excavators, cranes, and loaders ranks first in the world. According to the statistics of 26 excavator manufacturers by the China Construction Machinery Industry Association, in the first 10 months of 2022, China exported 89,457 excavators, a year-on-year increase of 67.3%. In addition, in the first 10 months of this year, China's construction machinery exports amounted to 36.521 billion US dollars, a year-on-year increase of 34.2%.

Lv Ying, deputy secretary-general of China Construction Machinery Industry Association, said that in recent years, the increase in R&D investment of construction machinery enterprises, the efforts to internationalize the international market, the establishment and improvement of the marketing service system, etc., many of these aspects of work have improved our ability to enter the international market.

Focus on automation and intelligence

The construction machinery industry is accelerating its transformation

Enterprises increase R&D investment, mainly to intelligence and automation to benefit. Nowadays, many companies have also tasted the dividends brought by intelligent manufacturing.

Sany No. 18 plant is known as the smartest factory because of its high degree of intelligence. Here, each pump truck has an exclusive ID card from the beginning of the raw material, which can realize the whole process of intelligent production of a steel plate into and out of a pump truck, and the AGV trolley in the plant shuttles flexibly to realize the automatic transportation of materials.

Liu Xiangju, director of the Intelligent Manufacturing Technology Institute of Sany Heavy Industry, said that the production efficiency has increased by 123% and the personnel efficiency has increased by 98%. At present, 150 manipulators are equipped in the plant, which realizes robots to replace manual operations, and the production cycle is greatly compressed.

The reporter visited a number of construction machinery enterprises and found that the current construction machinery industry is accelerating the transformation to automation, digitalization and intelligence. Industry insiders said that there is still a lot of room for exploration in the future.
