Why did Sany become a "smart company"?

On July 29, MIT Technology Review announced the annual "50 Smart Companies (TR50)", which provides insight into the future trend of science and technology.

"High-tech innovation" and "successful business model" are the two golden rules of "smart company" selection, but in the eyes of many people, Sany may not be a "technology company" that is traditionally defined.

In fact, since its establishment, Sany has always taken R&D and innovation as the first driving force for career development, investing about 5% of its sales revenue in R&D every year, and R&D investment in 2021 will exceed 6%, repeatedly breaking the monopoly of foreign technology, leading China's construction machinery industry to stand on top of the world again and again, and accumulating profound scientific and technological innovation achievements.

In recent years, Sany Heavy Industry has seized the opportunity to implement the "three major strategies", among which the two strategies of digital intelligence and electrification are essentially the innovative practice of integrating emerging technologies such as the Internet, Internet of Things, big data, artificial intelligence, and new energy with the real economy, and successfully breaking and broadening the business boundaries of the construction machinery industry.

How to develop and use technology intelligently, understand market and business opportunities intelligently, and how to become a "smart company" are all traceable in the implementation of Sany Heavy Industry's two major strategies of digital intelligence and electrification.

Boldly promote digital intelligence

As early as March 13, 2018, at the "representative channel" of the first session of the 13th National People's Congress, Liang Wengen, chairman of Sany Group, responded to reporters' questions, and made it clear that "Sany's digital transformation will either turn over or overturn".

With such determination, a butterfly change of digital transformation began in Sany Heavy Industry.

Sany strategically invested in TreeRoot Interconnection, and relied on the industrial Internet operating system of Tree Root Interconnection to practice the reconstruction and upgrading of all elements, the whole value chain and the whole industrial chain, covering data-driven intelligent products, intelligent services, intelligent operations and other scenarios.

Among them, in terms of intelligent products, Sany has built the world's first 5G remote-controlled excavator, unmanned crane, unmanned road roller and unmanned mixer truck; In terms of intelligent operation, Sany has realized Internet marketing, intelligent supply chain, and intelligent design; In terms of intelligent services, Sany has extended its services to customer terminal markets around the world through data analysis of the working conditions and other status of more than 700,000 massive equipment, and continues to create greater value.

At the same time, through in-depth excavation and analysis of big data, Sany Heavy Industry has also created the industry's famous "Excavator Index" based on the tree root interconnection industrial Internet operating system, which provides a basis for judging China's macroeconomic development trend while realizing intelligent services, and has been put on the premier's economic symposium many times. At present, Sany Heavy Industry submits data to relevant national agencies every half month.

In the construction of intelligent manufacturing "lighthouse factory", there is no precedent for everything, everything can only cross the river by feeling the stones, and Sany joint tree root interconnection will make the impossible possible, and the black, dirty, chaotic and poor traditional heavy industry manufacturing plant has become an automated, less manpowered, unmanned and intelligent "lighthouse factory".

2In September 021, the first certified lighthouse factory in the global heavy industry industry was located in Sany Heavy Industry Beijing Pile Driver Factory, representing the highest level of intelligent manufacturing and digitalization in the global manufacturing industry today.

Today, Sany Heavy Industry has entered the "deep water area" of unmanned pilotage, and has also upgraded the "digital" strategy to the "digital intelligence" strategy, injecting new momentum into further accelerating the transformation.

Let's go ahead with electrification

"1 billion" is the key word of MIT Technology Review's interpretation of Sany Heavy Work as a "smart company", referring to the sales volume of Sany Heavy Industry's electrified engineering vehicle products in 2021 exceeded 1,000 units, with sales of nearly 1 billion yuan, and its market share ranked first in the industry.

It was this year that Sany Heavy Industry elevated electrification to the company's strategic height.

In fact, as early as 2010 at the Shanghai Bauma Exhibition, Sany showed a 7.5-ton pure electric micro-excavation, and in 2013, it launched a 75-ton electric againTruck cranesThe concept product STC75EV has precipitated rich experience in electric research and development.

In the face of the challenges and opportunities brought about by the third energy revolution and the "dual carbon" goal, it is the "smart" choice of Sany Heavy Industry to promote electrification.

This year, Sany Heavy Industry Co., Ltd. developed 24 electrification technology projects, including the development of all-in-one integrated controller for electric excavators, electric drive control strategy, and power battery technology, aiming at the layout of five major directions, including battery cells, electric drive axle technology, VCU centralized control platform, charging and swapping station, fuel cell system and control technology, providing strong technical support for leading the new track of electrification.

The blowout of R&D results will inevitably bring about the blowout of new products. In 2021, Sany Heavy Industry intensively launched 20 electrified products, including the world's first 38-ton mass-produced electric large digging and the first SY215 electric medium digging product, becoming the first company in the global industry to cover the whole line of electric small excavation, electric medium excavation and electric large excavation.

What happens when "high-tech innovation" and "successful business model" intermingle?

In 2021, Sany electric mixer truck and electric crane sales achieved a major breakthrough and won the annual sales championship, and in the first half of 2022, Sany electric mixer truck ranked first in the industry with a sales volume of 390 units and a market share of 58.47%.

Boldly promoting digital intelligence and letting go of electrification is the answer for Sany to stand out from thousands of technology companies around the world and become one of the "50 smart companies", and it is also Sany's answer to guide the future.

Today, with the hard power of emerging technologies such as digital intelligence and electrification and the soft power of successful business models, Sany Heavy Industry has been recognized as the strongest by MIT TR50 as a technology company, and in the future, the "three threes" strategic goal of 300 billion sales, 3,000 workers and 30,000 engineers, as well as more possibilities, everything can be expected!
