CHANGSHA, China, Jan. 6, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

Zoomlion Heavy Industry Science & Technology Co., Ltd. (Zoomlion) has achieved

a major breakthrough in the intelligent manufacturing of large-tonnage

excavators as the first excavator rolled off the assembly line on December 31,

2020 in the first constructed Intelligent Excavator Manufacturing Park (the

"Park") in Zoomlion Smart Industrial City (the "City") in Changsha, Hunan Province.

The groundbreaking achievement heralds a new phase of the City's development,

as the project continues to complete its general construction while

manufacturing advanced and intelligent machinery products.

The 20-ton and 48-ton excavators coming off the new assembly line were

manufactured in an intelligent workshop with an area of 36,000 square meters

(387,500 square feet). Eschewing conventional forklifts, more than 100

intelligent transport robots deliver over 9,000 spare parts instantly across

the workshop, as well as other industrial robots to increase automation and

intelligent production.

"The Park was designed in accordance with the highest international standards,

fully implementing the concepts of intelligence, digitization and ecological

sustainability and has the most intelligent, flexible and precise intelligent factories

and unmanned production lines," noted Zhang Chunxin, chairman and CEO of Zoomlion.

The "invisible intelligence" is reflected in every link of the Park's

production, operation and management, through the convergence of intelligent

logistics and production scheduling, industrial AI, digital twinning,

industrial internet and big data technologies with the Park's management and

control system. The effort will realize digital and transparent manufacturing

and enable the intelligent factories to reduce R&D cycle, operation cost and

energy consumption while improving production efficiency significantly.

The Park will provide strong support for Zoomlion's excavator machinery sector

and upon full completion the industrial park – valued at CNY30 billion

($US45.87 billion) – will reach an annual manufacturing capacity of 50,000 of

all types of intelligent excavators, with one excavator rolling off the

assembly line every six minutes.
