On November 10, the 8th China International Import Expo came to a close. As China's first major home-ground economic diplomacy event held after the successful convening of the Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee, this year's CIIE brought together 155 countries, regions and international organizations, with more than 4,100 overseas enterprises exhibiting, setting a new record for exhibition scale.

At the 8th Hongqiao International Economic Forum held concurrently, XCMG was invited to attend and share its practices and reflections on Chinese enterprises' deep participation in global cooperation and on leading industrial upgrading through scientific and technological innovation.

Intelligent manufacturing empowers Chinese modernization

At the sub-forum of the 8th Hongqiao International Economic Forum themed "Intelligent Manufacturing Empowers Chinese Modernization — Global Intelligent Manufacturing 2030: Co-creating the Future," Sun Jianzhong, Vice President of XCMG Machinery, shared vivid examples of XCMG's cutting-edge practices in intelligent manufacturing.

In the era of global mass customization, the construction machinery industry is undergoing profound changes in its modes of production organization. Through generative R&D, intelligent operations and digital twin factory construction, XCMG has built a business system driven by artificial intelligence technologies. "Intelligent manufacturing has changed not only factories but also management logic. The manufacturing industry of the future is an industry driven by data and algorithms," said Sun Jianzhong.

Enhancing the resilience of global industrial and supply chains

At the sub-forum of the 8th Hongqiao International Economic Forum themed "Open Cooperation among Enterprises to Enhance the Resilience of Global Industrial and Supply Chains," Jiang Mingzhong, Vice President of XCMG Machinery, shared XCMG's approach to "cracking the problem" of enhancing supply chain resilience.

Against the backdrop of global industrial chain restructuring, the value carriers of Chinese enterprises going global are undergoing fundamental evolution. XCMG Group has offered a new solution for the manufacturing sector: "resilience" is not only about layout, but also about upgrading technology and thinking.

Jiang Mingzhong stated that Chinese enterprises going global are shifting from "scale advantages" to "value advantages." What customers need is no longer a single piece of equipment, but high-end, intelligent, green and systematic solutions covering the entire life cycle. Therefore, we must leap from "engineer thinking" to "architect thinking" in terms of high-end development, shift from "single technological breakthroughs" to "full industrial chain solutions" in terms of green development, and make the leap from "standalone machine intelligence" to "cluster intelligence" in terms of intelligent development, ultimately driving products toward high-end reliability, green energy efficiency and intelligent control, and contributing more efficient, greener and smarter Chinese solutions to the world.
