Construction machinery is a vital part of urbanization development and transportation infrastructure construction. Since the beginning of the new century, my country's construction machinery industry has developed rapidly, the scale of the industry has increased rapidly, and the international competitiveness has been increasing. In 2020, although the beginning of the year was affected by the epidemic, with the advancement of domestic resumption of work and production and the recovery of economy and life, the construction machinery industry still achieved good market performance.
According to data released by the China Construction Machinery Industry Association, the 25 mainframe manufacturers included in the statistics in August 2020 sold a total of 20,939 excavators of various types, a year-on-year increase of 51.3%. Among them, the domestic market sold 18,076 units, a year-on-year increase of 56.3%; export sales were 2,863 units, a year-on-year increase of 25.7%. In addition, data shows that in September 2020, my country's heavy truck market is expected to sell 136,000 vehicles of various types, an increase of 5% month-on-month and 63% year-on-year.
In addition to excavators and heavy trucks, the main products of my country's construction machinery industry also include concrete machinery, construction crane machinery, road rollers, loaders, etc. The above data is only part of the data. It can be seen that the overall sales of the construction machinery industry are very good. This is mainly due to the intensive processing of major projects across the country. It is reported that the total investment in projects in Jiangsu, Anhui, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Henan, Hunan, Sichuan, Shaanxi, Chongqing and Guizhou in September exceeded 100 billion yuan.
The construction machinery industry is thriving, and the market prospects are more expected. However, we must pay attention to the rapid development of a new generation of information technology. As an important part of the traditional manufacturing industry, the construction machinery industry also urgently needs to transform to digital, networked, and intelligent, and actively integrate the latest information and communication technology applications. Lay the foundation to meet the broader needs of the market.
Since 2019, 5G network development has accelerated, and its supporting role in the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries has become more prominent. Nowadays, the integration and development of 5G technology and construction machinery has formed a positive momentum. The advantages of 5G's low latency, large bandwidth, and wide connection make the automatic driving and remote driving of construction machinery a reality, so as to make the operation more precise and minimize The communication between people and equipment is delayed, improving work efficiency and safety.
Industry experts believe that the application of 5G, artificial intelligence and other technologies in the construction machinery industry will provide new opportunities for domestic related enterprises, accelerate the development of intelligent construction machinery, and enhance the core competitiveness of enterprises. At present, many construction machinery companies are increasing their efforts to deploy "5G + construction machinery" and explore the integrated application of 5G in the field of construction machinery.
For example, at the 2019 Mobile World Congress, the first 5G remote control excavator jointly built by Sany, Huawei, and Yuexin Intelligent was officially unveiled and announced to be put into use. In the same year, Guangxi Liugong Group Co., Ltd. revealed that China Mobile and China Unicom have already 5G workstations have been established in the company's R&D center.
Construction machinery companies are increasingly trying to apply 5G technology to the equipment R&D and commercialization market, which means that the era of intelligent construction machinery will accelerate. As the application of "5G+construction machinery" is gradually on the right track, it is believed that the development and promotion of intelligent construction machinery products will achieve more remarkable results.
All in all, the in-depth integration of 5G and the construction machinery industry will develop new business models, provide a key driving force for the transformation of the construction machinery market, and help domestic construction machinery companies to better go international and continue to consolidate their core competitiveness. Therefore, whoever occupies the commanding heights of "5G + construction machinery" will have a greater voice and market advantage.
