5g technology provides key driving force for the transformation of construction machinery market
pubdate:2021-03-17
In the development of urbanization and the construction of traffic infrastructure, construction machinery is a crucial part. Since the new century, the construction machinery industry in China has developed rapidly, the scale of the industry has been rapidly improved, and the international competitiveness has been increasing. In 2020, although affected by the epidemic at the beginning of the year, with the promotion of domestic resumption of work and resumption of production and the recovery of economy and life, the construction machinery industry has still achieved good market performance.
According to the data released by China Association of engineering machinery industry, the total sales of 20939 excavators by 25 main machine manufacturers included in statistics in August 2020, an increase of 51.3% year-on-year. Among them, the domestic market sales volume is 18076, up 56.3% year-on-year; the export sales volume is 2863, up 25.7% year-on-year. In addition, data show that in September 2020, China's heavy truck market is expected to sell 136000 models of various types, an increase of 5% on a month basis, an increase of 63% year-on-year.
Besides excavator and heavy truck, the main products of China's construction machinery industry include concrete machinery, engineering crane machinery, roller, loader, etc. The above is only a part of the data, we can see that the overall sales of the construction machinery industry is very good. This is mainly due to the intensive processing of major projects in various parts of China. It is reported that in September, the total investment in the construction of projects in Jiangsu, Anhui, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Henan, Hunan, Sichuan, Shaanxi, Chongqing and Guizhou provinces and cities exceeded 100 billion yuan.
The construction machinery industry is booming, and the market prospect is expected to be more. However, we must note that, as an important part of traditional manufacturing industry, the construction machinery industry needs to transform to digital, network and intelligent, actively integrate the latest information and communication technology applications, and lay a foundation for meeting the wider needs of the market.
Since 2019, 5g network development has been accelerating, which has played an increasingly important role in supporting the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries. Nowadays, 5g technology and construction machinery have formed a positive momentum. 5g advantages such as low delay, large bandwidth and wide connection make the automatic driving and remote driving of construction machinery become reality, so as to make the operation more accurate and minimize the communication delay between people and equipment, and improve the operation efficiency and safety.
Experts in the industry believe that the application of 5g and artificial intelligence 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 engineering machinery enterprises are increasing their efforts to layout 5g+ construction machinery and explore the integrated application of 5g in the field of construction machinery.
For example, at the world mobile communication conference in 2019, the first 5g remote control excavator jointly built by SANY, Huawei and yuesalai was officially unveiled and put into use; in the same year, Guangxi Liugong Group Co., Ltd. revealed that China Mobile and China Unicom had established 5g workstations in the R & D center of the company.
More and more engineering machinery enterprises try to apply 5g technology to equipment R & D and commercialization market, which means that the era of intelligent engineering machinery will accelerate. With the application of 5g+ construction machinery gradually on the right track, I believe that the research and development and promotion of intelligent engineering machinery products will achieve more remarkable results.
In a word, the deep integration of 5g and the construction machinery industry will develop a new business model, which will provide key driving force for the transformation of the construction machinery market, and help domestic construction machinery enterprises to better move to the international market and continue to consolidate the core competitiveness. Therefore, who first occupies the commanding point of 5g+ construction machinery will have greater discourse power and market advantage.
