08 Dec 2025 CW Team

At the core of this recognition is Zoomlion’s breakthrough in addressing one of the industry’s toughest challenges: producing low-volume, multi-model heavy machinery on a unified mixed-flow line. At its Smart Industrial City, the company established a shared smart excavator facility that achieved three global firsts. Zoomlion became the first to deploy full-process intelligent manufacturing across six essential stages, operate a mixed-flow line covering more than 100 models, and achieve coordinated production across multiple machinery categories.

The shared model is built on modularity and scalability, connecting a vast network of processes across equipment families. Three shared manufacturing hubs enable end-to-end interoperability, pushing steel plate utilisation beyond 90 percent and lowering construction costs by 15 percent. Automated logistics, replacing traditional storage with real-time movement, has reduced inventory by 70 percent while ensuring accurate and timely distribution. Linked with a flexible supply chain and cross-regional R&D system, the framework delivers an integrated ecosystem that strengthens operational efficiency and accelerates digital transformation.

AI and data integration power the company’s excavator smart factory, where automation covers over 80 percent of production. The facility achieves zero changeover time, completes the full production cycle in 6.5 days, and rolls out an excavator every six minutes, marking the shortest takt time in the sector.

Zoomlion has now extended this intelligent manufacturing model to more than 20 factories worldwide and is applying it to sectors such as agricultural machinery, energy systems, and emergency equipment. The company plans to advance AI and robotics integration further and expand global collaboration to promote smart manufacturing across industries.
