On August 2nd, the CCTV Finance Channel's "Economic Half Hour" broadcasted a report titled "Focusing on Innovation Consortium:" Chain Owners Lead Chain Clusters ". Taking enterprises such as Zoomlion Heavy Industry Science and Technology as examples, the report focuses on the series of innovative development achievements achieved by Hunan through the establishment of innovation consortia, guided by market demand, and fully leveraging the dominant position of enterprises in scientific and technological innovation.
CCTV Finance Channel's "Economic Half Hour" focuses on Zoomlion Heavy Industry Science and Technology Co., Ltd
The "Innovation Consortium" not only gathers top enterprises and research institutions in the industry, but also attracts the active participation of numerous small and medium-sized enterprises, forming a strong innovation force. In 2023, Hunan Province has identified 13 pilot enterprises for the construction of "innovation consortia", among which the "Engineering Machinery Intelligent Construction Innovation Consortium" is led by Zoomlion Heavy Industry Science and Technology Co., Ltd., and carries out research and development work guided by major engineering needs such as large-scale nuclear power plants, smart mines, large bridges, and prefabricated buildings.
As the leading unit of the innovation consortium, Zoomlion is mainly responsible for overall solutions. The "Lidar Global Active Collision Warning System" tailored for the client China Nuclear Industry Second Construction Co., Ltd. By installing lidar equipment and intelligent algorithms on the tower crane, it enables the tower crane to achieve the function of "observing from all directions and providing voice reminders" on its own. At present, the system is mainly used on tower cranes at nuclear power plant construction sites, which can provide voice reminders to operators during the construction process, avoid obstacles around the boom, and prevent tower crane collisions and safety accidents.
Previously, China Nuclear Industry Second Construction Co., Ltd. and Liaoning Xudabao Nuclear Power Project Department sent a thank-you letter, expressing high recognition and praise for the practical application achievements of the Zoomlion team in the Xudabao Nuclear Power Project, such as the "Lidar Global Active Collision Warning System" and other smart construction site related technologies, as well as the spirit and professional ability demonstrated by team members.

The report also focuses on the leading and driving role of the "chain owner" enterprises in the innovation consortium towards upstream supplier enterprises. Before jointly forming the "Innovation Consortium", a company mainly producing various pressure sensors would develop products and then search for markets, often struggling to find suitable customers. Now, after forming the "Innovation Consortium" with Zoomlion Heavy Industry Science and Technology Co., Ltd., products developed on demand through collaborative innovation are directly targeted at customers. The high-precision pressure sensor developed through joint research and development has excellent micro motion performance when used in excavators.
It is understood that as a leading enterprise in the equipment manufacturing industry, Zoomlion has thousands of upstream supplier companies involved. Nowadays, Zoomlion is continuing to leverage its dominant position in technological innovation, guided by market demand, and continuously stimulating the innovation vitality of upstream and downstream enterprises in the entire industry chain through its own driving role, leading the rapid development of the industry.
