Zoomlion from China is spearheading efforts to safeguard the summer harvest, as China’s “Three Summer” jobs – summer harvesting, planting, and field management – are now in full swing. New intelligent technology and a 24/7 service network are helpful.

In the Changzhuang Town of Suiping County, Zhumadian City, Henan Province, Zoomlion’s grain combine harvesters are the “vanguards” of harvesting.

Zhang Xiaobo, a combine harvester driver in Suiping, is operating a Zoomlion TE100-DH this summer, the first hybrid power harvester in China. “The harvester is powered by an electric motor, offering fast response times and simplified gear shifting. It can adjust power output intelligently to keep the engine running at optimal conditions, resulting in fuel savings of 30% compared to traditional models,” said Zhang Xiaobo. “The TE100-DH not only has very low failure rate, Zoomlion’s after-safes team can also respond 24 hours a day to guarantee the harvesting.”

As the agricultural industry continues to evolve, Zoomlion’s intelligent technologies are progressing. By leveraging the BeiDou positioning system alongside AI-driven path planning, automatic obstacle avoidance, and remote instruction capabilities, Zoomlion’s unmanned harvesting machines have achieved precision and efficiency, leading to significantly increased harvest yields.

Moreover, Zoomlion has transformed its service offerings by implementing comprehensive digital and intelligent strategies. The company has innovated its service system to boost operational efficiency by establishing an intelligent control center, four service columns, and four support centers. Additionally, it has expanded its network with 107 new standard agricultural machinery service stations to ensure complete coverage and formed a large-scale service team of 2,200 professionals dedicated to providing quick responses, on-site assistance, and immediate troubleshooting.

“We have successfully completed the construction of our integrated warehousing system, which includes a central factory, provincial airports, city-level centers, dealers, mobile spare parts support vehicles, and direct service spare parts packages. Through the ZBP service spare parts system, WMS warehouse management system, and TMS logistics visualization system, we have fully achieved digital processing, intelligent resource coordination, and enhanced customer service visibility. This has significantly improved the speed and timeliness of our service spare parts supply,” Huo Xiaofeng, Co-General Manager of Zoomlion Agriculture Machinery Co., Ltd. concludes.
