After the conference, guests toured LGMG’s showroom and digital factory to experience its intelligent manufacturing facilities up close. From robotic arms performing precise welding, to AGVs moving components smoothly along tracks, to real-time production data displayed on the central control screen, the efficiency and sophistication of its smart production lines was demonstrated.
In the product experience zone, LGMG’s full range of forklift products, integrated smart mining solutions, and new lift models were showcased, with experts providing detailed explanations of the technologies behind each product.
Breakthroughs in intelligent technology
That evening, the unveiling of the Autonomous Driving Test Base and an equipment performance show brought the event to a climax. Driverless mining trucks, telehandlers, forklifts, and other machines performed under dazzling lights, demonstrating both power and agility.
The launch of the super-charging autonomous mining truck highlighted LGMG’s latest breakthroughs in intelligent technology and energy diversification, marking another important step forward in smart engineering solutions.
Relying on multiple core technologies in areas such as energy diversification and intelligent control, LGMG has provided solid technical support for the unmanned testing base.
