From July 25 to 26, at the 2024 Power Construction Technology Development Conference and the first Power Intelligent New Construction Equipment Exhibition in Wuxi, Jiangsu, TYSIM released the first jointly developed "Cloud Drill" digital twins remote simulator - multi-functional intelligent cockpit. This innovative technology has become the focus of attention and marked a new era for power construction equipment to move toward intelligence, unmanned operation and high efficiency.

Technology Empowers New Productivity

  This conference was hosted by China Electric Power Construction Enterprises Association and aimed to thoroughly study and implement General Secretary Xi’s important remarks on scientific and technological innovation. Fully implement the spirit of the Third Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee and the National Science and Technology Conference to promote high-quality development of the power construction industry. The theme of the conference is "Focus on power technology, strengthen intelligent equipment and promote the development of quality productivity". It brought together more than 1,800 representatives from power construction companies, scientific research institutions, universities and other units from all over the country.

Core Technologies of Multifunctional Immersive Smart Cockpit

  The multi-functional immersive intelligent cockpit incorporates cutting-edge technologies such as digital twins, simulation and AI to achieve unmanned remote operation. Through real-time remote perception, global optimization decision-making and intelligent predictive control, the cockpit is able to conduct comprehensive data analysis and intelligent control of all stages of equipment operation. It improves the operation efficiency, safety protection and comprehensive support level of equipment in the complex environments.

  Real-time multi-dimensional digital twins and MR information enhancement: The smart cabin utilizes multi-sensor information fusion and digital twins ‘simulation technology to construct a digital space that is highly consistent with the real working environment and enhances information perception efficiency through MR information enhancement technology.

  Immersive experience and motion-sensing control: Immersive experience and motion-sensing control technologies provide operators with a highly engaging operational experience and make remote control more intuitive, natural, and efficient.

  AI-assisted decision-making: AI technology intelligently analyzes equipment status, operational load, and environmental conditions to provide decision support and anticipate potential risks, thereby enhancing operational efficiency and safety.

  Intelligent operation and maintenance: Based on dynamic monitoring data, build an AI model for health assessment to optimize maintenance plans and spare parts management. Improve the level of intelligent support and reduce operation and maintenance costs.

  Multi-mode operation: The smart module supports multiple modes such as real-time remote control, task simulation and virtual training to improve the flexibility and scalability of the system.

Market Prospects and Industry Impact

According to statistics, the total output value of China's construction machinery reached 917 billion in 2023, a year-on-year increase of 4.5%. However, traditional mechanical equipment still faces challenges such as frequent accidents, harsh operating environment, and high professional skills requirements. The rapid development of unmanned intelligent equipment has an annual growth rate of more than 15%. It is expected that the application scale will reach 100 billion in 2025, entering a golden period of development.
