On October 10, a senior reporter from Dazhong Daily visited Shandong Zhongmei Group for a special interview. The interview focused on in-depth coverage of the company's innovative applications of AI agents, achievements in digital transformation, intelligent production upgrades, and new models for the cross-border e-commerce export of construction machinery. Li Zhenbo, General Manager of Group Information Technology and General Manager of Zhongyun Group, Party Secretary Guan Chenghui, and Assistant General Manager of the Group Wang Man accompanied the visit and introduced the relevant information, systematically showcasing the company's practical achievements and distinctive highlights in leveraging AI agents to empower intelligent manufacturing and drive the transformation and upgrading of foreign trade.
During the interview, the journalists followed the company’s visitor route through five core exhibition areas and business units: the Group Culture Exhibition Hall, the Digital Products Exhibition Hall, the Intelligent Machinery Workshop, the Zhongmei AI Intelligent Center, and the Cross-Border E-Commerce Company. These visits gave them a comprehensive, firsthand view of Zhongmei Group’s development across the entire value chain—from intelligent product R&D and digital production to AI applications and cross-border trade—and enabled them to explore the company’s experience in high-quality digital and intelligent development.
The journalist focused on the innovative implementation and scenario-based application of China Coal’s AI agents in cross-border e-commerce, as well as the one-person company (OPC) operating model in which one person simultaneously controls seven AI agents. Independently developed by the China Coal Intelligent Research Institute, the agent is a vertically specialized AI agent for the industry. It is deeply aligned with the trade characteristics of the coal mining machinery and construction machinery sectors, enabling 24/7 uninterrupted multilingual inquiry responses, intelligent analysis of customer requirements, automatic matching of equipment solutions, intelligent generation of foreign trade documents, and precise answers to after-sales questions. This effectively addresses industry pain points in traditional foreign trade, including time-zone constraints, the complexity of multiple languages, and delayed responses, while leveraging AI agents to comprehensively enhance the quality and efficiency of cross-border business.
As a demonstration enterprise for the "Mass Entrepreneurship and Innovation" platform in the manufacturing sector recognized by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, a key cross-border e-commerce brand enterprise cultivated by Shandong Province, and an export brand enterprise of Shandong Province, Shandong China Coal Group has consistently made AI empowerment its core strategy, continuously increased investment in AI technology R&D, and focused on the niche cross-border e-commerce sectors of coal mining machinery and construction machinery. The Group has built a global matrix of AI intelligent agents, completely breaking away from the traditional single model of offline exhibitions and offline customer acquisition, and establishing a complete closed-loop overseas expansion model featuring "comprehensive customer acquisition through e-commerce platforms + full-chain empowerment through AI intelligence + quality assurance through intelligent workshops." Leveraging its advantages in digitalized and intelligent operations, the Group’s products are sold in 176 countries and regions worldwide, continuously expanding the international market share and brand influence of "China Coal Intelligent Manufacturing."
During the interview, a reporter from Dazhong Daily asked about the development and application of China Coal’s AI agents, challenges in cross-border e-commerce operations, the company’s experience in digital transformation, and its future overseas strategy. The questions were framed against the province’s efforts to transform and upgrade foreign trade and foster new quality productive forces.Li Zhenbo, the Group’s General Manager of Information Technology and General Manager of Zhongyun Group, answered each question and outlined the company’s development approach: "intelligent production, digital trade, and smart services." Addressing the challenges facing traditional construction machinery exporters, he described how the company has used a specialized e-commerce platform to reach more customers, developed its own China Coal AI agents to reshape foreign trade service processes, and built smart factories to strengthen product quality. He also discussed the company’s measures and results in developing digital foreign trade talent, improving cross-border services, and expanding into markets along the Belt and Road.
The journalist spoke highly of China Coal Group’s development strategy of focusing on its core industrial business, developing digital foreign trade, and innovating AI applications, noting that the company’s innovative model of deeply integrating intelligent manufacturing, vertical e-commerce, and artificial intelligence is highly representative and exemplary within the industry, providing a vivid model for the transformation and upgrading of Shandong’s equipment manufacturing enterprises and for stabilizing foreign trade and expanding markets.
This special feature by Dazhong Daily recognizes Shandong China Coal Group’s achievements in digitalization and intelligent development, while encouraging the company to keep innovating. Going forward, the Group will increase R&D investment in artificial intelligence, intelligent manufacturing, and cross-border digital trade. It will continue to upgrade its Zhongmei AI agent system and cross-border e-commerce platform, improve its intelligent production and manufacturing systems, strengthen its overseas market presence and supporting services, and deepen its focus on specialized segments of the global construction machinery market. Through new quality productive forces, the Group will drive high-quality growth and further raise the global profile of Shandong-made construction machinery.
