A groundbreaking ceremony for the Shunda Laser Weeding Robot and High-Magnesium Alloy New Material Project was held in Jingjiang city, Jiangsu province, on Jan 11.
This marks the first major project in the city where artificial intelligence will be deeply integrated with various industries and fields of economic and social development.
With an investment of 1.01 billion yuan ($144.8 million), the project is invested and operated by Shunda Mould Technology in Jingjiang, which will build an industrial base integrating research and development, manufacturing, and sales.

It is expected to produce 1,000 sets of laser agricultural robots, 12 million sets of high-magnesium alloy parts, 4,000 sets of mulching rice transplanters, and 300 sets of large-scale die-casting molds a year.
High-magnesium alloy materials are independently developed by the company through high-pressure casting technology, achieving a 30 percent weight reduction and a marking a significant improvement in mechanical properties. These materials will be applied to emerging markets such as humanoid robots and new energy vehicles.
In the era of AI-empowered development, the company is seizing the opportunity to enter the intelligent agricultural machinery manufacturing sector.
