CCTV News Focuses on Smart Manufacturing — Nanjing Jingyao's Intelligent Inspection Robot Makes an Appearance

August 28, 2026

On the evening of August 19, CCTV News broadcast a special report titled "Service Industry Expansion and Quality Improvement Boosts the Global Competitiveness of Chinese Manufacturing," focusing on how digital and intelligent technologies are empowering the transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing industry, showcasing China's new practices in climbing the global value chain. The report featured Nanjing Jingyao Technology's independently developed train intelligent inspection robot and its R&D activities. This marks another appearance of Jingyao Technology in authoritative media following CCTV Finance Channel's earlier coverage of Chinese tech companies going global, and serves as a vivid example of domestic intelligent equipment enterprises participating in global industrial competition. As a national-level "Little Giant" enterprise rooted in Nanjing and nurtured by Jiangsu's advanced manufacturing ecosystem, Jingyao Technology has long focused on asset-heavy, maintenance-intensive industrial scenarios such as rail transit and energy & power. The company continuously drives the integration and innovation of artificial intelligence, machine vision, and robotic equipment, exploring new pathways for Chinese intelligent equipment to enter the global market.

 

 

01 AI-Empowered Intelligent Equipment: Driving Chinese Manufacturing Toward Higher Value

Artificial intelligence is rapidly being deployed on the front lines of industry, with intelligent equipment serving as a critical bridge between cutting-edge technology and the real economy, driving the manufacturing sector toward smarter, more efficient, and safer upgrades.

For scenarios such as rail transit and energy & power, complex operating environments, stringent safety requirements, and maintenance processes that heavily rely on human experience demand higher reliability, precision, and environmental adaptability from intelligent equipment.

 

 

How to truly bring AI into industrial sites and transform technological capabilities into industrial value has become a key direction for smart manufacturing development. AI with genuine industrial vitality requires not only technological innovation but also long-term deployment, repeated validation, and continuous iteration in real industrial scenarios.

 

02 Deep Cultivation of Rail Transit Intelligent O&M: Driving Intelligent Robots into Industrial Scenarios

As a national-level "Little Giant" enterprise, Jingyao Technology has been deeply engaged in the field of rail transit and energy & power intelligent O&M for over a decade. Focusing on key processes such as inspection, detection, and maintenance, the company continuously promotes the deep integration of robotics technology with industrial applications.

Leveraging core technologies including high-precision 3D machine vision, AI multimodal perception, SLAM autonomous navigation, and force-position hybrid control, Jingyao has developed a systematic product portfolio including train intelligent inspection robots and advanced maintenance intelligent equipment.

 

 

Among these, the train intelligent inspection robot is designed for multiple types of rail transit equipment including EMUs, urban rail, and freight trains. Through machine vision, multimodal perception, and intelligent algorithms, it enables intelligent detection and condition analysis of critical vehicle components, helping improve rail transit O&M efficiency and safety assurance levels.

 

 

 

03 From Chinese Solutions to the World Stage

In recent years, Jingyao Technology has actively expanded into overseas markets, collaborating with industry partners to promote the application of intelligent inspection robot solutions in overseas rail transit scenarios.

 

 

Facing different operating environments, technical standards, and on-site requirements across various countries and regions, Jingyao continuously optimizes its product adaptability, serving global rail transit intelligent O&M needs with proprietary technology.

From products "going out" to solutions "integrating in," Jingyao Technology continues to validate the technical value of Chinese intelligent equipment in real overseas operating conditions.

 

04  From Rail Transit Scenarios to Industrial Intelligence

The deep penetration of AI into industry requires continuous validation in real application scenarios and collaborative innovation across the industrial chain. Rail transit, as a field with high safety requirements and high complexity, sets stringent demands for intelligent equipment while also providing high-value application scenarios for AI technology innovation. Starting from this core rail transit scenario, we are extending intelligent robot capabilities to more complex industrial intelligence scenarios.

In the future, Jingyao Technology will continue to focus on the integration and innovation of intelligent equipment and industrial scenarios, actively participating in industrial collaboration and ecosystem development. Together with property owners, industry partners, and universities and research institutes, we will explore new scenarios and new pathways. We will persist in refining technology through iteration at industrial sites, enabling Chinese intelligent equipment to unleash greater industrial value.
