Centered around the theme “Green Intelligence for a Better World,” the 8th XCMG International Customer Festival officially began on May 19 in Xuzhou, a major hub for China’s construction machinery industry, and will continue through May 22. The event has attracted more than 2,500 participants from over 100 countries and regions, creating a global stage for XCMG to strengthen collaboration across the entire value chain and showcase the capabilities of Chinese manufacturing worldwide.

This year’s Festival also marked the debut of the “XCMG Intelligence: New Tech, New Energy, New Future” forum focused on engineering and mining industries. Designed around globalization and intelligent innovation, the forum aims to encourage industry dialogue while contributing XCMG’s expertise to the sustainable growth of the engineering and mining equipment sectors.

Yang Dongsheng, chairman of XCMG Group and XCMG Machinery, emphasized the company’s commitment to openness, innovation, inclusiveness, responsibility and reliability, reaffirming XCMG’s long-term dedication to global expansion and partnership.

The opening ceremony on May 20 combined live machinery performances, holographic projections and large-scale digital displays to present eight themed application scenarios. Around 70 machines demonstrated technologies spanning intelligent earthmoving, green energy, smart mining and emergency response. Highlights included six next-generation cranes raising a 20-ton screen to a height of 40 meters, alongside the “World’s First Crane,” an 1,100-ton crawler crane, 39 aerial work platforms, eight port stackers and numerous AGVs operating in synchronized coordination for international guests.

During the ceremony, XCMG introduced “XCMG CONNECT,” a unified digital platform that combines equipment management, AI-powered service support and a global operational ecosystem. The system integrates machinery, services, spare parts and worldwide networks to provide customers with smart, full-lifecycle support across every stage of equipment use.

Reflecting the growing “AI+” movement, the Festival placed significant focus on unmanned machinery clusters and intelligent construction systems. Demonstrations featured a fully electric autonomous fleet handling excavation, transport, leveling and compaction tasks. Equipped with remote-control capability and L4 autonomous driving technology, the machines operate through XCMG’s proprietary coordination platform, enabling one-click management and intelligent dispatch across mining operations.

Throughout the event, nearly 500 machines have been deployed across immersive green construction demonstrations and 10 parallel exhibition zones. Dedicated aftermarket areas provide tailored solutions for mining, road construction, lifting, earthmoving and emergency rescue applications, while also offering integrated services such as spare parts, used equipment support, leasing and financing solutions.

The Festival also highlights XCMG’s expanding portfolio of environmentally friendly machinery, including hybrid cranes, electric mining equipment, excavators, loaders, road machinery and concrete equipment. The showcased technologies cover pure electric, grid-powered electric and hybrid-drive systems.

All autonomous construction clusters are powered by new-energy solutions and supported by integrated “source-grid-load-storage” systems along with advanced energy components. From power generation and storage to charging infrastructure, motors, control systems and battery packs, the company is presenting its complete new-energy industrial chain.

As a globally recognized exchange platform within the construction machinery sector, the Festival not only demonstrates XCMG’s advancements in green and intelligent technology but also underlines the growing influence of Chinese manufacturing in shaping worldwide industrial transformation.

Yang added that XCMG remains focused on building lasting partnerships and creating a mutually beneficial industrial ecosystem with customers around the world.

Infosys, a leading provider of advanced digital services and consulting, has announced an expanded partnership with the University of Nottingham—ranked among the top 100 universities globally in the QS World University Rankings 2026, with campuses across the UK, Malaysia, and China. The renewed collaboration aims to enhance the performance, security, and compliance of the university’s essential Student Management System.

Since beginning their partnership in 2017, Infosys has played a key role in transforming the university’s Student Information System. This transformation streamlined application workflows and strengthened compliance reporting, leading to a 70% drop in incidents, around a 30% improvement in system performance and availability, more than 35% reduction in infrastructure costs, and a significantly better user experience.

Under the extended agreement, Infosys will continue to support and maintain NottinghamHub, the university’s Student Information System, while improving core processes throughout the student lifecycle. The initiative will also include infrastructure modernisation to boost system uptime and reinforce web security through Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA).

To drive these advancements, Infosys will utilise its proprietary platforms, including Infosys Cobalt for accelerating cloud adoption and Infosys Topaz Fabric—an AI-driven, multi-layered ecosystem designed to integrate infrastructure, data, applications, and workflows. These technologies will help streamline operations, unify systems, and enable data-led decision-making, supporting a digital-first environment for over 46,000 students and 12,000 staff worldwide.

Chris Hunt, Chief Operating Officer at the University of Nottingham, stated that the strengthened partnership with Infosys will enhance the reliability, security, and innovation of the university’s digital ecosystem. He emphasised the importance of the Student Management System in supporting the entire student journey and noted that the collaboration will help elevate academic and operational standards.

Jo Simpson, Chief Revenue Officer at the University of Nottingham, highlighted that the extended partnership will not only improve digital infrastructure but also create more impactful learning experiences. She noted that the collaboration aligns Infosys’ industry expertise with the university’s applied learning programmes, offering students valuable exposure to real-world skills in engineering and digital technology.

Ashiss Kumar Dash, EVP and Global Head of Services at Infosys, expressed enthusiasm about strengthening the partnership. He noted that as universities face increasing complexity across global campuses and rising expectations from digitally native students, innovation is essential. He added that the collaboration, powered by Infosys Cobalt and Topaz Fabric, will help the University of Nottingham set new standards in leveraging technology to succeed in a rapidly evolving educational landscape.
