On November 27, according to Caishishe (Reporter Guo Songqiao), as the world's first national exhibition with the theme of the supply chain, the 2nd China International Supply Chain Promotion Expo will be held in Beijing from November 26 to 30.

Caishishe reporters noted that this year's Chain Expo set up six major chains - Advanced Manufacturing Chain, Clean Energy Chain, Smart Automobile Chain, Digital Technology Chain, Healthy Living Chain, and Green Agriculture Chain - and a supply chain service exhibition area. Stepping into the exhibition site, a large number of new technologies, new products, and application scenarios cases are overwhelming, showcasing key aspects of the upstream, midstream, and downstream of each chain.

Zhongguo Maocuhui's Chairman Ren Hongbin introduced at the opening that compared to the first Chain Expo, this year's event has a higher level of internationalization with over 620 companies, institutions, and international organizations participating, a 20% increase from the first session. Representing 69 countries, regions, and international organizations, including 78 Fortune Global 500 companies, 86 Chinese Fortune 500 companies, the proportion of overseas exhibitors has increased from 26% in the first session to 32%. It is expected that professionals from over 100 countries in government, business, and academia will attend the exhibition.

Tesla humanoid robots attract attention, AI becomes the brain of the distribution cabinet

At the Chain Expo, Tesla's booth showcases essential components of electric vehicles such as electric drive, battery, heat pump systems, door limiters, as well as Model 3, Model Y, and humanoid robots.

As one of the smallest exhibits at Tesla's booth, the Doorhook is a result of Tesla and local supply chain partners' joint exploration in the safety field. Its purpose is to prevent excessive deformation misalignment between the vehicle door and the body in the event of a collision, ensuring that the door can be opened after a collision to ensure passenger safety.

Currently, Tesla's Shanghai Gigafactory averages about one complete vehicle offline every 30 seconds, with a localization rate of over 95% for components. Over 400 local tier-one suppliers have been contracted in China, with over 60 suppliers entering Tesla's global supply chain system. According to statistics, in the first three quarters of this year, Tesla's Shanghai Gigafactory delivered 676,000 new vehicles, accounting for more than half of Tesla's global deliveries in the first three quarters. In October of this year, the 3 millionth complete vehicle was produced at Tesla's Shanghai Gigafactory, with one third exported to Europe and the Asia-Pacific market.

In the clean energy supply chain exhibition area, leading enterprise in the intelligent electricity sector, Shenglong Electric, held a new product launch event unveiling the world's first artificial intelligence mid-to-low voltage brand cabinet AI-iPanel, and the world's first metaverse digital twin smart building management system iDrip 5.0, showcasing the latest technological achievements and cutting-edge technology in the distribution field.

"401, how's the equipment running?" "Currently, overall operation is basically normal, transformer load rate is 65%, one thing to note is the current unbalance in the three-phase load current of switch 401..." On-site, staff demonstrated human-machine dialogue, where the AI-iPanel not only quickly reports abnormalities but also provides adjustment suggestions.

An employee of Shenglong Electric explained to a reporter from Caixin that this artificial intelligence distribution cabinet can not only speak but more importantly can think autonomously and self-manage. For instance, when it detects a high transformer load rate, the AI can automatically optimize load distribution. When an electrician needs to troubleshoot a fault when closing the circuit breaker, which can be time-consuming and laborious, the AI can quickly identify and troubleshoot the fault, significantly reducing operation costs and improving operational efficiency.

"AI-iPanel transforms electrical operation from an imperceptible 'black box' state to digital and transparent." Hu Jia, R&D engineer at Shenglong Electric's subsidiary Guanggu Electrical, explained that the new generation AI products of Shenglong Electric deeply integrate AI technology with electrical technology. Through key technologies such as natural language interaction and intelligence integration, fault diagnosis and handling models, load prediction, and optimization algorithms, it further enhances electricity efficiency and safety.

Short transportation 'chain master', collaborating for supply chain development

Reporters from Caixin saw a crowd in front of the booth of Company Nine. The booth showcased products such as the Company Nine Drone Delivery Robot, Company Nine BaoBao Meal Delivery Robot, Navimow Intelligent Lawn Mower Robot, as well as the Segway Electric Skateboard ZT3 Pro, Company Nine Balancing Vehicle L8, Company Nine Electric Mechanic MMax2, attracting the attention of on-site spectators.

Reporters learned that these showcased products are actually a microcosm of Company Nine's business layout. Company Nine focuses on innovation in short transportation and service robot fields, aiming to advance the industry's technological level and provide intelligent mobile solutions for global users.

Electric car can be fully charged in less than 10 minutes, thanks to the revolutionary fast charging technology.

At the Chain Expo, Bettri officially launched its meticulously developed T graphite negative electrode - a synthetic graphite product that combines 6C fast charging with outstanding high and low temperature performance.

Reporters from CaiLian News learned that Bettri's newly released T graphite fast charging product, with its ultra-high 6C charging rate, shortens the charging time of electric vehicles to less than 10 minutes, greatly improving charging efficiency. At the same time, under extreme temperature conditions, the performance of T graphite remains stable, and the discharge performance in low temperature environments can be increased by 25% compared to 4C fast charging graphite. Bettri's T graphite also has a lower expansion rate, and the cycle life in high-temperature environments can be simultaneously improved, ensuring the stability and reliability of the battery under various climatic conditions.
