Industry News | CCTV's Triple Report on AI Farming New Gameplay, Shandong Heavy Industry's Smart Agriculture is Cool!

In 2025, the No. 1 central document first proposed to develop new agricultural productivity, emphasized supporting the development of smart agriculture, and expanded the application scenarios of artificial intelligence and other technologies. In the spring ploughing season, the CCTV News, News Studio, Focus Interview and other columns of CCTV news channel continued to focus on the breakthrough of Weichai Lovol smart agriculture, which is affiliated to Shandong Heavy Industry, to develop new quality productivity according to local conditions, so that farmers have smart farms, and AI managers' "ingenious" precise output of field management plans, so that scientific farming can be realized from dreams.


The transition from "selling agricultural machinery" to "selling solutions"

Planting farmer Tang Yaning is a customer of Weichai Lovol Smart Farm Management System. Last autumn, he sowed winter wheat according to the recommended time of the smart farm. Compared with traditional human predicted plots, AI classified wheat fields into one, two, and three types of seedlings through remote sensing and managed them accurately and scientifically, resulting in stronger wheat growth.

Currently, Weichai Lovol Smart Agriculture is actively promoting the transformation from selling agricultural machinery to selling comprehensive smart agriculture solutions. The accumulated farmland area using Weichai Lovol Smart Farm Management System has exceeded 7 million mu, and nearly 30000 farmers have used smart farm solutions.

AI big model accurately outputs field management solutions, achieving "smart" farming

During the spring management period, everyone used to follow the traditional method of applying fertilizer early for weak seedlings and late for strong seedlings, but the AI big model will accurately capture the seedling status to determine the amount of fertilizer applied. Compared with traditional fertilization, using AI models can reduce fertilizer usage by about 10% and increase fertilizer utilization efficiency by 10% to 20%.

At Weichai Lovol Smart Agriculture, the research and production of agricultural machinery is no longer just a competition on clutch engines. Coordinating with smart farms to perform field operations has become one of the key focuses of agricultural machinery production. The technician explained, "In fact, agricultural machinery has become a mobile intelligent terminal equipped with various sensors. During the operation process, various operation information will be collected, and the data will be integrated into the model to make agricultural machinery operations more accurate

From knowing how to farm to being "smart" in farming, Weichai Lovol leads the development of agricultural innovation ecology

Empowered by Weichai Lovol Technology, it has not only changed traditional agricultural farming methods, but also had an impact on talent and various links in the agricultural industry chain. The customer profile of smart farms is mostly young plantation owners who have invested in the agricultural field, bringing new ideas and profoundly changing agricultural production methods.
