Rolling waves of wheat welcome a bountiful scene, as rumbling machines fill the granaries with grain. On May 12, the 2025 Shandong Heavy Industry Weichai Lovol Smart Agriculture Sanxia (summer harvest) Service Departure Ceremony was grandly held in Weifang.

Zhang Hongpu, Member of the Party Group and Deputy Director of the Shandong Provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs; Yang Shengyan, Member of the Standing Committee of the Weifang Municipal Party Committee and Vice Mayor; Ye Jianjun, Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee and Director of Shandong Heavy Industry Group; and Ma Changhai, Member of the Party Committee and Deputy General Manager of Shandong Heavy Industry Group, attended the ceremony. Lovol service support forces and representatives of cross-regional operators gathered at the venue to sound the call to action together.

Digital and Intelligent Departure: The "Thirty-Character Army" Gains an "AI" Commander

To comprehensively ensure the smooth progress of Sanxia production, Weichai Lovol Smart Agriculture continues to strengthen investment in service resources. Supported by the "three vertical and one horizontal" service network, it has added 17 frontline wheat harvest command centers and 230 management grids across the country, weaving a dense service network covering the whole nation. The service team is equipped with hundreds of technical experts and service engineers, and a team of technical experts has been formed to go to the Sanxia frontline. At the same time, "Lovol Stations" have been established along cross-regional routes in a timely manner, linking a three-tier parts support system of "220 parts warehouses + more than 1,000 parts delivery points + 160 mobile parts vehicles" to achieve comprehensive support whereby "wherever the customer goes, service follows."

Unlike previous years, to comprehensively improve the intelligence and precision of services, Weichai Lovol Smart Agriculture has innovatively upgraded its intelligent service decision-making platform. With the help of AI big data, it strengthens service command and decision-making efficiency, enabling the "Thirty-Character Army" service model to evolve from the traditional "human wave tactic" into a technology-rich "cloud-based operation."

With the support of the "AI" commander, the intelligent service decision-making platform monitors information such as vehicle transfers, harvest progress, and per-capita order volume in real time, and compares it with historical data to predict vehicle cross-regional routes, transfer times, and regional operation times. This enables service resource allocation precise to the "day" and increases resource utilization by 16%, ensuring the optimal ratio of service resources.

Digital and Intelligent Support: Making Operators "AI"-Fall in Love with Cross-Regional Operations

While digital and intelligent services comprehensively escort cross-regional operations, the newly upgraded Zhinong Lovol APP has also become an AI "pocket advisor" for cross-regional operators. After taking delivery of his machine on site, Mr. Li, an operator from Gansu, first opened the Zhinong Lovol APP on his phone and bound his "new partner."

It is reported that the "cross-regional support" function of the Zhinong Lovol APP can automatically recommend the optimal operation route by integrating data such as agricultural machinery location, model performance, and surrounding crop maturity. "In the past, running orders depended on luck; now it depends on big data. Harvesting 50 more mu per day is no problem!" Mr. Li said with satisfaction.

In addition, the APP also provides convenient services such as parts inquiries, maintenance services, and intelligent vehicle body monitoring. Operators can initiate remote video diagnostics through the "one-click repair request" function to quickly solve problems. "This Zhinong Lovol APP is even more reliable than me, an old driver. It really is 'with the APP in hand, no worries about a bumper harvest!'" Mr. Li added.

Digital and Intelligent Empowerment: Giving the Harvest Both "Novelty" and "Data"

In addition to ensuring the smooth operation of operators, on the invisible cloud battlefield, the Lovol intelligent service decision-making platform is also dynamically analyzing daily satellite remote sensing, meteorological cloud maps, and cross-regional operation data.

Once this real-time monitoring network covering Sanxia production progress is synchronized to local government agricultural command centers, it can not only provide a decision-making basis for local harvest timing, but also issue early warnings about supply-demand imbalances of regional combine harvesters, providing scientific solutions to problems such as "when to start harvesting" and "where to dispatch."

From the professional support of the "Thirty-Character Legion" to the precise empowerment of AI algorithms, the comprehensive upgrade of Weichai Lovol's Sanxia digital and intelligent services not only safeguards the road to harvest for cross-regional operators across the country, but also builds a solid "technological embankment" for ensuring that 400 million mu of summer grain is safely stored away.
