CASMT Debuts at the 2026 Changzhou International New Energy Expo, Empowering the Intelligent Manufacturing Upgrade of the New Energy Industry with Industrial AI

2026-10-08

Recently, the 2026 Changzhou International New Energy Expo grandly opened. CASMT (Changzhou) Intelligent Manufacturing Co., Ltd., a national key"Little Giant"enterprise in Changzhou, participated with two core technology segments, showcasing the CASMT AI + CAX industrial simulation foundation and the capability for deploying embodied robots in industrial scenarios, empowering the digital transformation of manufacturing in the Capital of New Energy with industrial AI and embodied intelligence technologies. This year's Expo focused on frontier tracks such as new energy, energy storage, and high-end intelligent equipment, bringing together upstream and downstream enterprises, technology experts, and purchasing customers in the industry chain. CASMT's booth prominently presented two core segments.The first segment is the CASMT AI + CAX industrial simulation foundation. This self-developed platform deeply connects the full-chain CAD/CAE/CAM industrial software and, relying on industrial agents, builds a closed-loop system of "design - simulation - manufacturing", restructuring the traditional serial engineering workflow into an AI-driven parallel design model. The platform accumulates a massive knowledge base of discrete manufacturing processes, enabling rapid intelligent generation of production line solutions, virtual simulation verification, and process iteration optimization, greatly shortening the design and delivery cycle of non-standard automated production lines, reducing project trial-and-error costs, achieving right-first-time design, and providing underlying digital intelligence support for production lines in new energy thermal management, electric drives, and energy storage batteries.The second segment of the exhibition focuses on the capability for deploying embodied robots in industrial scenarios, showcasing their engineering application achievements in real industrial environments. Different from laboratory concept demonstrations, the exhibits address the pain points of flexible production in manufacturing, reproducing typical processes such as precision assembly and workpiece quality inspection in factories. Relying on embodied perception, autonomous decision-making, and multi-robot collaboration, they adapt to production line needs for multi-variety, small-batch manufacturing. Through live operational demonstrations, the site intuitively presents the robots' adaptive working capabilities in unstructured industrial environments, breaking the limitations of traditional automation equipment"fixed programs and single workstations", enabling rapid product changeover and flexible deployment. The segment fully demonstrates the industrialization journey of embodied intelligence from technical R&D to production line practice, providing deployable flexible automation solutions for industries such as automotive, equipment manufacturing, and new energy, helping manufacturing reduce costs and improve efficiency and advancing the transformation and upgrading of intelligent manufacturing.At the exhibition, CASMT's technical team received many guests from new energy enterprises, equipment manufacturers, and research institutions, conducting in-depth exchanges on topics such as the application of the industrial simulation foundation in production line planning, the deployment pathways of embodied robots in factories, and the intelligent upgrading of new energy plants, and following up on multiple cooperation intentions.Building on the advantages of Changzhou's new energy industry cluster, CASMT continues to explore the industrial integration and innovation of industrial AI and embodied intelligence. In the future, the company will continue to iterate on the CASMT AI + CAX industrial simulation foundation, refine its industrial manufacturing solutions for embodied robots, promote the deep integration of digital simulation technology with physical manufacturing, help the new energy and high-end equipment industries improve quality and reduce costs, and inject new momentum for intelligent manufacturing into the construction of Changzhou as the Capital of New Energy.
