Ningbo Agriculture Bureau Leaders Visit Daye Power to Inspect Smart Agricultural Machinery

On the afternoon of April 8, 2026, Zhuo Kaihao, Deputy Director of the Ningbo Municipal Bureau of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, led a delegation of officials to Ningbo Daye Power Machinery Co., Ltd. The team conducted a specialized inspection of the company and researched the R&D and manufacturing project of the Bayberry Production Management Robot. Officials from the Yuyao Municipal Bureau of Agriculture and Rural Affairs accompanied the visit. Wu Zhiqiang, Chairman of Ningbo Daye Power Machinery, along with company executives and the technical team, provided full reception and detailed presentations.

During the research visit, Deputy Director Zhuo and his delegation went deep into the production workshops and R&D centers. They inspected advanced equipment such as laser cutters and CNC lathes, and observed the prototype of the tracked remote-controlled (Beidou) mower currently under development. They inquired about core components and learned in detail about the equipment's R&D progress, technical parameters, and testing applications.

Chairman Wu Zhiqiang reported on the company's development history and business philosophy. He specifically provided a comprehensive introduction to the background of the smart bayberry robot, the joint design plan with Nanjing Agricultural University, key technical breakthroughs, and application scenarios. Once successfully developed, this product will solve the difficulties and high costs of hiring labor for bayberry farmers, effectively prevent injuries during pruning and harvesting, and help farmers increase their wealth.

During the symposium, Deputy Director Zhuo Kaihao fully affirmed the innovative practice of Ningbo Daye Power's transformation from export-only to balancing domestic and international markets, with a focus on smart agricultural machinery R&D. He pointed out that bayberry is a specialty advantageous agricultural product in Ningbo. Solving the mechanization challenges in mountainous planting, harvesting, and transportation is key to improving the quality and efficiency of the bayberry industry and increasing farmers' income.

Deputy Director Zhuo offered clear guiding opinions on advancing the project:

Strengthen multi-scenario adaptation: Based on core bayberry production needs, further optimize the equipment's practicality and stability in scenarios such as slope operations, lifting harvesting platforms, and material transport up and down mountains, effectively solving the pain points of mountainous farming.

Focus on cost-effectiveness: Accelerate technical optimization and mass production preparation, reasonably control R&D and manufacturing costs, shorten the payback period for farmers, and improve market viability.

Expand functional upgrades: Based on the single bayberry production scenario, accelerate technical iteration and functional integration, pushing the equipment towards a multi-scenario integrated machine for fruit trees to improve utilization rates and achieve "one machine, multiple uses."
