Shangyida’s journey began in 2017. In its early days, the team focused on outsourced projects from institutions such as the Army Border and Coastal Defense Academy and PetroChina. In 2018, invited by the government of Yumen City, the team entered the agricultural technology track with its first-generation fuel-powered agricultural robot designed for goji berry plant protection.

Following its official registration in 2019, Shangyida established a development strategy centered on intelligent navigation technology and pioneered a smart solution system covering the entire industrial chain of economic crops—from planting, management, harvesting to sales. That same year, it released the second-generation agricultural robot, upgrading its mobility system to electric drive, thus initiating its electrification transformation. In 2020, the third-generation all-electric model featured optimized mechanical structure and a wind-Spray system. The fourth-generation lithium-powered equipment helped the company earn recognition as a national high-tech enterprise.

Shangyida then accelerated its innovation:

In 2021, it launched the fifth-generation fully intelligent electric robot, enabling remote control and autonomous path planning.

In 2022, the integration of an intelligent IoT management system enabled multi-device coordination and supported unmanned orchard operations.

In 2023, with government support, it launched a pilot unmanned orchard demonstration base and developed a multi-functional orchard management robot.

In 2024, integrating years of industry experience and user feedback, the company introduced its flagship product — the Lingxi Smart Agricultural Robot, designed for all-terrain adaptability and efficient operation, making it an ideal choice for large-scale farms and cooperatives.

During this exchange, the Lingxi Smart Agricultural Robot was a focal point of the presentation.

As Shangyida’s flagship product, the Lingxi Robot features a high-performance 165kW power system that delivers consistent and reliable support for efficient field operations. Its key advantages include:

All-Scenario Adaptability: Compatible with standardized farming implements for plowing, tilling, seeding, fertilizing, weeding, and more — easily handling a range of agricultural needs.

High Operational Efficiency: Equipped with intelligent navigation and autonomous path planning to reduce redundant work and enhance precision.

Enhanced Economic Value: Modular design reduces maintenance costs, and lithium-electric power minimizes fuel dependency — promoting eco-friendly farming.

Complementing the Lingxi Robot is the Beidou Smart Monitoring and Management Platform, built on a modular architecture of “Four Centers and One Interface,” forming the central nervous system for agricultural data management:

Data Analysis Center: Processes multi-dimensional data in real-time, including field conditions, crop growth, and equipment status.

Operations Control Center: Coordinates and schedules equipment clusters to optimize workflow.

Device Control Center: Enables remote operation of robots for fully unmanned execution.

Video Surveillance Center: Provides full-scene visual monitoring to ensure operational safety.

Open Data Interface: Supports integration with government regulation, enterprise management, and farmer services.

With high-concurrency processing and millisecond-level response, the platform can perform real-time analysis on data at a trillion-record scale and support concurrent access by millions of devices — offering precise decision support for government oversight and enterprise innovation.

From military-grade technology to advanced agricultural equipment, from single-machine innovation to full industry-chain deployment, Shangyida remains committed to its core strategy of "technology-driven, scenario-based implementation." This customer visit was not only a validation of its achievements but also the beginning of deeper collaboration in smart agriculture. Going forward, Shangyida will continue to integrate IoT, artificial intelligence, and agricultural applications, delivering smart agriculture solutions rooted in China and supporting the global transition toward modernized agriculture.
