CITIC Heavy Industries Co., Ltd. - 中信重工机械股份有限公司
CITIC Heavy Industries is a Luoyang-based, Shanghai-listed heavy equipment maker whose Kaicheng Intelligent unit builds fire, mining and inspection robots.
CITIC Heavy Industries Co., Ltd. is a large state-controlled heavy equipment manufacturer headquartered at No. 206 Jianshe Road, Jianxi District, Luoyang, Henan Province, China. The company was established on January 26, 2008, and is listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange under ticker 601608. It operates within the CITIC Group conglomerate.
According to the company's own corporate description, its principal business covers large equipment, large complete sets of technical equipment and key basic components across four segments: mining and heavy equipment (including complete engineering packages), robots and intelligent equipment, new energy equipment, and special materials, serving industries such as mining, building materials, coal, metallurgy and petrochemicals.
The robotics segment is carried out primarily through its subsidiary, CITIC Heavy Industries Kaicheng Intelligent Equipment Co., Ltd., headquartered in the Tangshan National High-Tech Industrial Development Zone, Hebei Province. Kaicheng Intelligent develops special-purpose robots across four product families: special robots (including fire-fighting reconnaissance robots and quadruped inspection robots), intelligent mining robots (including gangue-sorting robots and conveyor-belt longitudinal-tear detection robots), intelligent mine control platforms and equipment, and intelligent mine transmission equipment.
Two named products were verified on Kaicheng Intelligent's official product pages. The 'Intelligent Fire Reconnaissance Robot,' model RXR-C6BD (second generation), is a tracked, explosion-proof, heat- and water-resistant robot equipped with a 360-degree pan-tilt-zoom camera, two-way voice communication, flame recognition, binocular gesture recognition, 360-degree sound-source localization, high-precision GPS, a laser methane telemetry sensor for pipeline leak detection, and laser-based SLAM autonomous navigation, intended for hazardous-site inspection in petrochemical and gas environments. A second product, the coal gangue sorting robot, uses machine-vision-based recognition to separate material in the 50-300 mm size range on a conveyor belt running up to 2 m/s, with a stated sorting accuracy above 90 percent; no model number was published for this unit.
CITIC Heavy Industries' robotics products have been showcased at the World Robot Conference, and Chinese industry media describe Kaicheng Intelligent as one of the country's leading specialized-robot manufacturing bases. The company is exhibiting at the World Robot Conference 2026 in Beijing. Because robots and intelligent equipment are explicitly named as one of the company's four core business segments alongside mining/heavy equipment, new energy equipment and special materials, CITIC Heavy Industries is a verified robot manufacturer rather than a peripheral participant in the industry.
