Since 2014, KEDA Industrial Group has been focusing on the research and development of Automated Guided Vehicles (AGV). To better adapt to market demands, concentrate advantageous resources, accelerate the R&D process, and efficiently fulfill customer orders, the AGV Project Team of the KEDA Ceramic Machinery Smart Transportation & Storage Division emerged, dedicated to realizing smart logistic transportation for finished products & green tiles in the ceramic industry.
After years of dedicated effort and development, the AGV Project Team has grown into the core force of the division, with technological innovation serving as its cornerstone competitiveness. Currently, the team holds 2 pending invention patents, 11 utility model patents, 4 design patents, and 2 software copyrights. Additionally, the team has participated in formulating group standards and achieved breakthroughs in the R&D as well as the industrialization of heavy-duty, high-precision AGVs and scheduling technologies in the ceramic industry. This project was evaluated at the scientific and technological achievements appraisal organized by the Guangdong Mechanical Engineering Society and was appraised as possessing 'Internationally Leading Technology' overall.
Among them, the heavy-duty laser-guided stacking AGV breaks through the limitations of traditional forklift capacities, with a maximum load capacity of up to 5 tons, perfectly meeting customers's needs. The team is also developing a stable 15-ton under-ride lifting AGV and a laser-guided balanced heavy-duty AGV to expand the AGV family further and be fully prepared for various application scenarios in the ceramic industry in the future. Both types of AGVs have broken the market monopoly of Italian products in the ceramic AGV industry.
With flexible planning, stable product quality, excellent cost-effectiveness, and reliable after-sales service, the AGV Project Team's products ensure that customers enjoy technological convenience during use. They also provide solid support for their production, helping them excel in the competitive landscape.
Currently, AGV products have been exported to Vietnam, Turkey, Eastern Europe, and other countries and regions, with the export ratio increasing year by year, breaking Italy's monopoly on ceramic AGV products. So far, the team has sold 80+ magnetic navigation AGVs and 40+ laser AGVs, gradually making this product one of the division's core offerings.

Mr. Jiaqiang QIU
Technical Leader of Design Room 2, Ceramic Press Division, HLT & DLT Ceramic Machinery

Mr. Jiaqiang QIU joined HLT & DLT Ceramic Machinery immediately after graduation and has accumulated 10 years of experience in R&D. Since joining the company, he has been focusing on the R&D of automatic hydraulic presses, advancing from a regular technician to a principal engineer at the R&D center. Currently, as the technical leader of Design Room 2, QIU leads his team in developing aluminum-profile extruders.
Before moving into the field of aluminum-profile extruders, he primarily took charge of designing ceramic presses, overseeing and completing the main design work for about 13 models, including YP1509 and YP2009. He also contributed to the design of the HT36000 hydraulic automatic press for ceramic tiles, the largest tonnage tile-forming machine, where he mainly focused on the R&D of stroke compensation mechanisms.
In 2019, QIU actively embraced the development strategy of "Ceramic Machinery Serialization and Press Diversification" set by HLT & DLT Ceramic Machinery, shifting his R&D focus from ceramic press machines to automatic hydraulic presses for aluminum profiles. Despite the significant challenges of entering a new field from scratch, with tight timelines and a lack of reference materials, he pressed forward and led the R&D team to overcome various obstacles. By 2020, they successfully developed HLT & DLT Ceramic Machinery's first aluminum-profile extruder, the YPL2000. Its performance was well-received by customers, establishing a solid foundation for the brand's extruders to enter new markets.
From 2020 to the present, following the successful development of the YPL2000, QIU and his extruder R&D team have iteratively developed nearly 30 extruder models ranging from 1100 tons to 6500 tons. This work has laid the groundwork for the initial layout of the specifications and models of the extruder product line.
In 2024, he led his team to complete the design work for 4 new models: YPL5000F1, YPL1500B2, YPL1300B1, and YPL1100B1. The YPL1500B2, a generational upgrade of YPL1500B1, is this year's new product development project. Currently, the first batch of orders for this model has reached 21 units, receiving enthusiastic approval from customers.

Mr. Bin GUO
Manager of Thermal Technology Department, Foshan KEDA Industrial

As the manager of the Thermal Engineering Department at Foshan KEDA Industrial, Mr. Bin GUO has led his team in achieving several breakthroughs in energy-saving technology innovations in recent years.
He has delved deeply into energy consumption optimization, leading his team to continuously refine structural designs, improve product performance, and significantly reduce equipment heat loss through various simulation and modeling techniques, as well as the development of new equipment and materials. For instance, they focused on developing natural gas energy-saving burners and, through hundreds of comparative tests on various specifications and sizes, identified a burner that suits KEDA's kiln models. This new burner saves 2%-3% more energy compared to the previous generation. Additionally, they introduced new thermal insulation materials; after a series of experimental comparisons, these materials applied to kiln walls led to a reduction in external surface temperature by 5-10°C, effectively minimizing heat dissipation from the kiln and reducing energy consumption.
He also developed and upgraded the logical algorithms of the kiln's intelligent control system to accommodate flexible production across various processes, significantly enhancing energy utilization efficiency. The introduction of "Full Waste Heat Recovery and Utilization Technology" has elevated the approach to factory-wide waste heat utilization to a higher level, enabling tiered energy use and further reducing overall energy consumption. Thanks to their collective efforts, the latest kilns launched by KEDA Ceramic Machinery have achieved over an 8% improvement in comprehensive energy consumption compared to the previous generation, significantly surpassing similar products in the industry.
The low energy consumption and stable production achieved in these projects have enhanced the core competitiveness of their products, earned a strong reputation among customers and in the market, and provided greater confidence and assurance in securing business orders.
