Wang Yaning: Intelligent Construction Fuels Innovation in Prefabricated Buildings and Rural Housing

Xinhua Net, Li Lin Xuelong Machinery December 4, 2024, 09:49

From December 2 to 4, a series of events for the 2024 Entrepreneurs Boao Forum were held in Boao, Hainan. At the “Renewal and Progress Toward a Better Future” 2024 Forum on the Development of Quality Living Environments, held on December 3, Wang Yaning, Chairman of Xuelong Machinery Manufacturing Co., Ltd., stated that the importance of equipment in the construction sector is self-evident, particularly when it comes to rapidly erecting urban skyscrapers or office buildings, where high-quality machinery is indispensable.

Xuelong Machinery Manufacturing Co., Ltd. is a machinery manufacturing enterprise with 30 years of history. In recent years, it has achieved significant success in the fields of energy-saving and thermal insulation materials, and its prefabricated construction equipment has served more than 300 enterprises nationwide. The company is committed to integrating intelligent technologies into factory production—such as smart fabricating machines and unmanned production lines—to reduce labor requirements, improve component quality, and ensure high standards for its products.

Beyond urban architecture, Wang Yaning places particular emphasis on rural housing issues and has collaborated with design institutes and universities to jointly develop affordable, high-quality homes for rural residents. After several years of exploration, he is highly optimistic about the market prospects for small-scale rural housing construction. While pursuing opportunities in the rural small‑house market, he also keeps an eye on overseas markets.

Wang Yaning stated that the company is actively seeking new applications for its equipment. By implementing intelligent upgrades, it aims to enhance factory efficiency, reduce costs, and accelerate component production and delivery, thereby supporting the growing demand for rapid housing construction.

Pursuing “Intelligence” and Embracing “Innovation” to Implement the “Four Good” Development Approach

At present, China’s urban development has entered a critical phase of urban renewal, shifting from large-scale incremental construction to a balanced focus on upgrading existing stock and restructuring new growth. The emphasis is moving from “having or not” to “how good it is.” Secure housing is the cornerstone of people’s well-being; we must firmly anchor ourselves in this foundation and systematically advance the “four‑good” initiative—building good homes, good residential communities, good neighborhoods, and good urban districts—to create livable, resilient, and smart cities.

During the roundtable discussion, participants engaged in an in-depth exchange on “New Technologies, New Momentum: Systematically Advancing the ‘Four Good’ Initiative.” Chen Cheng, spokesperson for China State Construction International Holdings Limited, argued that, in urban renewal, the key to transforming older buildings into high-quality homes tailored to local conditions lies in remaining people-centered, fostering communication and collaboration within the industry, and strengthening top-down guidance while attracting private capital investment. Li Zixiang, deputy general manager of Beijing Dashilan Investment Co., Ltd., noted that the focus of urban renewal is gradually shifting from historic district preservation to neighborhood redevelopment, with prefabricated, intelligent, and standardized housing setting a clear direction for future urban renewal efforts.

The 2024 Boao Forum for Entrepreneurs series of events is hosted by the Xinhua News Agency Branding Office, Xinhuanet, and the Xinhua News Agency Hainan Branch. As one of the forum’s sub‑forums, the 2024 Forum on the Development of Better Living Environments aims to establish a platform for dialogue among government, business, industry, academia, and research institutions, fostering consensus and synergy. By seizing the critical opportunity presented by “renovation,” the forum seeks to meet the public’s rising expectations for a better environment and happier lives, unlock new consumer potential, cultivate new forms of productive forces, and build a green, sustainable development model—working together to contribute to the cause of creating better living environments and jointly writing a brilliant new chapter.
