en.Wedoany.com Reported - The 17th International Infrastructure Investment and Construction Summit and Exhibition opened in Macao, with Caterpillar attending the forum and exhibition. Yang Chengjian, Senior Vice President of Caterpillar, delivered a keynote speech at the "China-Latin America Infrastructure Cooperation Forum," discussing the latest practices in green and digital-intelligent technologies with attendees to promote infrastructure cooperation between China and Latin America.

Through continuous innovation and investment, Caterpillar is accelerating the development of digitalization, intelligence, and automation to help customers optimize job sites, enhance safety, reduce costs, and improve productivity. At the Consumer Electronics Show in the United States in January this year, Caterpillar launched the Cat AI Assistant, an AI-based solution that improves the convenience and efficiency of equipment purchasing, maintenance, management, and operation. Additionally, Caterpillar introduced an autonomous fleet consisting of five types of construction equipment and announced an expanded partnership with NVIDIA to build an AI-driven ecosystem that reshapes the operation of equipment, job sites, factories, and supply chains.

This series of innovations demonstrates a seamless connection from "earthmoving" on construction sites to high-quality "data insights" and precise "intelligent decision-making."

Globally, over 1.6 million Caterpillar machines are now connected. Leveraging this data ecosystem, Caterpillar can more accurately predict customer needs and improve equipment uptime. At the same time, Caterpillar continues to strengthen its service capabilities, enabling every machine to generate valuable data assets that help customers work more efficiently, safely, and intelligently. These capabilities are supported by Caterpillar's localized presence. In Latin America, Caterpillar operates 13 manufacturing facilities and 3 parts distribution centers, with 32 dealers deeply rooted in the region for over a century. Leveraging local expertise, fast and reliable parts supply, and stable, efficient job site support, Caterpillar helps customers advance their projects.

Caterpillar products are widely used in large-scale projects across Latin America, including road infrastructure, airports, hydropower projects, energy, quarries, and mining. In Brazil, loaders equipped with intelligent payload systems enhance customer operational efficiency; in Argentina, alternative fuel solutions help customers reduce emissions and costs; and operator training provided by dealers helps customers improve equipment uptime and productivity while reducing costs and operator-related incidents.

For Chinese contractors, the value of Caterpillar's AI and data capabilities is reflected throughout the project lifecycle and cross-regional operations. In Peru, Caterpillar supports the construction of a systematic flood control project by providing integrated solutions that combine products, services, advanced technology, and expertise. Additionally, using the VisionLink™ productivity and health monitoring system, Caterpillar helps customers manage fleets, optimize job site performance, and monitor equipment health. Combined with solutions such as parts platforms and customer value agreements, this enables the interconnection of equipment, data, and services, supporting data-driven equipment lifecycle operations.

Yang Chengjian stated that customer goals are at the core of everything Caterpillar does. Caterpillar will continue to leverage its global expertise, local manufacturing systems, and local experience to provide innovative products, services, and solutions to Chinese contractor customers operating both in China and overseas, including in Latin America.

In Hall D of the exhibition area on the third floor of the Cotai Expo, Caterpillar, under the theme "Redefining Possibilities," systematically showcased how the company delivers value to customers through products, technology, and services. The booth, centered on the customer lifecycle, connected smart technology, automation and autonomy, energy solutions, and service capabilities, creating a complete value chain spanning "products, technology, and services."
