en.Wedoany.com Reported - During the 2026 China Brand Day, a brand promotional video was officially released, bringing the national brand "CAAMS" back into the public eye. "Make farming less laborious, make harvest more effortless" — behind this simple promise lies decades of continuous technological breakthroughs by CAAMS, a subsidiary of Sinomach.

Seventy years ago, agricultural mechanization in China was almost a blank slate; seventy years later, "CAAMS" has built a high-end product system covering the entire chain of breeding, plowing, planting, managing, harvesting, and storing. From core technological breakthroughs that filled domestic gaps to field test data that set industry records, "CAAMS" uses steel as its bones and craftsmanship as its soul, interpreting the brand weight represented by the name "CAAMS" with one hardcore achievement after another.

As the spring tide surges, it is time for plowing and sowing. Every spring plowing season, CAAMS closely follows the agricultural timing needs, leveraging intelligent equipment and full-process technical services to shift from "relying on experience" to "relying on data," using technology to revitalize every inch of land and contribute agricultural machinery wisdom to securing China's "rice bowl."

Seeds are the chip of agriculture. CAAMS's self-developed specialized plot seeder for breeding breaks through the seed metering self-cleaning technology, improving the sowing quality and efficiency of breeding test fields, breaking the monopoly of imported brands, safeguarding the seed industry revitalization action, and adding confidence to the principle that "Chinese grain" mainly uses "Chinese seeds."

To meet the agricultural timing needs of different regions, "CAAMS" tailors solutions. The "CAAMS・Huade" no-till air-suction precision planter offers high precision, uniform seeding, and stable performance, and has been dispatched to application fronts such as Inner Mongolia and Xinjiang; in Jiangsu and other areas, as southern wheat enters the critical period of reviving, jointing, and topdressing, CAAMS's self-developed precision row-following intelligent topdressing equipment is put into operation. Targeting local rice-wheat rotation and narrow row spacing characteristics, it achieves side-deep precision fertilization, avoiding damage to seedlings and roots while significantly improving fertilizer utilization.

Beyond products, "CAAMS" also brings training and maintenance to the fields. The team goes deep into the countryside to conduct "hands-on training," making ample preparations and precise scheduling for "CAAMS・Meinuo" potato equipment, providing product explanations and technical training through on-site demonstrations; simultaneously, they perform comprehensive maintenance, practical skill training, and user demand surveys for "CAAMS" high-clearance boom sprayers, ensuring farmers seize the agricultural timing without delaying production. The confidence behind the statement "Guard the safety of every grain with reliable equipment" comes precisely from the independent controllability of every key component in the breeding, plowing, preparation, and planting stages, and the relentless pursuit of perfection in every core process.

Cotton was once one of the most difficult cash crops to harvest mechanically. Under the rigorous test of the 2025 operating season in Uzbekistan, the "CAAMS" cotton picker delivered an impressive performance.

This "CAAMS" four-row basket cotton picker is a star product tailored for the operating environment of Central Asia. It is equipped with an advanced intelligent control system that can monitor the picking status in real-time, effectively improving picking quality and efficiency. Its core picking unit features a dual-drum design with a scientifically arranged spindle layout, enabling efficient harvesting while minimizing damage to cotton fibers. The large basket reduces the frequency of unloading, and coupled with a powerful engine, ensures long-duration, high-intensity continuous operation, achieving a picking rate of over 95%.

As the earliest enterprise in China to develop cotton pickers, CAAMS has been deeply involved in this field for over 20 years. In 2010, CAAMS developed China's first cotton picker, the 4MZ-3 model, with completely independent intellectual property rights. In 2017, it successfully developed a 6-row baler cotton picker, marking the beginning of China's production of 6-row cotton pickers... It is precisely this years of deep accumulation that has enabled the "CAAMS" cotton picker to successfully enter the international market.

In the field of specialty crops, the performance is equally outstanding. The "CAAMS" full-chain solution for potatoes not only provides agricultural machinery equipment for the entire process from potato planting and field management to harvesting but also customizes potato deep-processing solutions to increase economic added value.

The "CAAMS" series products adhere to taking customer needs as the origin of innovation. The market-proven "CAAMS・Meinuo" green forage harvester is a mainstay of China's green forage harvesting equipment, capable of meeting the needs of large and medium-sized cattle farms in China, breaking the monopoly of foreign large-scale green forage harvesters. With engine power ranging from 340 hp to 580 hp, it can be configured with various types of headers, featuring functions such as millimeter-level adjustable cut length, metal detection, rapid reverse, and automatic knife sharpening.

The "CAAMS" series balers, which have led the technology of collecting and storing forage crop and straw for over 20 years, continue to maintain market advantages and lead the development of China's baler industry. Since their launch, the "CAAMS" series balers have cumulatively harvested over 500 million tons of straw, equivalent to saving 250 million tons of standard coal. Today, the "four-square, four-round" baler product matrix, comprising 4 categories and 8 series, is continuously enhancing the added value of straw, transforming it from high-quality forage to a hundred-billion-yuan industrial chain covering collection, storage, transportation, biomass power generation, and pulp and papermaking, turning once-troublesome agricultural waste into a green industry with an annual output value exceeding 20 billion yuan.

As the earliest national-level research institute in China to deploy smart agricultural machinery, CAAMS continuously drives the digital development of agriculture with its "Beidou+" intelligent brain.

CAAMS's self-developed first domestic cloud service platform for full-process agricultural mechanization has been operating for nearly 10 years. This platform utilizes advanced technologies such as the Internet of Things, cloud computing, Beidou positioning, and big data analysis to enable customization of different modules for conservation tillage, deep loosening and land preparation, testing and certification, socialized services, and data analysis, equipping agricultural machinery with "clairvoyant eyes" and "far-reaching ears," providing strong support for the rapid development of intelligent and information-based agricultural machinery in China.

The remote electronic monitoring system for conservation tillage on black soil uses Beidou satellite positioning technology and image visual analysis methods to achieve intelligent monitoring and supervision of the operation process and quality, effectively preventing and resolving risks and issues such as difficulty in monitoring operation quality, difficulty in verifying area, and high risk in subsidy fund distribution, providing modern information technology support for the solid and effective promotion of conservation tillage.

In recent years, CAAMS's smart agricultural machinery products have continued to diversify. Intelligent systems and terminals such as the Beidou precision seeding and fertilization control system, the Beidou remote monitoring system for agricultural machinery operations, the in-vehicle intelligent digital instrument, the automatic navigation assisted driving system, and the OBD vehicle terminal are all supported by the "Beidou" system, adapting to various types of agricultural machinery and providing precise and efficient intelligent equipment support for different operational stages.

From the intelligent control of the "brain" to the hardcore foundation of the "bones and muscles," "CAAMS" is using its independently controllable technology system to solidify the backbone of China's agricultural machinery.

With over 40 years of practice in foreign aid training, CAAMS adheres to the concept of a community with a shared future for mankind, focusing on the core directions of "leading the agricultural machinery industry chain, green and low-carbon development, and innovation-driven science and technology," precisely empowering the agricultural modernization of countries co-building the "Belt and Road Initiative."

With professional empowerment as the core and mutual win-win as the guide, an integrated training model of "theoretical teaching + field research + demand matching" has been established. During the training, expert teams and participating trainees delve into local planting bases, scientific research laboratories, and food processing enterprises to jointly solve pain points such as insufficient resource utilization efficiency and poor technology adaptability. Before the training, the "CAAMS" brand was unfamiliar to many trainees, but after witnessing the excellent quality and efficient performance of the products firsthand, the trainees became "grassroots ambassadors," actively promoting and recommending the brand in various industry activities, sparking local market enthusiasm for cooperation with Chinese agricultural machinery products.

At the same time, targeting countries co-building the "Belt and Road Initiative," CAAMS actively exports efficient and applicable agricultural technologies and equipment standards. Focusing on development challenges in African countries such as Burundi and Uganda, including imperfect post-harvest processing standard systems and persistently high post-harvest losses, it provides complete technical solutions and specialized practical guidance, effectively improving local agricultural production efficiency and the added value of agricultural products, using "Chinese solutions" to break local agricultural development bottlenecks. Looking back at the milestones on the brand's growth path: the release of a brand promotional video, an online live-stream debut achieving sales exceeding ten million yuan, the unveiling of a corporate culture declaration... These are moments of brand brilliance, but what truly supports the weight of the "CAAMS" brand is the cotton picker with independent intellectual property rights, the single-unit white radish harvester with an efficiency of 2 mu/hour, equivalent to 30 manual laborers, the innovative mechanism of the baler breaking the feeding efficiency bottleneck, and most importantly, the recognition from domestic and international users.

Remembering the journey through wind and rain, deeply cultivating the fertile soil to achieve prosperity. Watch the endless waves of rice, listen to the joyful songs of harvest, and walk together on the sunward path. Guarding the hope of the fields with brand craftsmanship — this is the era's answer that "CAAMS" dedicates to the land and the cultivators.
