Shanghai Electric shows 19 integrated solutions at CIIF 2026, from robotics to nuclear

Components for embodied intelligence robots

On the opening day, Shanghai Electric introduced a complete component solution for robots built on embodied intelligence. It covers five categories: bearings, fasteners, screws, joint modules and dexterous robotic hands. According to the company, the offering ranges from precision transmission parts to fully integrated robotic hands and supports humanoid, industrial and collaborative robots.

Products on display included miniature bearings with an inner diameter of just 0.6 millimeters, highly corrosion-resistant "Xuanwu" fasteners, inverted planetary roller screws, rotary and linear joint modules, and a dexterous robotic hand with 22 degrees of freedom.

AI for wind power, batteries and data centers

Shanghai Electric also showed an AI-powered digital solution for the wind power sector. It applies the technology across the design, manufacturing, operation and maintenance of wind equipment. Using closed-loop, data-driven workflows, the company says the solution improves R&D efficiency, safeguards product quality and supports better operation and maintenance decisions.

For battery makers, the company presented an integrated solution for smart lithium battery factory production lines that covers the full manufacturing process. It includes planning and design, process implementation, auxiliary service systems and environmental control, aimed at automation, digitalization and smart manufacturing.

Its data center computing rack uses two-phase liquid cooling for precise chip-level temperature control. The company states it delivers cooling capacity above 200 kW per rack and multiplies computing density by five. The solution can also be used to upgrade existing data centers, and integration with an Internet of Things platform enables system-wide energy savings and predictive maintenance.

A cloud-edge intelligent energy management and control system uses AI algorithms to forecast generation and load and to optimize the distribution of multiple energy sources. According to the company, it has shown it can run continuously off-grid in settings such as oilfield microgrids, even under extreme operating conditions.

Gas turbines and a first-time control system

Shanghai Electric presented an AI-driven solution for high-power gas turbines that covers the full life cycle, including design simulation, flexible smart manufacturing, AI-based quality control, supply chain coordination, and intelligent operation and maintenance.

The company exhibited its gas turbine control system for the first time. Developed entirely in-house, the system went into operation in June 2026 at Shenzhen Energy's Ganlu project. Shanghai Electric offers simple-cycle and combined-cycle gas power generation solutions from 75 MW to 800 MW. It also says it carried out China's first demonstration of hydrogen blending in a high-power (F-class) gas turbine that is currently in operation.

Nuclear power equipment

Through interactive exhibits, Shanghai Electric presented its offering across the nuclear value chain. The company says it is well placed to supply the complete main equipment for the nuclear island, for both pressurized water reactors and high-temperature gas-cooled reactors, as well as key components for nuclear fusion systems. The displays covered the Hualong One and Guohe One reactors, high-temperature gas-cooled reactors and fusion equipment.

In nuclear fusion, Shanghai Electric reports 36 breakthroughs in key manufacturing technologies, four core manufacturing capabilities established and 15 patents obtained.

What it means

The showcase reflects how the company is positioning AI as a common thread across its businesses, from robot components and wind power to data centers and turbines. The figures and performance claims come from Shanghai Electric itself, and the announcement gives no pricing or commercial availability details for the solutions.
