Publish Time: 2025-10-28
After more than two weeks of productive online communication, Chengfeng Technology finally welcomed an in-person visit from our Russian partners. Konstantin Lopatin, CEO of a Russian river and lake management company, led a delegation to our facility for on-site inspection and technical discussions. He was warmly received by Chairman Mr. Zhao Hongbin, marking the beginning of a deeply engaging and professional exchange.Inside the Production Workshop: Showcasing the Power of Chinese ManufacturingMr. Zhao guided Mr. Lopatin through Chengfeng Technology’s R&D and production workshop for unmanned surface vessels (USVs)—the core hub of our water environment monitoring innovations.In the production area, Mr. Zhao demonstrated the complete operational process of the USV: from autonomous navigation and fixed-point sampling to automatic data upload to the cloud platform. Clients can monitor real-time parameters such as dissolved oxygen, pH, conductivity, ammonia nitrogen, and temperature directly through the terminal interface—experiencing first-hand the seamless integration of technology and environmental protection.Mr. Zhao provided a detailed introduction to the unmanned monitoring vessels, explaining their suitability for water quality monitoring, hydrological surveying, underwater topographic mapping, pollution discharge detection, and water sampling in rivers, lakes, and reservoirs.Mr. Lopatin took detailed notes on each vessel’s technical features and capabilities.• W70 Hydrological USV – Lightweight and portable, designed for single-person operation. Enables fast, high-quality data acquisition and real-time measurement for reliable field performance.• W80 Micro Hydrological Vessel – Constructed with a carbon fiber hull and weighing only 12 kg, this model supports over ten mainstream ADCP types, ensuring efficient hydrological flow measurement.• WD90 Monitoring & Sampling Vessel – Twin-hull design allows simultaneous sampling and monitoring, achieving extensive coverage with a compact frame.• W100 Automatic Sampling Vessel – With a shallow 10 cm draft and ducted propulsion to prevent entanglement, it offers excellent maneuverability and portability for one-person operation.• W120 Single-Hull Multifunctional USV – Capable of supporting multiple sensors and instruments, ideal for both hydrological monitoring and topographic mapping.• W160 Twin-Hull Multifunctional USV – Fully customizable and highly versatile. Can be equipped with samplers, multiparameter sensors, ADCPs, single-beam or side-scan sonar, HD cameras, loudspeakers, and other modular payloads.The discussion also covered the Amphibious River and Lake Cleaner, a new-generation multipurpose vessel that integrates aquatic vegetation harvesting, algae removal, excavation, shoreline piling, emergency rescue, and dredging. As a comprehensive solution, this platform provides powerful technical support for integrated river and lake management and ecological restoration.
Strategic Discussions: Beyond Technology—Toward an Ecological PartnershipThe two sides then moved to the conference room for a deeper strategic exchange focused on river and lake governance. Drawing upon Chengfeng Technology’s extensive experience and advanced technologies, both teams discussed topics ranging from policy frameworks and technical implementation to project challenges and solutions—engaging in a lively and forward-looking dialogue.This cross-border visit gave Mr. Lopatin and his team a firsthand look at Chengfeng Technology’s intelligent manufacturing strength in river and lake management. More importantly, it established a shared vision for future collaboration in technical integration and project execution.Looking ahead, Shanghai Chengfeng Technology Co., Ltd. will continue to advance with unmanned vessel technology as its core driver. Together with our Russian partners, we aim to build a transnational cooperation network for river and lake governance—leveraging the synergy of technology and ecology to tackle global water resource challenges and enable “Made in China” to contribute even more to the world’s aquatic health.
