“We Had No Blueprint to Follow”: Zoomlion Engineer on the Breakthrough Behind the World’s Tallest 82.3-Meter Straight-Boom Aerial Work Platform

Published

on

CHANGSHA, China, June 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — At the Seventh Science and Technology Innovation Conference hosted by Zoomlion Heavy Industry Science & Technology Co., Ltd. (“Zoomlion”), the ZT82J straight-boom aerial work platform received an Outstanding Flagship Product Award. With a maximum working height of 82.3 meters, it is the world’s tallest model in its category, addressing demand for aerial work equipment capable of operating above 80 meters and meeting the stringent safety demands of major infrastructure projects worldwide.

Behind this achievement is the persistent effort of product manager He Jipeng and his team at the Aerial Work Platform R&D Center, who drove the ZT82J from concept to mass production through design, testing, process implementation, and cross‑departmental coordination.

The core challenge from the outset was balancing two hard constraints, overall dimensions and total weight, while completing the structural layout. The R&D scope covered an ultra‑long, specially shaped lightweight boom, a box‑type turntable, and a high‑capacity chassis, aiming to reduce weight while significantly improving structural rigidity to ensure bending and torsional resistance under 82.3‑meter lifting conditions and suppress platform sway.

With no mature industry example and benchmark to follow, the team encountered bottlenecks including insufficient layout space, excessive weight, and inadequate rigidity. Weight reduction, overall dimensions and structural rigidity involved competing requirements, making it extremely difficult to find the optimal balance.

After over ten rounds of simulation, the team developed and refined a proprietary multi-edge boom cross-section and evaluated multiple telescoping configurations to optimize the overall structure. This ensured vertical and lateral stiffness while balancing weight-reduction targets with structural capacity within fixed limits.

Building on the lightweight boom, He Jipeng and the team integrated turntable and chassis optimization. Simulation identified weak stress points, precisely optimized plate cross‑sections, and reduced redundant steel while maintaining safety margins, achieving a lightweight upgrade, enhancing anti‑fatigue and anti‑overturning performance, and completing a structural breakthrough for ultra‑high working height equipment.

To support the project, Zoomlion assembled a task force of structural, hydraulic, and electronic control experts, backed by a simulation team and dedicated testing facilities, ensuring seamless coordination from design to production.

“This award recognizes our team’s progress in developing ultra-high-reach aerial work platforms and demonstrates the capabilities of Zoomlion’s high-end construction machinery,” He Jipeng said. “It has also greatly boosted our confidence to continue pushing the boundaries of innovation and breaking through technical barriers.”

Procurement Reviews Now Ask How AI Platform Data Is Deleted; FastGPT Publishes Retention Periods and Deletion Semantics

Published

Retention windows for conversation records, model-call traces and audit logs are now documented with their configuration variables and defaults

HANGZHOU, China, Sept. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — FastGPT, an open-source AI application platform for organizations, has consolidated in its public documentation how four classes of data are retained and removed: conversation records, knowledge base files, model-call traces and audit logs. The items were previously spread across a privacy policy, per-version upgrade notes and API reference pages.

For the cloud service, the privacy policy states that data deletion performed by a user is a physical deletion and is not recoverable, and that any non-physical deletion would be indicated in the service. The same policy states that user data is not kept as additional backup copies and is not used for model training. That page records its own last update as March 3, 2024.

Model-call traces used for short-term debugging are kept for six hours by default, adjustable through LLM_REQUEST_TRACKING_RETENTION_HOURS. Suspended agent sandboxes are archived after a period of inactivity set by AGENT_SANDBOX_ARCHIVE_INACTIVE_DAYS, with a default of seven days. Audit logs moved in the opposite direction in v4.16.0: on expiry they are transferred to cold archive storage rather than deleted, since traceability, not prompt removal, is what that class of data is kept for.

Three boundaries are documented alongside the defaults. The API endpoint that clears conversations affects only conversations created through an API key, and does not clear those from web use or shared links. Automatic cleanup depends on background tasks that can fail; two such defects were fixed in earlier releases, so a request to delete and a completed deletion should be verified separately. For community self-hosting and commercial private deployment, retention and cleanup are governed by the deploying organization, and the environment variables provide adjustable controls rather than a compliance conclusion.

About FastGPT

FastGPT is an open-source AI application platform offering RAG knowledge bases, visual workflows, agent orchestration, Skill, MCP and multi-channel publishing, available as a cloud service, community self-hosted, or commercial private deployment. As of Sept. 3, 2026, the GitHub repository labring/FastGPT has 29,551 stars and 7,297 forks across 275 releases, with v4.16.2 published on Sept. 3, 2026. Repository: github.com/labring/FastGPT

By

TECNO POVA 8 Pro 5G Tonino Lamborghini Limited Edition features iconic Tonino Lamborghini design languages, while upholding the POVA series’ signature all-around performance from computing, imaging to AI.

HONG KONG, Sept. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — TECNO, the AI-driven innovative technology brand, today launched the TECNO POVA 8 Pro 5G Tonino Lamborghini Limited Edition. Crafted as an all-around high-performance device wrapped in distinctive design, it speaks to those who seek a life beyond the ordinary — driven by an unwavering passion for performance, uncompromised style and design excellence.

The POVA 8 Pro 5G Tonino Lamborghini Limited Edition answers this demand: iconic Italian design speaking strength and energy; a dual-chipset architecture delivering the speed; Sony sensors capturing vivid images, and an array of practical AI functions empowering users every day.

The collaboration, first announced in March, is driven by both brands’ desire to stand out through bold innovations. The multi-year partnership combines the best of both worlds: TECNO’s deep well of innovation, technical mastery, and intimate understanding of a new generation of users; as well as Tonino Lamborghini’s Italian craftsmanship, engineering and mechanical heritage, and an unmistakable lifestyle experience.

“Too often, phone makers choose the ‘safest option’ even at the loss of individuality. Meanwhile, TECNO is known to choose the road less taken with highly distinguishable designs and functions, revolutionizing the digital experiences of hundreds of millions,” said Jack Guo, general manager of TECNO. “The launch of TECNO POVA 8 Pro Tonino Lamborghini Limited Edition represents a defining moment for TECNO. With this model, we create not only a new product but a journey throughout the design, the interface, the configurations and even AI.”

“For over 45 years, I have translated the strength of my mechanical heritage and my eclectic vision into pioneering partnership, selected markets and products shaped by a distinctive idea of Italian lifestyle and an uncompromising personal spirit. With TECNO, we are proud to bring this vision into this category, where technology becomes more than function: it becomes character, identity and personal expression,” said Mr. Tonino Lamborghini, Founder and President of Tonino Lamborghini S.p.A. “The TECNO POVA 8 Pro 5G Tonino Lamborghini Limited Edition captures my bold spirit: precision, energy, craftsmanship and an unmistakable design attitude. It is not a style applied on the surface, but a character running through the product itself. Created for those who are not satisfied with ordinary technology, it is a smartphone with a story, with spirit and with a clear statement of lifestyle.”

Bold Design, in Every Layer
TECNO POVA 8 Pro 5G Tonino Lamborghini Limited Edition builds around the most unmistakable elements of the Tonino Lamborghini design: the black-and-red palette of charisma and energy; and a hexagon pattern of strength and endurance.

At its center lies the Pulse Line — the arresting visual focal point inspired by mechanical precision and the flow of kinetic energy.  Encircling it is the Signature Shield hexagonal pattern. Thanks to a dual-layer stacking process, the rear panel offers a refined reflective quality and includes countless internal mirror structures that refract and redirect light. As the phone rotates, red elements surface from and then dive into the light and shadows, as if raw energy flushes across the surface of the phone.

Between the two layers, a physical height difference creates genuine spatial depth, recreating the layered geometry found in mechanical designs. The Tonino Lamborghini logo, rendered in a premium metallic finish, anchors the composition as the testament of the aesthetics.

The boldness extends through the entire user experience. A bespoke interface theme reworks dozens of icons in a black-and-red palette with glass-like material effects. The boot animation unfolds with the Pulse Line and crimson energy. A customized “L” signature, part of the brand heritage, effect appears on the Alive Matrix Display with other pre-defined scenarios and customization options. The ringtone is also bespoke.

The model, meanwhile, is also unmistakably POVA with the trinity camera module. A dedicated One-Tap Button on the side provides instant access to favorite apps, customizable gaming actions, and quick shortcuts. At 7.39mm thin, the model hosts a 6,500mAh battery. Tests by TECNO show the battery operates normally from -20°C to 60°C and maintains over 80% health even after 2,000 complete charge cycles, or up to six years of battery life.

The sensor features 2×2 OCL (On-Chip Lens) technology, enabling faster and more precise autofocus even in challenging lighting conditions.

The Sony’s LYTIA™ 700C sensor also delivers a larger light-sensitive area and a clear advantage in night photography and low-light scenarios. The integrated OIS (Optical Image Stabilization) further reduces blur from hand shakes, making handheld shots sharper and video recording steadier.

For those looking for details, TECNO POVA 8 Pro 5G Tonino Lamborghini Limited Edition supports 2× lossless zoom and a dedicated 50MP high-pixel mode. In addition, it includes an 8MP ultra-wide camera for capturing expansive landscapes and group shots, and a 13MP front camera for selfies and video calls.

Bold Visuals, in Vivid Colors
A 6.78-inch 1.5K 144Hz HyperLux AMOLED screen with adaptive refresh rate balances performance and battery life. The DCI-P3 wide color gamut standard, used in Hollywood film production ensures faithful restoration of blockbusters on the screen. The peak brightness reaches 4,500 nits. With a 240Hz touch sampling rate and a 2,800Hz instantaneous touch sampling rate, the screen is also hyper-accurate and responsive, giving users an edge in both browsing and gaming.

Additionally, Wet & Oily Finger Touch Recognition 2.0 keeps the screen responsive even in heavy rain, with sweaty hands, or when hands contact fat, oil, or lubricants. You can also control your phone effortlessly inside a waterproof pouch while showering or enjoying water activities.

Bold Life, with Practical AI
The TECNO POVA 8 Pro 5G Tonino Lamborghini Limited Edition delivers practical AI functions for real-world benefits, from productivity to health.

AI YouTube Summary recognizes copied YouTube links and turns lengthy videos into clear notes with timeline markers, key points and structured summaries. All-Scenario Noise Cancellation automatically identifies the “voiceprint” of the intended speaker and filters out all other noises — including other human voices in the background. Users can switch among modes to adapt to their environment, from calls, recordings, to meetings, and ensure their voice cuts through the background noise of busy commutes or crowded offices.

AI LightMaster 2.0 enhances photography by removing unwanted flares, reflections, and shadows, ensuring photos are polished and ready for confident sharing.
