It is the only enterprise in the world that has independent intellectual property rights and can provide a full range of laser ultrasound, cold cathode nondestructive testing and other technologies as all-round nondestructive testing solutions for industrial systems. Zhongke Yingde has been leading the development direction of the world nondestructive testing industry, opening up new fields and developing new markets with safer, more convenient and more effective innovative technologies, and taking going global as the development goal of the enterprise.

The green passage of expressway refers to a safe, fast and convenient passage that sets up a special passage at the expressway toll station and implements preferential policies for fresh agricultural products vehicles. From 2005 to 2023, the Ministry of Communications, the State Council, the Ministry of Finance, and the National Development and Reform Commission successively issued a series of notices on the implementation plan for the construction of a "green channel" for the circulation of high-efficiency fresh agricultural products nationwide, carrying vehicles that meet the requirements of the green channel catalogue. After testing by the road department, those vehicles with a loading rate of more than 80% can enjoy the green channel preferential policies given by the state for the free passage of relevant roads.

In October, 2021, the Road Network Monitoring and Emergency Disposal Center of the Ministry of Transport issued the toll road network toll reservation service regulations, which clearly pointed out the inspection methods using digital automatic inspection equipment. It is planned to gradually establish a standardized inspection system for the green passage of fresh agricultural products transportation, which is mainly based on automatic inspection and supplemented by manual inspection.

At present, the main detection method of Green Pass in local transportation departments is still manual detection by toll station staff, which has various thorny problems such as low efficiency, high risk, large deviation, great controversy, easy collusion and evasion of fees, high complaints, etc. Although there are pilot projects of digital automatic inspection equipment in some areas, there are many problems due to its technical principle defects, so it is impossible to further promote it. This situation not only affects the concrete implementation of the national policy of benefiting the people, but also has a negative impact on the reputation of the traffic management department, and has also caused considerable long-term economic losses to the country.

Therefore, for many years, the relevant state departments have been in urgent need of more advanced digital automatic detection equipment, and need better innovative technology to bring safer, more efficient and more reliable system solutions for the rapid detection project of Lutong.

Based on its own intellectual property rights, Zhongke Yingde independently developed and completed the world’s first set of special equipment for cold cathode nondestructive testing, and took the lead in using the world’s most advanced innovative cold cathode nondestructive testing technology to produce a green channel rapid detection system. By subverting the generation principle of hot cathode nondestructive testing, it has solved and improved many original problems such as safety and efficiency. Compared with traditional hot cathode nondestructive testing products, it has many revolutionary advantages: safer, smaller, lighter, energy-saving and efficient.

Because it adopts advanced digital pulse technology, it has the advantages of fast response, little external influence and more safety and reliability. For inspection workers and logistics drivers, it is a safer and more efficient innovative nondestructive testing technology. The product adopts digital image analysis system, and the test results are more convenient and faster than traditional manual inspection, and less controversial, and it is energy-saving, electricity-saving, green and environmental-friendly, instant detection and instant results, which makes the rapid detection process of Lutong faster, more efficient and safer!

Zhongke Yingde’s new generation cold cathode nondestructive testing technology can better solve many technical pain points and social concerns that the transportation department has been most concerned about for a long time, and has good economic and social benefits.

Zhongke Yingde’s innovative cold cathode nondestructive testing technology has been revolutionized and improved in many important aspects, such as safety and reliability. In the future, it can be further iteratively enhanced through continuous development, such as enhancing penetration function, multi-angle stereo imaging function, AI intelligent identification function, big data analysis, etc., so that Zhongke Yingde’s Lutong series products have the ability to continuously iterate and upgrade, and always walk in the innovative frontier of nondestructive testing technology development.

China has the largest highway mileage in the world, and traffic control departments around the world generally have a great demand for the rapid detection products of Lutong. With the gradual promotion of the rapid detection products of Lutong, it will save the country tens of billions of road toll losses every year, and also bring opportunities for enterprises to further practice innovative scientific and technological development.

In January, 2024, Shandong Expressway first started the pilot work of the rapid detection project of Lutong. The first batch of 825 toll stations in Shandong Province are planned to be renovated, and the Ministry of Communications plans to gradually promote them to the whole country from 2024. There are nearly 50,000 pairs of toll stations in the country that need to be installed step by step, and the products are forcibly replaced every five years. The market scale of Lutong rapid detection products is about 40 billion yuan every year. At present, the transportation departments of several provinces plan to join this year’s promotion. At present, the summary of the order intentions of the transportation departments of various provinces is close to 4,000 sets, worth nearly 8 billion yuan.

The completion of the research and development of expressway Lutong rapid detection project is a milestone in the growth history of innovative cold cathode nondestructive testing technology of Zhongke Yingde, which is also another major application field of cold cathode nondestructive testing technology with independent intellectual property rights of enterprises after entering aerospace, semiconductor industry, nuclear power, state grid, shipbuilding, medical care and other fields, and it is an industrial iterative revolution of hot cathode nondestructive testing technology. Let the independent intellectual property rights and world-leading nondestructive testing equipment for cold cathode industry be further promoted and popularized, and use innovative technology to solve the original problems, which is of great positive significance and good social benefits to help China further upgrade from an industrial manufacturing power to an industrial manufacturing power!

The delivery of the quick testing project of Zhongke Yingde Lutong will have the opportunity to make China’s cold cathode nondestructive testing technology walk in the forefront of the world from technical principle, patent invention, practical application and commercial value, and will have the opportunity to completely change the face of the world nondestructive testing technology and the pattern of the industry market in the future!

Zhongke Yingde’s cold cathode nondestructive testing products not only reflect the wisdom of all things, but also the development of the enterprise itself, and it will be a beam of hope for the world, which will make Chinese people proud in the future! Looking forward to the future road of innovation and development, the prospect of cold cathode nondestructive testing products is infinite!
