Jidong Equipment Says Cement Silo-Clearing Robot Still Under Optimization, No Mass Production Plan

Jidong Equipment (000856.SZ) said on September 16 in an investor relations response that its cement silo-clearing robot is still undergoing optimization and improvement, has not yet been finalized for production, and has no mass production plan at present. The company was replying to investor questions about the robot's progress, the development of its metallurgical solid waste business, whether that business could exceed its main operations, why a related development had stalled, and the absence of advantages in its dividend mechanism. The statement indicates the robot remains at an early stage; no commercialization timeline was announced. The company did not disclose technical details, expected certification timing, or potential applications beyond cement production, and offered no further explanation on metallurgical solid waste or dividend policy.
