Times Electric Says Shanghai Aisendi Developed Heavy-Duty Subsea Chain Trenching Robot

Times Electric (688187.SH) said on Nov. 11 via its investor interaction platform that Shanghai Aisendi is targeting the practical demand for trenching and cable laying on hard seabeds. Shanghai Aisendi has developed a heavy-duty subsea chain trenching and laying robot, which the company says can be widely used in offshore wind and marine communications construction. The design is intended to address cable installation challenges in hard-seabed conditions, where conventional tools may face limited efficiency. By combining heavy-load chain trenching with cable-laying functions, the robot aims to support subsea construction operations in offshore energy and communications projects. The company did not disclose further technical specifications or deployment timelines.
