Recently, the 2026 International (Wuhan) Intelligent Construction Industry Expo was held in Wuhan, central China's Hubei Province. More than 230 organizations from government, industry, academia, research institutions and end-user sectors gathered at the expo, showcasing more than 1,400 innovative achievements.

CSCEC showcased a range of innovative technologies and benchmark projects.

Its EI-MC modular building system uses factory-prefabricated room modules, which are hoisted into place and stacked layer by layer like building blocks. A standard floor can be assembled in just one day, with construction precision reaching the millimeter level.

CSCEC also showcased its home intelligent agent, which uses environmental sensors, millimeter-wave radar and other sensing devices to collect data on indoor conditions and residents' behavior. Based on residents' daily habits, it proactively adjusts indoor temperature, humidity and lighting. It also sends immediate alerts when a fall is detected and automatically shuts off the relevant valves in the event of water or electricity leaks, creating an around-the-clock safety system for the home.
