The 12th International Hydraulic Technology Forum (IHTF) recently concluded in Berlin, drawing over 1,500 industry experts, engineers, and manufacturers from 42 countries—and YOONAD’s senior engineering team emerged as key contributors, sharing insights on energy-efficient hydraulic systems and forging partnerships with global innovators.
Focused on the theme “Sustainability and Precision: The Future of Hydraulics,” the forum addressed critical challenges facing industries ranging from port machinery to construction—sectors where YOONAD has established a strong track record. Dr. Li Wei, YOONAD’s Chief Hydraulic Engineer, delivered a keynote on “Intelligent Pressure Regulation: Reducing Energy Waste in Heavy-Duty Hydraulic Systems,” presenting data from the company’s latest projects.
“Traditional hydraulic systems waste up to 35% of energy through inefficient pressure control,” Dr. Li explained during his presentation. “Our adaptive pressure management technology, integrated with IoT sensors, cuts that waste by 22% while maintaining operational precision—a game-changer for clients looking to lower carbon footprints and costs.” The session sparked lively discussions, with representatives from European construction firms requesting follow-up technical workshops.
Beyond the keynote, YOONAD engineers led a panel on “Corrosion Resistance in Marine Hydraulic Applications,” drawing on their experience developing systems for coastal port equipment. They highlighted the company’s proprietary anti-corrosion coating technology, which extends hydraulic component lifespan by 40% in saltwater environments—resonating with attendees from maritime nations.
The forum also yielded tangible results: YOONAD announced a joint R&D agreement with Germany’s Hydrosys GmbH to develop next-gen hydraulic valves for electric construction machinery. “Events like IHTF aren’t just about knowledge sharing—they’re about building the collaborations that drive innovation,” said Sarah Chen, YOONAD’s Global R&D Director. For YOONAD, this participation reinforces its position as a thought leader in hydraulic technology, connecting its engineering expertise to the global industry’s evolving needs.
