CHINA DIECASTING 2026 | Day 2: AI-Powered LEAP Series Drives Smarter Die Casting

On July 16, 2026, YIZUMI booth (Booth No. A21, Hall N1) at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre draws a constant stream of visitors. On the large display screen of the LEAP380, position, pressure, and velocity curves are shown in real time. There is no need for repeated manual adjustments or constant parameter tuning. The machine analyzes the process, optimizes the settings and completes the job on its own.

The LEAP series and the Yi+AI die casting platform unveiled by YIZUMI both underscore the same strategic direction: the Company is evolving from a high-end die casting machine maker to an AI-powered end-to-end die casting solution provider.

01.「From Mold Trial to Operation & Maintenance: Explore "AI-Powered Die Casting" Through 5 Scenarios」

The LEAP380U's core performance is fully benchmarked against global top-tier standards. The Yi-Cast real-time closed-loop injection control technology ensures injection precision and repeatability, while the high-rigidity clamping system boosts overall equipment efficiency. But the bigger highlight lies beyond these hard metrics.

At the booth, LEAP380U, equipped with the Yi+AI die casting platform, showcases five major AI application scenarios covering the entire production process:

• Mold trial: The AI process engine intelligently recommends initial process parameters based on mold information, greatly shortening mold adjustment time;
• Stable production: AI mold protection and intelligent monitoring enable full data collection and real-time defect warning;
• High-efficiency production: Energy consumption visualization and intelligent mold heating technology reduce both mold preheating time and energy consumption;
• Intelligent service: AI expert diagnosis and a consumable parts management system convert passive maintenance into predictive maintenance, completing troubleshooting in a matter of seconds;
• Operational collaboration: The YI MOM system connects the entire process from order placement to final delivery.

These five scenarios all serve the same purpose: transforming die casting production from “experience-driven” to “data-driven.”

02.「 Yi+AI Platform: Turning Expert Know-How into Machine Intelligence」

These AI applications are only part of the story. The more important question is: Where do these AI capabilities come from?

A long-overlooked chronic pain plaguing the die casting sector: enterprises grow heavily dependent on highly experienced senior technicians. Their hard-won expertise is lost the moment they depart. What makes it even more challenging is that many of these “intuitive” judgments—such as how much to adjust the temperature or how fast to set the speed—are difficult even for experienced technicians to fully articulate.

The approach taken by the Yi+AI platform is not to have experienced technicians “explain things clearly,” but to have machines “see things clearly.” By continuously collecting production data, the AI performs background correlation analysis on each injection, each set of parameters, and each quality result, transforming “indescribable experience” into “computable functions.”

This marks the first time that die casting expertise can exist beyond individual experience and continuously evolve. The know-how of experienced operators is being transformed into machine intelligence—no longer confined to individual expertise, but captured by the system as shared, reusable knowledge.

03.「A Turning Point for the Industry. A New Benchmark Defined by AI.」

As hardware capabilities become increasingly comparable, the real differentiator is no longer how large your castings can be, but how intelligently you produce them.

YIZUMI’s answer is clear and resolute: retain valuable experience in the system with AI, and let machines make professional judgments for humans. This not only addresses the pressing challenges faced by die casting factories in recruiting workers and improving quality, but also marks a crucial transition for China’s die-casting equipment industry from “manufacturing” to “intelligent manufacturing.”

From now through July 17, YIZUMI(Booth No. A21, Hall N1) features a special “AI Process Engineer” interactive experience zone. We sincerely invite all industry peers to experience it in person, compare real production data with and without AI enabled, and see firsthand how "thinking" die casting machines make intelligent manufacturing easier.
