At the beginning of 2001, in the leased workshop at Guanshaling, Hexi, Changsha, Sunward began to research and develop excavators in a very difficult environment. Without reference to any prototypes, it completely relied on its innovative advantages of electromechanical and hydraulic integration technologies to provide power, hydraulics, and control. The mature technology of several major systems, integrated innovation, and the effective combination of the development of excavators. This excavator won the first prize for the modeling and appearance quality evaluation of the Beijing Construction Machinery Exhibition in that year. Shanhe Intelligence also became the first private enterprise in China to produce excavators.

Shanhe Smart moved into the national-level Changsha Economic and Technological Development Zone as a whole and established a large-scale production base within the new industrial park. The operation of the production system gradually matured. Technically, it took the lead in introducing the KYB hydraulic system in 2002, and at the same time developed the earliest 8T excavator SWE80 in China.

Shanhe Intelligence was awarded the "863 Hydraulic Excavator Mechatronics and Manufacturing Informatization" major project, and the project passed the appraisal two years later.
year 2004
The company has developed a new product, SWE50, which is the first domestic YANMAR engine to solve the problem of raising the boom height during compound motion for the first time. It is the first domestic modern compact excavator that is completely in line with international standards. In the same year, the wheel excavator SWE100W was developed.

Shanhe Intelligent Excavator has achieved sales of more than 1,000 units, and it has opened the market in a comprehensive manner nationwide. The excavator's advanced technology and excellent product performance have won high recognition from the market. In June, the company's mini-excavator products obtained CE certification, entered the international market in an all-round way, and the export of its own brand of bulk machine made stringent demands on product performance and intellectual property rights in developed countries, such as Europe and the United States, becoming the first domestic excavator manufacturer to export to Europe. It also marks the performance of Shanhe excavator products reaching international advanced.

year 2006
Excavator sales exceeded 2,000 units, and eight models such as SWE30, SWE40, SWE50, and SWE70 achieved mass production. This year, in order to expand production capacity and further improve product quality, Shanhe Intelligence established the most modern and complete small-scale construction machinery production line of China's system construction at that time. Many well-known international companies in construction machinery can hardly achieve this. When internationally renowned companies such as Caterpillar and JCB visited the rivers and mountains, they highly appreciated it. This has also become a major highlight of Sanhe's intelligent excavator production.

In 2007
Excavator sales exceeded 3,000 units. Sanhe's export sales of excavators below 15 tons ranked first in China and accounted for 41% of China's export volume of excavators below 15 tons. In the domestic excavator brand, Shanhe Intelligence ranked second in sales volume, taking up 10% of the market share, and it became the “king of small digging†that was the real value of domestic exports. In November 2007, the Shanhe Smart SWE230LC and SWE330LC medium-sized excavators were successfully rolled out after one year of development. Among them, the SWE230LC is equipped with an independently developed energy-saving control system.

In April, the birth of Shanhe Smart SWE470 large-scale excavator attracted widespread attention. China Central Television News Network also reported this. This also marks that Shanhe's product research and development has once again leapt to a new level. At the same time, the intelligent excavator independently developed by Shanhe Intelligent Research Institute for three years successfully went offline. This is a high-end construction machinery product that has reached international advanced level in control technology and fills the gap in the domestic and international market of intelligent excavators. An important milestone in the intelligent development of equipment manufacturing.

In August, the first domestic engineered hybrid excavator was successfully rolled off the line at Shanhe Intelligent. The excavator reduced the emissions while saving energy. The overall energy-saving effect was more than 20%, and the noise index of the entire machine was reduced by more than 50%.
In the same year, Shanhe Intelligence was included in the list of equipment manufacturers of the General Armament Department of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, and Shanhe Intelligence has become one of the only two companies in the country to purchase excavators from the military. Shanhe Smart SWE360 excavator has installed troops and played an important role in flood relief.

year 2011
Shanhe intelligent excavator exceeded 5000 units. The successful selection of excavators in the world's top 20 marks the fact that Shanhe Smart Excavators has grown into a world-class brand name product.
Year 2014
China's first 90-ton hydraulic hybrid excavator (SWE900ES) grandly rolled off the assembly line. The release of this new product symbolizes that Shanhe Intelligence has made new breakthroughs in technological innovation and product development. It is worth mentioning that this product was also the largest tonnage hydraulic hybrid excavator in China at that time.
2015
The new miniature excavators SWE08B, SWE10UB, and SWE25U developed by Shanhe Smart were unveiled at the Intermat exhibition in France and were hailed as “the most beautiful excavatorsâ€.
