Tianhe firm powers trail race with AI drones
The 2026 Tianhe 50 Trail race concluded at the South China National Botanical Garden, with Chengzhi Intelligence (CZI), a high-tech enterprise based in Tianhe, serving as the official drone logistics support partner.
Using its extensive experience in event support and advanced artificial intelligence technology, CZI provided comprehensive integrated services that illuminated the trail with cutting-edge technology.
The racecourse, which traversed vast areas of untouched forest, posed risks, including runners getting lost or injured. To mitigate these, CZI deployed drones equipped with C30N dual-light gimbal cameras (visible and thermal imaging) for continuous monitoring of key trail points. In emergencies, drones can quickly and accurately locate injured participants, using MP120 and MP130 Pro broadcasting systems to provide guidance and reassurance, significantly reducing emergency response times.
Addressing challenges like supply blind spots and emergency material delivery, the drones, equipped with TH4 payload release systems, facilitated precise point-to-point transport of supplies. This capability ensured rapid delivery of essentials, such as water and first-aid kits, overcoming the limitations of traditional manual resupply methods.
CZI specializes in the low-altitude economy and unmanned system security. By integrating air-ground solutions with AI, the company has developed comprehensive, intelligent security solutions for various industries and applications.
