From June 26 to 28, 2025, Beijing Shougang Convention and Exhibition Center ushered in the Beijing International Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Emergency Safety Industry Expo. With the theme of "Focusing on Emergency Safety and Leading Industrial Innovation", the expo brings together the world's top emergency safety technology and equipment, and the intelligent remote control lifebuoy, as an innovative product in the field of water rescue, has become the focus of the exhibition.

With global climate change and the increasing popularity of water activities, drowning accidents are frequent, and traditional rescue methods face the challenges of slow response speed and high risk. The emergence of intelligent remote control lifebuoys provides a new solution to solve these problems. The equipment integrates remote control technology, artificial intelligence, Beidou positioning system and high-performance buoyancy materials, and has many core advantages. Its electric water jet propulsion system can make the no-load speed reach 5 m/s, and can quickly reach the drowning person in a few minutes, buying valuable golden time for rescue. Through remote control or mobile devices, rescuers can remotely and accurately control the direction and speed of the lifebuoy, and even plan the optimal path to easily adapt to the complex water flow environment. In addition, the intelligent remote control lifebuoy adopts a double-sided driving design, equipped with one-button return and automatic return functions for loss of contact, even if the signal is interrupted, it can return safely; The high-performance buoyancy material can carry the weight of an adult, ensuring that the drowning person can float steadily. Some models are also equipped with lighting and communication modules, supporting night rescue and real-time voice contact, which greatly improves rescue efficiency.

From the sea rescue in Weihai, Shandong Province to the emergency garrison point of the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge, the intelligent remote-controlled lifebuoy has shown important value in practical cases many times. In August this year, the Weihai police used the equipment to successfully rescue a 15-year-old boy who was swept into the deep sea area by an undercurrent, and the whole rescue process took only 3 minutes, avoiding the problem of manpower not being able to reach or the risk was too high in traditional rescue. In flood disasters, the intelligent lifebuoy can also be quickly delivered to the trapped person, and cooperate with drones to achieve air-ground coordinated rescue, significantly reducing the risk of casualties.

This expo has set up a special area for flood control and life-saving equipment, focusing on cutting-edge equipment such as intelligent lifebuoys, automatic inflation life jackets, and underwater robots. Exhibitors comprehensively demonstrated the actual combat capabilities of their products in complex waters through real-life simulations and technical roadshows. For example, the remote-controlled lifebuoy exhibited by a company has an ultra-long-distance control capability of 1,500 meters, with a battery life of up to 70 minutes, which can meet the needs of multiple scenarios such as lakes, rivers, and offshore; Another UAV lifesaving system equipped with a thermal imager can accurately locate drowning people at night or in murky waters, realizing the integrated rescue of "airdrop + monitoring".

According to market research institutions, the global smart remote control lifebuoy market will expand at a compound annual growth rate of 20% and is expected to exceed billions of dollars in 2028. The Asia-Pacific region is one of the fastest-growing markets due to its abundant water resources and developed tourism. During the expo, industry experts discussed "smart emergency response and water safety", and jointly discussed how 5G, artificial intelligence and other technologies can further empower rescue equipment and promote the development of the industry in the direction of intelligence, multi-functionality and environmental protection.

The Beijing International Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Emergency Safety Industry Expo is not only a stage for technology display, but also a platform for industrial collaborative innovation. The debut of the intelligent remote control lifebuoy marks that water rescue has officially entered a new era of "human-machine collaboration", injecting strong scientific and technological momentum into the global disaster prevention and mitigation cause, and is expected to save more lives and reduce the harm caused by drowning accidents in the future.
