China Suppliers Showcase Drone Light Show at Tianjin Tower: A Dazzling Factory Event with 800 Drones
On September 16, 2023, the 2nd National Vocational Skills Competition of the People's Republic of China commenced in Tianjin. To celebrate this occasion, EFYI Intelligent Control collaborated with Tianjin Tower (a landmark skyscraper in northern China) to present a groundbreaking drone light show. During the performance, a majestic Chinese dragon formed by 800 drones took flight, creating a mesmerizing spectacle of "A Dragon’s Dance Around the Tower" as it gracefully weaved around the iconic structure.
Technical Mastery & Innovation
This flight demonstration transcended conventional drone formations by overcoming significant technical challenges, with signal stability emerging as a critical hurdle. Ma Zhicheng, Testing Director of EFYI, explained that the technical complexity of circumnavigating the tower is immense. The team mitigated signal interference caused by the tower structure through optimized on-side network configurations and refined flight paths to address GPS interference.
Beyond these measures, the team meticulously verified every operational detail—from network architecture optimization to adjusting the dragon's spiral posture, trajectory, entry points, and altitude parameters. Over two months of intensive preparation, EFYI's cross-functional teams worked tirelessly, pursuing perfection through relentless innovation to conquer these technical barriers.
To achieve optimal artistic expression, the creative team collaborated with testing, operations, and filming units. Creative Planning Manager Zhang Haijiao noted that the priority was merging Tianjin Tower with Chinese cultural elements. The team meticulously refined the dragon's biomimetic design, particle trajectory effects, and lighting transitions to deliver a visually stunning experience that showcased the aesthetic synergy between architecture and drone technology.
The seamless execution required meticulous pre-event planning. Operations Manager Zhao Lichao noted that the team progressed from tests with small groups of drones to the final 800-drone performance. This one-take success in flight execution and real-time visualization reflects the cohesive collaboration of every EFYI team member, defined by safety, rigor, and professionalism.
"This extraordinary demonstration of technical mastery and artistic innovation stands as a testament to EFYI's collaborative spirit. True to its motto, EFYI delivers nothing but excellence."
