2026 Bilibili New Year Gala (Stage Mechanics)— YZDITEC

Live event case overview:  

A turnkey stage automation for a three-ring aerial array on the Bilibili New Year Gala: 116 C1 performer-rated CNC hoists + synchronized automation console delivering repeatable, broadcast-grade multi-axis motion— millisecond synchronization, Pando 3D virtual rehearsal, broadcast-grade safety.

Challenge

Deliver perfectly synchronized, repeatable aerial choreography across 100+ axes for a live broadcast with zero tolerance for cue drift or performer risk.

Solution (products & approach)

• Hoists: 116 C1 performer-rated CNC hoists with closed-loop servo, dual brakes, load sensing, position memory and power-loss hold.

• Control: Single automation ecosystem (PC & BW consoles) running on a deterministic EtherCAT bus for millisecond trajectory alignment.

• Simulation: Pando 3D virtual commissioning to rehearse, validate and transfer show cues from simulation to live with fidelity.

• Operational tools: Director cueing, program playback, emergency stop, real-time monitoring and alarm logs for traceability and predictable commissioning.

Results / Impact 

• Controlled 100+ axes with millisecond-level synchronization.

• Instant, repeatable execution of director cues — high rehearsal → live fidelity.

• Reduced on-site trialing; broadcast-grade reliability and layered safety interlocks verified in live operation.

Technical highlights (quick bullets for engineers)

• Deterministic EtherCAT timing for multi-axis coordination.

• Closed-loop servo hoists with load sensing and position hold.

• Virtual commissioning (Pando 3D) eliminated many field iterations.

• Real-time diagnostics and alarm logs for post-show traceability.
