From Vπ to the Industrial Expo, tomorrows unicorns showcase future technology

The 19th China International Industry Fair (CIIF) opened in Shanghai today. Themed "Innovation, Intelligence, and Green," the expo featured nine specialized exhibition areas: CNC Machine Tools and Metalworking, Industrial Automation, Robotics, New Energy and Electrical Engineering, Information and Communications Technology Applications, Energy-Saving and Environmental Protection Technology and Equipment, Energy-Saving and New Energy Vehicles, Scientific and Technological Innovation, and Aerospace Technology. The exhibition spanned over 280,000 square meters, hosting over 2,500 exhibitors from China and abroad, a record high.

By integrating technology into our lives and creating the future with wisdom, the achievements of technology companies in the Zhangjiang Hi-Tech Park were showcased at this expo, a feast of technology and the future.

At the 19th CIIF, a group of future "unicorn" companies, emerging from Vπ, captivated visitors with their impressive technological prowess.

The concept of "unmanned" technology is gaining widespread industry application.

Shanghai Boray Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd., recently named "China's Most Valuable Company for Investment" on the 2017 Venture 50 Emerging Companies list, appeared in the Zhangjiang exhibition area of the Industrial Expo.

This company leverages leading software and hardware technologies to create an intelligent drone operation system, including functional modules such as intelligent data collection and cloud-based big data intelligent analysis, to facilitate large-scale deployment. The company showcased a drone intelligent flight planning app that enables drones to autonomously fly within a planned area and collect data on demand, as well as a smart city visualization management system. This system rapidly builds realistic 3D city models, enabling remote calculation and urban planning based on true-to-scale dimensions, significantly shortening the traditional manual modeling cycle. The company plans to implement modeling-while-flying.

Notes Dynamic Minimalist Divider

Exhibiting company Youxun Intelligent Technology has become the only domestic company certified for drone inspections within Sinopec's Shengli Oilfield system and currently holds over 30 invention patents.

The company exhibited the DA-V6C, an electric hexacopter drone. Made of high-strength, anti-interference aviation materials, it's lightweight, foldable, and easy to carry, capable of safe flight in complex electromagnetic environments. It's used for power line inspection, maritime monitoring, police security, and photovoltaic inspections. It has a record of 30,000 kilometers of safe inspections with zero accidents and has been tested and certified by the China Aerospace National Inspection Agency. This model has already launched an integrated air-to-ground security monitoring system in China, based on drones and ground robots.

Artificial Intelligence Became a Hot Spot

Discussing the future of artificial intelligence and interacting with robots were highlights of the exhibition. The editor also met two startups on-site, both from the Vπ Zhangjiang Entrepreneurship Workshop @Naxian800.

Kunyun Technology is focused on the future of artificial intelligence. By equipping existing equipment with Kunyun's independently developed Rainman platform chip, it supports professional analysis at image acquisition nodes, supporting human judgment and reducing the risk of misjudgment. Its applications in smart cities, infrastructure monitoring, aerospace remote sensing, and other fields have already been initially validated in the market.

We learned on-site that the Rainman AI chip has been deployed on the COMAC C919.

Ruff Information (Ruff) is committed to addressing the challenges of developing and acquiring IoT applications. Its products, such as the Device Treasure and the Industrial Smart Gateway, are productivity tools for the industrial sector. Compared to traditional factory management, they are more intelligent, convenient, and rapid, reducing labor costs. Its intelligent demonstration of the Smart Gateway and Device Treasure are already in use in actual factories.

"Intelligence" shines everywhere in our lives.

Parking difficulties are a headache for every car owner.

Leveraging its independently developed core parking data algorithms and big data analysis capabilities, Xipark has become one of only three companies globally capable of monetizing parking data. This has enabled Xipark to evolve from a single city parking data operator to a provider and manager of smart parking services in China.

The independently developed parking system - RTPI, has been recognized as a national patent. It can check the available parking spaces in real time and enable self-service parking payment, reducing urban congestion and parking lot labor costs. It covers 20 cities across the country.

At the entrance to the "AI Artificial Intelligence" zone, established for the first time this year, a highly adult-like exoskeleton robot stands out. This AI product, resembling Iron Man, was independently developed and designed by Shanghai Fourier Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd., a company incubated and invested in by Vπ. The first prototype, the Fourier X1, was officially released in March of this year and is currently in clinical trials.

Comparable foreign products often cost over several million yuan, while this product will be priced at approximately one-third of that. If successfully marketed, it is believed to benefit even more people with paraplegia and hemiplegia, helping them walk again.

The participating companies embody the rapid growth of Vπ-partnered companies. In the future, Zhangjiang will be a place where innovation continues to shine, striding forward towards its strategic goal of becoming a world-class science city.
