Machine vision financing continues, another company completes first round of financing

On August 4, "Angshi Intelligence" completed its first round of financing. This round A was jointly invested by Guosen Capital, Zhuoyuan Capital, and Songhe Capital.

Public information shows that Angshi Intelligent Technology (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Angshi Intelligent Technology") focuses on the research and development and production of high-end industrial machine vision inspection intelligent systems and other automated industrial products, and is a provider in the field of manufacturing automation. In terms of products, Angshi Intelligent Technology has launched 2D VT platform, Visionet Plus, 3D laser profiler, sensor, barcode reader, weighing equipment, and surface inspection equipment.

Data from Gaogong Robot Industry Research Institute (GGII) shows that the 3C electronics industry is the most widely used application field for machine vision, and has ranked first for many years in a row; followed by the automotive, semiconductor, lithium battery, and pharmaceutical industries. Among them, the lithium battery industry has seen significant growth in demand in 2021, and it is expected to be one of the main growth drivers of machine vision in the next 5-10 years.

Based on a comprehensive assessment of the market, in terms of application scenarios, Angsee Intelligence has launched overall detection solutions in multiple fields such as automobiles, 3C, lithium batteries, semiconductors, lasers, hardware, medicine, solar energy, etc.

For example, in the automotive industry, automotive connectors have high "technology + process" barriers, especially new energy vehicle connectors, which focus on electrical performance such as high voltage, high current, and anti-interference, and need to have good mechanical properties such as long mechanical life and resistance to vibration and shock in a dynamic working environment for a long time. Based on this, Angsee Intelligent launched the LP series 3D laser profilometer and 3DCloud vision system, which can realize the detection of various types of connector size, flatness, multi-point height, etc., to ensure reliable and accurate measurement results and meet various 3D application requirements.

In the lithium battery industry, lithium batteries will inevitably produce a series of unpredictable quality defects during the production process, such as protrusions, condensation, exposed foil, dark spots, and material drop defects on the pole surface, which seriously affect the performance and service life of the battery. With product advantages such as ultra-fast scanning rate, ultra-high precision, and wider field of view, the online 3D laser inspection system independently developed by Angshi Intelligent covers multiple process links from battery cells to modules, battery top cover welding inspection, battery cell appearance inspection, module welding, and PACK assembly. It creates a 3D visual overall solution for power batteries for lithium battery industry customers, helping lithium battery companies to achieve automated, intelligent, and digital production, improve source traceability, double efficiency, and maximize production profits.

In the 3C industry, in response to the ever-changing needs of the mobile phone manufacturing industry, Angsee Intelligence provides mobile phone manufacturers with comprehensive solutions for 2D vision, 3D vision and code reading detection needs, ensuring that a wide variety of detection such as detection, alignment, measurement, OCR, and one-dimensional and two-dimensional barcode reading can be handled in the mobile phone production process to meet the precise requirements of customers for various applications.

At present, Angshi Intelligent's cooperative customers include well-known companies such as CATL, Han's Laser, AVIC Optronics, Lingyi Intelligent Manufacturing, Amer International, BYD, Flystar, and Luxshare.

In addition to Angsee Intelligence, more and more players are beginning to enter the field of machine vision. As of the end of 2021, there were 854 machine vision companies in China, of which there are more than 400 domestic machine vision brands.

Among them, machine vision manufacturers represented by Entropy Technology, Tuyang Technology, Visionbit Robotics, Mekamind Robotics, Senard, Lingxi Robotics, Vision Science Robotics, etc. have always focused on the in-depth research of machine vision products and technologies, continuously meeting customer needs and providing customers with the most competitive products and services in the market.
