Welding Robot Summit Partner Enterprise Style ⑥: Boqing Technology's Crawling Welding Robot Industrialization Has Taken Another Step Forward

Beijing Boqing Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Boqing Technology") is a national key high-tech enterprise focusing on the research and development, production, sales of intelligent special robots and the development and application of automated welding overall solutions. The company is headquartered in Beijing Economic Development Zone, with a research and development and process center in Hefei, Anhui, a manufacturing base in Taizhou, Jiangsu, and Jiangsu Boqing Engineering Company.

On September 22, 2022, Boqing Technology announced the completion of a new round of financing of tens of millions of yuan, led by Woyan Capital and followed by Hefei Innovation Investment. Prior to this, Boqing Technology completed a strategic financing of nearly 100 million yuan from Sinopec in January 2022, completed A+ financing led by Triumph Ventures in August 2021, received nearly 100 million yuan in A round investment from Yida Capital and Jinshajiang United Capital in December 2020, and completed tens of millions of Pre-A round investment from Yizhuang Guotou and Zhongguancun Qihang Fund in December 2019.

Boqing Technology's products include trackless all-position crawling welding robots, building steel structure wall-climbing welding robots and pipeline welding robots. Among them, the trackless all-position crawling welding robot is a world-first product incubated based on more than 20 years of research by Academician Pan Jiluan, and is a National Natural Science Foundation of China Science and Technology Achievement Transformation Project (NO.50075037).

Since its establishment in January 2017, Boqing Technology has always adhered to the goal of promoting the development of large-scale structural welding automation in my country through technological innovation. Under the leadership of founder Dr. Feng Xiaobing, it has cultivated a professional R&D team with rich experience and strong independent innovation capabilities, and established an academician workstation composed of Pan Jiluan and several Tsinghua University professors and senior industry experts. The company has successively led and completed the drafting and formulation of several national standards and industry standards for welding automation, and is one of the few high-tech companies in the industry that has mastered multiple independent core technologies.

截至目前，博清科技已取得发明专利和软著近千项，其中无轨导全位置爬行焊接机器人完成多项863计划。核心知识产权已通过PCT，在欧盟、美国、俄罗斯、日本、新加坡等十多个国家和地区取得发明专利。

Boqing Technology's trackless and all-position crawling welding robot can be adsorbed on the surface of magnetic workpieces and crawl freely without laying tracks and manual guidance. It can realize all-position automatic tracking welding such as horizontal welding, flat welding, vertical welding, overhead welding, curved surface welding, etc. for large-scale structure on-site. It can achieve multi-layer and multi-pass welding, with beautiful weld formation, ensuring welding quality, improving welding efficiency, reducing costs, and improving working conditions for workers.

This series of products has six major advantages:

1. Real-time autonomous tracking of welds, no need to lay tracks or manually program and teach;

2. The robot system is designed in an integrated manner, making equipment transfer on site more convenient;

3. Junior welders can become proficient in the operation after two weeks of training, which reduces labor costs;

4. Welding process database records ensure smooth implementation of process requirements and reduce management costs;

5. High-strength long-distance continuous welding, beautiful weld shape, qualified and stable quality;

6. It can be used in all positions, horizontal, vertical and vertical, and face straight and curved three-dimensional surfaces to solve production tasks in multiple scenarios.

In the past few years, Boqing Technology has established industry-university-research cooperation with many famous universities and research institutes such as Tsinghua University and Nanchang University, and has established close cooperation with well-known enterprises in the industry such as PetroChina, Sinopec, and China Railway Construction. Boqing Technology's products have been applied in more than 20 specific welding scenarios such as storage tanks, spherical tanks, high-rise building frames and columns, and offshore equipment, and have been exported to countries and regions such as Singapore and Congo.

For example, in the oil and gas chemical industry, the automated welding of small and medium-sized storage tanks is a systematic project. Boqing Technology has created an integrated solution for small and medium-sized storage tanks, starting from the pain points of the entire process of tank construction, and optimizing the links such as unloading, enclosures, assembly, equipment configuration, wind protection, gas supply, transportation, root cleaning and grinding, and outputting an integrated solution for tank welding to solve the peripheral problems that affect robot welding and "pave the way" for the application of welding robots.

In the field of shipbuilding, Boqing Technology has created an integrated solution for shipbuilding automated welding, which covers both informatization and intelligence, and the informatization transformation covers the entire process of "components-sections-assembly-assembly".

In the field of building steel structures, among the integrated transfer and windproof welding robot systems launched by Boqing Technology, one product can solve the welding of both cylindrical and rectangular frame columns at the same time; the complete system solves the problems of robot equipment transfer, equipment rain protection, welding wind protection, etc. on site; the equipment is simple to learn and operate, and is equipped with welding technology, which can be quickly applied to projects.

In the future, Boqing Technology will continue to focus on six major areas: oil and gas chemical industry, shipbuilding, nuclear power engineering, energy and electricity, rail transit, and building steel structure, and is committed to growing into a leader in the crawling welding robot industry.

On October 28, the "2022 Welding Robot Technology and Application Summit" hosted by Gaogong Robot and Gaogong Robot Industry Research Institute (GGII) will be held at the Hilton Garden Inn Shenzhen Airport (No. 66, Hangcheng Avenue, Bao'an District, Shenzhen) . The summit is sponsored by [Megmeet]. The summit will invite professionals including welding robot body companies, welding system integrators, welding system supporting manufacturers, and terminal application companies to gather together for a unique technology and application discussion event. The 2022 Welding Robot Industry Chain TOP30 Awards Ceremony will also be held at the same time as the conference .
