Author | Qiao Yujie Editor | Yuan Silai Hard Krypton learned that Shanghai Zhuizhi Engineering Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Zhuizhi Engineering") recently completed tens of millions of yuan in seed round financing, jointly invested by L2F Light Source Entrepreneur Fund, Shangjing Capital, and Yicun Capital. This round of financing will be mainly used for core product research and development, team building and market expansion. Zhuizhi Engineering was established in February 2024. It is a technology enterprise focusing on vertical industrial intelligence. It is also an enterprise transforming achievements of Shanghai Jiao Tong University and a strategic incubator of Shanghai Artificial Intelligence Research Institute. The company hopes to introduce artificial intelligence technology into industrial manufacturing scenarios to improve the automation and intelligence level of complex cornerstone processes, focusing on solving problems such as flexible production and a serious shortage of skilled workers in the manufacturing industry. The company's founder, Yuan Lin, once served as a business partner of Feixi Technology and promoted the company's growth into a unicorn; she previously served as the chairman/CEO executive assistant and group sales director of Huachangda, a listed intelligent equipment group. She had earlier led hundreds of millions of yuan production line projects in ABB China such as Changan Ford and Geely Automobile. The company's core team has dual benchmark attributes in technology and industry. In terms of material mechanism, Professor Li Zhuguo is a distinguished professor at the School of Materials Science and Engineering of Shanghai Jiao Tong University and is among the top 2% of scientists in the world. In terms of artificial intelligence, Dr. Cao Guangzhi was the chief scientist of Tesla Autopilot computer vision and the CTO of the domestic OEM intelligent driving team. He has profound technical and industrial accumulation in the direction of autonomous driving perception and end-to-end systems. Yuan Lin introduced to Hard Krypton that at present, traditional industrial automation has solved a large number of standardized and well-ruled production tasks. However, there are a large number of non-standard and highly complex process links in the current manufacturing industry. Traditional automation solutions that rely on preset rules are difficult to solve. This is also a key direction for the further development of the AI industry. Based on this judgment, Zhuzhi Engineering did not choose the general humanoid robot route. Instead, it focused on the material processing process links that play a cornerstone role in industrial manufacturing, using process scenes such as grinding and welding as the entry point. This type of process directly affects manufacturing accuracy, processing efficiency and product yield. It is also one of the current automatic
