Author丨Ou Xue Editor丨Yuan Silai Hard Krypton has learned that "Sequence Technology", an industrial AI design and R&D solution provider, has recently officially completed the Series B financing of over 100 million yuan, and has received a total of more than 300 million yuan in financing. Investors include Shenzhen Industrial Investment, Heding Gong and old shareholder Yonghua Investment. The financing will be used for market development (including overseas expansion) and core model technology research and development. Setu Technology was established in 2020. Its product "ZeXing AI" is a design and R&D intelligent agent platform for hardware engineering based on self-developed industrial world models and natural language large model packaging. It provides intelligent generation functions of 3D design plans and 2D engineering drawings under a cloud architecture. Founder and CEO Wu Yongrong holds a doctorate in advanced manufacturing from Tongji University. He was a researcher at General Advanced Manufacturing Laboratory and an expert in intelligent manufacturing of NIO. Compared with last year, the original two product lines of 3D generation and 2D generation have undergone in-depth agent upgrades. At present, the 3D Agent based on geometric AI and the 2D Agent based on manufacturing AI have completed technological transformation and quickly helped engineer users create greater value. Physical AI, which connects geometric AI and manufacturing AI, has also been put into technology research and development and POC verification stages. In fact, physical AI is not a unique concept in the field of embodied intelligence. Physical AI that combines industrial mechanisms to perform industrial-level accurate solutions to specific physical fields is equally important. Wu Yongrong explained the internal logic of this evolution to Hard Krypton: "We want to create a universal AI portal for hardware engineering. Users tell the AI requirements, and AI executes them in three steps - geometric AI first designs a precise geometric shape according to the requirements, then physical AI solves the physical properties of this geometric shape such as strength, stiffness, flow field, and magnetic field, and finally manufacturing AI determines its manufacturability." In terms of performance, the contract value of Setu Technology in the first half of this year increased by about 70% year-on-year, and the full year is expected to be close to 200 million yuan, nearly double that of last year. The RAAS (Result as a Service) delivery model has become an important growth engine, accounting for approximately 1/3 of annual revenue. At present, AI products have been used in automobiles
