36KR learned that Shenzhen Ant Factory Technology Co., LTD. (hereinafter referred to as “Ant Factory”), a flexible and agile manufacturing platform for industrial components, announced the completion of its Series C financing. This round of financing is led by Dachen Venture Capital, and old shareholders Shunwei Capital and Longteng Capital continue to invest.

Ant Factory said that with this round of financing will further improve the product matrix, and accelerate the construction of industrial parts flexible agile advanced manufacturing base.

Previously, 36 Krypton had reported Ant Works led by Longteng Capital, Taiji Industrial investment and investment, and old shareholder Shun Capital continued to increase the 100 million yuan round B financing. The continued investment of head capital also proves that Ant Works’ innovative model is further recognized.

Ant Factory is an innovative industrial Internet platform integrating Internet +, flexible agile intelligent manufacturing and supply chain services. The platform aims to build a modern manufacturing service ecosystem for online trading of massive industrial parts, intelligent manufacturing, and digital services for the automation equipment industry.

According to reports, since its launch in June 2017, Ant Factory has been deeply engaged in the field of industrial parts and components, and is committed to opening up the digital closed loop of the design layer, selection layer, procurement layer and supply layer for automation equipment enterprises to help accelerate the digital development of the manufacturing industry.

In the non-standard parts supply chain platform built in Ant Factory – non-standard agile intelligent manufacturing demonstration center, end users only need to upload 3D design drawing data, the platform can realize seconds of quotation, fast automatic process generation, automatic coding and tap CNC machining, the whole process is completed in 1 hour. In the whole process, only a small number of personnel are required to be responsible for the daily operation of the equipment, and the overall production line is highly intelligent, automated and digitized, thereby improving the procurement and transaction efficiency.

At present, Ant Factory has integrated nearly 10 million SKUs, supplying more than 100 categories and about 2,000 series of products. It includes linear motion, rotary transmission, fastening positioning, connection and installation, pneumatic drive, industrial frame, door parts, electrical and electronic, module electric cylinder, non-standard machine and other industrial automation parts. It mainly serves more than 20,000 enterprise customers in aerospace, military, mobile phone, new energy, robot, automobile, semiconductor, medical and many other industries.

Ant Works mainly serves customers through two core platforms:

Industrial parts one-stop procurement online mall (mymooo.com), based on 3D model online generation and mass model intelligent selection technology of industrial parts one-stop procurement platform, has been selected three times in the Shenzhen Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition excellence award;
Non-standard machine addition online customization platform (fb.mymooo.com), with the goal of “minute-to-hour manufacturing”, realizes digital agile intelligent manufacturing of non-standard parts based on industrial interconnection technologies such as 3D model feature recognition, deep learning quotation, intelligent process and coding, and cloud-to-end processing resource scheduling. Is the national Ministry of Industry and Information Technology project results transformation project.
Based on the continuous investment in AI capacity building and the accumulation of past industrial experience, Ant Works has created unique value for both the supply side and the consumer side of the extremely fragmented, million-SKU industrial automation parts market. On the one hand, AI algorithms and big data intelligence are used to empower millions of ant-level small and medium-sized manufacturing factories, and on the other hand, thousands of automation equipment integration manufacturers are linked to jointly promote the progress of digital agile manufacturing technology.

After continuous iterations and upgrades, Ant Works’ two core platforms can help corporate customers reduce procurement costs by 10% and reduce labor by more than 50%. By cooperating with Ant Factory, manufacturing enterprises can rapidly expand the service radius, give play to the advantages of the category, strive for excellence, and become professional manufacturers in the Ant Factory ecosystem.

Ant Factory has service institutions in Shenzhen, Dongguan, Foshan, Suzhou, Wuxi and Beijing, and strives to build two major manufacturing bases:

Wuxi manufacturing base, undertake the group’s non-standard machine accessories customized production tasks, with flexible agile intelligent manufacturing production line;
Dongguan manufacturing base undertakes the production tasks of group standard parts, aluminum profiles, electric cylinders, and has a group supply chain center.
Since the beginning of this year, with the technological breakthrough of a new generation of artificial intelligence, a new round of industrial reform has entered the fast lane, and for manufacturing enterprises, digital and intelligent transformation is a must for survival and development.

In the future, Ant Factory will continue to strengthen technology research and development and investment in artificial intelligence, big data and intelligent cloud computing, and work with upstream and downstream partners in the industrial chain to promote industrial upgrading, continuous innovation and breakthroughs. At the same time, in-depth research and development of AI price tools and factory intelligent matching system, to create a new digital system solutions, to achieve product standardization, accurate quotation, factory labeling, production automation, delivery transparency, supply scale, shorten the transaction cycle, improve the manufacturing efficiency of manufacturing enterprises, and help manufacturing enterprises speed up the digital development.
