Recently, Zhejiang Kecong, A leading enterprise in China’s mobile robot control system industry, completed A round of financing of nearly 100 million yuan, and this round of financing was invested by Yuan Jing Capital. Core capital to strengthen core technology, this round of funds will be mainly used to increase research and development investment, accelerate product iteration and improve service quality, strengthen the company’s global marketing network construction.

Zhejiang Kecong is a mobile robot autonomous navigation control system overall solution provider, through the perception and reasoning technology, to further achieve: man-machine collaboration, man-machine collaboration and man-machine integration. The solution takes the autonomous navigation control system as the core, and three application platforms: robot design and application software platform, AI recognition, prediction, expert analysis software platform, and multi-agent management and control platform, which extend the coverage of mobile robot applications.
Its products support any mainstream navigation mode and chassis mode, enabling customers to build any kind of mobile robot. The experimental environmental accuracy of laser SLAM navigation was exceeded to ±1mm, and the Angle control was ±0.1°. Supporting unique secondary development platform, graphical application software, practical tool chain software, powerful scheduling simulation platform. Give customers the ability to build mobile robots quickly and freely.
Core technology research and development is the strongest endorsement of the brand. At the beginning of its establishment, Kecong focused on technology research and development, successfully developed the robot control core XCS with full independent intellectual property rights, solved the technical problems of “standardization, motion control, navigation algorithm, industrial reliability”, refined motion control, realized the full type of chassis support, systematic verification of functions, performance and scene applications.

Based on the self-research of core technology, the company began to enter the high-end, break the technological monopoly, extend the overall solution, and fill the domestic gap in the high-end market. In 2017, the company successfully developed China’s first professional mobile robot control system, and completed the global release of products in Germany, the source of automation. After the release of industrial vehicle mobile robot control system, Kecong began to enter the fork robot market, successfully entered the domestic leading forklift truck group, “China brain” broke the monopoly of foreign companies for the first time.

From 2019 to 2021, the company’s business began to continue to expand. Based on industrial vehicles, expand to the field of intelligent manufacturing. Algorithm technology breakthrough, to achieve 5mm high-precision navigation, product certification is complete, fully with industrial reliability. The industry version of the industrial manufacturing mobile robot control system released by it has obtained orders from a number of leading enterprises in the industry, and contract orders have continued to double.

It is worth mentioning that in 2022, Kecong completed a Pre-A round of tens of millions of yuan of financing led by well-known angel investment institution Dajing Venture and followed by Real Stone Capital, further accelerating technology upgrading and market expansion. To gain the favor of the capital market, technical advantages and strategic vision are indispensable. At present, Kecong focuses on control systems and deeply cultivates the domestic market, and its technology has been expanded from closed application scenarios to semi-closed application scenarios to low-speed unmanned driving.

In the construction of smart factories, the application of mobile robot technology to open up the whole factory logistics is the underlying foundation. Affected by factors such as industrial upgrading, technological iteration and innovation, demographic change and policy support, mobile robots are in the field of rapid development.

At the same time, with the modern manufacturing industry is evolving towards automation and intelligence, which puts forward higher requirements for logistics operation efficiency and automation level, and more flexible and efficient internal logistics solutions have therefore become urgent needs of the market. AMR plays a positive role in promoting internal logistics reform. In the field of industrial manufacturing, AMR has been widely used in automotive, 3C electronics, photovoltaic, medical, home appliances, food, warehousing and logistics and other industries, and the application scenarios are also constantly enriched.
