Machine vision supplier Yi Siwei completed more than 100 million yuan of round B financing

[ Star Enterprise of Chemical Machinery and Equipment Network ] Recently, Yi Siwei announced that it has completed a series B financing of more than 100 million yuan led by Fangguang Capital and co-invested by Ginkgo Valley Capital and Beiyang Begonia Fund
.
Earlier in 2018, it received a round A investment of more than 100 million yuan from SDIC
.

 

Founded in 2016, Easy Thinking focuses on the R&D, manufacturing and application of industrial machine vision inspection products.
It is one of the earliest domestic machine vision suppliers that entered the automotive manufacturing field and obtained large-scale successful applications
.

 

Its headquarter is located in Hangzhou, with subsidiaries in Tianjin, Stuttgart (Germany), Troy (USA) and other cities
.
It is understood that the core team of Yi Siwei originated from the State Key Laboratory of Precision Testing Technology and Instruments of Tianjin University.
The current team has 320 people and more than 180 R&D personnel
.

 

　　In January of this year, after completing the acquisition of the old German machine vision company EHR, Yi Siwei began to enter the overseas market
.
At the beginning of 2021, Yi Siwei has obtained orders for online measurement equipment for Tesla’s new global production base, including orders from the Shanghai Super Factory in China, the Berlin Super Factory in Germany and the Texas Super Factory in the United States.
This is Yi Siwei A solid step taken in overseas markets
.
In addition, Yi Siwei has successively won projects in the Czech Republic, Poland and other places
.

 

　　It is understood that around the process requirements in the process of modern industrial intelligent manufacturing and intelligent operation and maintenance, Yi Siwei has launched visual solutions covering four types of applications: quality monitoring, visual positioning, size measurement, and content recognition, while ensuring the flexibility of the production line.
, To deeply integrate the data generated by the vision system with the process production data, and ultimately provide strong data support for the manufacturer to improve the production process
.
At present, easy thinking vision solutions have been widely used in high-end equipment fields such as automobiles, aerospace, aviation, rail transit and ships
.

 

　　Among them, in the field of automobile manufacturing, Yi Siwei has built and formed a series of standardized products for the four major processes of stamping, welding, coating, and total.
It successfully broke the long-term monopoly of foreign brands in this field and became SAIC Volkswagen, SAIC GM, The preferred supplier of most domestic mainstream automakers and parts factories such as FAW-Volkswagen
.

 

　　On July 15 this year, the FAW-Volkswagen T99 (the first) joint development project for automatic detection of paint defects went smoothly with SOP
.
In this project, Volkswagen and Easy Thinking jointly developed automatic robot inspection equipment, and completed attempts to localize equipment through the use of visual graphics and gradient algorithms.
During the epidemic, they completed the reinforcement of the robot foundation, the disassembly and renovation of old robots, and the use of old robots.
A series of work such as mechanical and chemical station transformation, installation and debugging of old robots, defect identification, quality debugging and optimization, make it possible to use machine vision to detect car body paint defects on site, and effectively break the foreign monopoly of automatic detection of paint quality defects.
The status quo
.

 

　　It is understood that before the Volkswagen Konzern system used foreign tunnel-type automatic inspection equipment
.
Through this cooperation, the application of paint quality defect detection technology will change the traditional manual first-inspection, second-grinding, and three-polishing paint surface quality defect processing technology.
At the same time, the new model of robot recognition will be applied to improve the defect detection rate and coating.
On the basis of the automation rate of the assembly shop, it provides a strong data foundation for the application of automatic grinding and polishing technology in the future
.
It is reported that the automatic detection project for paint defects will be promoted and implemented in the five major Volkswagen bases in the future
.

 

　　Qian Yu, managing partner of Fangguang Capital, the leading investor of Easy Thinking, said that with the continuous advancement of IT technology, industrial machine vision is accelerating its penetration into the 3C, panel, automobile, battery and other industries, and domestic companies are ushering in important development opportunities
.

 

　　After this round of financing, Yi Siwei will accelerate the pace of product development and market expansion, and further improve the machine vision product matrix for multi-industry applications
.
