On August 15, Shenzhen Keli Intelligent Sensing Industry Development Co., LTD., a subsidiary of Keli Sensing, officially signed a capital increase agreement with Shenzhen Bay Measurement Technology Co., LTD. (hereinafter referred to as “Bay Measurement”), completing the strategic investment in Keli. Also participating in this round of capital increase are well-known investment institutions such as Tongchuang Weiye, Fanchuang Capital and linear Capital of old shareholders.

Ai Enterprise Check shows that before Bay Test in December 2022, it obtained the angel round and strategic investment of linear capital investment.

It is understood that the strategic investor Keli Sensor’s main business is the development, production and sales of strain sensors, instruments and other components; Provide system integration and dry mortar third-party system services, non-stop detection system, unattended card intelligent weighing system, manufacturing artificial intelligence system, enterprise digital construction software development services, mobile asset management system, logistics sorting system, etc.

In recent years, the trend of sensors gradually expanding from the traditional industrial field to a wide range of Internet of Things industries, a new generation of autonomous vehicles, consumer electronics, smart cities, artificial intelligence and other fields is becoming more obvious. In its 2022 annual report, Keli Sensor revealed that it will promote strategic investments in sensors and the Internet of Things, accelerate group empowerment, and strive to create a “second growth curve.”

In order to promote the objectives of the plan, in July this year, Keli Sensing through its subsidiary Keli Intelligent Sensing and Shenzhen Liyi Technology Co., LTD. (hereinafter referred to as “Liyi Technology”) officially signed a capital increase agreement, completing a strategic investment of tens of millions of yuan in Liyi Technology. The main products of Liyi technology are spectral confocal displacement sensors and their applications Product.

In the same month, Keli Sensor officially signed an agreement with Shenzhen Point-link Sensor Technology Co., LTD., successfully completing the angel round investment.

From today’s point of view, the strategic investment in Bay measurement is the embodiment of the expansion of the layout of Keli sensing for the “second growth curve”.

Public information shows that Bay Measurement was established in 2020, is a high-end industrial sensor innovation enterprise with research and development and quality as the core.

After the completion of this round of financing, Baytest will further enhance its research and development strength, quality management capabilities and customer service capabilities, and Baytest will also be integrated into the intelligent sensing industrial park in Guangming District, Shenzhen by the end of 2023.

Relevant data show that in 2021, the global industrial sensor market size of about 20.6 billion US dollars, is expected to grow to 31.9 billion US dollars in 2026, 2021-2026 the market compound annual growth rate of 9.1%.

The market is broad, but China’s industrial sensor industry started late, and the high-end industrial sensor market has been occupied by foreign brands such as Keenshi, Omron, and Xike for a long time. Compared with foreign giants, most of the domestic industrial sensor companies lack research capacity, the technical foundation is relatively weak, and they are in the low-end market.

However, this also means that local industrial sensor products have a broad domestic alternative demand space. In addition, the state has also introduced a series of policies to support the development of strategic forward-looking areas such as basic electronic components, digital economy and sensors, providing a good policy environment and development opportunities for the industrial sensor industry.

The founding team of Bay Measurement are all from the world’s top 500 enterprises, and have been deeply engaged in the field of industrial sensors for more than 10 years. Aiming at the trend of “domestic substitution” of high-end industrial sensors, our team provides customers with a full range of sensor products and solutions, including precision measurement, safety products and general sensors, based on the rich experience and technology accumulation in optical models, optical design and laser control.

The main product series launched by Bay Test are as follows:

Displacement sensor: spectral confocal displacement sensor, point laser displacement sensor;
3D sensor: Laser contour 3D camera LS-1000/4000 series, structured light 3D camera SL series;
Industrial safety: four-level safety, compact, ultra-thin, universal, measuring safety grating series, electromagnetic lock security door lock;
Lidar: Collision avoidance LR-1000 series, single-line measurement LR-M;
Industrial sensors: optical fiber sensors, photoelectric sensors, proximity switches, slot switches.
Among them, in the 3D sensor product series, based on the principle of precision measurement triangle reflection, Bay Measurement has successfully developed 3D structured light cameras and 3D line laser cameras, which can cover different dimensions from line-surface measurement.

Specifically, the core devices of the 3D line laser camera are independently developed, such as the optical path system and the imaging chip, which have good imaging effects for different workpiece materials or field applications. The horizontal resolution of the chip is 3840 points, and the fastest scanning frequency is as high as 20KHz. 3D structured light camera, using self-developed calibration algorithm, can achieve sub-micron level measurement, the fastest 3D scanning speed 100H. The two cameras can achieve high-precision detection and efficient production, helping enterprises reduce costs and increase efficiency.

At present, our products and solutions are widely used in many industries such as 3C, semiconductor, new energy, automobile and traditional manufacturing.

Bay test public information shows that the company’s cumulative shipment of sensor products has reached 100,000 +, cumulative service customers 500+, including Foxconn, Ningde times, Lichun Precision, Dazu laser, BYD, Zhongchuang Xinhang and other well-known enterprise customers.
