In recent years, millet in the field of robots can be said to be frequent. Robots have been in Xiaomi’s sights since 2015. From the earliest investment in Stone Technology, to the recent years of Love magnetic Technology, Longshen robot, Faao robot, Beixing Photonics, Huiling Technology, Luoshi robot, High vision technology and other enterprises, Xiaomi’s investment scope covers robotics and automation, factory digitization, high-end equipment, core devices and other fields.

In addition, millet also bet on the field of service robots, such as Shu Rui robot, pursuit robot, Yushu robot and so on. Taking Zorui Robot as an example, it is a high-tech enterprise committed to independent research and development, production and sales of single-porous universal minimally invasive endoscopic surgery robot system. At the beginning of 2019, the first round of financing of Zhurui was led by Lei Jun’s Shunwei Capital, and then Shunwei Capital continued to raise money in the B FC-GMMD16 and C rounds.

In order to further increase the robot track, on April 21 this year, Xiaomi invested 50 million yuan in Beijing to set up Beijing Xiaomi Robot Technology Co., LTD., which also attracted a lot of attention from the industry.

From the perspective of robot products, Xiaomi not only launched the four-legged robot CyberDog, but also vigorously developed the humanoid bionic robot Cyberone.

Xiaomi’s frequent bets in the field of robotics also reflect its long-term optimism about China’s intelligent manufacturing. Previously, Li Rui, partner of Shunwei Capital, said that intelligent manufacturing is a future investment trend.

At the same time, Li Rui believes that: “China’s industrial intelligent decision-making market is still in the early stage of development, with broad space for development.” As the level of digitization and automation of industrial enterprises continues to improve, industrial enterprises have put forward higher requirements for intelligent decision-making.”

FC-GMMD16 To this end, in early March this year, Shunwei Capital led the investment of a professional industrial software developer, Gu Dou Technology. It is understood that Gudou Technology focuses on resource optimization decision-making business, to create high-quality standard software that is sustainable to adapt to customer business development as its core competence, and is committed to building a resource intelligent optimization collaborative platform from enterprise to industrial level, and even ecological level. The core software is composed of one platform and multiple models. Based on the high abstraction of the business field, combined with advanced technologies such as operations research and artificial intelligence, it can improve the collaborative efficiency of enterprises and even the industrial chain, solve intelligent decision optimization problems in different scenarios, and finally achieve the FC-GMMD16 goal of intelligent optimization and collaboration of global resources.

On March 23, the enterprise check information showed that Shenzhen Dazu Precision Transmission Technology Co., Ltd. had an industrial and commercial change, and the new Beijing Millet Wisdom equity Investment Fund partnership (limited partnership) and Hubei Millet Changjiang Industry Fund Partnership (limited partnership) were shareholders. It is understood that Dazu precision transmission was established in 2015, the legal representative is Liao Delin, the registered capital of 143 million yuan, the business scope includes transmission system, precision reducer, robot system, non-standard automation equipment, mechanical and electrical integration equipment technology development and sales.

Xiaomi’s diversified layout in the industrial robot industry chain is not only about the huge scale of China’s manufacturing industry, or its own demand factors.

Under the trend of intelligent manufacturing transformation, intelligent manufacturing enterprises want to maximize production efficiency, and they need to create a digital and intelligent smart factory to cope with uncertain external environment changes. Xiaomi is naturally no exception, for which it has built the Xiaomi Smart Factory.

Xiaomi’s smart factory is a “black light factory” that can realize the production management process, mechanical processing process and packaging storage and transportation process of the whole plant. At present, Xiaomi’s foreign-invested Luoshi robots and Huiling Technology robots are already working in smart factories. By carrying visual recognition, Luoshi robot completes the automatic detection and loading of mobile phone chips, which helps the self-assembly, testing and packaging of Xiaomi mobile phones. Huiling Technology uses Z-Arm series collaborative robots with integrated drive and control design without external control box, which can greatly save equipment space and is used in the assembly of Xiaomi mobile phones.

On May 11 last year, Lei Jun, founder, chairman and CEO of Xiaomi, said in his personal microblog that the second phase of Xiaomi Smart Factory is expected to start production at the end of 2023, with an annual output of 10 million high-end mobile phones. It is understood that the second phase of Xiaomi Smart Factory officially started in July 2021 in Changping District of Beijing, is the second smart factory focused on the construction of Xiaomi Group, covering an area of 58,300 square meters, will implement the second generation of mobile phone smart production line including SMT, board testing, assembly, machine testing, finished product packaging and other whole processes, is expected to produce 10 million smart phones. Its output value is about 60 billion RMB.

As China’s manufacturing industry gradually enters the deep water area of transformation and upgrading, it is foreseeable that robots will have a very large market in the future. From Xiaomi’s series of investment actions, it can also be seen that Xiaomi’s choice is a cutting-edge technology track with real long-term value, not only from Xiaomi’s accurate judgment of technology trends, but also in line with Xiaomi’s long-term concept of “taking advantage of the trend”. This investment in light rain wisdom, millet in the industrial robot map is another “son”.
