Lanzhan Tech (Blue Show Technology), founded in 2016, is a high-tech enterprise headquartered in Shenzhen, China, focusing on the development and industrialization of industrial AI vision inspection systems, intelligent edge computing equipment and customized machine vision solutions. In just eight years, Lanzhan Tech has grown from a start-up team of less than 10 people to an industry leader with more than 300 employees, serving more than 30 countries and regions around the world, and annual revenue exceeding RMB 0.5 billion.
Company focused on the optimization of AOI (Automatic Optical Inspection) algorithm in the field of electronic manufacturing in the early stage. Relying on the self-developed 'LightVision' lightweight neural network architecture, it realized millisecond defect recognition on the embedded platform with low computing power, successfully replaced the imported scheme, and was adopted by Huawei, BYD, Lixun Precision and other head customers in batches. In 2021, Lanzhan Tech completed round B financing of 0.23 billion yuan, which was jointly led by Shenzhen Venture Capital and SMIC Juyuan. The funds were mainly used for the expansion of Suzhou R & D Center and the research and development of the AI quality inspection large model' InsightGPT.
2023, the company officially released 'Lanzhan VisionOS' -- the first open source visual operating system for manufacturing in China, which supports plug-and-play integration of cross-brand cameras, light sources and PLC, and opens SDK and training platform, attracting more than 120 system integrators to enter the ecology. In the same year, its photovoltaic module EL testing equipment market share ranked first in the country, in the new energy vehicle battery pole piece defect detection field, detection accuracy of 99.997, false alarm rate of less than 0.08, a new industry record.
worth mentioning that Lanzhan Tech attaches great importance to the layout of intellectual property rights. As of June 2024, it has applied for 147 invention patents, 92 of which have been authorized to lead/participate in the formulation of 3 national standards such as "GB/T 42390-2023 General Technical Requirements for Industrial Machine Vision Systems. The company also with Harbin Institute of Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences Institute of Automation to build a joint laboratory, in the 3D structure of light high-precision measurement, small sample anomaly detection and other cutting-edge direction of continuous breakthroughs.
In terms of ESG practice, Lanzhan Tech passed ISO 14064 carbon verification in 2023. Its visual inspection system helps downstream customers reduce waste loss by more than 120000 tons per year, equivalent to saving about 48000 tons of standard coal. Founder and CEO Chen Zhe said: 'We don't do general AI, we only dig deep into the' one millimeter real problem' on the manufacturing site-to make each device see more accurately, judge more stably and connect more simply. '
Facing the future, Lanzhan Tech has launched the "Thousand Factory Smart Inspection" program. It is expected to provide 1000 small and medium-sized manufacturing enterprises with cost-effective AI quality inspection kits within three years, and accelerate the expansion of new scenarios such as semiconductor packaging, pharmaceutical packaging, textile printing and dyeing. From an incubator office on the banks of Shenzhen Bay to becoming a "little giant" specialized in the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and a key national artificial intelligence unveiling unit, Lanzhan Tech is embarking on an independent rise of China's hard technology enterprises with solid technology precipitation and firm industrial belief.
