Unusual subdivision robot company completes the PreA round of financing, and is a senior executive of listed company who goes overseas to start a business

Recently, architecture robot The company Fengtan Robot announced that it had completed the ten million level PreA round of financing. This round of financing was exclusively invested by Kunzhong Capital, and the funds will be used for product development, manufacturing and commercial promotion.

As an infrastructure maniac in China, as early as 2021, the gross output value of the construction industry has reached 29.3 trillion yuan, and maintained an annual growth rate of about 10%. It is estimated that 10 years later, it will be close to 50 trillion yuan, and there will be a gap of tens of millions of construction workers. It is an irreversible trend to use automation to solve the "brick moving" problem. According to the forecast data of China Research Network, the global intelligent building market size will be 67.6 billion dollars in 2021, which is expected to exceed 320 billion dollars in 2029.

Fengtan Robot was founded in May 2022. Its founder, Li Zike, has more than 10 years of experience in the construction information industry. He used to be the deputy general manager, chief marketing officer, general manager of the construction business unit, general manager of the BIM business unit and other important positions of the technology innovation board listed company Pincha Technology. It is reported that its construction safety calculation software, which is involved in research and development and commercial operation, currently has the first market share in this field.

Pinming Technology (688109. SH) is a provider of digital construction technology and products. Its business covers digital cost, construction software, BIM software, smart construction sites, digital intelligence enterprises, digital supervision, digital education, artificial intelligence, etc. It is a national high-tech enterprise and a key software enterprise in the national planning layout. Its R&D investment in the past three years exceeds 27% of the total expenditure.

On the evening of July 4, 2022, Tea Share announced that Mr. Li Zike applied to resign from the position of Deputy General Manager of the Company for personal reasons and would no longer hold any position in the Company after his resignation.

It is understood that the founding team of Fengtan Robot has gathered senior technical experts from leading enterprises in the control field such as Central Control, Guozi, Gaoxian, etc. The core team members have more than 15 years of experience in the field of building informatization, and have both building informatization and robot technology backgrounds.

Indoor with putty and latex paint Spraying robot It is the main business source of Fengtan Robot at present, with tens of millions of customer orders and more than 20 project applications. Robots use 3D point cloud, artificial intelligence and other technologies to integrate the construction technology of traditional workers digitization And integrated into the robot's process library.

A construction worker can finish the putty construction of 80-100 square meters in a day, but the indoor spraying robot can speed up 8-10 times! In addition, the robot can accurately adjust the amount of materials and spray evenly, which can save 20% - 25% of the material cost. This makes the construction robot expensive, but it is still considered to be a powerful tool for cost reduction and efficiency increase.

Prior to this, some engineering equipment companies around the world also laid out the construction robot track, such as the CAT pile robot launched by Caterpillar, the world's largest manufacturer of construction and mining equipment, for tasks such as digging and piling; Hadrian X bricklaying robot developed by Fastbrick Robotics can be used for automatic bricklaying to accelerate the process of building walls; The Semi Automated Mason bricklaying robot invented by Construction Robotics is also used to automatically perform bricklaying tasks.

However, construction robots have not been popularized in the industry, and high initial investment and maintenance costs are the main obstacles to the introduction of construction robots. The start of Fengtan Robot's financing is a new starting point for domestic construction automation. It is expected to increase the application scenarios of construction robots and create a mature ecological chain of construction robots after years of development.
