Aqrose Technology, a Beijing-based company founded in 2017, emerged from the AI Lab of Tsinghua University. The company specializes in industrial artificial intelligence and machine vision solutions, primarily focusing on automating quality inspection and defect detection in advanced manufacturing. Aqrose’s technology is critical for industries that demand high precision and consistency, such as the electric vehicle (EV) battery sector, automotive, consumer electronics, semiconductors, logistics, and medicine. As a prominent industrial AI platform provider in China, Aqrose combines expertise in AI vision algorithms, embedded AI hardware, and cloud-based AI platforms to deliver solutions that enhance manufacturing efficiency and quality control.
Battery Technology
Aqrose Technology offers specialized AI-driven solutions primarily for the downstream segment of the EV battery industry, focusing on cell, module, and pack assembly and quality inspection. The company’s core technologies, AIDI (Artificial Intelligent Defect Inspection) and NexSight, utilize deep learning to perform automated defect detection, classification, and character recognition without requiring custom programming. This capability is vital for ensuring the safety, performance, and reliability of EV batteries.
AIDI is an industrial machine vision software platform enabling rapid model development and flexible deployment. It identifies surface defects, assembly errors, and contamination during battery manufacturing, which are critical for maintaining product integrity. NexSight, a cloud-based industrial AI vision platform, provides scalable AI computation, data aggregation, and remote management, supporting manufacturers in large-scale EV battery production.
Aqrose’s solutions support end-to-end automation in EV battery production lines, including robotic operation, inspection, and traceability. This allows manufacturers to scale production efficiently while adhering to stringent quality and safety standards. The company’s expertise lies in applying AI and machine vision to manufacturing automation rather than developing new battery chemistries or cell designs. By enhancing factory-level operations through smart automation, Aqrose enables the production of various types of EV batteries with improved quality and efficiency.
Investors
Aqrose Technology has successfully completed seven financing rounds, raising approximately $73 million in total as of January 2022. The company has attracted investments from several notable firms, including PowerCloud Venture Capital, InnoAngel Fund, Baidu Ventures, DCM Ventures, Legend Capital, Xiang He Capital, and Vision Knight Capital.
