Zhuhai's local innovative genes empower the trillion-yuan industry track

Founded in 2020, Xiaowei Technology (Zhuhai) Co., LTD. has achieved six years of rapid development. Its team has expanded from over 50 members at the startup stage to a professional team of more than 80 employees, and the office space has grown from two small offices in the early days to over 2,000 square meters. Rooted in the core industrial cluster area of Sanxi Science and Innovation City, the company has witnessed continuous growth in overall scale and comprehensive strength.

Unlike enterprises focusing merely on manufacturing or software services alone, Xiaowei Technology (Zhuhai) Co., LTD. has built a full-chain system covering intelligent hardware, AI algorithms, cloud platforms and scenario-based solutions. It delivers digital services via hardware carriers and drives continuous product iteration and upgrading based on scenario demands.

Wang Jun, Founder of Xiaowei Technology (Zhuhai) Co., LTD.

The integrated layout of software and hardware constitutes the most prominent competitive advantage of Xiaowei Technology (Zhuhai) Co., LTD. Wang Jun, Founder of the company, stated plainly that AI technology can hardly achieve large-scale implementation without hardware carriers. "Pure software interactive products fail to generate substantial commercial value, and the integrated development of software and hardware is the core long-term evolutionary trend of the intelligent IoT industry."

In his opinion, the industry is generally plagued by the separation of software and hardware. Most enterprises can only provide standalone hardware or software services. In contrast, Xiaowei Technology (Zhuhai) Co., LTD. realizes full-chain independent controllability. Its multimodal AI models and core AIoT chips are all independently developed without reliance on third-party technologies, enabling seamless data interconnection between hardware devices and cloud platforms at the underlying level.

The Xiaowei IoT System achieves seamless delivery within 15 days, supporting intelligent upgrading for 390 manufacturing enterprises

To address the difficulties in intelligent upgrading faced by traditional manufacturing enterprises, Xiaowei Technology (Zhuhai) Co., LTD. has launched lightweight and high-efficiency renovation solutions. Traditional manufacturers only need to adopt the company's self-developed core chips and connect to the mature Xiaowei IoT System to realize mass-production intelligent upgrading of products in as fast as 15 days. Compared with the industry's typical six-month independent research and development cycle, it greatly cuts enterprises' costs for intelligent transformation. Up to now, the company has helped more than 390 manufacturing plants nationwide complete the implementation of intelligent product upgrading.

Wang Jun admitted that compared with leading brands in the industry, Xiaowei Technology (Zhuhai) Co., LTD. boasts stronger platform compatibility and superior cost advantages. It enables interconnection of multi-category devices such as smart door locks, lighting fixtures, cameras and sensors, effectively solving the core industry pain points of poor compatibility and failed linkage between devices of different brands, so its products and solutions are applicable to a broader range of market scenarios.

While continuously delving into core technologies, Xiaowei Technology (Zhuhai) Co., LTD. has accurately targeted three mainstream sectors: the silver economy, single-person household economy and pet economy. Up to now, it has built multiple mature digital benchmark service projects in Zhuhai.

Among them, the Zhuhai municipal integrated security and fire protection platform and the municipal digital emergency management system are constructed and continuously operated and maintained by Xiaowei Technology (Zhuhai) Co., LTD. In the smart elderly care sector, Heyuan Pension, a high-end elderly care community in Zhuhai, has fully deployed the Xiaowei intelligent care system. Relying on millimeter-wave non-inductive monitoring technology, it realizes refined care including intelligent early warning for elderly falls, full-range monitoring of home security, and quantitative statistics of sleep and vital sign data.

In addition, many state-owned long-term rental apartments and commercial hotels in Zhuhai have adopted the intelligent management and control system of Xiaowei Technology (Zhuhai) Co., LTD. Through the linked management of smart door locks and water and electricity energy consumption equipment, labor operation costs are effectively reduced and operational efficiency is greatly improved.

The Innovation Secret of Xiaowei Technology (Zhuhai) Co., LTD.: High-quality Products Developed from Real Application Scenarios

"High-quality products are not conceived in the office, but cultivated in real scenarios," said Wang Jun. Over the years, Xiaowei Technology (Zhuhai) Co., LTD. has delivered numerous digital projects covering smart hotels, smart elderly care and smart industrial parks. Frontline teams have long been engaged directly with the market and end users to dig up massive real scenario demands and industry pain points.

To this end, the company has established a rapid iteration mechanism for scenario-driven product innovation, which feeds back problems and demands identified during project implementation to the R&D and product teams promptly.

In the smart elderly care scenario, the team noticed growing strong demand among the elderly for non-intrusive and safe care services. Accordingly, the company increased investment in research and development of millimeter-wave radar technology and AI algorithms, and developed intelligent products tailored for elderly care scenarios such as human fall detection sensors and breathing and heartbeat monitoring sensors. For smart hotel and smart community scenarios, as customers raised higher requirements for equipment linkage efficiency and intelligent interactive experience, the team further optimized the coordination performance of smart door locks, sensors and the AIoT platform.

"It can be said that every iteration and upgrade of the company's hardware products is backed by demands from real scenarios and real users," he stated frankly. Through a complete closed-loop operation of "project practice-demand accumulation-product iteration-scaled replication", the company has boosted the core competitiveness of its products and kept its offerings closely aligned with the market and end users. This is the key reason why Xiaowei Technology (Zhuhai) Co., LTD. can sustain vigorous innovation momentum.

The two-way integration of manufacturing and service industries has also profoundly reshaped the company's business model. In Wang Jun's view, the biggest change brought by the coordinated development of the two is that the enterprise has shifted from simply "selling products" to a diversified value model of "providing one-stop AIoT solutions".

In the past, traditional hardware enterprises only gained revenue from one-time product sales with relatively limited room for growth. Relying on coordinated development of software and hardware, together with value-added services including platform operation and maintenance, data analysis and customized solutions, Xiaowei Technology (Zhuhai) Co., LTD has built a long-term and diversified revenue system. Supported by this mature business model, the company has achieved multiplied growth in recent years, with its smart security and elderly care products ranking among the top in the industry in terms of market reputation and order volume.

Supported by hardware technology for scenario-based services and driven by market services for product upgrading, this closed-loop logic keeps fueling the company’s growth momentum. Looking ahead, Xiaowei Technology (Zhuhai) Co., LTD will keep increasing investment in AI R&D, upgrade intelligent hardware and platform systems iteratively, and build an overseas localized service system. Meanwhile, it will give full play to its leading role in the industrial chain to attract upstream and downstream supporting enterprises to gather in Sanxi Science and Innovation City, so as to further optimize the layout of the local IoT industrial ecosystem.
