Yingke learned that Kunshan Nabowang Precision Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Nabowang") recently completed a Pre - A round of financing, raising 25 million yuan. The investment was jointly made by Jinyu Maowu, Zhongxin Capital and related parties, Jiuhe Shenhong, and Guotai Junan Innovation Investment. The funds will be mainly used for R & D investment, overseas and domestic expansion, and team building.

Nabowang was founded in 2018 and its headquarters is located in Kunshan City, Jiangsu Province. The company's founder, Tom, once served as a senior executive and the general project leader of a well - known foreign company in the field of industrial automation globally. After more than twenty years of in - depth accumulation in the field of industrial automation, he has a solid technical background, rich management experience, and keen market insight.

Currently, the company has built a complete product system covering core components to whole - line systems around the magnetic levitation flexible rail transmission system, achieving a "hardware - software integration" design. The company has made breakthroughs in the full - stack technology R & D of the magnetic levitation conveying system and has mastered core technologies including drivers, encoders, controllers, and wireless power supply systems. Many of its magnetic drive and air - floating technologies are at the global leading level, and its comprehensive strength ranks among the first echelon in the industry. Among them, the leading wireless power supply (FRT) technology has become the company's most competitive differentiating advantage.

The magnetic levitation flexible conveying line is a new - generation industrial conveying line that uses non - contact magnetic drive technology. Through motion control algorithms, it can independently control multiple moving carriages to achieve synchronous or asynchronous flexible transmission, meeting the complex transmission needs of various intelligent manufacturing application scenarios. It has been widely used in industries such as lithium - battery, 3C, automotive, and pharmaceutical industries.

MIR Rui Industry predicts that the industry will enter a new growth period in the next five years. By 2029, the market size is expected to exceed 11 billion yuan, mainly driven by the demand side: First, the growth of key industries themselves, such as the transformation of the power sector driving the demand for energy - storage batteries and the development of AI driving the demand for consumer electronic devices; Second, the increasing penetration rate in existing application industries such as batteries, 3C, automotive parts, pharmaceuticals, food and beverages, daily chemicals, photovoltaics, and liquid crystals; Third, the penetration of potential applications in new industries, such as semiconductors, complete automobiles, and warehousing and logistics.

During an interview, the company's founder, Tom, said that the key to the company's product strategy lies in three points: First, master the key technologies of core components and build an application - oriented product chain for the entire industry; Second, achieve hardware - software integration with software as the core competitiveness; Third, with magnetic levitation as the axis and applications as the network, create an intelligent manufacturing solution of "one axis, one network, and one ecosystem". Tom pointed out that the two major challenges faced by the magnetic levitation system in large - scale applications are cost control and the convenience of customer applications. Software is the key to solving these problems. The control and debugging capabilities of software directly determine the applicability and cost - effectiveness of the magnetic levitation system. Therefore, Nabowang takes software as its core competitiveness and is committed to improving the system's user experience through optimized software control and rapid debugging.

In the longer term, the role of the magnetic levitation flexible transmission line in intelligent manufacturing will become increasingly important. Tom said that the future form of industrial manufacturing is likely to be: using the magnetic levitation system as the underlying motion control foundation, superimposing embodied intelligence and robot collaboration, and combining with the large - model capabilities for manufacturing processes. The three together will form a new highly flexible and intelligent production - line form. Among them, the magnetic levitation system will not only be a "transportation tool" but also become a "stepping - stone" connecting production process circulation and flexible manufacturing capabilities.

When talking about the current competition, Tom said that the industry competition mainly comes from the immaturity of new technologies and homogeneous competition. This involution phenomenon may affect the overall development of the industry. Nabowang's competitive advantages are reflected in three aspects: cost - effectiveness, applicability, and differentiating technologies. Especially in terms of full - stack self - research capabilities and wireless power supply technology, Nabowang has established significant technological barriers.

In addition, investors from Zhongxin Capital and Guotai Junan Innovation Investment also expressed confidence in the company's future development. Hua Chao, a senior investment director of Zhongxin Capital, said that precision magnetic drives and advanced air - floating systems are the core equipment for the construction of "lights - out factories" in Industry 4.0. Relying on its full - stack self - research capabilities in algorithms and hardware, Nabowang has broken through multiple core technologies in magnetic drives and air - floating. The performance of its FRT magnetic levitation system ranks among the first echelon in the industry, and it is widely used in high - growth sectors such as consumer electronics, semiconductors, and new energy, with remarkable commercialization results.

Guotai Junan Innovation Investment believes that with the continuous development of the industry, magnetic levitation transmission technology will gradually become a key component of the physical architecture of production lines. In the future, it will have stronger intelligence and collaboration capabilities and become an important node in the entire factory digital system.
