Aim at the urgent need for community car washing and solve the operational dilemmas of traditional stores.

The vehicle ownership in Xinjiang region has been continuously increasing. However, the traditional car - washing industry has long faced practical problems such as high labor costs, fixed business hours, and limited outdoor services in winter. For car owners, long queuing times for car - washing, opaque service prices, and the inability to access services at night and on holidays have become common concerns. For merchants, heavy asset investment and high manpower reliance have further compressed the profit margin. In cities like Changji in Xinjiang, there is a lack of low - cost, high - efficiency, all - weather convenient car - washing services around communities. This mismatch between supply and demand creates a clear gap in the local market.

The NUB intelligent self - service car - washing architecture and operation system (hereinafter referred to as "NUB") is designed to address this pain point. The project focuses on the community scenario, aiming to build a self - service car - washing service model with light assets, low energy consumption, and all - weather operation through intelligent means. It reduces operating costs in an unattended way and improves the user experience with standardized processes, solving the daily rigid needs of car owners for "difficult, expensive, and slow car - washing".

Self - developed AI control and water - recycling technology to build a light - asset service architecture

NUB's technical solution revolves around three core modules:

00001. AI intelligent control system: It supports seamless payment for users and full - process automated operation, enabling 24 - hour unattended operation. A single store can operate normally without manual staff.

00002. Efficient water - recycling environmental protection technology: Through the internal circulation treatment system of the equipment, water resources can be reused. Compared with the traditional car - washing model, it can save about 70% of water, reducing water costs and meeting the orientation of environmental protection policies.

00003. Equipment anti - freezing solution for severe cold climate: Designed for the severe cold climate in Xinjiang, it ensures the stable operation of the equipment in the low - temperature environment in winter, solving the common problem of seasonal interruption of local car - washing services.

The above technical modules and the overall business model have completed the national copyright registration, forming an independent intellectual property layout.

At the single - store model level, NUB controls the single - store investment at about 35,000 yuan, with basic service fees, membership card top - ups, and value - added services as the sources of income. The project has designed a tiered membership system, including ordinary stored - value cards and an annual black - gold membership card priced at 599 yuan. It improves user stickiness and average customer spending through differentiated benefits. On the customer acquisition side, NUB uses a 7 - yuan public - welfare car - washing as a 15 - day low - price promotion strategy to quickly gather seed users in the community and then resumes normal - price operation. It is estimated that the net profit margin of a single store can reach 77%, and the cost is expected to be recovered in about two months under normal operation.

Output franchising after direct - operation verification, starting from Changji to cover the whole Xinjiang

NUB's business model is designed as an expansion path of the trinity of direct - operation, franchising, and system authorization:

· Short - term plan: Starting from Changji, two directly - operated stores will be opened within this year. The single - store profit model will be verified through actual operation data. The core tasks are to refine the service process, collect user feedback, and improve the operation SOP.

· Medium - term plan: After the direct - operation model is proven successful, franchise promotion will be launched next year. The verified business model and technical system will be exported to northwest provinces such as Ningxia, Gansu, and Qinghai. The franchise system will be used to quickly expand the network coverage, and the core technology authorization will be a continuous source of profit.

· Long - term goal: Build a standardized intelligent car - washing chain service ecosystem. Taking Changji as a sample market, gradually replicate it to the whole Xinjiang and more western regions.

Project team and development plan

The project was initiated and prepared by Dana Nurdaulet in the second half of 2025. So far, about half a year has been spent on technical refinement and the closed - loop design of the business model. The founder has a background in electrical automation and has self - learned AI - related technologies, independently completing the architecture construction of the core system.

Currently, the project has entered the critical preparation stage for the opening of the first store and has connected with the entrepreneurship support policies of the local entrepreneurship park and talent port in Changji. Regarding the next - step development, the team said that on the basis of the stable operation of the first benchmark store, they will accelerate the establishment of the local franchise network and continuously iterate the AI control system to support the remote unified management of multiple stores.
