Blue Ocean Robotics uses AMR technology to solve the pain points of manufacturing logistics and seeks a new round of financing.

I. Pain Points in High - end Manufacturing Logistics Await Solutions, and the Demand in the Blue Ocean Market is Urgent

In high - end manufacturing fields such as photovoltaics, lithium batteries, and automobiles, the traditional in - factory logistics model has long faced multiple pain points: manual handling is inefficient and error - prone, making it difficult to match the rhythm of large - scale production; the scheduling ability of traditional AGV equipment is limited, unable to handle the multi - equipment cluster operation scenarios; the problem of data silos between different processes is prominent, resulting in low production collaboration efficiency and high management costs. As the industry accelerates its transformation towards automation and intelligence, customers' demands for flexibility, digitization, and high - efficiency in in - factory logistics are becoming increasingly strong. Especially in the production processes of photovoltaic cells and lithium batteries, the requirements for handling accuracy, stability, and scheduling efficiency continue to increase. The market urgently needs a set of intelligent logistics overall solutions that are adaptable to multiple scenarios and highly compatible.

Blue Ocean Robotics has targeted this market gap. Relying on its technological accumulation in the field of intelligent mobile robots, it focuses on the in - factory intelligent logistics track in the high - end manufacturing industry and provides customers with full - process services from equipment R & D to system integration, solving the long - standing efficiency and cost problems in the industry.

II. Self - developed Core Technologies Build Barriers and Create Full - scenario Intelligent Logistics Solutions

As a national "little giant" enterprise specializing in niche markets, Blue Ocean Robotics takes intelligent mobile robots (AMR/AGV) as the core carrier and has built a full - stack technology system covering hardware, software, and system integration. The self - developed intelligent scheduling system of the company can achieve central supervision and scheduling of up to 512 devices and 2000 loading and unloading points, solving the collaboration problem in large - scale cluster operations. At the same time, in response to the special process requirements of industries such as photovoltaics and lithium batteries, it has developed customized robot products suitable for different production scenarios, covering various navigation methods such as magnetic stripe navigation and laser navigation to meet the handling requirements of high precision and high stability.

In addition to the core robot body, Blue Ocean Robotics also provides supporting products such as intelligent vertical warehouses, intelligent sorting logistics lines, and intelligent manufacturing management systems, forming a full - process solution from in - factory material handling to warehouse management. The project "High - precision Intelligent Handling Robots and Cluster Dynamic Scheduling Systems for Photovoltaic Manufacturing" led by the company won the first prize of the Guangdong Provincial Robot Science and Technology Award in 2025, and its technical strength has been recognized by industry authorities. Currently, the R & D team accounts for nearly 50% of the company. The key technical personnel have years of technical accumulation in fields such as navigation algorithms, motion control, and machine vision, continuously promoting product iteration and technological innovation.

III. The Mature Business Model Verifies the Results, Achieving Both Market Expansion and Capital Recognition

Blue Ocean Robotics adopts a diversified profit model of "equipment sales + system integration + operation and maintenance services". Its core customers cover leading enterprises in industries such as photovoltaics, lithium batteries, and automobiles, and a stable cooperation ecosystem has been formed. Since 2021, the average annual growth rate of the company's main business revenue has been as high as 3 times. In 2024, its output value exceeded 800 million yuan, achieving a leap - forward development from the million - level to the billion - level. It has become one of the robot body enterprises with the largest output value scale in Guangzhou and has been included in the list of "future unicorns" in Guangzhou.

In terms of market layout, Blue Ocean Robotics has established branches in Guangzhou, Changsha, and Jiangsu to provide local services to customers in core manufacturing clusters in the Yangtze River Delta and the Pearl River Delta. At the capital level, the company has successively received multiple rounds of financing from institutions such as Haimuxing, Hillhouse Venture Capital, and Matrix Partners III. The C - round financing exceeded 100 million yuan, and the funds are mainly used for new product R & D, business expansion, and capacity expansion, and the industry recognition continues to increase.

In terms of the team, Xu Wenbin, the founder and CEO of the company, graduated from South China University of Technology and has been deeply involved in the automation industry for many years. The core management team has rich business management backgrounds in the engineering field. The team configuration driven by both technology and the market provides a solid guarantee for the company's continuous development. Currently, the products of Blue Ocean Robotics have been implemented on a large scale in scenarios such as photovoltaic cell handling, lithium battery production process transfer, and automobile parts distribution. Customer feedback data shows that after adopting its intelligent logistics solutions, the in - factory logistics efficiency of customers has increased by more than 60%, and the labor cost has been reduced by more than 40%, significantly optimizing the production management process.

In this new round of financing, Blue Ocean Robotics plans to mainly use the funds for the R & D and upgrade of core technologies, the expansion of products for new scenarios, the construction of market channels, and the expansion of production capacity, further consolidating its leading position in the field of high - end manufacturing intelligent logistics and helping more manufacturing customers achieve intelligent transformation.
