Hard Krypton learned that Deerberg (Shenzhen) Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Deerberg") recently completed a Pre-A round of financing of tens of millions of yuan, led by Yuanhe Puhua, followed by Donghai Investment Control, and Xinpai Capital served as the financial advisor for this round. The financing funds will be used for iterative development of technology and products, market expansion, etc.

Founded in 2022, "Dilburg" is a company focusing on intelligent robots in the heavy industry field and providing customers with flexible robot process stations. The core team members graduated from Tsinghua University, Xi'an Jiaotong University, Xidian University and other universities, and have worked in well-known domestic nuclear power research institutes and robotics research institutes. They have deep technical research and development accumulation and industrial implementation experience in the fields of heavy industry and robotics.

Heavy manufacturing scenarios involve a wide range of processes, including cutting, forming, machining, assembly, surface treatment and other process links. The tools and process methods used in each link are different. At the same time, due to the characteristics of heavy industry such as multiple types and small batches of materials, faced with metal plates, profiles and non-standard structural parts of various sizes, as well as the deviation of incoming materials caused by upstream manufacturing, the complexity of the development and debugging of automation equipment such as industrial robots will be increased, and the equipment research and development requirements are extremely high.

As the demands of the industry become clearer and the products on the technology side gradually mature, solving the pain points of traditional robots, such as flexibility, small batches and diversification, has become an important proposition for the industry. According to data from the International Federation of Robotics (IFR), in 2022, the global sales of industrial robots will reach more than 500,000 units, and the sales in the Chinese market will account for more than 50% of the global sales. It is predicted that in 2024, the scale of my country's industrial robot market will exceed 70 billion yuan, with strong growth momentum.

Based on the fusion of multiple algorithms and multiple sensors, "Dilburg" has proposed an intelligent "single-station" solution using mature hardware equipment such as industrial robots, 3D cameras, and terminal process actuators as carriers. It provides companies with modular and flexible smart factory solutions based on intelligent perception decision-making processes such as intelligent learning, intelligent diagnosis, intelligent identification, intelligent path planning, and process control.

Dual-station intelligent loading and unloading + bevel cutting + grinding combination station

Take bevel cutting as an example. Bevel cutting is a common process in metal material processing, mainly used for preparation before welding. The traditional bevel cutting process is cumbersome, requiring high skills and experience of workers, and involves non-standard workpieces. It requires positioning of tooling one by one, searching for "traces" according to drawings, manual operation, unloading and handling, high temperature, noise and dust environment, which is time-consuming, inefficient and exhausting for workers.

After connecting to the intelligent bevel cutting station solution of "Dilburg", a single station can replace 4 to 6 production line workers. Through data closed loop and multi-machine collaboration, the efficiency is 6 times that of traditional manual operation. The product delivery cycle is within 3 months, which improves production capacity while saving labor costs and truly realizes unmanned operation.

At present, the "Dilburg" intelligent single station has been applied in six major scenarios: loading and unloading, cutting, sorting, grinding, spraying and welding. According to the material characteristics, technical routes and advantages, process difficulties and other issues of different links, it can adapt to the scene conditions to meet the specific operational needs of different scenarios.

"The flexibility of robots saves time costs, labor costs, site costs and comprehensive management costs. Improving customer profit margins and competitiveness is the core value that our products bring to customers." Zhang Ben, founder of "Dilburg", told Hard Krypton.

In terms of customers, "Tierburg" targets the fields of steel, shipbuilding, aerospace, new energy manufacturing, etc., and has reached cooperation with more than a dozen leading companies. It can provide standardized intelligent single-station delivery services such as R&D, installation, and commissioning. From the signing of the order, the implementation and acceptance can be completed within 2 to 3 months.

In the future, "Dilburg" will further promote the application of intelligent single stations in more fields of heavy industry, broaden the breadth and depth of services, and increase pilot and promotion of mid- and low-end enterprises based on top sticky customers. The company is currently simultaneously opening a new round of financing.

Investor’s view:

Chen Yu, Managing Director of Yuanhe PuhuaHe said that the domestic heavy industry has a low level of intelligence, and all major manufacturers are trying to be intelligent. In the future, the intelligence and unmanned operation of the heavy industry will be the general trend. The Tierburg team has profound intelligent algorithm capabilities and is familiar with the processes and production lines of the heavy industry. It is expected to achieve breakthroughs in multiple fields in the heavy industry intelligent single station and continue to provide heavy industry customers with intelligent transformation and digital transformation solutions.

Chen Zhenhao, CEO of Donghai Shenzhen Bay Angel Fund IIIHe said that the intelligent transformation of heavy industry is a blue ocean market worth hundreds of billions of yuan, but the industry is highly flexible and all production is discrete, and the downstream market is relatively closed, so it is difficult to achieve intelligence. The founding team of Dierboge comes from leading domestic and foreign manufacturers, with both technical capabilities and industrialization experience. They can effectively combine processes and algorithms to achieve real intelligence of heavy industry processes, and have strong market scarcity. The product technology has been recognized by many leading customers at home and abroad.
