Recently, the cloud factory completed nearly 100 million yuan B+ round of financing, the leading investor is Lihe Number wisdom Fund, Fuzhou High-tech Zone Strait Financial Holding, and the investor is a number of state-owned funds. The funds will mainly be used for industrial software research and development, delivery capacity construction and market expansion.

In the industrial field, structural parts are basic parts, especially in the fields of 3C, equipment, intelligent hardware, medical devices, etc., non-standard structural parts as a whole account for 30% of the product BOM cost. The manufacturing of structural parts is mainly carried out by traditional CNC, mold, injection molding, full processing, etc., which belongs to discrete manufacturing, and the manufacturing method is traditional and dispersed. With the way of the Internet platform, the integration of production capacity and the formation of an online manufacturing platform is a new change in the industry in recent years. At present, many companies at home and abroad are eager to try in this field.

As an explorer and leader in the field of non-standard parts online manufacturing, Cloud Factory has accumulated a lot of experience and lessons in the non-standard parts industry, formed a complete set of industry chain level industry SaaS applications, standardized the industry business mode with a new architecture of industrial software, and took the lead in launching a manufacturing platform perpendicular to the industry. In the field of online manufacturing, a feasible path to effectively improve the efficiency of parts manufacturing has been explored.

It is reported that the cloud factory headquarters has landed in Fuzhou High-tech Zone. As a typical project for Fuzhou fund investment, Cloud factory can greatly improve Fuzhou’s enterprise agglomeration role in industrial Internet, industrial software and manufacturing platform, drive a number of related enterprises, upstream and downstream enterprises to land in Fuzhou, and improve Fuzhou’s driving effect in hard science and technology innovation and digital Fujian construction.

With the good business environment of Fuzhou, Cloud Factory can get more help in the next rapid development of platform hardware and software construction and promote globalization strategy. Since its establishment 8 years ago, the cloud Factory has continued to optimize the system, moving the traditional machining, mold processing, injection molding, sheet metal processing, hand plate and 3D printing and other fields online, so that global enterprises doing new product research and development can enjoy fast and efficient digital manufacturing services online.

Up to now, the cloud factory has served nearly 300,000 enterprise users, more than 13,000 link factories, delivered hundreds of millions of parts in total, and served more than 60 of the world’s top 500 enterprises. At the same time, the cloud factory has established five delivery centers in the Pearl River Delta, creating some of its own production capacity, forming a new form of composite manufacturing that combines virtual and physical, and creating a better manufacturing experience for customers.

At present, the cloud factory has opened the United States station and Japan station successively, as a typical project of the production capacity to go to the sea and the manufacturing platform to go to the sea, to serve the global scientific and technological innovation enterprises, so that they can obtain better quality hardware and plastic parts at lower cost and shorter delivery time. The global market size of non-standard hardware and plastic parts is nearly 20 trillion, and this market will eventually be automated, intelligent and networked. Cloud Factory strives to be a super platform for this industry.

Non-standard parts processing has always been the first major pain point of hardware innovation enterprises, suppliers are difficult to find, the price is not transparent, the price is not transparent, the delivery time is uncontrollable, and the quality pass rate is low has not been particularly good. The cloud factory integrates a large number of supplier resources of different processes, while building part of its own production capacity, solving the problem of customers looking for factories everywhere. In response to the slow speed of non-standard quotation, we specially developed intelligent quotation software, so that customers can get parts manufacturing prices in a few minutes online, and the quotation time is compressed from the past few days to a few minutes. Through the huge production capacity organization, products can be produced on the machine in the first time to ensure the delivery speed of products. At the same time, through the whole process software management, a number of quality control points are set up to ensure the delivery quality of products.

Talking about the next step of development planning, Li Qin, the founder of Cloud factory, said: At present, the global manufacturing industry is facing a development wave of industrial intelligence, cloud factory will focus on the field of non-standard parts, continue to increase research and development forces in industrial software, industrial AI and automation equipment, accelerate the industry to achieve intelligence and automation, and promote industry upgrading. At the same time, we continue to explore overseas markets, serve global hardware innovation, and create a global manufacturing platform.
