About EFY-Tech
Established in July 2015, EFY-Tech, officially known as EFY Intelligent Control (Tianjin) Technology Co., Ltd., is a specialist in industrial-grade unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) products and system solutions. The company was founded by Qi Juntong, who brings a deep academic and research background to the venture. Qi's fascination with flight began in his youth, leading him to study Flight Vehicle Design and later work at Tianjin University (TJU) and the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), where he achieved several "firsts" in the domestic UAV field. He currently serves as a professor and doctoral supervisor at Tianjin University's Robotics and Autonomous Systems Research Institute.
EFY-Tech provides comprehensive control system solutions for the intelligent unmanned equipment industry. The business model revolves around developing and manufacturing drone flight control systems and offering customized UAV solutions for various commercial applications. The company serves clients across multiple sectors, including agricultural plant protection, low-altitude logistics, police surveillance, forestry firefighting, geological exploration, and aerial mapping. One of its notable services includes creating drone light shows for entertainment and marketing, which generates significant brand exposure.
The company's product portfolio is extensive, covering drone formation show systems, logistics and transportation drones, patrol and inspection UAVs, and advanced flight control systems. Key products include the Finix series of drone controllers for multi-rotor and single-rotor aircraft, logistics drones like the Unidelta and Unilark, and the Unihangar, an automatic airport for logistics and inspection. EFY-Tech's core technology lies in its autonomous flight control systems, which are designed to make remote-controlled drones obsolete. The company has also developed systems for large unmanned helicopters and autonomous ground vehicles. Having secured $15.8 million in funding from investors such as AVIC Trust Company and Frees Fund, EFY-Tech has established itself in the market, with headquarters in Tianjin and branches in several other Chinese cities.
