About I-Kingtec

Beijing Yunsheng Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. (ikingtec), founded in 2017, operates as a provider of low-altitude infrastructure solutions, centering its business on the integration of artificial intelligence with industrial drones. The company was established by Chen Fangping while he was pursuing his Ph.D. in computer science at Peking University. His academic research in computer vision and multi-sensor fusion, combined with insights gained from observing the challenges of manual industrial inspections, such as for power lines, directly informed the company's direction. This experience led to the development of a completely unmanned drone system to enhance the efficiency and safety of such operations.

The company's core business revolves around a “machine, network, and cloud” integrated system. This system includes industrial drones, all-weather automated airports for drone deployment and maintenance, ground robots, and a four-dimensional holographic control software platform. The business model is geared towards providing comprehensive system solutions for industrial clients, generating revenue through contracts for these integrated systems. Clients operate in sectors such as power generation, oil and gas, emergency response, smart cities, and forestry. The company has secured contracts valued in the hundreds of millions of yuan.

Yunsheng Intelligent's product suite offers a fully autonomous inspection solution designed for 24/7 operation without manual intervention. The hardware includes the "Tiger Whale" industrial drone and the "Tiger Lair" automated airport, which handles battery swapping and sensor payload changes automatically. A key feature is the drone's ability to operate in complex environments with strong electromagnetic interference, using four-eye fisheye cameras for visual positioning instead of relying on a magnetic compass. The software component, the "Tiger Vision" 4D holographic management and control platform, allows users to manage inspection tasks remotely. Data collected by the drones is transmitted back to the server, where AI algorithms process it to generate inspection reports. The system is designed to create a digital twin of the physical world, enabling predictive warnings and informed decision-making.

Since its inception, Yunsheng Intelligent has achieved several milestones, including being the first to propose and mass-produce the concept of an "industrial drone and its fully automatic airport" in 2017. The company has secured significant funding across multiple rounds, including a Series D funding of 500 million yuan in May 2025. It has been recognized as a national-level "little giant" enterprise, a designation for specialized and innovative small and medium-sized enterprises in China, and holds over 600 intellectual property rights.
