In May 2026, the factory‑area gas‑safety intelligent inspection robot independently developed by Hefei Guanqi Intelligent Technology successfully completed full‑condition field testing. The prototype conducted continuous, uninterrupted inspections for 72 hours across a warehousing park, manufacturing workshops, and gas‑equipment storage areas, delivering automated gas‑leak detection, equipment‑temperature monitoring, real‑time video transmission, and audible‑visual anomaly alarms. With this milestone, the company has officially entered the niche market of industrial safety‑focused intelligent robots, further expanding its portfolio of smart equipment.

　　In May 2026, the factory‑area gas‑safety intelligent inspection robot independently developed by Hefei Guanqi Intelligent Technology successfully completed full‑condition field testing. The prototype conducted continuous, uninterrupted inspections for 72 hours across a warehousing park, manufacturing workshops, and gas‑equipment storage areas, delivering automated gas‑leak detection, equipment‑temperature monitoring, real‑time video transmission, and audible‑visual anomaly alarms. With this milestone, the company has officially entered the niche market of industrial safety robots, further expanding its portfolio of smart equipment. According to its business scope, the company’s core activities encompass intelligent robot R&D, IoT applications, and ancillary gas‑metering devices; this inspection robot represents a flagship new product that integrates cross‑scenario technologies.

　　Addressing the key pain points of traditional manual plant‑site inspections—numerous blind spots, insufficient inspection frequency, delayed detection of gas leaks, and high safety risks for personnel—the R&D team has integrated gas‑sensing technology, autonomous navigation algorithms, and IoT transmission modules to develop a compact wheeled inspection robot. The device is equipped with a high‑precision combustible‑gas sensor, an infrared thermal‑imaging camera, and a high‑definition video‑capture system. It can autonomously plan inspection routes, navigate around forklifts and other obstacles, and automatically identify leak points on gas pipelines and power‑conversion equipment. Real‑time data and live video are seamlessly streamed to the Guanqi GQ IoT cloud platform, and any concentration exceeding the threshold triggers immediate alert notifications, effectively mitigating the risk of gas explosions in industrial facilities. The prototype is adaptable to both indoor warehouse environments and outdoor plant‑site conditions, operating reliably in rainy weather and across a wide range of temperatures, with battery life sufficient to support continuous, round‑the‑clock inspections.

　　During the testing phase, the company collaborated with three large logistics industrial parks within the province to conduct field validation, completing more than 20 simulated gas‑leakage tests with 100% accuracy. Inspection efficiency improved by over fourfold compared to manual methods, significantly reducing the manpower required for safety management at the facilities. The company plans to finalize robot optimization and iteration in the third quarter, launch a standardized commercial model, and offer it as part of a bundled solution that includes its proprietary gas‑powered equipment, thereby creating an integrated campus‑wide solution for forklift gas conversion and on‑site gas‑safety inspections. Meanwhile, leveraging its import‑export qualifications, the company is concurrently developing region‑specific versions of the inspection robots tailored to overseas industrial parks, adjusting navigation and sensor‑module parameters to suit Southeast Asian plant environments. Guanqi Intelligence stated that it will continue to identify niche smart‑equipment needs across diverse industrial settings, integrating robotics, IoT, and gas‑control technologies to build differentiated product advantages.

The brand strategy has been comprehensively upgraded, and Hefei Hanbei Intelligence has officially rebranded as Hefei Guanqi Intelligent Technology, charting a course for medium- to long-term development.

The standardization system has been implemented, and Hefei Guanqi Intelligent has obtained both an enterprise credit rating and certification for operating electromechanical equipment.
