WATTMAN builds integrated soft‑hardware industrial robotics and digital factory systems focused on steel, nonferrous metallurgy, aluminum, power and mining customers. Its product portfolio includes 3D intelligent cleaning and grinding robots, fully autonomous trolleys, furnace lining lifecycle management, and robot‑cluster platforms such as a steel‑ladle hot‑repair unmanned platform and large‑ladle casting unmanned platform. The company emphasizes multi‑robot collaboration, machine vision, 3D perception, motion planning/control and remote operation, and has standardized those capabilities into a “3+1” full‑stack AI product system. WATTMAN says it has deployed solutions at dozens of leading steel and aluminum production lines and achieved standardized replication across major industrial groups. In 2022 the company reported over RMB 100 million in contract orders and year‑over‑year business growth of more than fivefold; it now has nearly 100 employees with over 70% in R&D. Over the next five years WATTMAN plans to continue expanding multi‑robot collaborative unmanned platforms and to evolve from single‑point intelligence to cluster intelligence and ultimately a lights‑out whole steel‑shop solution. 瓦特曼 is an artificial intelligence technology company focused on heavy industry. Founded in 2019 and based in Beijing, the company supplies integrated hardware-and-software systems. Its core offerings include industrial intelligent robots, unmanned intelligent equipment, and digital factory construction for customers in steel metallurgy, non-ferrous metals, energy and power, and mining machinery. The company completed B and B+ financing rounds amounting to several hundred million yuan. The recent financings were led sequentially by China Mobile’s Beijing Zhongyi Digital New Economy Industrial Fund and Guotou Securities, with Yiming Capital serving as financial adviser. The article does not specify operating metrics or the intended use of proceeds. WATTMAN develops industrial robots and intelligent manufacturing solutions for heavy industries such as steel metallurgy, nonferrous metals and mining. Its products — built on machine vision, 3D perception and motion-planning control AI — include 3D intelligent cleaning/grinding robots, intelligent metallurgy slag-retrieval robots, unmanned overhead cranes and high-temperature smelting-vessel lining erosion monitoring robots. The company targets harsh industrial environments (high temperature, dust) that require robust hardware and adaptability to complex scenarios. WATTMAN has deployed solutions at multiple large industrial customers and has strategic cooperation with several Fortune 500 and major Chinese industrial groups, including Baowu Group, China Aluminum, China Energy Investment, Jinchuan Group, Shougang Group and Hebei Iron & Steel Group, as well as partners such as Hualing Group and Pangang Group. As of May 2021, WATTMAN had served nearly 100 large industrial enterprise customers. The company plans to use new capital to continue product R&D, expand its technical team, and grow sales channels.
