Beijing-based Minyue Technology has closed a Pre-B+ funding round led by Yonghua Capital to scale its AI-powered industrial welding systems globally, building on nearly 10,000 deployed units.

Minyue Technology, a Beijing-based industrial AI company specializing in no-teach robotic welding, has successfully closed a Pre-B+ funding round led by Yonghua Capital. Furthermore, the fresh capital will directly fuel the company’s plan to scale its intelligent welding platform globally and deepen its existing product suite.

Founded in September 2015 and formally established in Beijing in 2016, Minyue has, over the past decade, built a suite of proprietary systems that allow industrial robots to weld without traditional manual programming. Specifically, its core product lineup, RobotSmart (offline programming software), SmartEye (laser seam tracking), and SmartVision (binocular structured-light sensing) collectively eliminate the complex teaching process that has long slowed adoption of robotic welding in factories.

As a result of this approach, the company has already deployed close to 10,000 units across industries including construction machinery, shipbuilding, and automotive manufacturing. Moreover, Minyue has built a proprietary large-scale welding dataset that serves as the backbone for training future AI models tailored to real-world industrial conditions.

Notably, the company’s client roster includes heavy-industry giants such as XCMG, Sany, CSSC, and ZMJ, a testament to the reliability and scalability of its technology at an enterprise level. In terms of financial traction, Minyue’s annual sales orders exceeded 50 million yuan in 2023, reflecting steady year-on-year growth since inception.

On the investor side, Yonghua Capital a Shanghai-headquartered private equity and venture capital firm founded in 1994 and backed by Yongjin Group brings both capital and strategic depth to the round. With a portfolio spanning over 154 companies across sectors including TMT, new energy, and smart hardware, Yonghua’s participation signals growing institutional confidence in AI-driven manufacturing platforms.

Looking ahead, Minyue plans to leverage the new funding to expand beyond the Chinese domestic market and accelerate international deployment. In addition, the company intends to further evolve its AI capabilities, particularly around 3D visual perception and autonomous trajectory planning, to address increasingly complex welding applications at scale.

Ultimately, this round positions Minyue Technology as one of the more technically differentiated players in China’s fast-growing industrial AI sector one where the convergence of robotics, computer vision, and machine learning is progressively reshaping how manufacturers operate worldwide.
