On March 3, 2025, Yu Hongtao, Director of the Chamber of Commerce Department of Hefei Council for the Promotion of International Trade (CCPIT), accompanied senior executives from Duravant, a global giant in automation and intelligent equipment manufacturing, including Jack Lee, President of Duravant's Food Sorting and Processing Division, Lü Yong, Managing Director of Duravant China, and Wang Qinggang, Senior Manager of Duravant China's Business Division, on an inspection tour to Hefei. The delegation visited Anhui Keye Information Technology Co., Ltd. (Keye Tech for short), a core enterprise in the regional visual inspection industrial chain. Yan Tianxin, General Manager of Keye Tech, and Wang Min, Director of Marketing, received the delegation throughout the visit.
As the absolute leader with over 35% global market share in food sorting equipment (according to Frost & Sullivan 2023 data), Duravant's special inspection tour of Keye Tech with its technical decision-making team not only demonstrates deep attention to the strength of China's local visual inspection technology but also marks the entry of "technological resonance" between international industrial giants and Chinese hard-tech enterprises into a substantive phase.
Why Do International Giants Choose Keye Tech?
Decoding the "Chinese Answer" to Global Supply Chains
Founded in 1987 with the core philosophy of "Redefining Industrial Efficiency", Duravant has established itself as a global leader in automation and intelligent equipment manufacturing. Its VisionX series intelligent inspection systems were recognized by Forbes as one of the "Top Ten Disruptive Technologies of the Industry 4.0 Era", demonstrating cutting-edge innovation in industrial quality control. The company has long served global Fortune 500 enterprises including Nestlé, Coca-Cola, and Siemens, delivering advanced solutions that enhance operational efficiency across diverse industries.
During the visit of Duravant's senior executive delegation, Yan Tianxin, General Manager of Keye Tech, provided a detailed introduction to the company's development and the breakthrough journey of unswervingly pursuing independent technological research. He also accompanied Duravant's senior management to carefully observe a full-chain technology demonstration of self-developed AI edge computing units, cameras, AI algorithms, cloud training platforms, and landed products.
During the visit, a live demonstration was presented to Duravant's senior executives of industrial visual systems, including AI+mechanical arm unstructured grasping, fully automatic appearance inspection machines for the capacitor and plastic packaging industries, and the new-generation AI intelligent sorting machine.
Lü Yong, Managing Director of Duravant China, candidly stated: "Keye Tech's hardware autonomy and AI algorithms have far exceeded our expectations. Keye Tech has shown us the power of 'Made in China Intelligence,' and we look forward to joining hands with Keye Tech to explore the boundless possibilities of intelligent inspection systems."
Technical Discourse Power Game
The Leap from "Following" to "Parallel Running"
During the exchange, Yan Tianxin, General Manager of Keye Tech, stated: "Through independent research and development, Keye Tech has built a complete technical system for core components such as light source systems, industrial cameras, and AI edge computing units, achieving independent breakthroughs in key machine vision technologies. The speed of scenario implementation - the cycle from laboratory to mass production line has been shortened by 60%, meeting the needs of global agile delivery. If we cooperate with Duravant in the future, it will be the best practice of 'Chinese solutions' empowering global industrial upgrading."
During Duravant's senior executives' visit to Hefei, the Hefei Municipal Bureau of Commerce and the Chamber of Commerce of Hefei Council for the Promotion of International Trade (CCPIT) presented Keye Tech as one of the showcase enterprises, fully demonstrating Hefei's scientific and technological strength to Duravant's leadership and confirming the vitality of Hefei's scientific and technological innovation ecosystem. Meanwhile, Keye Tech's independent R&D capabilities have made "Intelligent Manufacturing in China" a tangible reality. In the future, Keye Tech will continue to showcase the unique charm of Chinese technology to the world as an explorer.
