Shulou(Shulou.com)11/24 Report--

With the improvement of people's living standards, intelligent cleaning products such as sweeping and dragging robots have been very popular in the past two years. When it comes to sweeping and dragging robots, we have to talk about stone technology. As a star brand in the field of intelligent cleaning, Stone Technology has always been very eye-catching.

According to the financial report of Stone Technology, in the first half of 2022, their product sales exceeded 110000 units, with sales of 2.922 billion yuan. And by the end of the first half of 2022, the domestic listing rate of the stone brand had reached 23.57%.

In terms of specific products, according to Oviyun's data, the G10S series of stone sweeping robots became the "first online sales of domestic floor sweeping robots" in 2022, with cumulative sales of 264600 units and sales of nearly 1.2 billion yuan.

This series of data is enough to show the outstanding achievements of stone science and technology in the field of intelligent cleaning, as well as their strong technological research and development strength and product strength.

At present, Stone Technology has launched self-cleaning mop robots, floor-sweeping robots, hand-held wireless vacuum cleaners, commercial cleaning robots and other products in the field of intelligent cleaning. It can be said that almost all the products in the field of intelligent cleaning have been covered.

However, many people may overlook the fact that stone's definition of itself is not limited to the field of intelligent cleaning. According to the official website, they are a company specializing in the development and production of intelligent cleaning robots and other smart appliances. The core is to "simplify life with innovation."

As it happens, the recent news that Stone Technology is going to open up a new market has also been exposed.

At present, there is news that Stone Technology will release a new category of products in late February, and may break through the field of intelligent cleaning. Exactly what kind of new product is still unknown, but some whistleblowers speculate that the new product will be a projector based on some developments and research reports of the stone.

For example, netizens found that Stone has obtained patents related to projectors, some research and newspaper organizations have also revealed that Stone is making products similar to Android TV, and Stone's patent for the appearance of a "remote control" applied for in 2020 has also been exposed.

Generally speaking, it is quite possible for Stone to launch projector products, and the projector market is really hot in the past two years and is deeply loved by young users. Of course, it could also be innovative products such as TV big screens.

In addition to display products such as projectors and TV, there are also whistleblowers who have analyzed that the new product may be a washing machine, and there are already photos of the product packaging on the Internet, with a "stone molecular sieve XX all-in-one machine" on the packaging, and the place that has been erased may be "washing".

If it is really a product such as a washing machine, it is not surprising. After all, this essentially belongs to the field of intelligent cleaning and is the category that stone is best at. We can also look forward to how stone will bring innovation and change to washing machine products.

And we also seem to be able to snoop on the molecular sieve on the package. Molecular sieve is a kind of aluminum silicate compound with cubic structure, there are many voids inside, and the pore size of the voids is similar to that of ordinary molecules, which can absorb smaller molecules and sieve larger molecules out at the same time. This technology is widely used in precision manufacturing fields such as batteries and semiconductors, and it is worth looking forward to what kind of innovation stone will use this technology to make in washing machines.

In short, whatever the new product Stone Technology is about to launch, one thing is certain that it will bring a different and more convenient experience to this category through strong technological innovation. This is the foundation that stone can be popular all the time, and it is also the embodiment of the slogan of "simplifying life with innovation".

The key behind this lies in the importance that stone science and technology attaches to technological research and development. According to the information disclosed by Stone Technology in the financial report, they have always accounted for more than 50% of their R & D personnel since its inception. At the end of the 2021 mid-reporting period, the number of stone science and technology R & D personnel reached 477, accounting for 54.08% of the total number of the company. The per capita profit reached 699000 yuan.

Stone also has a sound and effective incentive mechanism for R & D personnel, with special annual assessment indicators, combined with R & D personnel in intellectual property rights, technology, algorithms, R & D management and other dimensions of the results of the assessment, and according to the work results to give quarterly and annual bonuses, it can be said that the salary is high and the incentive is strong.

In the first half of 2022, stone's R & D investment reached 226 million yuan, an increase of 13.74 percent over the same period last year. At the same time, as of June 3 last year, a total of 2851 intellectual property rights were applied for and 1371 patents were approved, including 105 invention patents.

It is based on the great emphasis on technology research and development that in the past we were able to see many innovative and useful functions and experiences in stone sweeping robot products, such as acoustic vibration scrubbing the floor, AI binocular obstacle avoidance, RR Mason algorithm system and so on.

Therefore, although we do not know what the new product of stone is about to launch, based on the mature conditions of many years of research and development of stone technology, as well as the successful experience in the field of intelligent cleaning, we have reason to believe that this new product will be a new breakthrough in stone science and technology, and this breakthrough development will not only bring a new round of rapid growth to stone technology, but also marks a new stage of development of stone science and technology.
