September 14 afternoon news, Sina Science and Technology exclusively learned that Xiaomi ecological chain recently ushered in structural adjustment. Newly established intelligent hardware department, floor sweeper department and other departments.

It is worth noting that in this adjustment, the floor sweeper will be a separate department. Previously, the floor sweeper belongs to the product line of the Clean Electrical Appliances Division, which means that the category has improved its status in the Xiaomi ecological chain.

It is reported that the sweeper department is headed by Chen Weiyang, deputy general manager of the ecological chain department, and reports to Chen Bo, general manager of the ecological chain department. In addition, Chen Weiyang also serves as the head of the R & D department of the Ecological chain Department.

Xiaomi first joined the category of floor sweepers in cooperation with Stone Technology, an ecological chain enterprise of Xiaomi. In August 2016, Xiaomi launched a Mi floor sweeping robot with a price of 1699 yuan, starting a war of performance-to-price ratio in the floor sweeping robot industry. Later, with Stone Technology listed on its own, Xiaomi further expanded its cooperation with Xiaomi ecological chain enterprises Yunmi and Chuan in the category of floor-sweeping robots.

People familiar with the matter told Sina Technology that the adjustment was intended to reorganize the categories of the ecological chain. After the adjustment, floor-sweeping robots are also among the key categories, which means that Xiaomi will invest more in the category of floor-sweeping robots.

However, the relationship between Xiaomi and eco-chain companies has been particularly complex, being both a partner and a competitor in some key categories. According to Oviyun.com, as of August this year, according to the online sales of floor-sweeping robots, Kovos ranked first with 31.8%, Stone Technology ranked second with 20.2%, Xiaomi ranked third with 17.5%, and Cloud Whale ranked fourth with 8.8%. Chasing 8.2% ranked fifth.
