“With the explosive growth of AI computing power demand on the edge and cloud sides, the market’s demand for active heat – dissipation technology has been extremely urgent in the past two years. Mainstream domestic mobile phone manufacturers have successively launched models with active heat – dissipation technology. There is no need to educate customers about edge – side liquid cooling anymore, as customers will actively put forward relevant technology requirements. The key lies in the breakthroughs in product performance indicators and reliability,” Li Bing informed Yingke.
Yingke: What is the aggressive panorama of the lively warmth – dissipation observe? How does Ruimeng deal with the competitors from massive enterprises?
Li Bing: The quantity of new entrants has considerably elevated in the previous six months to a yr. However, this observe requires cross – disciplinary integration, and the technical obstacles are extraordinarily excessive. Our benefit in contrast with massive enterprises is that we deal with a distinct segment observe, have sturdy cross – disciplinary R & D capabilities, and a extra versatile mechanism, and have achieved management in core efficiency indicators. At the identical time, we’ve a strategic cooperation with Feirongda in mass – manufacturing supply, high quality management, and provide – chain operation administration. The two sides complement one another’s benefits, accelerating the mass manufacturing of merchandise akin to micro – pump liquid cooling for main prospects.
Yingke: What would be the firm’s improvement focus after this spherical of financing?
Li Bing: First, enhance R & D funding to repeatedly iterate the core efficiency indicators of product traces akin to piezoelectric followers and micro – pump liquid cooling. Second, pace up the format of the mass – manufacturing demonstration line and enhance the massive – scale excessive – high quality supply capability. Third, broaden the market and buyer – introduction help crew and distribution channels. The introduction cycle of main prospects in the buyer electronics discipline normally takes greater than a yr, requiring steady help and robust useful resource funding.
Yingke: What are the long run product and expertise plans?
Li Bing: On the sting facet, we’ll launch new merchandise akin to MEMS followers and pump – pushed VCs to unravel ache factors akin to air – cooling warmth dissipation in extremely – small – measurement situations and the capillary pressure limitation of extremely – skinny VCs in the passive mode. On the cloud facet, we’ve laid out the R & D of jet micro – channel chilly plates, MLCP micro – channel covers, and chopping – edge expertise routes akin to bonding silicon – based mostly MEMS micro – channel two – section chilly plates with computing chips via heterogeneous integration. Relying on the platform of the National Key Laboratory of RF Heterogeneous Integration of Shenzhen University, we’ve additionally carried out pre – analysis on heterogeneous built-in microsystems for chip warmth dissipation with extremely – excessive warmth – flux density. The firm has additionally co – established a joint laboratory for fluid and aerodynamic acoustics with Southern University of Science and Technology to conduct all – round business – college – analysis cooperation on key applied sciences akin to fluid and aerodynamic noise.
