Hard Kr has realized that Beijing Shenzhou Puhui Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter known as “Shenzhou Puhui”) just lately accomplished its Series B financing, which was invested by the Beijing Advanced Manufacturing and Intelligent Equipment Industry Investment Fund. The funds might be primarily used for the home substitution of excessive – finish underwater devices, the R & D of unmanned clever marine merchandise, and the enlargement of civilian utility situations for core merchandise.
Shenzhou Puhui was based in 2003 and is headquartered in Beijing. It is a “little giant” enterprise within the discipline of deep – sea expertise, which is strongly supported by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. The firm has lengthy been deeply concerned in fiber – optic sensing and underwater acoustic sensing applied sciences and has the total – chain R & D and engineering capabilities from core parts, particular tools to system options.
Centering on the core path of underwater sensing, the corporate has fashioned a serialized product matrix protecting fiber – optic hydrophone towed arrays, fiber – optic hydrophone seabed arrays, marine useful resource exploration tools, 3D picture sonars, distributed fiber – optic sensing demodulators, particular sensing cables, and watertight connectors. Many of its associated applied sciences are on the main degree in China, and its merchandise have been utilized in situations reminiscent of marine statement, useful resource exploration, underwater safety, and main infrastructure monitoring.

In phrases of expertise and scientific analysis, Shenzhou Puhui as soon as led and undertook a significant instrument challenge of the Ministry of Science and Technology. The related achievements have been put into sensible use in fields reminiscent of underwater goal detection, marine useful resource exploration, underwater noise measurement, and marine scientific statement. Many applied sciences have crammed the gaps in related home fields and received many necessary nationwide and provincial honors.
The firm has additionally collectively established an underwater acoustic joint laboratory with Harbin Engineering University and Northwestern Polytechnical University and has established lengthy – time period cooperative relationships with many marine – associated universities and key laboratories to constantly promote the engineering utility of underwater acoustic and fiber – optic sensing applied sciences. In 2025, via mergers and acquisitions, the corporate mastered the core R & D capabilities of deep – sea 3D picture sonars and have become one of many few massive – scale systematic expertise enterprises in China that each analysis, develop and produce underwater detection sonars and picture sonars.
With the gradual launch of the demand for home substitution and the rising demand for underwater sensing tools in fields reminiscent of marine engineering, water conservancy, and oil and gasoline, the corporate has accelerated the transformation of its core applied sciences from scientific analysis to productization and engineering supply lately.
Zhang Haibing, the founding father of the corporate, mentioned that underwater sensing and excessive – finish sonar tools have lengthy been extremely depending on imports, particularly in fields reminiscent of imaging mapping and detection, that are considerably affected by abroad rules. “We first entered the military – industrial system to solve the problem of ‘whether it can be used’. As the technology matures, the space in the civilian market is gradually opening up.” At current, the corporate has deployed in civilian situations reminiscent of oil and gasoline, water conservancy, bridge inspection, and fish discovering and has constantly expanded its functions in instructions reminiscent of oil and gasoline exploration, underwater safety, and infrastructure monitoring.
Centering on the development of industrialization and engineering supply capabilities, Shenzhou Puhui has made deployments in a number of locations throughout the nation. The group presently has three subsidiaries: Wuhan Puhui Ocean Optoelectronic Technology Co., Ltd., Harbin Hachuan Optoelectronic Technology Co., Ltd., and Hainan Puhui Ocean Technology Co., Ltd. Among them, Wuhan Puhui was based in 2012 and has constructed the Hubei Provincial Fiber – Optic Hydrophone Detection Engineering Laboratory. It is a vital base for the corporate to attain massive – scale manufacturing of fiber – optic hydrophones and array – degree merchandise. Harbin Hachuan Optoelectronic focuses on the R & D and manufacturing of latest – kind distributed sensors and excessive – finish tools. Hainan Puhui is positioned as a base for the event of utility situations, operation companies, and upkeep help of excessive – finish sonars and marine geophysical exploration tools, offering tools integration, joint commissioning, operation, upkeep help, and technical companies for utility situations reminiscent of underwater detection, marine surveys, useful resource geophysical exploration, and inspections.
In phrases of capital, Shenzhou Puhui has accomplished a number of rounds of financing. Its shareholders embrace the Second – part Advanced Manufacturing Industry Investment Fund of the National Integrated Circuit Industry Investment Fund, the Beijing Advanced Manufacturing and Intelligent Equipment Industry Investment Fund, the Gazelle Science and Technology Innovation Fund of Zhongguancun Capital, in addition to enterprise capital establishments reminiscent of Tibet Meilan and Shenghe Weiye. Zhang Haibing mentioned that this spherical of financing might be primarily invested within the home substitution of excessive – finish marine devices and tools, the built-in utility of sonar merchandise and unmanned platforms, clever functions, and the additional enlargement of product functions in civilian industries reminiscent of oil and gasoline, underwater safety, and water conservancy.
Currently, the corporate has about 270 workers, greater than 30% of whom are R & D personnel. The core staff primarily comes from effectively – recognized home universities and acoustic and optical analysis establishments. Many core members have led or participated in nationwide and provincial key scientific analysis tasks.
