According to MarketsandMarkets data, the global AIoT market size will grow from US $ 5.1 billion in 2017 to US $ 16.2 billion in 2024. AIoT is regarded as the preferred channel for the intelligent upgrading of traditional industries. There are three major technology applications in this field that dominate the presentation of products from research and development to final performance-network and connectivity, computer vision, AI voice.

Although the number of global IoT connected devices is growing at a high speed, there are still many challenges from the above three technologies during the product development stage. For example, at the network connection level, there are generally inaccessible, incorrect, slow, extended, and high power consumption. Problems; there are also problems with recognition and inaccurate understanding at the visual and phonological levels.

Third-party companies providing solutions in the market can be roughly divided into three categories: platform, application, and support. The first two categories will be briefly introduced at the end of the article. This time we will focus on the supporting company Ecordia, which serves AIoT vendors, and mainly provides connectivity, technical support and optimization services.

Founded in 2007, Ecordia provides a full-lifecycle R & D and verification platform for AIoT industry products. Let's look at the company's profile from the perspective of industry accumulation, platform strength, market and customers.

The company used scene-based data, including test, field, and simulation data, to form a high-quality trainable database. Through the cooperation with major customers such as Sony and Qualcomm, it has accumulated industry-leading technical experience. At present, it has complete testing equipment and scenarios, with 1200 + Lab simulation scenarios and 2000+ outdoor scenarios, covering more than 85% of common scenarios; covering functions, performance, performance, compatibility, stability, outfield, operators, etc. A set of test cases for orientation.

Based on 10 million industry scene data, the company performs multi-modal fitting of network communications, sound fields, and light fields to help products achieve test simulation throughout the entire life cycle from incubation, research and development, verification iteration, production and after-sales. The core technology is to use digital twins to improve the problems of the above three technologies, and not only can combine historical data + real-time data of each scene + laboratory data to realize the digitization of the physical world; it also enables data collection to data processing The automation and intelligence of the entire process from R & D to test verification.

The company's solutions have been cut into three major AIoT landing scenarios: autonomous driving, smart home, and smart manufacturing. CEO Zhiliang.Liao said that the company currently has accumulated head companies such as Sony, Haier, Mercedes-Benz, etc., and plans to enter the long tail market in the future, and put services and data on the cloud to form a SaaS model + industry solutions to help SMEs lower the threshold for AIoT development. At present, the Information and Communication Academy is better in the AIoT support system in China, but this is the leading company in the service industry. Therefore, the company enters the long tail market in the future, and targeting SMEs is also a differentiated market competition strategy.

The team said that the company's average annual revenue in the past three years has exceeded 100 million yuan, and R & D investment accounts for about 20% of total revenue. In addition, the 5G experimental open platform jointly established by the company and Nokia Bell is the first domestic 5G / NB-IoT + AI laboratory open platform for end-to-end wireless product and application research and development. 

Ecordia is headquartered in Beijing, and has R & D centers and wholly-owned branches in Malmo, Sweden, Yokohama, Japan, Shenzhen, Dalian, Nanjing, Zhengzhou, etc. The core team has rich R & D experience in the areas of image quality, processing and recognition, mobile communication, and smart devices. The company has also formed long-term cooperative relationships with National Institute of Metrology，China, Tsinghua University, Dalian University of Technology.

Briefly introduce the platform and application companies mentioned above. The platform is mainly based on the chip / cloud platform, intelligent hardware, and mobile application models. The typical company is iFlytek as AIoT voice platform. The application category includes AIoT application companies at various layers to provide equipment or solutions for the industry，such as Shunfeng Fengxiu provides AIoT after-sales solutions.
