Dauphin Smarts, with its 125,000 RMB teach-free steel structure track welding robot creating market buzz, decides to establish a new factory in Wuhan Jiangxia District, fully supported by Yangzhou Science and Technology Town Delegation.
In Yizheng, Yangzhou, the name Dauphin Smart Manufacturing Co., Ltd. is appearing more and more frequently in the industry's field of view. Deeply rooted in automated welding software, this local benchmark enterprise has carved out a place for itself in the high-precision welding of large components, thanks to core technologies such as the "AI-decision mobile embodied intelligent welding robot with autonomous navigation and positioning". Its recently promoted RMB 125,000 teach-free steel-structure track welding robot, with the convenience of "no programming, one-click start" and a highly competitive price, has stirred up the market: orders are pouring in and momentum is building rapidly.
Tight production capacity and overflowing market demand have brought the company to a key moment of expansion. After several rounds of site selection and feasibility studies, the company decided to set up a new factory in Jiangxia District, Wuhan, extending its technological reach from the Yangtze River Delta to the middle reaches of the Yangtze River. This important move has naturally relied on the support of "the home team".
Mr. Guo Wanfu of Wuhan University of Science and Technology is a core member of the Yangzhou Auto and New Materials Industry Science Town-Mayor Group (Yizheng Group), seconded to Maji Town, and a long-standing friend of Dauphin. As soon as he learned of the company's plan to land in Wuhan, Mr. Guo immediately bridged the way, accompanying the Dauphin team on a field investigation in Jiangxia District — covering location advantages, industrial supporting capacity, talent resources, and policy support — to lay a solid foundation for Dauphin's "cross-river journey".
Dauphin's choice of Wuhan is no impulse. As a "thoroughfare to nine provinces" and a major industrial hub, Wuhan has deep accumulation in shipbuilding and the steel industry — exactly the ideal arena for Dauphin's welding robot technology to flourish. According to the plan, the new Wuhan factory will serve as a bridgehead for the company to expand into the central China market. On the one hand, leveraging Mr. Guo Wanfu's research platform at his home institution, Wuhan University of Science and Technology, the company will jointly apply for government science and technology projects to secure more policy and funding support. On the other hand, it will actively prepare for innovation and entrepreneurship competitions, using these stages to showcase technological strength and broaden financing channels.
More importantly, Dauphin is targeting Wuhan's shipbuilding and steel industries — two sectors with extremely urgent demand for automation and intelligence in welding large components. The company's market-shaking teach-free welding robot offers a high cost-performance solution exactly for these scenarios.
The Yizheng Group has given Dauphin's ambitions strong recognition and pragmatic support. In recent exchanges, members of the group all said that "going out" after a company has gained a foothold in the market with its flagship products is the necessary path to growth — and that the town-mayor group must not only "help the company onto the horse" but also "see it off for part of the journey".
Going forward, the Yizheng Group will organize a dedicated delegation to Wuhan to study the local industrial ecosystem and policy environment in depth, providing precise references for the company's subsequent landing. At the same time, the group will actively connect with Wuhan's universities, research institutes, and leading enterprises — from the welding lab at Huazhong University of Science and Technology to potential customers such as CSIC and Wuhan Iron and Steel Group, and recruitment channels for graduates of local universities — helping local enterprises like Dauphin build all-round cooperation bridges in R&D, market expansion, and talent introduction.
