Ten Years of Precipitation, the Broad Future of Thai Shadow

Background: Industrial CT refers to nuclear imaging technology applied in industry. It has a wide range of applications in many fields. It does not require any destructive preparation or treatment of the object, and can be used for detecting defects, internal structure, dimensional measurements, assembly verification, and quality control, helping to improve product quality, reduce production costs, and playing a key role in quality control and quality assurance.

I. Ten years to sharpen the sword, with the dream to create Thai movie

Li Lei, the early protagonist of this edition of Wednesday Grill, has 15 years of experience in CT equipment technology, CT algorithms and software development, he believes: "The industrial CT market is wide open, and the related tracks will be very promising. "

After completing his master's degree at Tianjin University, Li Lei went to Beijing to work as a Senior Software Engineer at Toshiba's China R&D Center, where he was responsible for leading the development of the medical CT imaging platform. After that, he decided to come to Shanghai for development, and worked in the Medical CT Division of Shanghai Union Image, becoming the core technical backbone of the team, during which he achieved many accomplishments and gained more in-depth attainments and experience in medical CT and the CT industry as a whole.

With the concept of dual-creation and the country's encouragement and call for entrepreneurship, Li Lei has also become interested in entrepreneurship and business management.In his spare time outside of work, he studied for a master's degree in business administration at Fudan University and also participated in the research and development of national key projects under the 12th and 13th Five-Year Plan.

With time and experience.Li Lei found that domestic CT equipment is more dependent on imports. After conscious market research and data study, he realized that the domestic market for medical CT equipment is relatively saturated, butThere is a considerable gap in the two areas of software development and hardware equipment in the field of industrial CT. Many companies for industrial CT business is more to choose foreign products or service providers, with the rapid development of domestic industry, manufacturing, more and more emerging industries began to produce three-dimensional inspection needs, such as automotive lithium batteries, chip manufacturing, special materials and so on.

Li Lei saw an opportunity in the industry thatHe resolutely decided to devote himself to it, and dared to be the first to set up Taiying (Shanghai) Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. which is committed to becoming a leader in the field of X-imaging, creating a benchmark for domestic high-end equipment, and assisting the development and upgrading of the intelligent manufacturing industry.

Second, "light assets, heavy technology" to fill the gaps in the field of domestic industrial CT software and hardware

In order to actively develop industrial CT-related software and equipment, Li Lei chose to start a light-asset business during the start-up of the enterprise.

With the medical CT industry experience to industrial CT hardware and software development and production, from industrial CT software development and algorithms into the market, according to the needs of different customers, customized software technology solutions.Knocking on the door of the market with technology, rapidly expanding the brand influence of Thai Shadow. For the production and assembly of industrial CT hardware, Li Lei believes that the size of the company's team has always been "small but fine", the company masters the core technology, the product components through the form of outsourcing assigned to different factories to produce, and then assembled after the final summary of the sale, to achieve profitability.

Li Lei said: "The emergence of Thai Shadow gives domestic manufacturers in need of industrial CT one more option. The services provided by the company have considerable advantages over imported brands, theMost of the foreign service providers only sell instruments, hardware and software packages, fixed and do not know how to adapt, and will not help domestic manufacturers to do customized solutions to suit local conditions, Thai shadow is perfect to fill this gap. "

Software technology solutions accounted for most of the company's total business, years of technical precipitation also let Tai shadow technology to obtain dozens of software copyrights as well as a number of patented inventions, Li Lei is full of confidence in their own products, all the software has encryption program to prevent damage and piracy, if the customer has an iterative upgrade needs, then the original system is upgraded on the upgrading.

Li Lei's decision proved to be quite wise, three years of the epidemic, so that the enterprise R & D and customer docking time costs are greatly increased, howeverThanks to the asset-light, technology-heavy entrepreneurial philosophy, which allowed Thai Shadow to ride out this black swan event unscathed.And the company also opened its own factory in Suzhou.

Third, no regrets entrepreneurial road, Thai shadow to the future

Along the way, Tai Ying has made many customers and good karma. Li Lei often reminds himself: If we focus on the price of the product or profit performance, we will lose our way. To do the industry needs CT products, from the customer's point of view and requirements, fully understand their pain points, in order to make a good product, so as to have a greater value embodiment. It is also this kind of drilling and spiritual strength, so that many customers who were not able to sign the cooperation at the beginning took the initiative to find back to the Thai shadow technology to reach a cooperative project, to achieve a win-win situation.

Li Lei said: "Starting my own business was the result of much deliberation, and if I had to do it all over again I would still choose to go down the entrepreneurial path. For one thing.Want to realize the value of their own lives through entrepreneurship, the second is to want to do through entrepreneurship and Thai shadow to do some content and products that can bring value to the community, or the emergence of Thai shadow can promote the industry to move forward a little bit, and the third is that regardless of the success of entrepreneurship, the future recalls at least do not have any regrets! . "

Finally, Li Lei said: The hardship and effort on the road of entrepreneurship is unimaginable to ordinary people, and every entrepreneur who struggles on the road deserves admiration and respect!

At present, Thai Shadow has been selected as a national high-tech enterprise, science and technology-based small and medium-sized enterprises, and has obtained dozens of software copyrights. It has cooperated with BYD, Beehive and other enterprises in a wide range of fields, with the beautiful vision of making industrial CT inspection faster, making CT affordable for the whole industry, and assisting the national intelligent manufacturing industry to upgrade in the field of industrial CT to move forward and flourish.
