Recently, Shenzhen Hardcity Information Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Hardcity") announced that it has completed a C2 round of financing of RMB150 million, with joint investment from Beijing Zhilai Investment, Anhui Jiangnan Industrial Investment, Beijing Hanyuan Capital and other institutions.

Hardcity is an electronic components B2B platform. Based on big data and artificial intelligence, it establishes a database of electronic components, intelligent systems and complete supply chain SaaS services, gradually realizing the standardization and intelligence of trading and services, providing small and medium-sized electronic manufacturing enterprises with visual electronic components online trading, risk control, BOM management and other services.

Over the past few years, Hardcity has made a leap in its transformation from manufacturing to intelligent manufacturing. Hardcity relies on "PCB+components+SMT" three engines to build one-stop digitalized EMS services, covering the entire process from design selection to mass production and testing in 72 hours, with an intelligent BOM system that can quote in 3 seconds and a 98% material matching rate. Its quality control system has passed UL, IATF16949, ISO13485 and other national and international certifications.

Hardcity's factory cluster is expanding rapidly, with three production bases in Shenzhen, Jiangsu and Anhui, with a monthly capacity of 1216 million points and a yield rate of 99.99%. Its PCB factory has a capacity of over 25,000 square meters per month and supports 60-layer high-precision boards and 0.1mm micro-spacing processes. The BOM intelligent center integrates a database of 45 million electronic components, and AI algorithms achieve 20% cost optimization. Its unique risk warning system can monitor 138 compliance indicators such as PCN/ROHS in real time. In addition, the BOM intelligent center supports flexible configuration in multiple scenarios, with a 300% improvement in R&D procurement efficiency.

It is reported that this financing marks the formal entry of Hardcity into the strategic acceleration period, and the funds will be mainly used to upgrade intelligent manufacturing capabilities. The company will expand high-precision PCB/SMT production lines to achieve fast and accurate delivery in 72 hours; deepen digital infrastructure, upgrade the intelligent MES 4.0 system based on AI, and build an industrial collaboration cloud platform; expand the ecosystem, deepen the layout of automotive, energy storage, industrial products, and expand new tracks in the medical electronics industry.
