What ABD does

ABD (Jiangsu Huiyan Data Technology Co., Ltd.) is a Wuxi-headquartered AI computer vision company founded in 2009 that has spent 15 years focused on real-time passenger flow analytics. The company builds dedicated AI people-counting cameras (monocular, binocular, and dome form factors, with hardware designs that have received a German Red Dot Award) and layers proprietary algorithms on top — including ReID-based person tracking, human skeleton recognition, multi-object detection, deep learning, and edge computing — to deliver capabilities such as AI passenger flow counting, human body behavior analysis, AI remote inspection, product pickup recognition, and personnel density analysis.

The company packages this technology into seven vertical solutions: smart automotive, smart factory, smart scenic spots, smart malls, smart retail stores, smart transportation, and smart exhibitions. Revenue is generated through a combination of hardware sales and software/analytics subscriptions/licenses, sold via a direct enterprise sales motion. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is handled on a per-customer consultation basis. The company is publicly listed on China's National Equities Exchange and Quotations (NEEQ) under stock code 838473 since 2016, and has been recognized as a 2023 Provincial Specialized, Special and New ("专精特新") SME.

The customer base is diversified across enterprise-grade names in commercial real estate (Longfor, Wanda, Wuyue across multiple properties), automotive OEMs (Lynk & Co, BYD, Lexus, Dreame Technology), brand chains (Samsung, Li-Ning), and major exhibitions (Beijing/Shanghai International Auto Shows, AWE). A March 2024 partnership with Huaiyin Institute of Technology and two product system launches in 2024 (smart store and exhibition systems) suggest continued investment in R&D and vertical extension.

Revenue model

1. AI客流统计分析系统 (软硬件一体解决方案): ABD sells integrated AI客流统计分析 solutions combining proprietary hardware (客流一体机 cameras) with software platforms (客流统计分析软件). The system includes real-time客流监测, customer demographics (gender/age), heat maps, flow trajectories, and remote inspection capabilities. Revenue is generated from hardware device sales, software platform licensing/subscriptions, installation services, and ongoing maintenance.
2. 智慧解决方案 (Smart Vertical Solutions): Sector-specific solutions for智慧汽车, 智慧工厂, 智慧景区, 智慧商场, 智慧门店, 智慧展会, and智慧交通. Each vertical tailors the core客流/AI technology to industry-specific workflows (e.g., automotive dealership客流/vehicle flow analysis, factory safety monitoring). Sold as project-based or subscription contracts.
3. 硬件产品销售: Sales of proprietary hardware products including单目智能客流一体机, 双目智能客流一体机, and球机智能客流一体机. These AI-enabled cameras serve as the前端data collection devices for the broader system.
