What PCITECH does

PCI Technology Group Co., Ltd. (PCITECH, 佳都科技) is a publicly-listed Chinese technology company (Shanghai Stock Exchange ticker 600728), founded in 1992 and headquartered in Guangzhou, that builds AI-driven solutions for urban transportation and city governance. Its primary product lines span four segments: (1) smart rail transit, including the Huajia Mos Smart Metro Brain (智慧运营管控平台/华佳Mos), AFC automatic fare collection systems, PSD platform screen doors, ISCS integrated supervision and control systems, and station communication systems; (2) smart urban traffic, anchored by the IDPS Urban Traffic Brain (IDPS城市交通大脑), which performs real-time online twin computing across ten-thousand-level intersections, hundred-thousand-level road sections, and million-level vehicles; (3) smart city governance, including video surveillance, public security, emergency management, and smart park solutions; and (4) enterprise digital upgrade ICT lifecycle services. The technology stack combines computer vision, intelligent big data, knowledge graphs, digital twins, and industrial control systems, with proprietary assets including the PCI Zhixing Transportation Large Model (佳都知行交通大模型), billed as the world's first transportation-industry AI large model with national network security dual-filing certification, and Traffic Jia Hong (交通佳鸿), an OpenHarmony-based IoT operating system for urban cluster three-dimensional transportation developed under MIIT guidance.

PCITECH generates revenue primarily through large-scale, multi-year government and enterprise project contracts — system integration, equipment supply, and managed services for rail transit operators, traffic management bureaus, and public security departments. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; the company secures wins through competitive bidding processes with named anchor contracts at Guangzhou Metro, Changsha Metro, Chengdu Metro, Shanghai Traffic Management, Ningbo Metro, Xi'an Metro, Dongguan Metro, and others. Cumulative disclosed contract value is described as exceeding 100 billion yuan across more than 100 metro line projects in 40+ cities, with cumulative national invention patents and software copyrights exceeding 2,000 items. The go-to-market motion is enterprise field sales: direct bidding on government tenders, with sales cycles driven by public procurement timelines and supplemented by six regional offices (Beijing, Shenzhen, Chengdu, Changsha, Hefei, plus Guangzhou HQ).

The company invests in and incubates a broader technology ecosystem through its PCI Future Community (PCI·未来社区) national-level business incubator, which hosts over 150 technology enterprises and has produced successful STAR Market listings including CloudWalk (云从科技) and Orbbec (奥比中光). It has executed strategic acquisitions of Hua Zhi Yuan (华之源, 2016) and Fangwei Technology (方纬科技, 2016) to deepen rail transit communications and IDPS traffic capabilities respectively, and minority investments in Qianshitong (千视通, video AI), Ruifan Technology (睿帆科技, big data), Unity China (3D engine), and Traffic Control Technology (交控科技, rail signaling). Joint ventures include the Greater Bay Area Rail Transit Industry Investment Group (大湾区轨交产投集团, 2021), JiaKong Intelligence (佳控智能, 2025) with Dongguan Metro and Traffic Control Technology for air-ground-tunnel three-dimensional transportation, and a 2025 rail signaling joint venture with Siemens and International Industrial. The company is designated a "double chain master" enterprise for Guangzhou's AI and rail transit industry chains.
