What Vscan does

Vscan (韦士肯), legally Vscan Weishiken (China) Co., Ltd. (韦士肯(中国)有限公司), is a Suzhou-headquartered Chinese industrial non-destructive testing (NDT) equipment manufacturer founded in 2017 (relocating its headquarters from Xiamen to Suzhou High-Tech Zone in November 2020). The company designs, produces, and services 'ON-LINE' fully automated smart NDT systems that combine optical, eddy current, ultrasonic, and electromagnetic wave technologies with proprietary AI imaging detection (self-developed 'optical flow + matrix neural network' algorithms) and integrated MES/SPC data management software. Its product portfolio spans handheld and online eddy current detectors, smart ultrasonic flaw detectors, AI vision inspection systems, DR X-ray systems, LVDT sensors, and customized inspection lines for bearings (industrial, automotive, wind power, rail, aviation), new-energy batteries, automotive paint and wheel hubs, metallurgy, and semiconductors. Approximately 70% of its 180+ employees are in R&D and technical services, with R&D centers in Suzhou, Xiamen, and California.

Vscan sells primarily through direct enterprise sales to large listed manufacturers and state-owned enterprises, supported by 10+ application service centers across China and overseas offices in the US and UK. The business model is hardware-led and project-based, with quote-based pricing on customized non-standard systems, multi-year contracts, and recurring technical service revenue; MES/SPC software is largely bundled with the equipment. Reference customers include CATL, BYD, CNNP, China Power, Baowu, AVIC, COMAC, AECC, SKF, Schaeffler, GM, Honda, CALB, Luoyang Bearing, Wuzhou Xinchun, and Hilong Petroleum. In June 2024 Vscan began IPO tutoring for the Shanghai STAR Market and in December 2024 created dedicated New Energy and Semiconductor Testing divisions to expand its vertical footprint.
