Keli Sensing Technology

What Keli Sensing Technology does

Keli Sensing Technology Co., Ltd. (宁波柯力传感科技股份有限公司, stock code 603662 on the Shanghai Stock Exchange) is a China-based designer, manufacturer, and ecosystem builder of industrial sensors and industrial Internet-of-Things systems. Founded in 1995 and headquartered in Ningbo with seven production bases across China, the company sells approximately twenty sensor categories — including weighing, force, optical, gas, water-quality, current/voltage, displacement, temperature/humidity/pressure, flow, vibration, laser-ranging, 3D vision, and robot multi-axis force sensors — together with associated instruments (display, transmitter, industrial-control) and end-to-end IoT solutions.

The company operates a "platform + products" architecture. Its core offerings include multi-physical-quantity sensors that fuse multiple measurement parameters into a single sensing terminal; a robot-sensor line covering six-axis force (KL6F-B90/B75/C96, KL6D-A90-A series), three-axis force, joint torque (JTS, JTS06-D, JTSC), and micro-force sensors; and an Industrial Brain (产业大脑) platform plus an online store (expo.brainzncgqai.com) used for distribution. Around this product platform Keli has assembled a "Sensor Forest" industrial chain through 27 controlled subsidiaries and 11 minority investments spanning Ningbo, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Fuzhou, Zhengzhou, Suzhou, and Chizhou, plus three industrial parks and is publicly pursuing humanoid/industrial-robot sensing through invested names such as SenCloud Intelligent (an NVIDIA elite partner).

Keli's commercial model is multi-channel: direct enterprise sales via a national team and regional offices (Ningbo HQ, Beijing, Nanjing, Jiangsu), partner/reseller coverage through its controlled-and-minority subsidiary network, an export team attending overseas exhibitions, and an in-house e-commerce storefront. Revenue is generated primarily through hardware sales of sensors and instruments, complemented by industrial-IoT solution sales, third-party operating services (e.g., a dry-mortar IoT information platform), industrial-park tenant and rental income, and investment returns from its industrial fund. The company serves industrial-scale customers across industrial weighing and measurement, intelligent logistics and warehousing, energy and environmental monitoring, smart-city infrastructure (non-stop vehicle detection, mine exploration, construction machinery IoT), and livestock; in 2025-2026 it has been actively positioning its robot sensors for humanoid and industrial-robot OEMs.
