What Hanwang Technology does

Hanwang Technology (汉王科技) is a Beijing-headquartered, publicly listed Chinese AI company (Shenzhen Stock Exchange: 002362, IPO 2010) founded in 1998 that develops recognition technologies and intelligent interactive products across consumer, enterprise, and government markets. Its core technology stack spans handwriting recognition (supporting 70+ languages, National Science and Technology Progress Award First Class), OCR (National Award Second Class), face and biometric recognition (Beijing Award Second Class), NLP, pen touch/trajectory, Korotkoff sound electronic blood pressure measurement, and bionic olfactory sensing (1500+ receptor library), supported by an in-house Tian Di multimodal AI model alongside integrations with DeepSeek, Tongyi Qianwen, and Doubao LLMs. The company operates 12 wholly-owned subsidiaries and runs a 130-acre manufacturing facility in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region.

The company monetizes through a diversified multi-stream model: (1) consumer hardware sales — e-readers (Clear7 Jinli, Clear6 Turbo, N10/M10 e-paper notebooks), recording notepads (M6), blood pressure monitors, air quality detectors, scanners, dictionary pens, and Go Go Bird bionic flying toys — sold via Tmall, JD.com, Douyin flagship stores, official mall.hw99.com, and authorized dealers across 10+ Chinese cities; (2) technology licensing of proprietary SDKs (handwriting, OCR, NLP, face recognition, pen touch) deployed as SDK, cloud, or private cloud; (3) AI-driven vertical solutions for smart buildings, smart campuses, paperless meetings, education informatization, and air quality monitoring deployed at marquee accounts including China Mobile, Bank of China, Beijing Daxing Airport, Beijing Metro, and State Grid; and (4) software products including the Hanwang Scan King app. Hardware is sold primarily as one-time perpetual licenses at prices from 799 yuan (entry-level) to 5,280 yuan (premium bilingual education), while licensing is structured as multi-year enterprise contracts.

Hanwang targets six customer segments: government and enterprise security, financial and government document processing, digital arts and education, healthcare and consumer wellness, medical institutions and home health, and enterprise office automation. In 2025 it ranked #1 in e-paper tablet sales on traditional mainstream Chinese e-commerce platforms, validating its consumer hardware scale despite operating exclusively within China. Its most strategically significant recent moves are the April 2026 strategic partnership with JD Health to scale its Korotkoff blood pressure monitor business across 20 cities, and the rapid AI integration of its e-reader and recording notepad product lines with leading Chinese large language models.
