October 29, 2025-At the CeMAT ASIA 2025 exhibition site, ReinOCS, the automotive optoelectronics brand under Zhongji Innolight ("ReinOCS"), and Hangzhou KNEWBOTS Intelligent Co., Ltd. (KNEWBOTS), a subsidiary of Thundersoft ("KNEWBOTS Intelligent"), formally signed a strategic cooperation agreement at Booth N1-B3 of CeMAT ASIA 2025.

Leveraging their respective core strengths in the optical communication and robotics industries, the two parties aim to address the demands of technological transformation in the AI era. They will collaboratively define robotic applications for the optical communication industry, integrate cutting-edge technologies to create an innovative ecosystem, establish benchmark application scenarios, and contribute to the high-quality development of the global robotics industry.

ReinOCS, a technology company under Zhongji Innolight focused on intelligent perception and display technologies, leverages its parent company's deep expertise in optical communication and optoelectronics to advance technological evolution in smart mobility and future perception. Its business spans automotive and non-automotive sectors, concentrating on core areas like intelligent driving, connectivity, displays, and sensing. Possessing system-level R&D and integration capabilities, ReinOCS combines key optoelectronic technologies for perception, transmission, and display to provide highly reliable, integrated solutions for smart vehicles, industrial automation, and smart cities.

KNEWBOTS Intelligent, a mobile robotics company invested in by Thundersoft, has proposed a "Software-Defined Robots" strategy in response to the demands of the robotics era. This strategy aims to address the challenges of standardized delivery in diverse application scenarios through software algorithm capabilities, collaborating with the industry chain to redefine a new generation of intelligent robots. Technologically, KNEWBOTS Intelligent focuses on breakthroughs in four core areas: motion control, positioning/navigation, perception/recognition, and cluster scheduling. With two main product lines – autonomous guided vehicles and forklift robots – it has built a software-centric mobile robot product matrix.

ReinOCS's "Optical Communication + Perception" capabilities naturally complement Thundersoft's "Robotics and Automotive" businesses. According to the agreement, the collaboration will focus on three core areas: robotics, smart vehicles, and high-end sensors, driving technology and product innovation around the theme of "Optical Communication Enables Efficient Collaboration." By combining ReinOCS's expertise in automotive optical communication and high-end sensors with Thundersoft's innovative products, solutions, and industry experience in robotics and smart vehicles, the partners will jointly define optical communication standards and protocols for intelligent terminals in the AI era, promoting the widespread application of optical communication technology in the robotics and automotive industries.

Zheng Xuezhe, CTO of ReinOCS, stated: "Optical communication is the core carrier for 'data flow' in the AI era. ReinOCS is always committed to empowering the interconnection of all things through optical communication technology-our optical communication products provide more stable and efficient information transmission support for scenarios like smart cockpits and assisted driving, creating efficient channels for the massive data transmission required at the perception layer of robots. Concurrently, our advancing high-end sensor products are accelerating to meet the perception demands of complex robotic scenarios. The high-quality products from Thundersoft-invested KNEWBOTS Intelligent in the robotics field will inject stronger scenario penetration capabilities into smart manufacturing. Our cooperation will precisely construct a complete technological closed-loop of 'Perception - Transmission - Computation.' This loop will not only build a more competitive underlying technological foundation for the robotics industry but also promote the deep integration of optical communication and robotics technologies, ultimately fostering a mutually beneficial and win-win intelligent industry ecosystem."

Zhao Rui, CEO of KNEWBOTS Intelligent, stated:"Scenario-based, data-driven capabilities will become the core value of robots in the AI era. KNEWBOTS Intelligent's mobile robot products, built on a self-developed high-performance robot control system core base, achieve full-stack in-house development from hardware, mechanical, and electrical components to software and core algorithms. We consistently prioritize customer satisfaction throughout the entire lifecycle, building a comprehensive service system covering 'Requirement Diagnosis - Solution Implementation - Operational Support - Value Upgrade.' With the optical communication industry experiencing rapid growth alongside recent advances in AI technology, ReinOCS, as a leading player in optical communication, is a high-quality strategic partner for Thundersoft and offers vast prospects for the implementation of KNEWBOTS Intelligent's 'Software-Defined Robots' strategy."

 

Moving forward, both parties will deepen collaboration based on strategic consensus, using the integrated innovation of "Optical Interconnection + Intelligent Robots" as a key driver. They aim to accelerate breakthroughs in industry application bottlenecks, jointly promote the large-scale penetration and commercial implementation of intelligent robotics technology in optical communication and other major industries, and help advance industrial digital transformation to a higher level.
