90% of artificial intelligence is still losing money? This Shenzhen company has been profitable for many years.

At present, the application fields and profit problems of artificial intelligence still plague most participants in this industry. However, a company in Shenzhen has made great achievements in application and business exploration.

Few people have noticed that a large number of artificial intelligence devices are using the solutions provided by Eliot.

"ID card identification, epidemic prevention and control, face recognition of Chinese college entrance examination candidates, fingerprint identification of Indian EID project, multi-national election biometric system, etc. Are using our biometric solutions and equipment. " Yu Shao said that Eliot didn't regard artificial intelligence as a very empty thing, but turned it into a very "real" product that people could pay for.

According to Elliott's introduction, Elliott provides an AI industry solution of "algorithm+chip+intelligent hardware+platform+application" in the industry through multi-modal biometric core technologies such as fingerprint, face, iris, emotion and behavior, and then expands application customers in different vertical fields.

According to reports, Eliot holds nearly 200 patents on multimodal biometric technology, and his biometric algorithms and products have passed the GA evaluation of relevant departments in China, the national standard certification of STQC in India and the certification of MINEX/ FBI in the United States. Related products and solutions have landed in more than 30 provinces and cities across the country, and sold to Asia, Africa, the United States, Latin America and other countries 10, providing biometric products and services for people of different races around the world.

On July 7th, 20021year, Eliot presented the "Grand View World" digital city integrated management platform at the World Artificial Intelligence Conference. The platform adopts a software and hardware integrated product architecture consisting of "chips and algorithms+engines+platforms+applications", and its main purpose is to make artificial intelligence come to the ground in various industries.

According to reports, Elliott's actual applications in China and Taiwan include: Zhi 'an community management, sunshine catering food safety, urban public rental housing management, smart park management, epidemic prevention and control, and smart hotels. In addition, social governance and service solutions for many different industries, such as bright kitchen, easy access and living, have been launched one after another.

For example, Eliot's "One Netcom Office" intelligent terminal allows people to handle ID cards, Hong Kong and Macao passes, residence permits and other documents by themselves through the "One Netcom Office" intelligent terminal;

In the smart hotel solution, guests can self-service face authentication at the front desk, automatically obtain a room card, and authorize to open a room through identity documents or biometrics; When you check out, you can complete the check-out and invoice collection yourself, which is convenient and fast. The solution can also be used in urban public service management fields such as long-term rental housing and welfare housing.

In emotional computing products, it is through emotional computing research that a computing system is created that can perceive, recognize and understand people's emotions, and make an intelligent, sensitive and friendly response to people's emotions, that is, it gives computers the ability to observe, understand and generate various emotional characteristics like people.

Yu Shao said that Elliott's core is "soft and hard computing of supply", the software algorithms are independently developed, with the accumulation of 17 years, and the hardware is also designed by the company itself. Starting from the motherboard, chips, biometric chips and other chips are self-developed, and finally the supply capacity. Elliot has his own intelligent factory, which can provide automatic intelligent equipment to the market.

Elliott said that the company's annual investment in technology research and development has reached nearly 20%, and the investment ratio is not lower than that of head technology enterprises.

An Hui, Secretary General of AI Industry Innovation Alliance, published a report showing that nearly 90% of AI companies in the world are still losing money, and more than 90% of enterprises in China AI industry chain are also losing money.

However, Elliot has made a profit. In the absence of capital intervention, Eliot achieved sustained profitability, in addition to technology, but also partly because of its own positioning.

Judging from Eliot's profit model, many mainstream artificial intelligence companies are Eliot's customers. Eliot's direction is to provide services at both the front end of technology and the back end of supply chain, rather than becoming a large-scale artificial intelligence solution integrator. This positioning also makes Eliot a special existence in the fierce artificial intelligence war.

"Our technology needs to be integrated. We don't integrate others Integration is for numbers, and we are for technology, "Yu Shao said.

Yu Shao defined Eliot as an old gun, not a unicorn.

"Eliot provides ability, not relations of production. Eliot only empowers the industry, and any industry needs empowerment. " Yu Shao said that only by mastering the core technology, remaining lonely and striving for victory in stability can we go far.
