On July 30, the inauguration of the Jiangsu Artificial Intelligence Industry Alliance and the 2026 Conference on AI-Empowered Industrial Innovation and Development were held. During the event, the 2026 Jiangsu Province Recommended Directory of Key AI Service Providers was officially released. Suzhou APQ IoT Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “APQ”) was selected in the “New Infrastructure Service Provider” category in recognition of its technological expertise and extensive application experience in industrial AI edge computing and embodied intelligence controllers.
The directory was evaluated under the organization of the Jiangsu Artificial Intelligence Industry Association through voluntary application, qualification review, expert assessment, and public announcement. It is intended to identify AI enterprises with strong technical capabilities and high-quality, effective services, providing an authoritative reference for intelligent transformation, industrial upgrading, and cross-industry cooperation. APQ’s inclusion represents authoritative recognition of its technical strength and industry standing in the integrated innovation of AI and manufacturing.
Advancing Industrial AI through Scenario-Driven Innovation
Founded in 2009 and headquartered in Suzhou, APQ is a high-tech enterprise with fully in-house hardware and software capabilities covering the design, R&D, manufacturing, sales, and delivery of industrial AI computers. The company has remained focused on industrial AI edge computing, providing customers with more reliable integrated industrial edge intelligent computing solutions. In 2022, APQ relocated its headquarters to Suzhou, establishing a dual-city operating model of “Suzhou Operations + Chengdu R&D.” APQ’s current product portfolio includes industrial PCs, industrial all-in-one PCs, industrial displays, industrial motherboards, industry-specific controllers, and other IPC products. It has also developed complementary software products including IPC SmartMate and IPC SmartManager. APQ has established a comprehensive presence across machine vision, motion control, embodied intelligence, and industrial digitalization, with products exported to more than 20 countries and regions worldwide.
At the product and technology level, APQ pioneered the concept of the “E-Smart IPC Industrial Intelligent Brain.” By integrating AI with its toolchain, the platform enables equipment self-perception and self-maintenance, accelerating the evolution of industrial equipment into intelligent agents. APQ has also independently developed core perception-and-motion controllers for embodied intelligent robots, featuring multimodal perception, real-time decision-making, and precise control. These controllers can be widely applied in high-precision scenarios such as inspection, operation and maintenance, and material handling. For embodied intelligence applications, APQ’s TER Series controllers adopt an innovative dual-domain fusion architecture, integrating up to 275 TOPS of computing power within a compact footprint. The platform can run multimodal vision models smoothly while maintaining real-time motion-control response, and has already achieved large-scale deployment among several leading robotics companies.
Multiple Honors Demonstrate Broad Industry Recognition
Since the beginning of the year, APQ has received a series of positive recognitions. In AI- and intelligent-manufacturing-related selections at both the municipal and district levels, APQ secured three major honors: inclusion in the Suzhou Industrial Vertical Large Model Development List; selection for Xiangcheng District’s first group of Digital Intelligence Economy Scenario Open Innovation Centers under the “Xiangcheng + Innovation” initiative; and recognition of the “Application of Core Perception-and-Motion Controllers for Embodied Intelligent Robots in Industrial and Other Real-World Scenarios” as a Typical Application Scenario for AI-Empowered New Industrialization in Xiangcheng District. APQ had previously been recognized as one of China’s Top 20 Edge Computing Enterprises, a Jiangsu High-Tech Enterprise, a Jiangsu Specialized, Refined, and Innovative SME, and a Suzhou Gazelle Enterprise.
APQ’s inclusion in the 2026 Jiangsu Province Recommended Directory of Key AI Service Providers is another affirmation of its R&D philosophy of “originating from real-world scenarios and returning value to those scenarios.” Going forward, APQ will continue to advance the integration of the Industrial Internet of Things and artificial intelligence. Through more independently developed intelligent products and solutions, the company aims to support high-quality manufacturing development and contribute to the creation of a secure, reliable, and efficient digital-intelligent industrial ecosystem.
