On August 12, 2026, the 2026 (5th) High-Tech Welding Robot Technology and Application Summit was held in Shanghai. Nanjing Hexin Automation Co., Ltd. was awarded the “China Intelligent Welding Industry Chain Pioneer Advanced Technology Award” for its innovative breakthroughs in multi-modal laser‑vision weld seam recognition and autonomous path planning technologies.

The High-Tech Welding Robot Summit is an influential industry‑wide forum for advancing welding automation. This award underscores the industry chain’s recognition of Nanjing Hexin’s technological expertise in intelligent welding sensing, decision‑making, and process control.

Fully developed in-house, solving the challenges of complex operating conditions.

Addressing the demand for welding automation under complex operating conditions, Nanjing Hexin has independently developed a multimodal laser‑vision system for weld‑groove and seam‑edge recognition, along with an autonomous bead‑placement algorithm. The system adopts a large‑scale, multi‑task architecture for arc welding, integrating techniques such as feature retrieval and enhanced generative modeling, and seamlessly fusing data‑driven and knowledge‑driven approaches to enhance the versatility and reliability of welding perception and decision‑making. At the sensing level, the system integrates multi‑source sensors—including laser vision, infrared, and RGB‑D depth cameras—and leverages deep learning algorithms like convolutional neural networks and PointNet++ to effectively mitigate interference from intense arc light, spatter, and workpiece occlusion, enabling high‑precision weld‑seam detection and tracking with positioning errors kept within ±0.1 mm. On the process side, the system relies on real‑time groove‑geometry data and combines this with welding‑deformation control strategies and an intelligent multi‑layer, multi‑pass bead‑placement algorithm. It adaptively optimizes bead layout, process parameters, and welding paths according to varying groove geometries and joint configurations, providing end‑to‑end intelligent support for welding thick plates and irregularly shaped components.

Widespread adoption across multiple industries, with mature engineering capabilities.

Currently, this technology has been deployed across sectors including shipbuilding, nuclear power facilities, heavy equipment manufacturing, and steel structures, helping customers enhance the consistency of weld quality, reduce reliance on highly skilled labor, and deliver intelligent welding solutions that are highly adaptable and exceptionally reliable for complex welding applications.

This award recognizes Nanjing Hexin’s long-standing commitment to the intelligent welding sector. As a provider of end-to-end industrial automation solutions, the company will continue to strengthen its integrated capabilities across “processes, equipment, and systems,” deeply embedding intelligent welding technologies into comprehensive automation line designs. By doing so, we will help our customers transition from point‑wise intelligence to system‑wide smartness, contributing Hexin’s expertise to the digital transformation and intelligent upgrading of the manufacturing industry.
