The deep integration of AI and connection technology has upgraded electronic components from "basic components" to "scene enablers". The technological layout of enterprises like Qualcomm and the practices of their Chinese partners present a true picture of the implementation of the Internet of Things.
Technical foundation: The "Yuelong" chip activates edge intelligence
The "Leap Dragon" brand launched by Qualcomm in 2025 has become the core engine of the industrial Internet of Things. Its QCM6490 chip platform, with its low power consumption and high computing power, supports Bangbang Robotics in creating a flagship-level intelligent electric wheelchair, achieving humanized travel assistance through the Agalxi multi-purpose chip solution. The QCS8550 platform empowers Shilai to develop the world's only consumer-grade intelligent spatial video camera, SLAM XCAM. It can complete the entire process of shooting and editing without external devices, injecting vitality into the AR/VR ecosystem. These chips deeply integrate edge-side AI, high-performance computing and connectivity capabilities, increasing the response speed of devices by more than 30%.
Global Scenario: Chinese solutions address overseas pain points
The value of the Internet of Things is fully unleashed in specific scenarios: In the corn base of Kazakhstan, the intelligent agricultural robot based on the Yuelong platform enables "one person to manage a thousand mu". The Thai farmers' protection team has solved the problem of wild boar harassment with the help of Internet of Things trackers. The AI sorting solution of Baowat, a subsidiary of Quectel Communications, achieves a detection rate of over 95% relying on the QCS6490 chip, helping color sorter enterprises open up overseas markets. Even more groundbreaking is the Tihu robot T170 "Yaoguang", a humanoid robot equipped with QCS8550. This robot is 20-40% lighter than similar products and can adapt to extreme environments such as deep diving to 800 meters and high-voltage power grids, enabling flexible operations in scenarios like homes and factories.
Ecological logic: From technology supply to value co-creation
Qualcomm's service experience with 16,000 iot customers shows that the competitiveness of component enterprises is no longer limited to product performance. Through the "chip platform + module solution + partner ecosystem" model, Qualcomm has collaborated with nearly 100 Chinese enterprises over the past five years to create more than 170 cases, covering ten major industries including industry, agriculture, AR/VR, etc. This path of "technology empowerment + scene co-creation" has enabled Chinese intelligent agricultural machinery, robots and other products to open up the global market through differentiated innovation.
