From Losing Sight in My Right Eye to Founding Guanshi Intelligence: For Better Perception of the World
Published on: October 25, 2024 | Author: Andy
Hello everyone, I’m Andy, the founder of Suzhou Guanshi Intelligence Technology Co., Ltd.
Today, I would like to share why I started this company, and the personal experience that deeply influenced this decision.
Regaining Perception
When I was 19, I experienced temporary blindness in my right eye for a period of time. That time in my life was like a journey through darkness. Fortunately, after treatment, my vision gradually recovered. But in that moment, I deeply realized how precious perception is. For many, vision is taken for granted, but losing it made me aware of how limited and fragile human perception truly is. This experience profoundly influenced my later career choices.
The Purpose Behind Founding Guanshi Intelligence
Founding Suzhou Guanshi Intelligence Technology Co., Ltd. was not a sudden decision. My experience made me understand that perception is not only crucial for humans but also for machines and intelligent systems. I wanted to use advanced technology to help both humans and machines perceive the world better. Our mission is simple — For Better Perception of the World. It reminds me of an ancient Chinese story, “The Blind Men and the Elephant.” This story teaches us that limited perception can often lead to misunderstanding. I want to break that limitation, enabling the world to be perceived more comprehensively and accurately.
Focusing on 3D TOF Technology and Innovation
In the field of technology, 3D TOF (Time of Flight) technology provides us with unprecedented multi-dimensional perception capabilities. By measuring the time it takes for light pulses to travel, we can accurately construct a three-dimensional image of objects. Traditional imaging methods often lack depth information, but 3D TOF not only solves this problem but also opens up new application scenarios such as autonomous driving, virtual reality, and facial recognition.
Our company is committed to becoming a global leader in multi-dimensional perception solutions. This is not just a goal, but a vision. We aim to drive industry development through technological innovation, bringing more value to the market and our customers.
Personal and Company Growth in Parallel
On August 15, 2023, Suzhou Guanshi Intelligence Technology Co., Ltd. was officially established. This all stemmed from my love for technology and my pursuit of better perception of the world. I often say that once you make up your mind to do something, you’re already halfway to success. Of course, the remaining half is not easy, just like when my family and I recently took on a 248-kilometer cycling challenge around Lake Tai. If it hadn’t been for my 11-year-old son constantly encouraging us, we probably wouldn’t have started, let alone completed the journey. It’s easy to give up, but persistence is hard.
The company’s growth follows a similar path. We completed our first TOF product prototype within just a year, but there are still many challenges ahead. We firmly believe that focus is the key to success. The market is full of seemingly useful information that may actually be distractions. We will continue to focus on developing core technologies and keep moving forward.
The Future Vision of Guanshi Intelligence
Today, we have officially settled in Suzhou Dushu Lake East Creative Park, and are preparing to attract more talent to accelerate the company’s growth. We adopt a partnership model to maximize everyone’s abilities and value. I firmly believe that taking small, steady steps is the best way for us to advance.
Guanshi Intelligence's core team consists of professionals with deep expertise in intelligent vision and 3D imaging, with extensive research and development experience. Our team adheres to independent innovation, which is our most important competitive advantage. At the same time, we understand that customer trust and support are the driving forces behind the company’s development. We uphold the philosophy of “Professionalism, Innovation, Service,” and are committed to providing the best products and services to our customers, creating greater value.
Conclusion
As the founder of SGI, I have experienced the journey from losing and regaining personal perception to creating a company focused on multi-dimensional perception solutions. The road ahead is long, but we are full of confidence because we believe that technological innovation and focus are the keys to success.
