In the Dayun AI Town of Honggang Street, Longgang District, Shenzhen, a national-level specialized and innovative ‘little giant’ enterprise is quietly changing the landscape of China’s sensor industry.
Shenzhen Xingjingcheng Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as ‘Xingjingcheng’) was established in 2009 and is a national high-tech enterprise focused on the research and production of smart sensors such as micro pressure, weighing, multi-axis force, and torque sensors. The company was recognized as a national-level specialized and innovative ‘little giant’ enterprise in October 2025. As one of the first technology-based startups in Dayun AI Town, the growth of Xingjingcheng reflects Shenzhen’s success in nurturing innovative small and medium-sized enterprises. With the application scenarios of industrial sensors expanding from 3C products like mobile phones and computers to more fields such as medical devices, new energy vehicles, and robotics, Xingjingcheng is experiencing rapid development.
01 Core Technology: From Micro Sensors to Six-Dimensional Force Sensing Technology
The core competitiveness of Xingjingcheng Technology lies in its sensor research and manufacturing technology. The company holds over 60 patents (including 5 invention patents related to six-dimensional force sensors and 9 utility model patents) and strictly implements management systems such as SGS-ISO9001, ISO14001, and ISO45001. Its six-dimensional force sensor is one of the products with the highest technical barriers. This sensor has a minimum diameter of only 9.5 mm and can reach a maximum of 300 mm. The force range spans from 5N to 50KN, and the torque range spans from 0.1N.m to 1000N.m. Compared to similar foreign products priced at tens of thousands of yuan each, Xingjingcheng’s six-dimensional force sensor is priced at only 2000 yuan. This significantly reduces the manufacturing costs of humanoid robots. Xingjingcheng’s product range is quite comprehensive, including multi-dimensional force sensors, torque sensors, pressure sensors, tension and pressure sensors, displacement sensors, control instruments, and in recent years, they have also developed and launched tension sensors.
02 Application Fields: From the 3C Industry to the Humanoid Robot Market
Xingjingcheng initially targeted the 3C (computer, communication, consumer electronics) industry. In 2010, leveraging product advantages and customer reputation, the company successfully secured sensor orders from Apple. In 2016, Xingjingcheng was the only sensor supplier from China to participate in Apple’s supplier conference held in the United States. Today, in the 3C industry alone, Xingjingcheng’s six-dimensional force sensors have an annual sales volume of over 2000 units. As the business expands, the company’s products have been applied in automation equipment, precision medical devices, new energy lithium batteries, robotics, semiconductors, and more. Foreign companies like ABB and Fanuc, as well as domestic companies like Dazhu and Yuejiang, have established deep cooperation with Xingjingcheng. In recent years, Xingjingcheng has begun to focus on the humanoid robot sector. According to data from Tesla’s ‘Optimus’, a humanoid robot requires about 40 force sensors. Xingjingcheng’s joint torque sensors are suitable for the joints of humanoid robots, while the six-dimensional force sensor with a diameter of 9.5 mm is suitable for installation at the fingertips of humanoid robots.
03 Company History: From Entrepreneurship in Longgang to National-Level ‘Little Giant’
Xingjingcheng Technology Co., Ltd. was founded in 2009 by General Manager Wu Meizhen and her partners, initially focusing on industrial sensors such as pressure sensors, micro force sensors, and high-precision weighing sensors. In 2015, the company relocated from Longgang Central City to Dayun AI Town in Honggang Street (formerly the 228 Industrial Park). “When we first came to Honggang, it was still a field of grass taller than a person,” Wu Meizhen recalled. In the early days of the move, there were four or five companies sharing a floor, while Xingjingcheng rented an entire floor alone. Over time, upstream and downstream companies gradually settled in, and the industrial chain became increasingly complete. With the support of departments such as Longgang District and Honggang Street Office, especially in terms of rent subsidies, Xingjingcheng was able to focus on product research and market promotion. After more than a decade of development, the company has grown from a small team to a research and development team of over 30 people, with offices in Suzhou and a branch factory in Huizhou.
04 Honggang Soil: A Quality Business Environment Cultivating ‘Little Giants’
The growth of Xingjingcheng is inseparable from the quality business environment of Honggang Street. In 2023, Honggang Street began systematically nurturing specialized and innovative enterprises, establishing a special cultivation database to lay the foundation for targeted development. The street formed a party member vanguard team for investment promotion, conducting over 20 investment activities, uncovering 14 projects with an investment amount of 2.8 billion yuan. At the same time, it deepened the ‘Ten Thousand Cadres Assist Enterprises’ initiative, innovatively establishing a service return visit mechanism, with party members and cadres visiting 501 enterprises and resolving 116 requests. In 2023, Honggang Street achieved a ‘zero breakthrough’ for ‘little giant’ enterprises. By 2025, Honggang Street added 4 new national-level ‘little giant’ enterprises, demonstrating significant results in enterprise cultivation efforts. These achievements are closely related to the precise services provided by Honggang Street. The street promotes a ‘dedicated follow-up by street personnel + coordination with city and district expert resources’ mechanism, focusing on point-to-point cultivation guidance, proactively diagnosing enterprises’ needs, and accurately assessing their development status and application shortcomings.
05 Future Prospects: Huge Space for Domestic Substitution in the Sensor Industry
With the national emphasis on the development of the robotics industry chain, tactile sensors, as the ‘tactile nerves’ of robots, have gained strategic importance at the national level. Both ‘Made in China 2025′ and the ’14th Five-Year Plan for Robotics Industry Development’ clearly state the need to focus on the development of tactile sensors. Research from the High-tech Robotics Industry Research Institute (GGII) shows that in the past two years, the sales of six-dimensional force sensors in the Chinese market have been continuously increasing. GGII believes that six-dimensional force sensors are expected to enter a high-speed growth period. Wu Hao predicts that the penetration rate of domestic sensors must reach at least 60% to meet the cost conditions for mass production of humanoid robots. Currently, Xingjingcheng’s production capacity has reached 1000 units per day, preparing to meet future market demands. Wu Hao, chairman of Xingjingcheng Sensors, has always harbored a patriotic sentiment: “My goal is to make high-quality, cost-effective force sensors accessible to all industries in China, so that we no longer have to suffer from technological bottlenecks.” In the fertile industrial soil of Honggang Street, a group of ‘little giant’ enterprises like Xingjingcheng is rapidly growing. As Honggang Street continues to optimize the business environment and adheres to the service principle of ‘no disturbance when there is nothing, and prompt response when there is something’, it is expected to cultivate more ‘invisible champions’ in niche fields. From mobile phones to medical devices, from new energy vehicles to humanoid robots, Xingjingcheng’s sensor products are penetrating various high-tech fields. This national-level specialized and innovative ‘little giant’ enterprise is moving towards the vision of ‘becoming a leading national brand in the global sensor industry’.
