About ALiGN

AI Sparked, Future Lit

We are builders and practitioners, pioneers of digitalization and intelligence, committed to deeply integrating research, industry and application — writing the next chapter through action.

ALiGN works deep in industrial intelligence, empowering industry with generative AI. Anchored in ontology technology and industrial resources, we build the market for an industrial-grade AI operating system with leading enterprises — serving manufacturers as both their business and their organization become AI-native.

We do not patch AI onto the old way. With AI-native thinking, we rebuild how industrial business is expressed and executed. We connect and enhance existing systems rather than replacing systems of record; we execute under control rather than automating without boundaries.

The core team brings twenty-plus years in industry, drawing on the depth of Donghua University and Xi'an Jiaotong University in smart manufacturing, human–machine interaction and AI, and exploring emerging technologies together with industry leaders.

In one line: we do not replace the customer's systems — we let existing systems, data, models and agents operate together under one set of rules.

ALiGN
BRAND MARK

Identity

ALiGN began with one intent: to align artificial intelligence precisely with value. Our identity carries that commitment.

The blue “A” gives artificial intelligence a form — an open boundary of technology and a charge of innovation.

The blue dot on the “i” is the core of intelligence — the point where humans and AI meet at the level of wisdom.

Mission:Spark the light of intelligence, light up humanity's future.

Sparking the light of intelligence is not showing off. It is freeing people from forms, lookups and data moving, and returning them to creation, process and decision. We do not make people less relevant — we release them from low-value repetition.

Vision:Build the digital expressway of the AI-native era.

This road is understandable, executable, governable, replayable and continuously evolving — business and intelligence assets flow along it at speed. The end state is the AI-native enterprise: strategy, organization, process, data and execution built from the ground up to work with AI.

to where we are today.

2024.02

Company Founded

A team with over twenty years in industry, starting from one intent: align artificial intelligence precisely with value.

2024.07

Shanghai Joint Lab Established

Joint labs with universities turn engineering research into a technology foundation enterprises can use.

2024.08

Founding Team Assembled

Core members came together, setting the team's DNA: industrial depth plus AI R&D plus full-cycle delivery.

YEAR 1 · Foundation

Focus on the technology roadmap and the product's underlying architecture

We turned down short-term projects and spent a year making the foundation solid — never trading what is accumulable, governable and reusable for a one-off demo.

YEAR 2 · Closing the Loop

Deep Work with Lighthouse Customers

Completed the smallest commercial closed loop at scenario level — value proven in real production, not in a POC demo.

2026.03

Shenzhen Global Service & Customer Success Center Opens

Located at Lenovo Houhai Center, moving service capability closer to customers.

2026.04

INTELLiU “Qiyuan Edition” Released

Two years of technology accumulation: the product system takes shape and seven products ship in sequence.

NOW

Scale by Replication

Two tracks in parallel: replicating standardized scenarios and going deep with leading customers.

We look forward to building the future with you.
