Founded in 2013 by a team of Germany-educated doctoral scholars, RUHR IoT is a national high-tech enterprise dedicated to becoming a global leader in intelligent hardware-driven safety IoT services. Consistently recognized as a Hangzhou quasi-unicorn and a future Chinese unicorn, the company has been honored as a national "Specialized, Sophisticated, Distinctive, and Innovative" key little giant enterprise by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and a pioneer in Zhejiang Province’s first-set equipment innovation.

As a trailblazer and standard-setter in China’s safety IoT industry, RUHR IoT has spent over a decade refining its expertise. Leveraging intelligent hardware, a vertical-domain safety IoT model, and SSD Intelligence (Sensing-Service-Decision), the company has established itself as a core service provider across verticals such as natural environmental safety, infrastructure safety (transportation, water conservancy, lifeline systems), and industrial safety.

Committed to independent innovation, RUHR IoT has built a multidisciplinary R&D team led by two national-level experts, supported by over 40 overseas returnees and domestic top-university doctoral/master graduates, and backed by a 100-member full-time team. This talent powerhouse has driven the company to undertake 11 national and provincial key R&D projects, publish 20 standards (6 national, 1 industry), file 119 invention patents (70 granted), and secure listings for 12 innovations in ministerial and provincial promotion catalogs. Notable achievements include the Second Prize of Zhejiang Provincial Science and Technology Progress Award for "Intelligent Interconnected Monitoring Equipment and Early Warning Technology for Geological Hazards" and the Second Prize of China Transportation Association Science and Technology Award for slope stability and visual monitoring breakthroughs. In 2024, its joint academician workstation with CAS Academician Yang Jingsui was named a "Hangzhou Academician Workstation," marking a new pinnacle in industry-academia collaboration.

Today, RUHR IoT’s self-developed sensors and risk-prediction algorithms are deeply embedded in sectors spanning natural resources, environmental protection, transportation, water management, construction, and industrial safety. Its integrated product suite—featuring vision, BeiDou, accelerometer, and piezoelectric technologies—serves over 30 provinces, including Zhejiang, Chongqing, and Tibet. As a top-tier smart disaster prevention leader, the company has deployed 120,000+ sensors nationwide, issuing 100+ life-saving warnings that have safeguarded thousands.

Guided by its core philosophy of "Utmost Goodwill, Uncompromising Excellence," RUHR IoT integrates IoT, big data, and AI into safeguarding national infrastructure, fueling China’s digital transformation with security-driven innovation.
