Leaders of the Beijing Natural Science Foundation paid a visit to and conducted a research tour at Daina Technology.

On September 5, 2025, Wei Jin, Director of the Office of the Beijing Municipal Natural Science Foundation Committee, led a delegation to visit Beijing Dyna Experimental Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Dyna Technology”) to conduct a fact-finding mission on the company’s innovation and technological advancement. Luo Hu, Deputy Director of the Science and Information Bureau of Fengtai District, Chi Haipeng, Chairman of Dyna Technology, Dong Yuchong, Vice President, and other relevant leaders accompanied the visit.

The Beijing Natural Science Foundation is a provincial‑level research funding program established by the Beijing Municipal Government, primarily supporting basic and applied‑basic research in the natural sciences and interdisciplinary fields. Since 2014, the Foundation has actively explored diversified funding mechanisms, launching regional joint funds with districts such as Fengtai, Haidian, and Shunyi. Among these, the Fengtai Joint Fund has engaged eight key technology‑oriented enterprises from Fengtai District; Daina Technology, as one of them, annually issues recommendations for R&D project guidelines based on its own R&D needs and aligned with Beijing’s strategic priorities.

Director Wei Jin and his delegation gained an in-depth understanding of Daina Technology’s R&D and application efforts in the field of AI + Lights-out Laboratories, and inquired about the company’s questions and support needs during its participation in the joint fund.

At the symposium, Chi Haipeng introduced that the company’s independently developed “AI + Lights-out Laboratories” has achieved unattended operation and end-to-end closed-loop control, boosting the laboratory’s automation substitution rate to around 95% and increasing the efficiency of trial-and-error R&D and repetitive testing by up to approximately 480 times. The technology has already been deployed in fields such as chemical engineering, materials science, new energy, and biopharmaceuticals, leveraging high-quality data to drive model iteration, significantly reducing research costs, redefining performance benchmarks for smart laboratories, and providing a model for the further expansion of AI for Science.

Director Wei Jin fully commended Daina Technology’s achievements in the “AI for Science” field, noting that the Beijing Natural Science Foundation has long been committed to fostering deep integration between basic research and industrial development. The establishment of the joint fund aims to leverage the Foundation’s platform to identify and support outstanding research teams from diverse disciplines and backgrounds, enabling them to collaboratively explore cutting-edge directions and technologies while exposing researchers to real-world industrial needs and application scenarios, thereby facilitating the translation and practical deployment of scientific findings. She expressed the hope that Daina Technology will capitalize on its technological strengths in the dark‑room laboratory domain, forge close partnerships with the Beijing Natural Science Foundation, and jointly advance both fundamental research and technological innovation in this area.

Dai Na Technology Chairman Chi Haipeng stated: “We are deeply grateful for the long-term support and assistance provided by the Beijing Municipal Science & Technology Commission, the Zhongguancun Administrative Committee, and the Beijing Natural Science Foundation. Moving forward, we will actively respond to the calls of the national and Beijing municipal governments, continue to increase R&D investment, iteratively enhance the technologies and products of our AI + Lights-out Laboratories, and steadily strengthen our technological innovation capabilities and core competitiveness, thereby making greater contributions to the sustainable development of the laboratory sector.”
