Beijing University of Chemical Technology and Dynaflow Sign Strategic Cooperation Agreement on "AI + Lights-out Laboratories"

On the morning of October 9th, a signing ceremony for a strategic cooperation agreement and a scientific research project development agreement between Beijing University of Chemical Technology (BUCT) and Beijing Dynaflow Lab Solution Co., Ltd. was held in the first meeting room of the Yifu Conference Center at BUCT. 

Attendees from BUCT included Vice President Wang Feng; Li Jianhua, Director of the Domestic Cooperation and Exchange Office; Cheng Daojian, Professor and Dean of the School of Chemical Engineering; Wu Hao, Deputy Director of the Domestic Cooperation and Exchange Office; and numerous professors and associate professors from the School of Chemical Engineering, the School of Information Science and Technology, the School of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, and the School of Chemical Engineering. Attending the signing ceremony from Dynaflow were founder and chairman Chi Haipeng, and vice presidents Zhang Jingjun, Gong Changhua, and Dong Yuchong. The meeting was chaired by Liu Dahuan, Deputy Dean of the School of Chemical Engineering at BUCT.

At the meeting, BUCT Vice President Wang Feng extended a warm welcome to the Dynaflow delegation. He introduced BUCT's strengths in talent cultivation, faculty, and discipline construction, noting the university's achievements in scientific and technological innovation and university-enterprise cooperation in recent years. He spoke highly of the significance of this collaboration. Vice President Wang stated that the collaboration between BUCT and Dynaflow to explore the application of AI + Lights-out Laboratories in catalyst preparation and performance evaluation will accelerate the process of bringing new materials from the laboratory to the market. Vice President Wang expressed three hopes for the partnership: deepening technical cooperation; promoting talent cultivation; and driving the transformation of research achievements. 
 

Following this, Cheng Daojian, Dean of the School of Chemical Engineering at BUCT, emphasized the importance of this collaboration, highlighting the cutting edge of intelligent chemical engineering, its limitless possibilities across multiple dimensions, the integration of laboratory systems, and in-depth industry-academia-research cooperation. He stressed the importance of in-depth industry-academia-research cooperation, establishing a joint research team, conducting research and discussions on core issues related to intelligent chemical engineering, and sharing results. The university will provide professional training for the company, and the company will provide internships and practical training bases for students, jointly cultivating talents with practical abilities and innovative spirit. A technology transfer mechanism will be established to promote the commercialization of research results. 
 

Dynaflow Chairman Chi Haipeng introduced the company's achievements in technological innovation, product development, and market expansion. Dynaflow has always been committed to transforming advanced technological achievements into actual productivity, focusing on creating intelligent, automated, and unmanned experimental environments. Its 'lights-out laboratories' have been widely recognized in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries and are entering a period of rapid development. This collaboration with BUCT will bring new opportunities for the company's development. 
 

Amidst warm applause, both parties held a signing ceremony for the strategic cooperation agreement and the unmanned laboratory system integration device development agreement. This strategic cooperation will promote comprehensive and multi-level cooperation between the two parties in scientific research and development, project cooperation, achievement transformation, and talent cultivation. The collaboration will jointly develop an unmanned laboratory system integration device project based on AI + automated operation for the preparation of platinum-carbon catalysts and the detection of electrochemical performance indicators, providing strong support for technological innovation and industrial upgrading for both parties.

The achievement of this strategic cooperation marks a solid step forward in the university-enterprise cooperation between BUCT and Dynaflow. Both parties will work together to explore new models and paths for in-depth industry-academia-research cooperation.
