Didano Technology Co., Ltd., located in southwest China's Sichuan Province, specializes in robotics for children's health. Their customers were mainly kindergartens and preschool education institutions.
But the outbreak brought the company some new ideas. The company has advanced technologies and turned their robotics products into infrared temperature measuring robots.
"The new robots, which can check people's temperature rapidly and accurately, can be used in hospitals, companies, schools, factories and other public venues with huge people flows," said Xu Bo, CEO of the company, adding they have sold 71 such robots in three days to local hospitals and companies, and they have started to presell and produce 300 such robots.
Sun Jian, general manager of Frimec (Jiangsu) Environmental Technology Co., is very optimistic. His company focuses on air-cleaning facilities.
"After the epidemic, the demand for air purification in China will soar. The impact of the epidemic won't last long, and the demand for such products will rise sharply in the second quarter. We are making preparations for that," Sun added.
GOVERNMENT SUPPORT
While enterprises are racking their brains to strengthen their immunity against the outbreak, governments at all levels across China are also making efforts to give a helping hand.
Molarray Biotechnology Co., a high-tech company located in Suzhou Industrial Park, Jiangsu, received timely help, a 5-million-yuan loan offered by a local bank, after the company reported financial problems as it was in full capacity to provide products in urgent need to curb the contagion. It only took about five days from the application to get the loan.
