On December 1, the Beijing Municipal Science and Technology Commission and the Management Committee of Zhongguancun Science and Technology Park announced the "List of Key Application Scenario Projects Proposed for Support by 2025." Eyebright Medical Technology (Beijing) Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Eyebright Medical") successfully made the list with its "Smart Medical Multi-Scene Project." This recognition highlights Eyebright Medical's innovative application of 24-hour smart contact lens stores.

By the end of 2024, Eyebright Medical plans to launch the country's first 24-hour smart contact lens store, introducing the Galaxy Universal Humanoid Robot to achieve unmanned operation in smart medical retail. Under the guidance of regulatory authorities at various levels and in accordance with strict medical device operating standards, the 24-hour smart store has been successfully established in cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, and Hangzhou after a year of refined operation. This initiative provides valuable commercial application scenarios for cutting-edge embodied intelligence technology and establishes a replicable and promotable intelligent solution.

Technology Empowers Store Operations, Enhancing Efficiency and Profitability

In a 24-hour smart contact lens store located in Beijing's Wangjing area, a Galaxy Universal Humanoid Robot is operating efficiently. This robot possesses exceptional hand-eye-brain coordination, enabling it to autonomously complete the entire process from order reception to shelf navigation, obstacle avoidance, precise sorting, and vacuum sealing, all without human intervention. Packaged products are then placed in a self-service transfer cabinet, allowing delivery riders to pick them up using a code, achieving full automation of the "order-delivery" process.

The store features a wide variety of products, including Eyebright Medical's own brands such as Lanba and Toppop, as well as various well-known domestic and international brands. The robot, with its vast information storage capability, advanced control algorithms, and operating system, automates the entire process from order reception to restocking decisions, executing tasks with pinpoint accuracy.

Driven by technology, embodied intelligent robots handle core operational aspects of the store, allowing staff to focus only on periodic restocking. Currently, the overall efficiency of the smart store has significantly improved. In a business environment focused on both "cost reduction" and "efficiency enhancement," and with rising labor costs, the long-term cost advantages of robots become evident, providing a model for reducing costs and increasing efficiency in the industry.

Embodied Intelligent Technology Implementation: Pioneering a New Growth Paradigm for the Industry

With the continuous increase in the number of myopic individuals and changing consumer habits, the demand for vision care products is becoming increasingly diverse. Eyebright Medical adheres to a dual-drive strategy of "Healthcare + Consumption," continuously deepening the development of online and offline channels. Currently, the company's O2O business brand, Toppop, has established nearly 300 warehouse stores nationwide and has entered major instant retail platforms such as JD.com, Meituan, and Taobao Flash Sale.

The rollout of 24-hour smart stores equipped with embodied intelligent robots allows for more efficient and precise fulfillment of consumer demands around the clock, significantly enhancing the company's brand influence. Additionally, plans are underway to expand the presence of these smart stores to cities such as Suzhou, Chongqing, Tianjin, Shijiazhuang, and Kunming.

These 24-hour smart stores not only extend service automation, standardization, and scalability to the last mile, providing consumers with a "zero-distance" contact lens purchasing experience, but they also validate the commercial feasibility of embodied intelligent technology in the pharmaceutical and health retail sector by improving store efficiency and operational performance. This initiative opens up entirely new sales growth channels for the industry and demonstrates Eyebright Medical's foresight in market insight.

Responding to National Strategy: Strong Alliances to Enhance Technology in Daily Life

Eyebright Medical actively responds to national strategic policies and embraces new technologies and industries. The company has signed a cooperation agreement with Galaxy Universal, forming a robust alliance that deeply integrates embodied intelligent technology with health retail scenarios, mutually empowering each other to explore new paths for productive development and better serve public life through technology.

As a leading enterprise in ophthalmic medical devices, Eyebright Medical has mastered key core technologies in contact lenses and established a full-chain industrial layout covering research and development, production, and sales, fully connecting the industry chain. The company boasts five core technology platforms, including medical polymer material technology, ophthalmic lens optical design technology, and ultra-precision processing technology, enabling the development of contact lens technologies. Eyebright has received nearly 30 registration certificates for silicone hydrogel and hydrogel contact lenses, with the silicone hydrogel material being self-developed and produced, breaking the long-standing monopoly of international giants and achieving domestication, reaching technical levels close to international advanced standards.

Under its umbrella, the group's two primary contact lens production bases, Tianyan Pharmaceutical and Eyebright Vision Care, have built a flexible production capacity system dynamically matched to market demand, relying on the comprehensive coordination and technical empowerment of Eyebright’s core R&D and production teams. Continuous upgrades to the factory's intelligence and iterative optimization of core production processes further strengthen supply chain stability, ensuring a consistent, stable, and high-quality product supply.

On the consumer front, the group has established hundreds of online and offline stores and has entered major e-commerce platforms such as Douyin, Meituan, and Tmall to maximize consumer reach.

Galaxy Universal, a unicorn in the field of embodied intelligence in China, distinguishes itself from many other companies pursuing “humanoid” robots by focusing on equipping robots with genuinely useful skills. It reverse-engineers technology architecture based on industrial pain points, driving robots to truly become productive forces and creating intelligent value. Its solutions have expanded to various smart retail interaction scenarios, including pharmaceuticals, digital products, and cultural tourism, showcasing strong commercial applicability.

In the future, Eyebright Medical will continue to respond to the "14th Five-Year Plan" recommendations, steadily advancing the nationwide network layout of 24-hour smart contact lens stores in collaboration with Galaxy Universal. This initiative aims to build commercial application scenarios for cutting-edge embodied intelligence technology, promoting sustainable development in the industry and making a better life accessible to all.
