The first AI agent in the urban lighting industry is officially launched! The LED Street Light 2.0 full-scenario solution lands with great impact.

On June 9 at 11:08 AM, the 2026 GILE (Guangzhou International Lighting Exhibition) officially opened. Hangzhou Huapu Yongming Optoelectronics Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Huapu Yongming) held a new product launch event at Booth A02, Hall 3.1, Zone A, and unveiled China's first dedicated AI agent for the urban lighting industry, 'Yongming Brother'. Dai Yukun, Chairman of the Urban Lighting Special Committee of the China Municipal Engineering Association, Gao Fei, Executive Vice President of the China Illumination Society, along with leaders from associations, societies, and management units from Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, Chongqing, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Sichuan, Anhui, Hunan, Hubei, Guangdong, Shandong, Hebei, Henan, Jilin, Jiangxi and other provinces and cities, attended the event to witness the launch. With the debut of the AI agent 'Yongming Brother', Huapu Yongming has successfully completed its three-year, three-step layout, achieving a leap from hardware terminal R&D to AI software empowerment, building a complete closed loop of integrated city lighting hardware and software.

The AI agent 'Yongming Brother' makes its grand debut, reconstructing a new model for street light operations and maintenance

In 2026, Huapu Yongming moved beyond the traditional approach of single-hardware iteration, deepening innovation in digital and intelligent applications, and officially launched the AI agent 'Yongming Brother'. Unlike previous iterations of physical lighting hardware products, Yongming Brother is a brand-new professional digital employee in the field of urban lighting, serving both as a dedicated digital employee for customers and as a benchmark digital employee empowering the entire industry's transformation. Leveraging the HPAI lighting platform architecture, it connects the IoT cloud, 4G-DTU, WEB management portal, and mobile APP, enabling unified scheduling,全域 perception, intelligent decision-making, and efficient full-process operations and maintenance for the entire series of LED Street Light 2.0 hardware.

Relying on the collaborative operation model of "Digital Employee + Hardware Terminal", the full value of system O&M is released: street light fault detection rate increased by 80%, on-site inspection costs reduced by 60%, overall O&M efficiency improved by 35%, and total project lifecycle O&M investment decreased by 30%. Relying on Huapu Yongming's "Three-in-One" LED Street light 2.0 hardware system, each street light can real-time transmit over 30 operational data items, covering core information such as Luminaire operating conditions, grid status, and energy storage battery health, laying a solid data foundation for resilient lighting.

Huapu Yongming Chairman Chen Kai delivered a speech

For a long time, hidden dangers such as power line losses, leakage, and grid anomalies in street lights lacked efficient and reliable monitoring means. Relying solely on manual inspections made real-time prevention and control difficult, becoming a major shortcoming in the safe operation of urban lighting. However, Yongming Ge can analyze massive amounts of operational data non-stop 7×24 hours, conducting multi-dimensional monitoring of street light lines, grid quality, photovoltaic modules, and energy storage batteries. It precisely identifies risks such as "running, overflowing, dripping, and leaking" and line faults, providing early warnings. It autonomously completes a series of tasks including fault diagnosis, repair dispatch, and strategy optimization, fundamentally solving the monitoring and O&M challenges of resilient lighting and truly achieving fully digital control of street light grid safety. Meanwhile, Yongming Ge can proactively identify equipment abnormalities, provide early risk warnings, automatically generate O&M work orders, and achieve full-process refined management combined with digital dashboards, completely changing the outdated mode where traditional lighting equipment passively executes instructions and human operators lead O&M.

Looking back at the brand's three-year innovation journey, in 2024 Huapu Yongming achieved breakthroughs in single products with emergency energy storage street lights; in 2025 it created the new "Three-in-One" LED Street light 2.0 hardware system, completing the hardware layout for all scenarios; in 2026 it welcomed the official onboarding of AI Digital Employees, successfully implementing the three-step plan of product innovation, hardware construction, and AI empowerment. Industry leaders attending the meeting gave high praise to the innovative model of "Hardware Terminal + AI Digital Employee", believing that this solution precisely fits the development trends of resilient city construction and municipal energy-saving renovation.

Dai Yukun, Council Member of the Urban Lighting Special Committee of China Municipal Engineering Association, delivered a speech

President Yu Kun of the Council stated in his speech that the release of the City Lighting AI Agent is a breakthrough innovation tailored to municipal lighting scenarios and aligned with urban governance development needs. It represents a significant achievement in the digital and intelligent transformation of the municipal lighting industry, breaking through traditional bottlenecks such as extensive management, manual operations, and fixed control in urban lighting.

Hua Pu Yongming Vice President Peng Haiping hosted the press conference.

Li Zhiming, General Manager of the Product R&D Center at Hua Pu Yongming, demonstrated the capabilities of the Yongming Brother.

Closely aligned with the dual carbon goals and urban construction development direction, accelerating the large-scale implementation of national projects.

Currently, the demand for domestic new infrastructure construction, resilient city development, renovation of old street lights, and upgrading of county and rural lighting continues to grow. The complete solution combining LED Street light 2.0 hardware with the AI Agent 'Yongming Ge' deeply aligns with the national dual carbon development goals and the engineering requirements of City Lifeline projects, directly addressing industry pain points such as high urban lighting operation and maintenance costs, low fault troubleshooting efficiency, and weak emergency response capabilities. To date, Hua Pu Yongming's LED Street light 2.0 series products have been implemented as benchmark demonstration projects in many places across the country, showing outstanding market application results.

In the future, Huapu Yongming will take this GILE (Guangzhou International Lighting Exhibition) as an opportunity to launch "Brother Yongming" nationwide for the first time, continuously iterate AI algorithms and hardware products, deepen its focus on the urban lighting industry, leverage R&D advantages, and use technology to support the development of the urban lighting industry and high-quality construction of resilient cities.
