Recently, LeaKin Technology reviewed its deepened collaboration with Honeywell, a Fortune Global 500 company, which began in 2015. Over the past eight years, LeaKin Technology has consistently provided Honeywell with supporting production services for small-batch and highly complex development boards, leveraging its sophisticated process technology and reliable delivery capabilities in the PCB manufacturing field. Gradually, LeaKin Technology has expanded its offerings to include SMT assembly, chip substitution and adaptation, and even integrated hardware-and-software solutions, thereby becoming one of Honeywell’s key R&D and manufacturing partners in China.
Technology sharing, empowering R&D
In its collaboration with Honeywell, LeaKin Technology not only ensured that its products strictly meet rigorous standards in areas such as manufacturing processes, delivery schedules, and environmental protection, but also actively supported Honeywell’s engineering team—including engineers like Mr. Niu, Mr. Li, Mr. Wang, Mr. Liu, Mr. Zhang, Mr. Shen, as well as dozens of R&D personnel including Nick and Vicky—by sharing technical expertise and providing deep insights into the actual conditions of the production line. From material selection and manufacturability analysis of layouts to the transfer of practical production experience, LeaKin Technology helped design engineers break through the “experience vacuum” caused by never having firsthand knowledge of the production line. As a result, the company significantly shortened the cycle of repeated R&D efforts triggered by designs that were unfavorable for mass production, thereby greatly enhancing the overall efficiency of product development—from design all the way to mass production.
Stay on top of trends and expand services.
Since 2023, as China’s chip industry has rapidly risen and the competitive landscape of the industry has undergone significant changes, Honeywell has placed higher demands on supply-chain localization and chip substitution. LeaKin Technology has responded proactively, gradually expanding its offerings—from early-stage PCB production to comprehensive design support and one-stop SMT services. As early as 2019, the company made a forward-looking investment to establish an embedded R&D team that covers major international chip platforms such as NXP, ST, and MTK, and has also fully embraced domestic chip solutions from Rockchip and Allwinner. LeaKin Technology has launched its own core boards, development boards, and a variety of industry-specific motherboards, which are widely compatible with operating systems including Linux, Debian, Buildroot, Ubuntu, Android, Kylin, and HarmonyOS. This enables LeaKin Technology to provide customers with highly customized, integrated hardware-and-software solutions.
Integrate software and hardware, and deeply cultivate the industry.
LeaKin Technology adopts a one-stop service model—combining hardware, software, and manufacturing—to help clients such as Honeywell quickly enter application fields including edge computing, facial recognition, high-definition commercial displays, robotics, and industrial control. This approach significantly reduces customers’ costs and risks in areas such as development cycles, multi-party coordination, and system integration, enabling efficient product transformation from R&D to mass production.
Mr. Liu from Honeywell’s R&D department commented: “In northern regions, companies like Honeywell truly need partners—such as LeaKin Technology—that are deeply committed to a single industry over the long term and continuously expand their service offerings. LeaKin Technology not only boasts a solid foundation in PCB manufacturing but also provides one-stop technical and manufacturing services for PCBA, effectively enhancing our R&D efficiency and supply-chain resilience.”

Future Outlook
LeaKin Technology will continue to deepen its strategic collaboration with global leading companies such as Honeywell. Relying on its sustained investment in integrated circuit applications, embedded system development, and high-end manufacturing, we will promote the implementation of more localized, highly reliable, and intelligent hardware solutions, further expand our cooperation scope and business scale, and help our customers maintain a competitive edge in the global market.

The process‑edge, alignment holes, and the laser‑etched coding area for in‑vehicle two‑dimensional code traceability on PCB panelization are the fundamental reference points that underpin automated mass production and quality traceability in electronic products. Though they appear to be basic structural elements, they directly determine yield rates, batch-to-batch consistency, and the full‑lifecycle traceability of automotive‑grade components.
LVDS interface: Mature technology, low cost, and strong anti-interference performance, making it well-suited for industrial displays, conventional automotive applications, and medium-to-large‑size LCD panels where cost sensitivity is high, resolution requirements are moderate (e.g., 1080p or lower), and complex control commands are not needed. MIPI DSI interface: Offers extremely high bandwidth, very low power consumption, supports high resolutions (2K/4K) and high refresh rates, and provides robust control‑command interaction capabilities. It is ideal for smartphones, high‑end tablets, AR/VR devices, and next‑generation smart terminals with stringent requirements for thinness and low power consumption.
Future Market Analysis Report on Embedded Development
By 2025, China’s embedded market has surpassed RMB 1 trillion in size and is undergoing a paradigm shift—from being a “functional platform” to an “intelligent hub.” Leveraging more than a decade of deep expertise in embedded hardware platforms, particularly its extensive ecosystem integration around Rockchip’s AIoT chips, Shenzhen LeaKin Technology Co., Ltd. has successfully established a leading position in key smart edge segments such as industrial control, AI robotics, and edge computing. Seizing the “golden era” driven by technology democratization, rigid demand, and ecosystem maturation, the company is poised to capitalize on two historic opportunities: first, the market restructuring brought about by domestic substitution; and second, the emergence of entirely new application scenarios enabled by the deep integration of AI and embedded systems. By executing a core strategy centered on “deepening vertical applications, leveraging dual domestic AI engines, and co-building an ecosystem brand,” LeaKin Technology aims to evolve from a premier embedded hardware provider into a critical solutions and ecosystem enabler for the intelligent edge era. The company seeks to secure a leading position in the mid-to-long-tail market segment, which accounts for 55% of the overall market, thereby achieving leapfrog growth.
