Industry Recognition: Huaweike Wins "Health & Comfort System Innovation Award" at Automotive Seat Xiyi Awards

Shanghai, China – September 3–4, 2026 – At the 8th Automotive Seat Summit & Expo organized by Civi in Shanghai, alongside the presentation of the 2nd "Xiyi Awards", Huaweike (HIT) was honored with the prestigious "Health & Comfort System Innovation Award" for its breakthrough achievements in smart seating and cabin perception. This accolade marks another authoritative endorsement of Huaweike's technical leadership in the automotive industry.

Under the theme "Crafting Comfort, Innovating the Future," the summit gathered global leaders across the automotive seat supply chain to explore cutting-edge pathways from material innovation to human-machine interaction (HMI). The Xiyi Awards aim to recognize outstanding enterprises and emerging forces driving high-quality development in the seat industry. Winning this award underscores Huaweike's R&D capabilities and validates its pioneering practices in integrating "AI Tactile Sensing + Smart Vehicles."

Scaling AI Tactile Technology: The Only Tier-1 E-Skin Supplier in Automotive

As a pioneer in scaling AI tactile technology, Huaweike deeply integrates high-sensitivity, highly adaptable flexible tactile sensors into intelligent seating solutions. These solutions redefine the smart cabin experience-ranging from real-time biometric monitoring and adaptive comfort adjustment to multimodal intelligent interaction.

• 2025 Milestone: Delivered over 1 million units of automotive-grade flexible electronic skin (e-skin) in mass production-an industry first.

• 2026 Capacity Expansion: With the launch of Phase 1 of the Huaweike Flexible Smart Sensor Production Base in May 2026, the company entered a new phase of large-scale capacity targeting tens of millions of units.

Today, Huaweike stands as the only Tier-1 supplier of electronic skin in the smart vehicle sector.

Overcoming Sensing Limits: Empowering Smart Seating & Safe Interaction

During the "Smart Comfort & Safe Interaction" forum, Mr. Hao Wang, Director of the Flexible Sensing Business Unit at Huaweike, delivered a keynote presentation titled "Flexible Sensing Empowering New Experiences in Seat Comfort and Safe Interaction."

Mr. Wang detailed how flexible tactile sensing overcomes the limitations of traditional pressure sensors, achieving an optimal balance among automotive-grade reliability, high sensitivity, and cost efficiency. He also showcased several of Huaweike's successful mass-production commercial cases.

"The convergence of AI tactile sensing and smart vehicles is shifting from an 'option' to an 'absolute necessity,'" said Mr. Wang. "Flexible electronic skin acts as the 'skin and nerves' for AI. Embedded into diverse surfaces, it captures physical-world data in real time."

From Robotic Fingertips to Smart Cabins: Expanding AI Tactile Boundaries

From the "fingertip touch" of robotic dexterous hands to "cabin perception" in intelligent seats, Huaweike is extending its core AI tactile capabilities across a broader spectrum of real-world applications.

Moving forward, Huaweike will continue to hone its core technologies, broaden application boundaries in smart vehicles, and drive intelligent and comfortable automotive upgrades. Together with supply chain partners, Huaweike is committed to building an innovative smart vehicle ecosystem and advancing the automotive cabin industry toward high-quality development.
