DeepCtrls - 深度智控
"Your journey to a greener tomorrow starts here"
Nanjing energy-AI startup founded in 2018 by Tsinghua/Berkeley Lab alumni; its IoT platform targets at least 10% facility energy savings.
DeepCtrls (legally Nanjing DeepCtrls Technology Co., Ltd.) is an energy-AI company headquartered in the Jiangbei New District of Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, China. It was established on August 7, 2018, by a founding team drawn from Tsinghua University and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory with a combined roughly 20 years of experience in energy-efficiency research. The company builds an AI-driven deep energy-optimization platform paired with a low-code IoT smart-control system, which it markets as able to raise a facility's energy-saving rate by at least 10 percent while also providing fault warning and predictive-maintenance capability. Its systems are deployed across advanced manufacturing plants, data centers, rail transportation infrastructure, energy stations, hospitals and commercial buildings, positioning the company at the intersection of industrial control hardware, IoT sensing and AI-based optimization software for energy-intensive facilities. DeepCtrls describes its work as part of a broader physical AI and AI-agent push aimed at digital transformation and energy-efficiency optimization for enterprise clients. As of Crunchbase's public profile (listed under the name Deep Intelligent Control), the company has 51-100 employees and operates in the energy and Internet of Things sector; it has closed multiple funding rounds from Pre-A through Series B, with backers reported to include Tencent, Sequoia China, Source Code Capital and Shenzhen Capital Group. In July 2026, DeepCtrls raised a Series B round from Jinko Energy and SDIC Innovation specifically to expand its energy-infrastructure AI platform, underscoring its positioning as a physical AI startup serving the energy sector rather than a traditional software vendor. The company's public-facing tagline is Your journey to a greener tomorrow starts here, reflecting its focus on decarbonization and efficiency gains for industrial and commercial energy users. DeepCtrls' core technical proposition combines edge-deployed intelligent controllers with a cloud-based optimization and monitoring layer, allowing operators of energy stations and large buildings to continuously tune HVAC, electrical and mechanical systems for lower consumption and earlier fault detection, rather than relying on fixed setpoints or manual inspection schedules.
