The 10,000-square-foot R&D center will employ 30 engineers and data scientists with expertise in sensor technology, machine learning, and sports science. Its primary focus is to enhance Limei’s SmartSense Flooring line, developing new sensors that can track advanced metrics like player acceleration, movement patterns, and muscle fatigue.
The center will also collaborate with nearby tech companies and Stanford University’s Sports Science Department to integrate AI-driven coaching tools into smart flooring. For example, future iterations of SmartSense Flooring could provide real-time feedback to athletes on their jump form or running technique via a connected app.
“Silicon Valley is the global hub for innovation, and our new R&D center puts us at the forefront of smart sports technology,” said Mr. Jason Chen, Limei’s North American CEO. “We’re investing in the future of sports flooring, where data and performance intersect to help athletes and coaches achieve more.”
The first product developed at the Silicon Valley center—a SmartSense Flooring variant with 3D movement tracking— is expected to launch in late 2026.
