Hikvision has announced it has finished hosting its ‘Shaping Intelligence Summit 2024’ that took place on 28-31 October in Hangzhou, China.
During the summit, Hikvision and its global partners explored the latest innovations in AI-powered Internet of Things (AIoT) and highlighted the importance of industry collaborations in building a better world through technology.
Future opportunities with AIoT
At the summit, Hikvision introduced its advanced AI-ISP technology to significantly reduce image noise and address motion blur in low-light environments.
With Hikvisions other innovations like ShotN and AWDR technologies, Hikvision is enhancing clarity and detail in imaging.
The company has expanded its range of environment-adaptive products, including:
- Solar-powered cameras for off-grid locations
- Self-cleaning cameras for automatic maintenance
Beyond visible light technology advancements, Hikvision is pioneering more perception applications using millimetre waves, infrared, X-ray and sound waves.
Scenario-based Solutions
Hikvision provides scenario-based solutions to help various industries improve security and operational efficiency.
This includes:
- Manufacturing
- Energy
- Retail
- Smart buildings
- Traffic
For instance, in the energy sector, Hikvision has developed an inspection system for a power plant in Shouguang, China, that utilises video and lasers to detect anomalies in coal transport belts, significantly improving safety and efficiency.
In the traffic sector, Hikvision’s green wave solution has greatly reduced congestion and improved road efficiency on a main road in Zhoushan, China.
Over a stretch of 21 kilometres with 34 intersections, travel times on the main road have been cut by 50%.
“Pushing the boundaries of innovation with AIoT”
Gatling Chen, Solution Director, Hikvision commented: “Hikvision will continue to go deeply into AIoT technologies, expanding its AIoT product portfolio and pushing the boundaries of innovation with AIoT.”
Chen added: “We will continually deliver customer-centric solutions and further the application of AIoT across verticals to boost digital transformation.”
Accelerating growth through open collaboration
At the summit, Hikvision and its partners emphasised that open collaboration is crucial to meeting the diverse needs of the AIoT landscape.
Hikvision has created open platforms and tools for technology partners, aiming to accelerate digital transformation across industries.
Open platforms include the Hikvision Embedded Open Platform (HEOP) for seamless third-party application integration.
Hikvision also further introduced its OTAP protocol, which is vital in AIoT by standardising device communication.
The protocol is designed to be simple and easy to use, leading to the reduction in development time and costs.
During the summit, Hikvision partners and clients actively engaged in sharing their innovative solutions and success stories, offering insightful presentations and discussions that illustrate their collaborative efforts with Hikvision.
These exchanges provided a platform for attendees to explore cutting-edge technologies, applications and best practices for enhancing security, efficiency and sustainability in the daily operations across their specific industries.
“Stronger and more flexible solutions”
Felix Fu, Global Technology Partnership Manager, Hikvision stated: “We believe that by enabling innovation through openness, we will provide stronger and more flexible solutions to meet each market challenge and that ultimately this will convert into more business for our channel partners and installers.”
Harnessing AIoT to shape a better world
In 2024, Hikvision joined the United Nations Global Compact, aligning its strategies with the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
To prioritise sustainability, Hikvision has prioritised building a foundation of eco-friendly products.
One example of Hikvision implementing its eco-friendly products is through its LED displays that use up to 90% recycled aluminium in its casings and entirely recycled materials for packaging.
Hikvision LED products was awarded the Green Product Mark certification by TÃœV Rheinland, the first in the LED display industry to achieve this distinction.
Tailored products
Hikvision’s products are designed sustainably are tailored for each sustainable development.
An example of this is Hikvision’s vegetation monitoring devices that are tailored to observe crop growth status in real-time.
In the fish farming industry, the company provides bullet network cameras to help observe the movements of salmon.
By using AIoT devices in in solar power stations, Hikvision has helped reduce the time required of a standard inspection procedure from two days to four hours, empowering low-carbon development.
Ecological protection – Africam
To enhance ecological protection, Hikvision launched its flagship STAR Program for Social Good, and to expand its partnerships with non-profit organisations.
An example of this is in Africa, where the urgent need for conservation arises from the rapid decline in wildlife.
In 2023, Hikvision announced its partnership with Africam, a wildlife protection organisation that safeguards African wildlife and its habitats.
Hikvision’s notes that this strengthens its long-term dedication to preserve biodiversity, practice social responsibility and foster a sustainable future.
In the future, Hikvision will continue collaborating with its partners worldwide to explore new possibilities in AIoT capabilities, bringing about more sustainable changes and shape a better world.
