on

HANGZHOU, China, Nov. 5, 2024 /CNW/ — Hikvision successfully hosted its 2024 Shaping Intelligence Summit from October 28 to 31, in Hangzhou, China. During the summit, Hikvision and its global partners explored the latest innovations in AIoT (AI-powered Internet of Things) and highlighted the importance of industry collaborations in building a better world through technology.

Unlocking future opportunities with AIoT technologies

Hikvision is at the forefront of AIoT technologies, continuously pushing the limits of hardware performance and image quality. At the summit, Hikvision introduced its advanced AI-ISP technology to significantly reduce image noise and address motion blur in low-light environments. With innovations like ShotN and AWDR technologies, Hikvision is enhancing clarity and detail in imaging. Moreover, it has expanded its range of environment-adaptive products, including solar-powered cameras for off-grid locations and self-cleaning cameras for automatic maintenance.

Beyond visible light technology advancements, Hikvision is pioneering more perception applications using millimeter waves, infrared, X-ray, and sound waves. Based on multi-dimensional perception technologies, Hikvision provides scenario-based solutions to help various industries improve security and operational efficiency, including manufacturing, energy, retail, smart buildings, traffic, and more.

For instance, in the energy sector, Hikvision has developed an intelligent inspection system for a power plant in Shouguang, China, that utilizes 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 kilometers with 34 intersections, travel times on the main road have been cut by 50%.

“Hikvision will continue to go deeply into AIoT technologies, expanding its AIoT product portfolio and pushing the boundaries of innovation with AIoT. We will continually deliver customer-centric solutions and further the application of AIoT across verticals to boost digital transformation,” said Gatling Chen, Solution Director at Hikvision.

Accelerating growth through open collaboration

At the summit, Hikvision and its partners emphasized that open collaboration is crucial to meeting the diverse needs of the AIoT landscape.

Hikvision has crafted open platforms and tools for technology partners, aiming at accelerating digital transformation across industries, such as 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 standardizing device communication. The protocol is designed to be simple and easy to implement, reducing 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.

“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,” said Felix Fu, Global Technology Partnership Manager at Hikvision.

Harnessing AIoT to shape a better world

Guided by the principle “Tech for a Better World,” Hikvision reaffirmed its dedication to leveraging technology for positive impacts. In 2024, Hikvision joined the United Nations Global Compact, aligning its strategies with the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

To prioritize sustainability, Hikvision builds a foundation with its eco-friendly products. For example, its LED displays use up to 90% recycled aluminum in their casings and entirely recycled materials for packaging. Hikvision LED products earned the Green Product Mark certification by TÜV Rheinland, the first in the LED display industry to achieve this distinction.

Hikvision’s products are not only sustainably designed but also tailored for sustainable development. For instance, its vegetation monitoring devices observe crop growth status in real-time. In the fish farming industry, it provides bullet network cameras to help observe the movements of salmon. In solar power stations, by equipping AIoT devices, Hikvision has helped reduce the time required of a standard inspection procedure from 2 days to just 4 hours, empowering low-carbon development.

To enhance ecological protection, Hikvision launched its flagship STAR Program for Social Good, expanding its partnerships with non-profit organizations. One notable example is in Africa, where the urgent need for conservation arises from the rapid decline in wildlife. Since 2023, Hikvision has partnered with Africam, a wildlife protection organization, to safeguard African wildlife and their habitats. This initiative underscores Hikvision’s long-term effort to preserve biodiversity, practice social responsibility and foster a sustainable future.

Looking ahead, 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.

“Empowering Green Value Chains, Contributing to New Productive Forces” Side Event was Successfully Held at COP29

BAKU, Azerbaijan, Nov. 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — The side event titled “Empowering Green Value Chains, Contributing to New Productive Forces” was held in Baku, Azerbaijan, during COP29. The event was jointly organized by the Vanke Foundation, C Team, and Phoenix TV. The aim of the event was to explore how industries in China can empower human capital and implement green value chains to achieve green, efficient, and low-carbon operational models under the country’s dual-carbon strategy. The goal was also to inspire new productive forces and drive the green transformation of economic and social development.

The side event brought together experts, scholars, business representatives, and NGO partners from both China and abroad to discuss the latest global trends and developments in green value chains across key industries. The event was chaired by Yang Peidan, Director of C Team. In her opening remarks, Liu Xi, Senior Manager of Climate Change and Biodiversity at the Vanke Foundation, highlighted the foundation’s vision of a “beautiful and shared future home” and its commitment to promoting environmental protection and social public welfare. She also introduced the “Net Zero Drive” Talents Acceleration Initiative, unveiling the “Together We Act” platform, a significant new step in the foundation’s efforts to align with its strategies.

Liu Yifeng, Deputy Director of C Team, provided an in-depth introduction to the “Together We Act” platform. This platform aims to cultivate and empower talents in the field of China’s dual-carbon strategy, equipping individuals with the knowledge and skills needed to better adapt to and lead the green low-carbon transformation.

C Team is implementing a strategic upgrade to support the development of emerging industry talents while facilitating the transition of workers from traditional industries. This initiative aims to create a green employment market system. According to Liu, workers in traditional industries need to adapt to the “new wave” of industry transformation, while employees in emerging sectors must quickly update their knowledge and skills to keep pace with technological advancements. Through effective training and accelerated efforts, industries, businesses, and regions can better apply technologies and management practices, achieving both technological and energy transformations.

To this end, C Team has partnered with Tencent to develop the “Together We Act” platform. The platform breaks down knowledge into “knowledge cards,” which are categorized and tailored for workers in need of transformation or upskilling. The platform offers smart, content-driven training and quantitative assessments. By using algorithms, the platform provides personalized knowledge to users and includes management features that allow administrators to assign tasks and learning objectives. Knowledge and exercises are managed separately, creating a flexible and intelligent learning system.

Additionally, C Team plans to leverage the data on workforce technology upgrades and training behaviors collected by the platform to analyze the impact of dual-transformation policies and strategies on the workforce in both corporate supply chains and regional areas. This data will help companies and local governments better understand workforce trends and provide support for industry and regional transitions.

Media’s role is also essential in promoting new productive forces. Yang Yuntong, Director of International Cooperation and Project Operations at Phoenix TV, shared that as the largest well-rounded Chinese-language cultural media group overseas, Phoenix TV has long been committed to advancing new productive forces through practical actions. The group has been actively involved in climate-change communication in China and has hosted the annual “Zero-Carbon Mission International Climate Summit” for the past four years in the lead-up to COP, providing a platform for dialogue and discussion among stakeholders and influencing corporate practices and public advocacy.

Xu Shilun, head of the ESG projects at Onewo’s Sustainable Development Center, shared that reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions in property management are key concerns for the company. Onewo is integrating its experience from managing various spaces, such as communities and office buildings, into its “Magic Stone” AI system, focusing on energy management to improve carbon management efficiency in public spaces and encourage owners and tenants to adopt greener lifestyles.

The roundtable discussion focused on two main themes: “Collaborative Innovation of Diverse Forces in Creating New Productive Forces” and “Empowering Green Value Chains to Drive the Green Transformation of Economic and Social Development”. Representatives from leading companies such as JA Solar, Anta Group, Lenovo, Carbonstop, PES, Exiss, ACT, Dasso, Hainan Deeprock, and SQUAKE participated in the discussion. The Secretary of the CPC Municipal Committee of Huzhou City, Chen Hao, also joined via video to introduce the innovative concept of “Bamboo Forest Carbon Sequestration.”

The organizers stated that the side event was not only a deep exploration of green development concepts but also a firm commitment to future sustainable development. C Team plans to further collaborate with nonprofit organizations, environmental foundations, leading enterprises, research institutions, and knowledge service platforms to jointly promote public and inclusive transformation, ensuring that high-quality training content is presented on the platform. Through collective effort and the pooling of knowledge and resources, the event sought to support industry development, regional transformation, and the green transformation of society.
