24/7 intelligent inspection assistant spares security
Case administrators from sweltering working conditions
Burn-in rooms an indispensable facility in many production bases are used for high temperature testing of products to obtain
aging parameters and indicators. The equipment in burn-in chambers is prone to abnormalities and potentially fire incidents
due to prolonged exposure to high temperatures.Mr. Jin a safety administrator in an electronic equipment plant in Zhejiang has to visit burn-in rooms every 3-4 hours on
average to check for smoke power failure or excessive temperature. The temperature there is frequently higher than 50
degrees Celsius with some locations reaching 70 degrees Celsius and above. In a large chamber with many products you
might need to stay for more than ten minutes. And after inspecting dozens of chambers you will often sweat heavily. "The
difficulty not only lies in the ‘baking’ experience. After we get off work at night the burn-in rooms remain at high tempera-
tures which is likely to pose a threat." Mr. Jin said.Hikvision’s thermal imaging and temperature measuring system is therefore introduced to serve as an intelligent inspection
"assistant" to Jin. In the production base where he works 29 burn-in chambers are now supported by the environmental
temperature measuring function. With an alert threshold set in advance the system is "on duty" 24 hours a day to monitor the
environment and send an early warning in the event of any deviation. Today Jin is allowed to check the burn-in rooms remotely
from the fire control center thus spending more time inspecting other hazards.The early warning also grants sufficient time for responsible staff to respond – an upgrade from passive defense to active
warning. When the system detects an abnormal temperature it promptly notifies the person in charge of the production line
via the work ticket system. At the same time a pop-up message is sent to the fire control center where the security staff may
remotely dispatch personnel and coordinate the response in real time. Finally the event will be reported to the platform for
archiving.Since there are many products to be tested our burn-in
rooms are basically open all year round. The 24/7 inspec-
tion equipment is a great boost for the work efficiency and
performance of our security staff.--The person in charge of the electronic equipment factory explained

tum into the sustained development of the industry. Taking the welding workshop as an example HikRobot has connected the system software data to the upstream and
downstream operational information flow. Any demand for materials from the storage area is directly sent to the driver of a
picking forklift. After the driver completes picking as instructed by the system the AMR intelligently determines the optimal
delivery route and delivers the picked parts to the storage area where its robot arm will perform accurate feeding. Finally empty
containers are returned to the connection point.This procedure not only greatly improves the efficiency of material delivery but also avoids errors and omissions and makes
delivery more accurate. With the use of HikRobot’s AMR tractors are no longer needed in welding plants which reduces the risk
of safety accidents and lights may also be turned off under precise control leading to a significant drop in energy consumption.In the automotive industry HikRobot has helped

Case Intelligent management of pipe networks ensures healthy urban operation
The daily life of residents is sustained by urban pipe networks such as gas water bridges heat and electricity. These
crisscrossed networks are often described as "a city’s lifelines". According to statistics the total length of lifelines in Chinese
cities is about 3.1 million kilometers which also keeps growing every year. How to monitor them in real time and detect faults
in a timely manner has become a great challenge to their healthy operation.Hikvision’s "Integrated Application Platform for Urban Lifeline Industries" is designed to summarize data on urban infrastruc-
ture in real time and enable a closed-loop procedure of "sensing-monitoring-warning-handling-supervision". By integrating all
connected sensors and images into an operation map of urban pipe networks the platform may build a panoramic view of city
operations making urban management more intuitive and structured.Ensuring safe gas use

Case Smart agricultural applications boost smart planting in Wuhan
Jiangxia District located in the south of Wuhan is surrounded by mountains and rivers and has an abundance of vegetation
which makes it a key agricultural area in the city. Hikvision has developed number of smart agricultural applications for Jiangxia
to comprehensively improve the regulatory efficiency services and productivity of the local agricultural industry allowing
agriculture which has always been "depending on the growing environment" to make agile changes in response to natural
conditions.IoT sensing devices environmental index sensors and smart cameras are placed in the fields to monitor plant growth and
environmental changes in real time 24 hours a day. Meanwhile a pest monitoring and reporting system is equipped to transmit
data back to the system. This allows plant protection officers and farmers to remotely check pests and crop growth in real time
without going to the field and take timely measures to reduce insect pests improve crop quality and maintain food output.Furthermore greenhouse planting may also be managed remotely with a greenhouse climate warning mechanism and an
automatic control system applied to make sure that the plants are in an appropriate growing environment. With the support of
AIoT farmers may view and control the underwater "climate" for aquatic products. And for livestock and poultry farming the
management efficiency of farms is boosted by intelligent environmental control inspection and early warning and an intelli-
gent energy management system.Hikvision’s technology has allowed us to more strictly
control the quality of the agricultural products we grow.With labor better allocated we farmers have greatly cut
production costs and received higher returns.--Mr. Li a farmer in Jiangxia District

Case Breeding "digital hairy crabs" in Taihu Lake
River crab farming is a pillar of the fishery in Taihu Lake as well as a major source of income for many farmers. The farmers used
to raise crabs based on experience and deal with sudden environmental changes in passive ways.Suzhou Laomao Agricultural Technology Co. Ltd. has introduced the digital fishery management platform jointly launched by
Hikvision and Suzhou Jiean Information Technology Co. Ltd. Powered by technologies including AIoT and big data the platform
aims to support the healthy growth of hairy crabs. Using the platform crab farmers can not only check basic information such
as the breeding area and crab categories but also view a wide range of real-time information such as the pass rate and quality
of water as well as records and data on the environment diseases etc.With the help of technology crab farmers are better positioned to cope with extreme weather such as high temperatures. And
as their breeding experience grows the quality and size of Taihu hairy crabs have improved compared with prior years earning
more trust from consumers.HIKVISION

Hikvision scientific and technological innovation is
leveraged to facilitate precise and scientific pollution
control with the goal of preserving our blue sky clean
water and pure land.The water quality of a branch channel of the Yellow River Basin in North China used to be rated as below Class V due to the
eutrophication caused by local discharge of aquaculture sewage. The conventional manual sampling procedure was subject to
many environmental restrictions which usually took more than 4 hours to generate monitoring results. Without real-time
access to water quality data it was difficult to trace the discharge sources. Moreover chemical reagents are commonly used
in traditional sampling methods which may cause secondary contamination of the atmosphere water and soil.In 2022 16 Hikvision hyperspectral water quality monitors were installed along the river. They are able to capture key water
quality parameters such as chlorophyll pH value total nitrogen total phosphorus ammonia nitrogen and suspended matters
in 20 seconds independent of environmental factors such as temperature humidity and lighting. Then water quality
monitoring data from different spots is aggregated via the software platform to help local workers access water quality
changes in real time and detect water pollution in time. This provides technical aid in tracking pollution sources and identify-
ing unlawful sewage discharge - a huge help in pollution traceability and other river remediation activities.HIKVISION

Market changes alongside requirements for customization fast delivery high quality and low cost have brought huge
challenges to Hikvision’s supply chain. In response the Company has formed a project team composed of specialists in R&D
business planning manufacturing logistics and procurement to optimize value flow and end-to-end procedures and redesign
the delivery plan to meet the requirements of lean production in the supply chain.Hikvision enhanced inventory management of multi-variety and small-batch items over the reporting period. Through the
optimization of supply chain procedures the average delivery cycle was reduced by 50% and the delivery cycle of 50% of the
orders was shortened to 3 days. While the demand for goods rose by more than 30% the inventory area for multi-variety and
small-batch products had zero growth with the merchandise inventory dropping by 30% year-on-year. All of these efforts
helped to ensure the continuity of our supply chain.HIKVISION
