Hikvision has introduced AIoT-powered manufacturing solutions, enabling manufacturers to optimize productivity and operational efficiency.

When considering industrial Internet-of-Things and Industry 4.0 concerns, we often focus on automated equipment investments and the implementation of software systems like MES and ERP. However, smart manufacturing entails more than that.

Today's manufacturers encounter three major challenges:

Efficient Personnel Management: The production process heavily relies on skilled labor, necessitating refined management for improved output.

Enhanced Process Visibility: Timely alerts and improved incident handling protocols are needed for automation equipment and software systems to ensure operational stability and provide forward-looking insights.

Lean Management for Boosted Productivity: In complex manufacturing plants, lean management practices encompassing factors such as office park vehicle traffic, dock management, and information sharing are essential for enhancing productivity.

Hikvision's manufacturing solution leverages AIoT technology to shift offline data online, enabling real-time monitoring and utilization. AI and intuitive visualization allow managers to oversee site, production, and operational processes, responding promptly to issues, thereby enhancing efficiency and productivity.

Efficient Personnel Management:

Manufacturing parks require robust personnel management due to large teams accessing specific areas throughout the day, leading to complex logistics, access management, security, and health and safety requirements.

Hikvision's Quick Access Solution, enabled by MinMoe face-recognition terminals, offers touch-free access to manufacturing sites, including main entrances, production areas, offices, and more. The technology ensures "non-stop" access even during peak times or adverse weather conditions. Precise access management safeguards plant safety, allowing only authorized staff in specific areas, and provides online management for visitors, eliminating security blind spots.

Moreover, the Quick Access Solution records physical footprints as digital records for accurate time and attendance management. Employees can be identified using various verification methods, such as face recognition, fingerprint readers, cards, or PIN codes, generating automatic attendance reports and work records. This optimizes HR support, time and attendance management, and accuracy for payroll, overtime, and compensation.

Maximizing Visibility for Production and Operations:

Large-scale production environments often face information silos, making real-time incident detection and response, as well as efficiency improvements, challenging. Hikvision's AR Live Interaction Solution addresses these challenges by providing full visibility of large-scale production processes.

Using AR cameras and location capabilities, the solution creates a live map of the site, offering managers a bird's-eye view. Integration with other industry control systems allows for presenting production information and site images on a four-screen display.

Key features include remote inspections, alarm handling, automated information collection and analyses, predictive maintenance, and performance evaluations. The system detects equipment defects and human errors, minimizing downtime, mitigating safety risks, and offering insights for informed decision-making. Visualized displays in the workshop enhance safety reminders, team communications, and work supervision for improved efficiency.

Optimizing Facilities and Traffic Management:

Efficient and safe vehicle flow management is paramount for all manufacturing parks, necessitating real-time visibility of driving and parking, monitoring of loading and unloading, scheduling and dispatching, and overall site security.

Hikvision's Park Traffic Management Solution standardizes on-site vehicle flow, empowering park managers to embrace innovation and boost productivity. AIoT technologies, including cameras with tailored algorithms, auto-triggered radar, management software, and LED displays, enable operators to create manageable park environments and optimize vehicle and resource allocations for maximum efficiency.

Speed measurement cameras and LED screens regulate driving practices, reducing accidents caused by speeding and improper driving behavior. Illegal parking cameras detect vehicles in prohibited areas to prevent accidents.

Video images and alarms are received and displayed at a command center managed via HikCentral Professional software, enabling operators to take prompt action during emergencies. A safer and organized park environment aids drivers in locating the right loading docks and warehouses, while managers stay updated on vehicle statuses, traffic control, resource allocation, and emergency response, leading to significantly improved productivity and operational efficiency.
