Since the beginning of 2022, the resumption of large-scale exhibition activities in various countries has led to the recovery of trade exchanges on a global scale. In the recent advanced manufacturing activities such as industrial automation and robotics, Chinese enterprises have also frequently appeared and exhibited innovative scientific and technological products, actively promoting the intelligent upgrading of the global manufacturing industry.
On April 6-8, the 2022 Korea Smart Factory & Automation World Exhibition was held at the Coex International Convention and Exhibition Center in Seoul, South Korea. As a global provider of machine vision and mobile robot products and solutions, Hikvision Robot was invited to participate in the exhibition. As soon as the high-resolution, high-frame rate and highly intelligent industrial cameras were unveiled, they attracted the attention of professional engineers from semiconductor, electronics, automotive and other industries.
At the same time, the Paris Transport Logistics Exhibition SITL is also in full swing, for the French market, Hikvision Robot focused on the exhibition of fork picking robots, latent robots and machine vision products for logistics code reading.
At the Japan International Robot Show iREX, which concluded in March, Hikvision Robot brought a connection display scheme between a cargo-to-human robot (CTU) and a latent robot, accurately "goods to people" to "box to people", further improving logistics efficiency and accuracy.
Regional technical experts conduct in-depth research on local market needs and work with local partners to provide innovative products and solutions in a targeted manner. According to the data released by Hikvision Robot Machine Vision New Technology and New Product Launch Conference in 2022, its machine vision business has served more than 7,000 customers worldwide; according to the data released by Hikvision Robot Intelligent Manufacturing Conference in September 2021, its mobile robot business has served more than 1,500 customers worldwide and delivered more than 30,000 robots.
Manufacturing is the real economy, and users attach great importance to the feasibility of landing new technologies, as well as the practical value of cost reduction and efficiency improvement brought about by large-scale commercialization.
In 2021, Hikvision Robot will help a well-known Japanese apparel group cope with massive orders and meet the pain points of the season change. In the 11,000㎡ intelligent warehouse, 181 intelligent mobile robots were jointly deployed. Double-row shelves are densely stored, and the storage capacity is expanded by an additional 10%. The "goods to people" operation mode saves 40% of the total working hours of invalid walking, and employees only need to operate at the workstation to complete the picking and listing of goods, which greatly improves work efficiency. The project has achieved efficient and accurate management and allocation of various types of items.
In Europe, as early as 2018, Hikvision Robotics helped Superdry land a "goods-to-people" pilot project in the Burton-upon-Trent warehouse, covering a warehouse area of about 8,000 square feet, and the processing speed and accuracy of the goods far exceeded expectations. With the success of the pilot project, in the first half of 2020, the outlet once again introduced 40 mobile robots to handle all women's clothing picking and returns, from retail and e-commerce to wholesale. It is reported that Superdry plans to continue to expand its own robot "fleet", will launch 20 mobile robots to the Belgian warehouse, and promote the synchronous automation and intelligent transformation of warehouses around the world.
Behind the frequent appearance of Hikvision Robot on the international stage is the high recognition of the quality of its products by users from all over the world. It is reported that Hikvision Robot has obtained the first domestic MOBILE ROBOT Full Directive CE certificate and Industry 4.0 certificate as early as 2018. Obtaining the CE certification of the whole directive and the industry 4.0 certification marks that the products of Hikvision Robot have reached the EU and international standards in terms of production control, quality assurance and risk level, meeting the needs of enterprises or factories in the stage of Industry 4.0, and fully proving the superior performance and stability and reliability of Hikvision robot products.
Along with the development of manufacturing, the increase in the demand for flexibility, the shortening and acceleration of product cycles, the rising labor costs, and the rising demand for the trend of human safety in the use environment all require that manufacturing and logistics scenarios must have rapid adaptability and greater efficiency. Flexible smart devices such as machine vision and mobile robots will be the general direction of future industrial upgrading.
According to statistics, from 2018 to 2020, the number and amount of global industrial mobile robot sales will increase year by year, and by 2020, the shipment and sales of industrial mobile robots will increase by 42% and 25% year-on-year, respectively. From 2010 to 2020, the global machine vision market is showing an increasing trend. In 2020, the global machine vision market reached $10.7 billion, with a compound growth rate of 14.48% in the past five years.
The overseas development of China's intelligent equipment will not only help to promote the pace of intelligent upgrading of the global manufacturing industry, but also for enterprises themselves to continuously polish and optimize their products and services in the open market competition. Huo Junjie, marketing director of Hikvision robot products, said that in-depth research on the actual needs of users in various countries can develop innovative products that are welcomed by the local market. Every year, Hikvision Robot will put forward the company's product innovation goals for the next year and the direction of upgrading the next generation of products according to the actual application of users in that year.
