On April 13, the 2022 Megvii Enterprise Business Partner Conference with the theme of "Horizons Without Boundaries and Spatial Symbiosis" was held online. At the meeting, Megvii explained the future development direction of enterprise business to the industry, released the spatial digital product strategy and digital perception series of new products for enterprise business, and launched the "AIoT Ecosystem Partner Program", which is committed to working with more partners to jointly develop the new blue ocean of AIoT.
Using algorithms to define hardware, Megvii Space digital product strategy release
Whether it is an enterprise or an organization, the realization of digitalization in different spaces is faced with a variety of application scenarios, highly fragmented requirements and other pain points, in order to adapt to various AI demand scenarios, to meet the vigorous perception application ecology, enterprises / organizations urgently need to build a complete set of "standard hardware + massive algorithms" digital perception system.
As a pragmatic and leader in the artificial intelligence industry, Megvii officially released a spatial digital product strategy based on "algorithm definition hardware" at this conference, activating the huge potential of digital systems through hardware platforming, system flexibility and service scale, in order to provide all-round perception capabilities for the digitalization of various industries.
Yang Mu, co-founder of Megvii and head of R&D of the enterprise business division, pointed out in the strategic release link that the product system design idea of taking flexible deployment algorithms as the core, IoT hardware as the product carrier, and platforms and toolchains as the infrastructure to achieve rapid satisfaction of requirements is called "algorithm definition hardware". Algorithm definition hardware will be a product solution that satisfies the industry's rich scenarios. In the future, Megvii will focus on the three major areas of enterprise office management digitalization, enterprise security management digitalization and enterprise safety production digitalization, fully stimulate industry creativity, and let the algorithm definition hardware become a new momentum to release the efficiency upgrade of enterprises or organizations and inherit innovation.

Construct a set of digital perception capabilities Three types of "algorithm-defined hardware" new products were unveiled
At the meeting, as a specific landing to focus on spatial digitalization and promote digital perception in the industry, Megvii released three types of new products of "algorithm-defined hardware":
AI compute product line
"Megvii Magic Square" - a very cost-effective central computing server series, which can cover three different performance requirements: the Basic series, which meets the basic performance requirements and makes AI go inclusive; the Standard series, designed based on CUDA architecture to meet the standardized central computing needs; and the Premium series, which uses a more extreme computing core, is the best choice for high-performance computing needs. Megvii Magic Square supports algorithm warehouse architecture design, algorithm and hardware decoupling, combined with MegGenine algorithm framework, the algorithm can be dynamically loaded into the hardware through the AIoT platform, fully releasing the chip computing power. Taking the structured algorithm as an example, similar products on the market can only support about 60 video stream parsing, while the number of resolution channels of Megvii Magic Can be as high as 140, which is very cost-effective.
Megvii Magic Square Center Computing Server Series
"Megvii Cube" B4H - edge computing box industry version series, through a rich algorithm package, can provide partners with different industry versions of bright cooking stove, production safety supervision, fire safety supervision, smart construction site, smart community, and comprehensively serve various physical space scenarios.

IPC product line
"Megvii Acuity" - C4H-240 intelligent network camera series, Megvii's first end-to-end, fully self-developed hardware AI IPC, using algorithms to define the hardware concept, with strong perception, strong computing, strong interaction three modules, can be high quality imaging, larger scene processing width, backlight performance excellent, can meet the night scene infrared imaging, high-density scene recognition. C4H-240 supports multi-signal I/O, not only AI-IPC, but also interactive attendance welcome all-in-one machine, interactive features are extremely rich, more suitable for various scenarios and applications.
"Megvii Sensitive View" - C4H-240 intelligent network camera series
Relying on the comprehensively upgraded Megvii Pangu AIoT platform capability, the above new product series can be connected to all the basic products of the digital space with megvii Brain++ as the core algorithm production system, so that all algorithm carriers at the edge of the cloud have a more adequate algorithm supply. Through hardware, platforms and applications, Megvii's complete digital perception system will provide the most solid AI product support for various industries.
One of the development directions of "algorithm-defined hardware" is to form a set of perception capabilities for the three elements of space (people, things, and things). Megvii provides sufficient and high-quality algorithms on the supply side; on the product side, it launches cost-effective and standardized hardware; on the interface side, it has sufficient openness to effectively promote the full coverage of the industry's application in more space. In the future, more AIoT software and hardware integrated products will be brought through algorithm-defined hardware, and at the same time, adhering to the concept of extreme openness and in-depth cooperation, we hope to work with partners to co-prosper and coexist, and create a new AI vision of space digitalization.
