Hikvision, an IoT solution provider with video as its core competency, announced a new technology partnership with Irida Labs, a vision AI solution provider from Europe, to integrate its IP cameras and HikCentral software with Irida Labs' PerCV.ai Industry 4.0 Package. The integration provides intelligent vision AI solutions for manufacturing and logistics sectors to manage warehouses and plants in real-time.  

Utilising the Hikvision Intelligent Security API (ISAPI) protocol and Embedded Open Platform Program (HEOP), the integration allows the PerCV.ai algorithm to run inside Hikvision DeepInView camera series for edge processing. Operators can easily monitor manufacturing and logistics processes using PerCV.ai Industry 4.0 Package user interface.  

The combination of video, AI, and edge computing empowers real-time pallet and parcel monitoring, product inspection, forklift and truck monitoring, personal protective equipment (PPE) detection, and critical equipment interaction monitoring. The real-time AI-powered analytics also enables actionable business and process insights.  

"We are excited to join the Hikvision Technology Partnership Program (TPP). Now, our AI vision software PerCV.ai supports Hikvision DeepinView cameras and HikCentral software through this program," says Vassilis Tsagaris, CEO at Irida Labs. "We would like to thank Hikvision for working closely and supporting our team during the last few months, making this integration truly added value for our customers."  

"The combination of the AI-enabling camera platform and the intelligent algorithm of PerCV.ai makes a strong and flexible package for the users. With solutions like this, staff safety and warehouse processes are taken to a new level," added Adler Wu, Global Technology Partner Alliance Manager, Hikvision.
