What is the driving force behind the results? Recently, the reporter once again entered Hikvision.
Innovation-driven, constantly breaking the industry ceiling
In a clothing store, customers are constantly flowing. Through the smart camera installed in the store, the in-store traffic, the basic attributes of the customer group (such as the ratio of male to female, age distribution, etc.), even which clothing is more concerned (trying on and buying people, etc.) can pass the camera and backstage system. Statistical analysis is clear--"This is because our smart cameras use artificial intelligence technology, through deep learning, can extract valuable information from the video for big data analysis." Hikvision Vice President Zheng Yibo said.
Last year, the man-machine battle between Alpha GO and Li Shishi gave everyone an intuitive understanding of artificial intelligence technology. In fact, as early as 2006, Hikvision began research and development of intelligent analysis technology, and in 2013 began the technical layout of deep learning. What Hikvision Research is doing is a forward-looking technology exploration focused on perception, intelligent analytics, cloud storage, cloud computing, and video big data research. Nearly 10,000 people's R&D team translates innovative forward-looking technology research into application technology and products.
Based on years of accumulation of intelligent recognition and deep learning technologies, Hikvision has launched related products since 2015.
In 2015, the company launched an artificial intelligence center product based on GPU and deep learning: "Falcon" video structured server and "blade" vehicle image structure server;
2016 launched a series of front and rear products: "Shenzhen" series of intelligent cameras, "Shenzhen" series of intelligent transportation products; "Super Brain" series NVR, "Facebook" face analysis server.
Artificial intelligence technology has officially entered the stage of full application in the field of video surveillance, and has been used more and more in many industries such as public security, transportation, building, finance, etc., bringing more and more social value. Zheng Yibo said that taking cameras as an example, from the analog cameras of the year to the digital cameras to the network cameras, to the current smart cameras, every time, Hikvision seized the opportunity and continuously introduced innovative products, the industry's The ceiling has also been repeatedly broken.
Technological innovations other than artificial intelligence are equally eye-catching. The company is based on the innovation of camera image processing technology. In recent years, the Starlight+ and Blacklight series cameras have been developed to make the night of the starlight clear under the camera lens. Visible; even in the dark night environment, the same clear, translucent full-color picture, restore the real environment and objects in the night, so that 24 hours are like "daytime", the illegal acts under the night will be nowhere.
What is even more rare is that Hikvision's sales revenue has increased in the overseas market: last year, the annual overseas sales revenue accounted for nearly 30%. "At present, our products rank first in the European market and second in the US market. The United States has always been recognized as the country with the highest level of global technology and has been occupied by the world's old security brands. In the main market, our first overseas branch is located in the United States. After so many years of development, our products are increasingly recognized by the market. Only by gaining a foothold in the US market, our products are truly in the world. Zheng Yibo said.
Incentives to motivate employees to innovate
After more than 10 years of rapid development, how to maintain the vitality of the company and motivate the innovation potential of employees is a major issue facing the management team of Hikvision. So, how does Hikvision dig and inspire employees' innovative abilities?
On December 24, 2016, Hikvision announced that the company's 2016 annual equity incentive targets were 2,936, and the granting date was December 23, 2016. The grant price was 12.63 yuan/share, and the total number of shares was more than 52 million shares. The proportion of the company's total share capital before the grant was 0.86%. Among them, 2,683 core employees at the grassroots level were awarded an average of 16,400 shares per person.
"This kind of incentive mechanism is a long-term incentive mechanism other than the market-competitive salary and welfare of Hikvision. It closely links the vital interests of employees with the overall interests of the company, so as to share benefits and share risks. Effectively motivate employees' work enthusiasm and innovation." Zheng Yibo said.
Last year, Hikvision officially launched the “Management Measures for Core Employees and Investment Innovation Businessâ€. In the innovative business determined by the company from a strategic perspective, the company and its employees share the subsidiary with a 6:4 shareholding, a large number of core employees and The backbone of technology has become a "partner" who shares the benefits of the company and shares risks.
In recent years, small and micro enterprises, households and individual users have huge demand for smart home and civilian security products. Therefore, the “special and beautiful†Internet video (fluorite) business came into being; intelligent manufacturing and “machine substitution†are in full swing. The company's sorting, warehousing, parking and other intelligent robots have been active in the customer's workshops, warehouses, and parks; the company's research and development of the Eagle series of industrial-grade drones, can access the safe city comprehensive application management platform, intelligent transportation Comprehensive management and control platform, etc., bring the city's "three-dimensional security, visual governance" ... At present, the company's Internet video (fluorite), robotics, automotive electronics, infrared sensing, smart storage, five innovative businesses, has been active through the investment platform Advance and expand more space for enterprise development.
