Hikvision Brings More Than 100 Industrial Digitalization Products to 2026 China International Industry Fair

At the 2026 China International Industry Fair, Hikvision showcased more than 100 industrial scenario digitalization products, from semiconductor inspection to fiber-optic belt monitoring, as it expands from security into industrial sensing and AI.

The push comes as China’s industrial internet market continues to expand. According to CCID Consulting data cited by Leiphone, the market reached 1.25878 trillion yuan in 2025, up 12.6% year on year, and is expected to reach 1.67535 trillion yuan by 2028. The article also cited the 15th Five-Year Plan and the 2026 Government Work Report, which call for expanding application scenarios for new technologies and deepening “AI plus” initiatives.

Leiphone reported that China has 41 major industrial categories, 207 medium categories and 666 small categories, the only country with all industrial categories in the United Nations classification. That breadth makes industrial scenarios highly fragmented, the article said, and favors suppliers that can adapt sensing and AI to specific production problems rather than offer one generic solution. Hikvision’s sensing portfolio covers visible light, infrared, X-ray, millimeter wave, fusion spectrum and acoustic technologies; it sells more than 30,000 hardware product models and more than 100 software products, according to the article. Its Guanlan large model combines multimodal AI with industry knowledge, Leiphone reported.

In inspection, Leiphone reported that Hikvision’s X-ray industrial inspection large model cuts the number of labeled images needed to train a model from thousands to dozens, and in some special cases to three to five using unsupervised technology. In ultrasonic testing, Hikvision developed a knowledge-enhanced signal reconstruction network and ultrasonic large model; in new-energy vehicle parts inspection, single-workpiece inspection efficiency rose by more than 60% and defect recognition accuracy was no lower than 99.5%, according to the article.

For foldable-screen phone hinges, Hikvision’s X-ray large-model inspection system detects cracks, pores and foreign matter with minimum precision of 0.05 mm, and the defect rate fell by one order of magnitude after full X-ray AI inspection, Leiphone reported. The solution was first deployed at a leading customer and then expanded across the phone industry. Its SOP behavior detection system can adapt to new workpieces and scenarios with one to eight images and be deployed in minutes; at more than 600 core workstations in Hikvision’s Chongqing, Tonglu and Wuhan production bases, efficiency at a single workstation rose by up to 80% compared with manual methods. Jifeng Seating, in Li Auto’s supply chain, cut its C-pin missed-driving rate to as low as 0.01%, and United Power covered 100% of key processes, according to the article. Hikvision’s SOP system has been deployed in hundreds of projects across auto parts, 3C electronics, semiconductors and food packaging.

In equipment monitoring, Hikvision developed a positioning listening fiber that installs fiber-optic sensors on belt conveyors and uses AI to locate faults from roller sounds. China has about 300,000 industrial belts, some long belts costing up to hundreds of millions of yuan, Leiphone reported. The technology won the only gold award at the 2025 National Innovation Method Competition and has been used by Nanjing Steel, Huaxin Cement and East China Materials, according to the article.

Hikvision Robotics reported 6.452 billion yuan in revenue in 2025. Its vision products have shipped more than 10 million units and mobile robots more than 200,000 units, with one of every two industrial cameras and one of every three mobile robots in the domestic market coming from Hikvision Robotics, according to Leiphone; the unit has served more than 20,000 customers. The company’s industrial radar line, extended from automotive technology, includes one-dimensional level meters, two-dimensional cross-section imaging radar, three-dimensional scanning imaging radar and four-dimensional obstacle-avoidance radar. At Shaanxi Shangluo Power Generation, a laser scanning imaging radar completed a full inventory check in three minutes with accuracy above 97%, raising coal inventory efficiency by dozens of times, the article said.

Hikvision’s own smart factory is also a test site. It handles 30,000-plus hardware product models and 14,000 orders a day, with an average of about 30 units per order and a configured-to-order ratio of 70%, according to Leiphone. More than 1,500 mobile robots work in the plant, and its fully automated unmanned smart camera line is 243% more efficient than a traditional line. In 2025, the factory was included in China’s first batch of lighthouse-level smart factory cultivation list.

Editor's Summary

Hikvision used the 2026 China International Industry Fair to present more than 100 industrial scenario digitalization products and to position multi-dimensional sensing plus its Guanlan large model as the base for its expansion beyond security. Leiphone cited customer deployments in phone hinges, auto parts, belt monitoring and power generation, along with Hikvision’s own smart factory, as evidence that the approach is moving into production. The article frames physical-world digitalization as a market that requires fragmented, scenario-specific systems rather than one universal solution.
