Hikvision redefines smart manufacturing with boosted productivity and visibility
HANGZHOU, China, Aug. 7, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Hikvision has introduced its AIoT-powered manufacturing solutions to help manufacturers maximize productivity and operating efficiency.
When it comes to industrial Internet-of-Things and Industry 4.0 issues, we usually think about the investment in automated equipment as well as the application of software systems such as MES (Manufacturing Execution Systems) and ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning). But enterprise leaders do well to note that smart manufacturing is more than that.
We see today’s manufacturers facing three major challenges:
1.) Personnel Management – While people, or labor, remains the essential element of the production process, their output relies on finer management;
2.) Visibility across the process – Automation equipment and software systems need more timely alerts and improved incident handling protocols, as well as forward-looking insights, to guarantee operational stability; and
3.) Lean Management for Boosted Productivity – In environments as complex as manufacturing plants, lean management regarding factors of production such as office park vehicle traffic, dock management, and information sharing, are also important in boosting productivity.
The Hikvision manufacturing solution leverages AIoT technology to shift offline data online where it can be monitored and utilized. AI and intuitive visualization technology also allows managers to monitor the site, production, and operational processes, and to respond in real time in the event of an issue – helping to drive efficiency and productivity.
Managing personnel more efficiently
Manufacturing parks have significant personnel management requirements, with large teams arriving on site and accessing specific areas for their work all day long – creating complex logistics, access management, security, and health and safety requirements.
Hikvision’s Quick Access Solution, enabled by Hikvision MinMoe face-recognition terminals, gives employees touch-free access to manufacturing sites, covering the main entrance, the floor, offices, exits, production areas, EPA areas (ESDPA – Electrostatic Discharge Protected Area), and more. The technology provides “non-stop” access to ensure that employees can enter the site quickly, even during peak times – such as morning and evening rush hours or in bad weather.
The solution safeguards plant safety with precise access management. For example, only authorized staff can access specific areas of the site. For visitors, the solution provides full-journey online management to enhance convenience and ensure no blind spots for security.
Another benefit of the Quick Access Solution is that it turns physical footprints into digital records for accurate time & attendance management. Based on a manufacturer’s choice of verification and identification methods – from face recognition to fingerprint readers, cards or PIN codes – employees can be identified and attendance reports and work records can be generated automatically. This ensures that the HR department can support employees effectively, optimize time & attendance management, and maximize accuracy for payroll, overtime, and compensation in general.
The Quick Access Solution can also be used to manage in-park facilities – such as facilitating zero-contact payment in cafeteria.
Maximizing visibility for production and operations
Organizations with large-scale production environments often experience information silos, making it difficult to detect and respond to incidents in real time or to make changes that actually increase efficiency. Hikvision’s AR Live Interaction Solution offers a solution to these challenges by providing full visibility of large-scale production processes.
The solution uses Augmented-Reality (AR) cameras and easy-to-use location capabilities to create a live map of a site, giving managers a bird’s-eye view. The system, which integrates seamlessly with other industry control systems, presents production information and site images on a four-screen display.
Some of the key features of the AR Live Interaction Solution include remote inspections, alarm handling, automated information collection and analyses, predictive maintenance for equipment, and performance evaluations. The system also detects defects in equipment and human errors to minimize downtime, mitigate safety risks, and provide insights for better decision making.
With the AR Live Solution, manufacturers can also place visualized displays in the workshop, adding an extra layer of visibility for assets and production processes. Visual images can be used to send safety reminders to employees, to facilitate communications between teams, and to improve work supervision and collaboration for improved efficiency.
Optimizing facilities and traffic management
For all manufacturing parks, the ability to manage the flow of vehicles efficiently and safely is of paramount importance. This requires real-time visibility of driving and parking on site, as well as monitoring of loading and unloading, scheduling and dispatching, and security across all areas of the site.
Hikvision’s Park Traffic Management Solution standardizes on-site vehicle flow to help park managers embrace innovation and increase productivity. The solution is powered by AIoT technologies, including cameras with tailored algorithms, auto-triggered radar, management software, LED displays, and more. These technologies all come together to help operators create more manageable park environments, and to improve vehicle and resource allocations for optimal efficiency.
Speed measurement cameras and LED Screen with real-time speed and ANPR displays help to regulate driving practices at a worksite. This helps to reduce accidents caused by speeding, reverse driving, driving out of lane boundaries, illegal lane changing, and more. Meanwhile, illegal parking cameras detect vehicles that have stopped in prohibited areas that could cause accidents or injuries.
All video images and alarms are received and displayed at a command center managed via HikCentral Professional software. Here, displays show real-time information such as vehicle license plate numbers and speed, enabling operators take prompt action in case of an emergency.
By creating a safer, more orderly park environment, site operators can help incoming drivers locate the right loading docks and warehouses more quickly and easily. Managers also find it easier to stay up-to-date with vehicle statuses, to control traffic, allocate resources, and respond to emergencies. In the end, this all leads up to racially improved productivity and more efficient operations.

Hikvision’s cutting-edge technologies are helping manufacturers to boost their management capabilities around the world, every day, leading to greater efficiency, improved productivity, and site security and safety.

Blockstream Mining Announces Strategic Focus on Proprietary Mining and Vertical Integration
Backed by $350 Million in Financing, Company Scales Infrastructure with Over 120,000 Miners Acquired Since Spinout
MONTREAL, April 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Blockstream Mining, now operating as an independent entity, today announced its sharpened strategic focus on proprietary mining and full vertical integration. The company, which has been a foundational player in the global Bitcoin mining ecosystem since its inception, will concentrate on expanding its self-mining footprint while building the energy infrastructure required to support long-term scalability and resilience.
Following its spinout from Blockstream earlier this year, Blockstream Mining has secured over $350 million in financing, including equity, debt, and tokenized asset sales. The capital raise has enabled rapid execution on key infrastructure initiatives, including the acquisition of over 120,000 miners to fuel the company’s next phase of growth.
“Bitcoin mining is no longer just about machines and megawatts—it’s about owning and optimizing the entire value chain,” said Chris Cook, CEO of Blockstream Mining. “As the industry matures, those who control their own energy and infrastructure will be best positioned to thrive. We’re doubling down on our mission to be one of the most efficient, vertically integrated mining operations in the world.”
Blockstream Mining is deploying capital toward the development of new energy generation assets—particularly renewable and hybrid power systems—to reduce dependence on third-party providers and shield operations from energy market volatility. This approach supports cost stability, improves environmental performance, and ensures maximum uptime across its expanding fleet.
The vertical integration roadmap includes:
- Expansion of Proprietary Mining: Rapid growth in self-mining capacity across North America, anchored by cost-effective, high-uptime sites.
- Infrastructure Ownership: Continued investment in power infrastructure and on-site energy generation to maintain control over critical operational inputs.
- Operational Excellence: Leveraging Blockstream’s engineering legacy and technical depth to drive efficiency across deployment, cooling, and energy management.
Chris Cook, who launched Blockstream Mining and has led the business since its inception, serves as CEO of the newly independent company. Dr. Adam Back, Co-Founder and CEO of Blockstream, will continue to play a valued role in the company’s strategic direction as Chair of the Advisory Board. In this capacity, Dr. Back will provide high-level guidance on technology, infrastructure development, and capital strategy, helping to ensure that Blockstream Mining remains at the forefront of Bitcoin mining innovation.
As part of the spinout, the Blockstream Satellite program — which broadcasts Bitcoin’s blockchain globally via satellite to enhance network resilience and accessibility — will also transition under the new entity’s stewardship. Blockstream Satellite is already an integral part of Blockstream Mining’s operations, providing connectivity for mining sites in remote locations where traditional internet infrastructure is unreliable or unavailable, further strengthening the company’s commitment to security, uptime, and decentralization.
Blockstream Mining has always been about delivering secure, scalable Bitcoin infrastructure,” said Dr. Adam Back. “With this transition, Chris and the team are exceptionally well-placed to carry the vision forward—scaling with independence, deep technical expertise, and a steadfast commitment to Bitcoin’s long-term success. I look forward to collaborating in this next chapter to build something truly enduring.”
“We’re proud of our roots and even more excited about what comes next,” added Cook. “With strong capital backing, clear focus, and full control over our operations, we’re building the backbone of Bitcoin’s future—one megawatt at a time.”
