In this high-level interview column, we were fortunate to have invited Mr. Fu Liquan, Chairman of Zhejiang Dahua Technology Co., Ltd., to share with him the development experience of Dahua in the 'Internet +' and artificial intelligence, and look forward to the intelligent development trend of the security industry.
Q: Since the beginning of last year, the industry has entered the era of artificial intelligence. For intelligentized UOB shares, we have worked hard for many years. How do you define the future intelligence?
Fu Liquan: The entire industry has gone through several stages, from the analog era to the digital era and then to the Internet era, and now it has entered the era of intelligence. The key is artificial intelligence, cloud and big data, a path to cloud, big data, artificial intelligence Is linked to, without the cloud and big data, artificial intelligence can not play its power.Artificial intelligence for video and image processing, you must go through the collision of big data in order to produce a lot of value.
There are two types of artificial intelligence technology: edge technology and center technology. In the future, we hope to complete 80% of structured processing in the front-end and realize the collision of data space-time in the back-end. In this way, the front-end and back-end are combined, and the original The big data of the vehicle, big data to the face, and even big data for the future behavior, for the safety of the city under a cloth.
Now the clarity of the video, the speed of operation of the chip, and the algorithm of the neural network have a huge role in advancing the artificial intelligence. The artificial intelligence has a very fast iteration. In the future, the intelligence will become a popular product. The industry value of artificial intelligence Will be re-evaluated.
Q: With the help of AI technology, around the video data as the core, all manufacturers started a true journey of intelligent security. However, there are still many obstacles to the large-scale commercial application of these intelligent technologies. For UOB shares, What do you think is the biggest challenge? What is your response?
Fu Quanquan: Artificial intelligence has gradually come into commercial use since this year. There are many challenges.
On the one hand, it is the needs of customers, what problems we can solve for customers, and what practical values we can bring to our customers. The challenge we face is how to accurately grasp the needs of customers.
The second challenge is technological innovation. Currently in the period of rapid development of artificial intelligence, the iteration speed of hardware, software, and algorithm is very fast. All technical reserves must keep pace with the times, including the reserve of talents.
The third is the operating efficiency, and now the promotion of artificial intelligence is also subject to the cost constraints, we hope that in the near future, through the entire industry chain to achieve capital reduction goals. Artificial intelligence has just started, we will continue to increase in artificial intelligence Investing, coping with challenges, strengthening industry foundations, continuously expanding business areas, accelerating product landing applications, finding new profit growth points, and transforming challenges into development opportunities.
Q: May I ask UOB in the artificial intelligence, machine vision, what is the layout and achieve a critical breakthrough?
Fu Liquan: At present, artificial intelligence is mainly used in machine vision industry 4.0.With UOB Wisdom (IoT) Industrial Park as an example, intelligent cameras are installed everywhere to detect various situations and defects in the production process, Reduce labor. We have a saying that 'make the community safer, make life smarter'. We have a production line has been fully automated, so turn off the light production, it naturally depends on the smart camera, the robot can get the correct position. I believe that Industry 4.0 will also blossom like a safe city and now our machine vision has been successfully applied in many logistics enterprises and there will be more product plans in the future.
Q: The trend of industry solutions is evolving into machine learning (algorithm) + data + computing power. What new changes have your company made in the development of technology planning?
Fu Liquan: The company has set up advanced technology, artificial intelligence, big data, chip four big research institute Big data and artificial intelligence are inseparable, the artificial intelligence structured data on big data inside, there will be a large number of different collisions Value.On the other hand, we have a wealth of products in the layout of the artificial intelligence from the front-end to the NVR storage to the video server, in the solution, digging customer needs, pull the front and back ends and the data center to form and Huawei, Ali's differentiated end-to-end solution creates core value for customers.
Q: What is your opinion on cybersecurity? What is UOB's cybersecurity efforts?
Fu Liquan: Cybersecurity is a very complex issue that has a certain connection with the degree of importance.We have put the safety of equipment and system safety in the highest strategic position. We also have some related exhibitions at AMPH 2017 Out
In general, we will increase our investment in cybersecurity and help us identify problems by establishing close relationships with new Cisco, UL, domestic AnHeng, public security and public security, and at the source of product development, security issues are also One of our important measures, although it may affect the product development cycle, but we will take into account security issues in the project. In the future, we hope that all partners and network security together, we hope that the security As a difference in the content of UOB products.
Q: During the Rio Olympic Games, Dahua participated in the Olympic Games security and defense work. How does this contribute to the improvement of your company's large-scale event security solutions? What are the positive impacts on the expansion of UOB’s overseas operations?
Fu Liquan: In 2016, we had the privilege of participating in the Rio Olympic Games. As a major security monitoring provider, Dahua Group provided nearly 1,800 HD video cameras on the network. It was installed in the main stadium, the Olympic Village, the Olympic Games and the Olympic Games. On the road, and completed the delivery of the project in a short period of one month, the security level in Rio de Janeiro has been successfully upgraded to a new level.
UOB involved in such large-scale projects are still more, such as last year's participation in the Hangzhou G20 Summit, in two core areas: the core area of Xiaoshan G20 Summit and the core area of Qianjiang New City B20 Summit, provided a total of more than 20,000 Taiwan / sets of security equipment And 600 special technical support staff, using face recognition, video concentration, infrared thermography and other latest technology.
Participating in such major events and major security projects is of great significance to our accumulation of experience, improvement of technical solutions and ability to drive overall solutions. Meanwhile, it also greatly enhances the international influence of Dahua Brand and greatly improves UOB's overseas business from a single product Supply to the overall solution provides a positive impact on the transformation and promotion.
Q: What are the advantages of security companies in the wave of intelligent development? How does Dahua grasp the opportunities of the times?
Fu Liquan: The security industry is actually a very small segment, but it is also full of innovation. As China’s security companies seized this opportunity in time, capitalizing on the advantages of cost and rapid response, they have succeeded through a lot of R&D investment. Market growth is much higher than global security companies.
When it comes to AI, it was originally restricted by problems such as algorithms, hardware, and clear requirements. At the same time, the barriers to entry are relatively high, and the labor costs are high. This poses certain risks for enterprises. But I think the opportunities brought by AI are always greater than the challenges. Because AI has created value for us, it has brought great value to face recognition, vehicle identification, and behavior recognition. We have realized a fundamental change in the prediction afterwards. After injecting intelligence, the added value of products has increased. The pull of sales will also be very large. The opportunities for the future are huge, and artificial intelligence will enter the outbreak next year.
