The world-leading brand “Uniview” exhibited their full line of edge video analysis algorithms. These technologies greatly enhance video intelligence analysis and their applications in different scenarios, while also reducing the costs of such applications. As one of China’s top three video surveillance equipment brands, Uniview provided detailed introductions to their full range of cameras, recorders, and management solutions for the on-site guests.

The third exhibitor, ecosystem partner “QMap”, is a company focused on the development of 3D SCADA GIS engine applications. As an industry-leading technology company, they possess a world-leading lightweight, city-scale, and fully domestically-produced 3D engine. They demonstrated numerous recent applications of 3D BIM digital twins in cities, parks, and buildings. Their 3D data management, 3D AI data analytics, and various 3D visualization technologies were vividly showcased.

The AgileCore team also presented their integrated management platform that combines video management systems, access control systems, 3D models, and IoT technologies (such as the full line of HVAC and lighting control devices based on AllGo technology). This management platform is based on a data-centric and AI-assisted management concept. They demonstrated several core management function modules, such as visitor management, patrol management, virtual patrols, robot management, and event management. They also showcased the integration of specialised equipment, such as a document scanner capable of identifying passport authenticity.

Finally, the AgileCore team exhibited two patrol robots – an indoor mobile robot and an outdoor waterproof robot. These patrol robots can not only perform security patrol tasks, but also facility management patrols. Their vision can be combined with video analysis to automate many patrol tasks, automatically recording normal situations and raising alarms for abnormal conditions. The latest patrol robots can even detect human falls, abnormal temperatures, smoke or fire, and even water logging. They also showcased a larger outdoor robot with special wheels that can turn in place, allowing for flexible movement in tight spaces. During the two open visitor sessions, the ten exhibition units were crowded, with many guests actively asking questions and hands-on experiencing the latest technologies, such as AR glasses, digital human interactions, and electricity leakage suppression.

Ten technology booths were exhibited on that day with live demonstrations, guests gathered during the two opening hours, interacted and experienced AgileCore AI solutions, such as AR glasses, digital staff-to-human interactions, leakage suppression, technologies, etc.
