HIKROBOT Unveils Next-Gen Machine Vision Innovations at 2025 Product Launch and Tech Exchange Event in Shenzhen
On May 13, 2025, HIKROBOT hosted its highly anticipated 2025 Machine Vision Product Launch and Technology Exchange Conference in Shenzhen, marking the ninth consecutive year of groundbreaking innovations in machine vision. The hybrid online-offline event drew over 45,000 partners , featuring dynamic on-site demonstrations and live multi-platform streaming of its latest hardware and software technologies.
9 Years, 9 Launches — Unbounded Innovation
Staying true to its mission of innovation driven by market demand, HIKROBOT has released a steady stream of advanced machine vision solutions year after year. The annual launch event has become a landmark for the industry, symbolizing the company’s relentless pursuit of excellence.
Challenges & Opportunities in Machine Vision
Zhang Wencong , Vice President of HIKROBOT, opened the conference by addressing the current landscape of machine vision. He emphasized the enormous untapped potential in industrial quality inspection and the pivotal role of AI foundation models, computational imaging , and flexible inspection in unlocking new possibilities across sectors.
Continuous Evolution: Standard Product Innovations
Zhang Zhenhua , Director of the Standard Product Line, unveiled the third-generation CT Series industrial cameras , which offer a scalable platform with advanced architecture, richer software features, and adaptable expansion options. The cameras are available in Mini, Base, Pro , and Max versions, with Pro and Max integrating multispectral fusion , precision thermal control , and IP67 protection for versatile industrial scenarios.
HIKROBOT also released an upgraded dome-light 2.5D vision system for enhanced reflectivity suppression, along with high-resolution and high-speed cameras to meet the growing demands in display panels, semiconductors , and battery manufacturing .
Industrial AI: From Complex to Simple, Learn & Apply
Hu Zhigang , Director of Smart Products, highlighted HIKROBOT’s comprehensive AI strategy, which integrates AI across the full lifecycle—from data collection and labeling to training and deployment. The company has developed general-purpose vision foundation models for image segmentation, object detection, OCR, and barcode reading, along with scenario-specific models and edge-learning algorithms .
Key AI product highlights include:
VM Algorithm Platform 5.0 : A unified platform combining vision foundation models with edge-learning tools for flexible deployment.
SC5000X and SC2000X smart cameras : Enhanced with integrated VM functions for greater adaptability.
IDMVS5.0 Client + ID2000XM Reader : A next-gen AI-powered smart code reader with optimized algorithms, optics, and user experience.
3D Vision: Seeing the Future in Depth
Wang Chunmao , Director of the 3D Product Line, announced a comprehensive expansion of the RGBD stereo camera range with multiple technical architectures, including laser galvo , line scan structured light , and projected structured light . These systems now span Ultra-resolution, Turbo anti-light interference, DPS compact models , and specialized welding variants .
The accompanying RP V2.2 robotic guidance platform brings visual debugging and functional enhancements, while the DP series of 3D laser profilers has inherited key improvements from the DP4000 to ensure higher image quality, frame rates, and usability.
Additionally, the upgraded VM 3D algorithm platform boosts memory efficiency and algorithm performance to support precision measurement needs across industries.
Eye–Foot–Hand Collaboration: Towards Smart Industry
For the first time, the event seamlessly integrated a technology exchange with the product launch. Sun Yuandong , VP of HIKROBOT, introduced the concept of “vision-control integration ,” where robotic systems embed visual functions and vice versa, enabled by HIKROBOT’s deep capabilities in hardware, software, and algorithms.
Chen Shaojun , VP of Domestic Marketing, elaborated on the company’s “eye–foot–hand” collaborative ecosystem. This strategy connects sensing, decision-making, and execution through a unified, cross-product, platform-based framework for intelligent services.
The company’s technical director in Shenzhen shared real-world applications of this collaboration model in 3C electronics, lithium batteries, PCBs , and automotive manufacturing .
Immersive Showcase: Bridging Tech and Application
An immersive exhibition zone featuring over 20 visual products and solutions gave attendees a first-hand experience of how HIKROBOT’s technologies are transforming industries like smart manufacturing and intelligent logistics.
The Shenzhen event marked the beginning of HIKROBOT’s “Intelligent Vision in Motion” national tour , which will bring machine vision innovations and technical dialogues to more cities across China.
