How large-scale AI powered video intelligence transforms efficiency and accelerates smart manufacturing
Video systems—once used mainly for security—are rapidly becoming one of the most valuable sources of operational data in factories and industrial parks, accelerating smart manufacturing process. Today’s cameras provide continuous visibility into assembly processes, equipment movement, quality details, and high-risk work areas, giving manufacturers a real-time view of complex production environments.
However, the large amount of volume and complexity of the video footages makes manual interpretation impractical. This is where large-scale AI becomes essential, enabling advanced artificial intelligence applications across manufacturing operations.
New generations of large-scale AI models bring deeper understanding to video. Beyond simple rule-based analytics, large-scale AI in manufacturing can interpret context, detect anomalies, recognize human–machine interactions, and retrieve specific events from vast video archives through natural-language queries. This transforms video from passive monitoring into a powerful engine for operational intelligence—helping prevent accidents, reduce downtime, and improve overall quality and efficiency.
Automation.com and Hikvision have released a new joint white paper examining how large-scale AI technologies, including Hikvision’s Guanlan models, are reshaping key areas of manufacturing performance:
Together, these applications mark a major shift: video is no longer a static record but an active intelligence layer supporting safer, leaner, and more reliable manufacturing, driven by AI in manufacturing.
Looking ahead, the integration of AI-driven video with robotics, automated material handling, and industrial IoT systems will further accelerate smart manufacturing. As AI becomes more capable of understanding long, complex activity sequences, manufacturers will gain richer insights that drive predictive and adaptive operations.
Download the full white paper to explore how the latest generation of large-scale AI-powered video intelligence is transforming manufacturing—turning video into a strategic source of insight and factory-wide optimization.
