Hypersen: Deeply cultivating intelligent perception technology and fully empowering industrial digital intelligence

In the current wave of industrial digital and intelligent development, perception technology can be compared to the wisest eye attached to manufacturing and industry. In key production and manufacturing links such as positioning, recognition, measurement, and detection, perception technologies represented by vision can make up for the deficiencies of the human eye in terms of accuracy, repeatability, speed, objectivity, cost, and non-destructiveness.

With the continuous upgrading of industrial digitization and intelligence, perception technology has also ushered in a climax of applications. In 2D and 3D vision and in terms of deep perception enhancement of sensors, major manufacturers are also constantly polishing their products according to market and customer needs. From July 11 to 13, during the 2023 China (Shanghai) Machine Vision Exhibition and Machine Vision Technology and Industrial Application Seminar, China Industrial Control Network had an in-depth conversation with Wang Guo’an, chairman of Hypersen Technology (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Hypersen). He talked about Hypersen’s development history, product line, industry applications, and future development directions.

Deeply cultivating industrial vision and leading the new trend of automation.
In the tide of industrial automation, vision detection and recognition technology has become a popular track in recent years. Wang Guo’an said, “Since its establishment in 2015, Hypersen has been focusing on the development of underlying algorithms and hardware for sensors and vision products and has achieved remarkable achievements in the industrial automation field.”

At this exhibition, Hypersen brought core vision and sensor products such as 3D optical profilometer, chromatic confocal sensor, line confocal sensor, ultra-high-speed industrial cameras, binocular structured light 3D vision, 6-axis force torque sensors, laser cross beam sensors, 3D solid-state lidars, ToF ranging sensors, and laser triangulation displacement sensors. These products are widely used in fields such as industrial automation, 3C consumer electronics, robots, new LED displays, drones, AGVs, intelligent transportation, the Internet of Things, and automobiles. It is reported that some visual products and sensors developed by Hypersen have reached the international forefront in terms of performance indicators. The measurement repeatability of related products can reach within 0.1 micrometer at the highest, enabling the replacement of similar foreign products.

In this interview, Wang Guo’an also detailed the detailed applications and industry adaptability of Hypersen’s product line. He said, “Hypersen’s products not only cover various fields of industrial automation but also meet the needs of different industries and customers.”

It is understood that the industries currently focused on by Hypersen include 3C electronics, new energy, semiconductors, and healthcare. Especially in the new energy industry, significant growth has been achieved in the past two years. Wang Guo’an said, “Hypersen’s products have been widely used in the 3C and new energy industries in large quantities in the past two years. The new energy industry is an emerging industry in recent years, and its detection and recognition needs are also gradually increasing, including appearance detection and equipment detection. This is due to the company’s products being able to meet the needs of related industries for high-precision measurement and detection and the company’s accurate grasp of the development trend of the new energy industry.”

China Industrial Control Network believes that according to the current development characteristics of industrial digital intelligence and the rapid deployment and listing of manufacturing, we believe that the simultaneous supply of software and hardware for vision and sensor perception is more in line with this rapid development attribute setting and can help downstream enterprises achieve efficient collaboration in terms of innovation and deployment capabilities.

Empowering industrial automation and promoting high-quality innovation in vision and perception technology.
Of course, Hypersen is positioned mainly in hardware, but this does not mean that the company ignores the importance of software. On the contrary, Hypersen realizes that future industrial automation is not only hardware automation but also intelligence that combines intelligent algorithms and hardware. Therefore, Wang Guo’an said, “Hypersen mainly offers standardized sensor products. At the same time, we provide a standard software development kit. What applications customers develop based on these algorithms will be completed independently by customers.”

According to the views of the Industrial Control Research Institute and industry trends, in addition to digital intelligence, stable supply chains and product quality will be the focus of downstream enterprises’ considerations in product selection and scheme implementation in the future.

According to the introduction, in terms of supply chain security, Hypersen attaches great importance to localization and can support the long-term supply needs of customers. This also shows that Hypersen has full awareness and preparation for supply chain security. Of course, on the other hand, the measurement and detection functions applied by Hypersen’s sensor products and vision products themselves are a guarantee for the quality and performance of downstream enterprise products.

Wang Guo’an concluded, “We focus on hardware, supplemented by software and algorithms. Ensuring supply chain security is our guarantee. At the same time, meeting customer needs to the greatest extent is our goal. We are steadily moving forward on the road of industrial automation. We look forward to achieving greater achievements in the field of industrial automation in the future. The company’s products can not only meet the basic needs of industrial automation equipment but also meet the advanced needs of industrial digitization and intelligence.”

In addition, Wang Guo’an expressed great confidence in the company’s innovation: “All our product lines maintain rapid updates. So every time a new generation of products comes out, there will be some improvements in performance and stability. We will also maintain continuous updates to continuously provide customers with sensor and vision products with market competitiveness.”

With the rapid development of industrial automation, intelligent perception and vision systems, as key technologies, are becoming an important part of industrial production. In this field full of opportunities and challenges, Hypersen has made many innovations and breakthrough achievements, bringing huge impetus to the industry. Hypersen’s emphasis on supply chain security, product quality, and customer service reflects their respect for customers and professional attitude towards products.

Especially in tracks such as 3C electronics, lithium battery production line operations, and machine replacement, the application heat of machine vision and intelligent sensing remains unabated. We also find that many domestic sensor enterprises are constantly making achievements in software and hardware. But for most local small and medium-sized enterprises focusing on sensors, how can the road of empowering industrial production and manufacturing be smoothed out and opened up? Especially in the current situation where the economic environment and external competition pressure are quite harsh, building moats and forming technical and resource barriers is a very important point.

Finally, China Industrial Control Network believes that in the long-term development process of future industrial digital intelligence, from the “basic positioning, recognition, measurement, and detection” 2D perception function to the more complex “classification, guidance, measurement, and detection” perception function, it is not only a functional advancement but also the development need of “thinking” type and intelligent recognition systems driven by the downstream lithium battery and industrial robot demand markets.
