INDIA: 30^th June 2022: Dragonfruit, a global provider of the industry’s first massively scalable video AI platform, is pleased to announce its partnership with Hanwha Techwin, a global supplier of intelligent video surveillance solutions. The two companies are helping solve real-world challenges such as detecting liquid spills, fire and smoke, and safety equipment by combining Dragonfruit’s cloud VMS and advanced AI platform with Hanwha Techwin’s industry-leading cameras.

Overview & Integration Purpose

The Hanwha Techwin and Dragonfruit combined solution covers the full edge-server-cloud configuration for physical security. Dragonfruit integrates with Hanwha Techwin’s Wisenet camera series P, X, T, Q, L via a seamless auto discovery mechanism. The cameras are connected to the Dragonfruit AI Frontier M1-powered base station, and data is ingested into the Frontier platform for video management and advanced AI analytics.

Challenges

Together, Dragonfruit and Hanwha Techwin have been able to solve complex AI challenges for customers. Some recent examples include:

• A retail chain wants to understand traffic patterns around newly-installed kiosks.
• A large distribution company wants to protect their outdoor inventory.
• A nationwide retailer needs to monitor liquid spills to prevent customer or employee injury.

Solutions

The end-to-end Hanwha Techwin and Dragonfruit solution is helping customer solve these and other challenges:

• Hanwha’s XNF-9010RV fisheye camera provided input for Dragonfruit’s occupancy management suite to calculate traffic patterns around the kiosks – including occupancy metrics, dwell times, counts, and heat maps.
• Strategically placed Hanwha’s XNO-6120R bullet cameras combined with an advanced AI model from Dragonfruit solved the difficult challenge of detecting and alerting on outdoor smoke and fire to protect inventory.

Installing Hanwha’s PNB-A9001 box cameras in store aisles enabled Dragonfruit to detect liquid spills and send real-time alerts to store employees for prompt cleanup.
