HIKMICRO, a subsidiary of HIKVISION, has officially entered the global measurement device market with the launch of its high-precision Coriolis and ultrasonic flow meters. This strategic expansion is an important step towards the company's goal of offering a comprehensive industrial platform that combines process control, predictive maintenance and production safety in a single, cost-effective solution.
As one of the few manufacturers that designs and manufactures the chips, develops the basic algorithms and performs all quality control and production in-house, HIKMICRO has earned a reputation for making advanced thermal imaging technology accessible across industries.
HIKMICRO's chip-to-system approach has broken the traditional high-price monopoly of industry giants, enabling more companies to introduce predictive maintenance and significantly improve their own production reliability.
Stefan Li, Overseas Market Director at HIKMICRO, explains: "Factories need more and more affordable solutions for process control in production and for digital transformation. Our expansion into the measurement device sector is naturally based on our experience in thermal imaging technology. As a subsidiary of HIKVISION, founded in 2016, HIKMICRO is one of the few manufacturers worldwide that fully integrates chip design and manufacturing, core algorithm development, quality control and production in-house and does not rely on suppliers."
The new flow meters build on HIKMICRO's core competencies in sensor development, signal processing and calibration. The FC00 Coriolis mass flow meter offers a measurement accuracy of ±0.1% for liquids and ±0.5% for gases, making it ideal for the food and beverage industry, where precision is critical.
Its AI-supported temperature compensation ensures a density accuracy of ≤±0.001 g/cm³, while the integrated diagnostic function monitors system integrity. The device enables ultra-fast digital processing at 8000 samples per second, significantly improving measurement reliability and response times even in demanding industrial environments.
The FU00 ultrasonic flow meter achieves an accuracy of ±0.5% in water applications and features a non-invasive design that avoids pressure losses and downtime. To ensure optimal operation, intelligent AI continuously evaluates signal quality and probe performance. Although the devices themselves offer impressive accuracy and performance data, they are part of a larger goal: to help industry digitise processes without incurring the high costs that have delayed or even prevented the adoption of such solutions in the past.
The move into flow measurement underscores the company's commitment to making reliable and highly accurate technology available to a broader market. By combining in-house chip design and advanced algorithms with economies of scale in production, the company is in a strong position to deliver instruments that meet demanding industry standards without reaching the traditionally high price barrier.
Today, HIKMICRO operates in over 100 countries worldwide and supports its customers with a broad portfolio that includes portable thermal imaging cameras, acoustic cameras and stationary thermography systems. With the addition of flow measurement devices to its portfolio, the company is expanding its offering to include process control in production. This lays the foundation for an integrated platform that enables continuous monitoring, early fault detection and process optimisation from a single source.
With this expansion, the company is strengthening its role as a partner for industrial companies looking for practical and scalable ways to improve efficiency, increase safety and accelerate digital transformation.
