As members of the media, we had the chance to not only attend the event itself, but also visit the optics factory, chip manufacturing facility and also participate in a Media workshop – along with a number of invited international colleagues from various Media channels − on thermal imaging technology and communication of hunting in the digital age. The event, including the Media only meeting, span over three days, from July 8th to the 10th.

First off − the event itself is of huge importance to the industry, especially for distributors and partners, but it is also of some interest to the average hunter or all4shooters.com reader, although not as much as it is to the industry; however, we had the chance to take a look at HIKMICRO’s roadmap with a number of products and updates which will be released beginning last quarter 2024 all the way to 2025, details of which alas we cannot mention in this article due to enduring non-disclosure agreement (NDA). As soon as the NDA expires, you’ll be able to get the information first here! So be sure to follow our platform.

Following HQ of HIKMICRO, we visited the manufacturing buildings, and we covered our visit in a full HIKMICRO’s factory tour, which will be published in the near future, including a glimpse of the super secretive Silicon chip manufacturing facility where the FPA sensor are made in-house.

We were quite impressed by the automation of the factory, a number of robots handled almost all of the logistics, and also the flexibility of the manufacturing lines that could be repurposed easily from one product to another in very little time.
