On the afternoon of the 28th, the 2021 Global Door Industry Ecosystem Wealth Creation Summit for Smart Locks commenced in Shenzhen.

Sunny OIT's Keynote: "Smart Optics Makes the Lock Different"

Luke Zhou, Marketing Director of Sunny OIT, was invited to deliver a keynote speech titled "Smart Optics Makes the Lock Different."

Luke began by outlining Sunny Group's 30-year development journey and business portfolio, highlighting how Sunny OIT differs from the common perception of Sunny and its established industry presence. He noted that Sunny is widely recognized as a leading hardware supplier of optical components and modules with significant market capitalization. As a subsidiary, Sunny OIT embodies the Group's strategic focus on "Robotic Vision." Leveraging robust technological reserves, it has specialized in 3D depth vision sensing for years, establishing two core product lines: Recognition and Positioning. Smart lock vision represents a critical segment within the Recognition product line.

While Sunny primarily focuses on major industries like mobile and automotive, Sunny OIT is tasked with expanding into niche markets. It has successfully penetrated smart home scenarios such as robotic vacuum cleaners and smart TVs, achieving notable success. Based on acute market awareness and extensive research, Sunny OIT identified the smart lock market three years ago. With the surge in demand for face recognition locks and increasing market maturity, the cost share of visual solutions within the Bill of Materials (BOM) has risen steadily. Consequently, Sunny OIT made a strategic decision to establish a dedicated Smart Lock Product Line by the end of 2020.

Luke stated, "Our presence here aims to shed light on Sunny's committed yet underrecognized efforts in lock vision technology." Sunny OIT now offers comprehensive solutions including structured light, ToF (Time-of-Flight), and binocular technologies, providing a one-stop visual closed-loop service encompassing camera hardware, image algorithms, application algorithms, and cloud/APP services. Guided by deep market understanding, the company has formulated a holistic product roadmap. Current mature solutions include the "Cost-effective True 3D Binocular Face Recognition D100 Solution" and the "Pioneering VGA-ToF S100 Solution supporting Two-way Video Intercom."

Moving forward, Sunny OIT will solidify its foundation, increase targeted R&D investment in locks, identify strategic clients, and support the industry's transition from professional-grade to consumer-grade brands.

Continuing the Dialogue: Roundtable Discussion

A roundtable session convened industry experts to discuss critical topics: "How to ensure the security of facial data collection for smart locks?" "How can multi-modal lock products effectively appeal to consumers?" "What conditions are necessary for smart homes to function as central hubs?"

Panelists, including Sunny OIT (from a visual solution provider perspective), Sakura (from an end-product manufacturer perspective), and others representing their respective sectors, offered diverse viewpoints. Concluding the discussion, Luke Zhou invoked a marathon analogy: "The most crucial element to winning a marathon is simply finishing the race. This mirrors Sunny OIT's philosophy: we prioritize long-term development. Our commitment is to accompany our clients throughout the entire marathon journey." His remarks were met with resounding applause.
