Since early 2024, Vionvision Ptd. Ltd. ("Vionvision"), a pioneer in computer vision sensing and AI analysis technology, and Trio Industrial Electronics Group Limited ("Trio Group"), a leading manufacturer and distributor of advanced industrial electronic components and products in Hong Kong, have commenced an in-depth discussion and exploration of the application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the smart retail sector. After more than half a year's effort, leading by Ms. Zhang Jingjing, Chief Executive Officer of Trio Group, and Mr. Wesley Ma, Chief Marketing Officer of Vionvision, two parties officially signed the "Belt and Road" Regional Strategic Cooperation Agreement on 29th August 2024.

This strong alliance signifies that both parties will focus on exploring smart retail applications in EV charging stations, new energy chargers and advertising solutions. Targeting the customer traffic sensing and demographics analysis, coordination and synergization, as well as decision-making, both parties strive to establish a set of all-round AI innovative technologies and industry-level solutions which provide one-stop retail data services to the upstream and downstream cooperative enterprises and to enable them to reduce cost and increase effectiveness and efficiency.

"Cloud - Edge - Terminal" Smart Retail Solutions Are Coming True

As one of the earliest "explorers" of smart retail in the "Belt and Road" economic belt, Trio Group is building a network of more than 100 offline EV charging stations and advertising media, which is an important foundation for co-innovation and cooperation with VionVision. This foundation allows both parties to offer data-driven smart retail analysis and solutions to new energy charging station customers, advertising brands owners, store owners in the ecosystem and property managers.

Trio Group and Vionvision, after evaluating privacy applicability, edge computing capabilities, hardware integration, algorithm customization needs, and solution standardization, adopt the approach to fully integrate artificial intelligence of things (AIoT) and business intelligence platform (BI) in the collection, correlation analysis, and output of all retail data inside and outside the new energy ecosystem. The parties will focus on the following areas:

1. CPA (Cost per action)/ CPS (Cost per sale) advertisement placement: Based on the correlation between customer traffic and corresponding purchase/re-purchase behaviour during the advertisement airing time, instead of traditional cost per thousand impression (CPM) placement method, CPA/CPS can maximize ROI (return on investment) for advertising brands owners;

2. Data chain integration: With the jointly-developed OpenAPI, the two parties provide customized data aggregation and distribution rights to different categories of upstream and downstream users;

3. New energy chargers with intelligent customer traffic analytical function: Trio Group has developed a brand-new type of new energy charger fully integrated with AIoT devices, which senses and analyses customer behaviors, product transactions, and purchasing outcomes throughout the entire sales cycle, from when the customers enter and park at the charging area until they leave. It also offers opportunities for secondary marketing (repurchases and membership system).

4. Optimization of regional customer traffic and store leasing: By analyzing the store traffic and sales data of the flagship store(s), Trio Group and VionVision's one-stop smart retail solution can amplify its aggregation effect to a certain extent, and effectively improve the overall retail performance and rental income within the charging junction hub;

5. A/B test and integrated marketing: Different unconventional displays, like new energy vehicles exhibition areas and pull-up advertising banners, are compared and analyzed through AI reports to give the most effective recommended results.

Ms. Zhang Jingjing, CEO of Trio Industrial Electronics Group Limited, stated, "After securing the development rights of Sinooil's 143 charging stations in Kazakhstan, Star Media's advertising media network and the e-commerce business of new energy vehicles, spare parts and ancillary automotive services with Alibaba in the region, we reached a cooperation agreement with VionVision who will provide the terminal-wise customers traffic analysis for the charging stations and charging junction hub and both parties will work together to complete the software integration. This collaboration enhances Trio Group's business development in the region. Today's Trio Group, keeping its origin as a high-tech manufacturer of EV charger and surrounding power supplies products, enters an in-depth cooperation with super-power partners, to develop master class new energy related industries. We shall exploit our capabilities from product R&D; production capabilities; supply chain management to sales marketing and after-sales services, on an OMO model. Coupled with our own developed AI and big data analytics tools applicable to the ecosystem of our EV charging stations, an economically viable business model is to be developed in the Central Asia region."

Meanwhile, Mr. Wesley Ma, Chief Marketing Officer of Vionvision Pte. Ltd., also expressed his high expectations for this cooperation, said, "2024 is the 'most practical year' for the global AI industry to move from laboratory research to the execution of real application scenarios. At the critical moment when LLM companies are still looking for applications, Vionvision and Trio Group have found a mutual match in new energy, smart retail and multiple other fields through complementary advantages and industrial combination. With the enhanced edge-computing capabilities, non-biometric features and demographics extraction and correlation analysis of customer traffic, as well as enriched new retail functions on the basis of big data, the ReID (Person Re-Identification) smart retail service solution jointly explored by the two parties will iterate the data experience of retail operators in three dimensions: 'Cloud - Edge - Terminal'."
