Building a Smarter Manufacturing Park for Central Asia’s Leading Ice Cream Brand
#Others
Dahua partnered with Shin-Line to design and implement a digital smart manufacturing park solution. The project aimed to create a safer, more intelligent, and more efficient production environment covering people, vehicles, goods, and production processes.
Overview
Shin-Line, the leading ice cream brand in Central Asia, has continued to expand its market presence with the development of a large, modern manufacturing complex in Almaty, Kazakhstan.
Designed with innovative technologies and automated production lines, the new facility reaches a planned daily production capacity of up to 350 tons, representing a major step forward in Shin-Line’s production scale and operational efficiency.
Challenges
Shin-Line faced several key pain points. As a large manufacturing park with frequent logistics activity, the site needed to manage both small vehicles and oversized trucks efficiently. Wide entrances and exits required accurate vehicle recognition across lanes of up to 12 meters, while the parking areas needed broader visibility and reliable tracking. At the same time, Shin-Line required a comprehensive security system with AI-based detection, efficient post-event investigation, and a highly visualized monitoring center. Beyond security, product quality was also a major priority. The client wanted to identify potential quality risks caused by non-standard employee operations on the production line and improve traceability when issues occurred.
Solutions
Dahua provided an integrated solution combining CCTV, access control, ANPR, AI detection, bullet-PTZ linkage, and the DSS Pro management platform. At the entrances and exits, Dahua deployed a dual-camera ANPR design capable of recognizing vehicles across ultra-wide lanes, supporting different vehicle types from small cars to large logistics trucks. In the parking lot, the bullet-PTZ linkage design enabled wide-area coverage and automatic tracking of moving vehicles, helping security teams monitor activity more effectively.
For centralized management, Dahua’s DSS Pro platform unified multiple systems and devices across different regions of the park, including video surveillance, access control, and ANPR. This allowed security personnel to conduct remote monitoring and manage daily operations from a single platform, significantly reducing manual workload.
In the production area, Dahua’s AI-enabled video solution supported quality auxiliary inspection and traceability. By detecting employee behaviors and operational processes, the system helped identify potential quality risks caused by non-standard procedures. When quality issues needed investigation, staff could use quick video search functions to trace the relevant production stage and review recorded footage efficiently.
Results
The Shin-Line project became the first demonstration site for Dahua’s smart manufacturing park solution in the region. Across Phase 1 to Phase 3, the cooperation evolved from a single security product deployment into a fully integrated multi-system solution. The result is a modern manufacturing park with stronger security, more efficient vehicle management, improved operational visibility, and enhanced quality assurance support. Through this project, Dahua helped Shin-Line build a digital foundation for intelligent manufacturing, enabling the company to protect people, vehicles, and goods while supporting its mission to deliver high-quality products to customers across Central Asia.
“We aim to monitor every step from production to transport and staff movement. Now we have a modern situational center and reliable surveillance system that ensures people’s safety and flawless product quality,” says Mr. Digay Damir, Vice President for Internal and External Affairs of the Shin-Line Group of Companies.
