Hanwha Semitech, a subsidiary of Hanwha Vision, has received 100 billion won through two rights offerings of 50 billion won each, in March last year and April this year. It has yet to secure stable profitability. First-half revenue was 246.3 billion won, with operating profit of 2.5 billion won, a margin of 1.02%. That was below interest expenses of 4.2 billion won, though it marked a return to profit from a margin of minus 8.42% a year earlier. Chip equipment brought in 42.1 billion won, up 42% but only 18% of sales. Surface-mount technology equipment generated 69%, and non-chip businesses account for 82%. Hybrid bonders and deposition tools have yet to produce revenue. An industry official said further fundraising will be unavoidable if they fail to deliver, with another rights offering or a sale of the machine tool business under review.

Hanwha Vision has launched BLAZE VMS, a hybrid video management system combining on-premises performance with cloud-based federation for multi-site surveillance management. The platform integrates with Hanwha Vision cameras and devices, offering automated detection and bulk configuration to reduce setup time. BLAZE features AI-powered investigation tools, including Similarity Search for tracking individuals across cameras and Semantic Search using natural language queries. The system enables operators to search using phrases like "a person with a face cover and a backpack in the office lobby" rather than predefined attributes. The platform's clustered architecture scales from single to multi-site deployments whilst maintaining performance. Cloud federation allows centralised user management and secure remote access without VPNs. Purpose-built appliances will be available pre-licensed for simplified deployment.
