Video Surveillances

Video Surveillance: When you think Video Surveillance don’t just think of security. Security is an obvious reason for a high tech surveillance system, but there is another very effective usage of such system. Consider this… your process covers many square feet of utilized space with many different types of integrated and essential pieces of equipment to produce your product efficiently. This equipment and/or process typically requires some type of visual inspection and operator interface to run the system efficiently. Many applications are in confined space or have some safety hazard involved too. Having a central monitoring system for control and alarming is only one piece of the puzzle. Adding video surveillance to the package adds the capability of monitoring the whole process visually from a central location. This will limit the need to enter unsafe areas of your production facility, and limit the need of additional manpower to do so. The operator also has the capability of seeing the whole production facility instantly, at a single glance without wasting time walking miles a day just to monitor or respond to problems or concerns in the process. The result… a safer, more efficient use of manpower, and a more efficient response to problems and issues. And don’t forget, you now have a built in hi-tech security system also. Because this data can also be stored for months or even years, it can be used to troubleshoot intermittent system failures and/or maintenance issues that occur by comparing run and alarming process data with actual video of the running process at the time of failure.

This is a very powerful troubleshooting aide!
