Video surveillance in production: let's increase productivity!

Congratulations, the fourth industrial revolution has come true! And if your business is related to production, it’s time to increase its efficiency. With the help of “smart” video surveillance, for example.

Modern CCTV cameras have essentially become multi-sensors. They learned how to analyze the received data. And it opened up a lot of new possibilities.

Control and accounting

License plate recognition is a useful feature in any secure facility. Using it, you can automatically record the numbers of vehicles that enter and leave the facility. So take a journal with handwritten notes away from the guard and send it to the scrap. Video analytics will cope more clearly, faster, more accurately.

In particular, Partizan CCTV cameras, marked with a special “Adapted for LPR systems” badge, can do this. For example, IPO-VF2RP ANPR AF Starlight SH. Also, in tandem with SH-series DVRs, Partizan Cloud series CCTV cameras support other important video analytics functions: people counting, perimeter and line crossing detection, face recognition, etc.

Advanced video surveillance systems with special software, such as the Partizan Sniper implemented in the UAE, can even open barriers in front of cars whose numbers appear on the “white list”. Or do not let cars from the “black” drive-through. Also, the system is able to recognize and distinguish between civil and state numbers and thus “recognizes” cars of taxi services, police, ambulance, etc. All this eliminates unnecessary movements of the security service and allows you to optimize its work.

In the following publications we will tell about Partizan Sniper in detail. It is interesting!

Personnel safety

Personal safety is another important priority in industrial enterprises. Smart video surveillance will help in this matter as well. It can be responsible for…

•  … control of warehouse equipment. For example, preventing forklift operators from turning on “Schumacher” mode. This popular entertainment of theirs usually does not lead to good.
• … compliance with the rules for wearing helmets, protective vests, goggles, etc.
•  … informing about objects blocking entrances and exits. Fire safety rules must be followed!

Furthermore, advanced equipment that implements “machine vision” functionality can even monitor the correct operation of assembly lines. Comes defective product? Stop the line! However, such functionality can be called a separate branch of CCTV development. A notable representative of this high-tech trend is Basler dedicated CCTV cameras. The company is engaged in developments in the field of “computer vision” and has succeeded a lot in this.

Epidemiological control

Yes, we know, the covid question is still in place. And the virus hasn’t gone away. In the era of the pandemic, intelligent video surveillance helps in the prevention of viral diseases in enterprises. In particular, it ensures that employees wear masks and maintain social distance, not “crowding” in enclosed spaces.

Note! There are special gadgets with integrated CCTV cameras that are installed at checkpoints for automatic mask control, remote temperature screening, and verification of vaccination certificates.

Partizan STD-2MP PM is one such multifunctional device. All its features can be found in a separate article.

 What is the conclusion?

IP CCTV cameras with video analytics will greatly improve the overall efficiency of the enterprise. They will determine that the machine is idle, and the employee is not doing his job correctly. Video CCTV cameras will notice defects on the production line and identify equipment failures.

Video analytics solves more and more problems as IIoT – Industrial Internet of Things – gains momentum. This must be used in order to work with maximum efficiency, and therefore – profit.
