Manufacturers know that their margins lie in keeping the conveyor belts and production lines running. They know they need to maximize productivity by minimizing any impact of system or production downtimes and enhancing operator performance.
How can they do this? Through the installation of video cameras and software designed to operate in various environmental conditions including extreme heat or cold, humid conditions and desert-dry conditions. Cameras in manufacturing settings may also be asked to perform in poorly lit areas, dusty environments and even on devices that are vibrating or otherwise are in motion.
What can video surveillance cameras do to help manufacturers be more productive? Here are some ways:
- Through process monitoring.
- Asset protection.
- Monitoring the loading, unloading and storage of hazardous materials.
- Assembly line and process monitoring.
Camera and lens selection is as important to the owner of the manufacturing site as is the camera management software. Will you need to monitor activity from a remote location? Do you want to have both real time and recorded surveillance? Will you need software that can monitor and send an alarm in the event of a malfunction?
