MONITORING SITES REMOTELY

Optiview’s VMS, edge analytic cameras, advanced analytic servers and recorders are helping one of the largest pre-cast concrete manufacturers to ensure best practices throughout their 80 facilities. Various plants perform similar operations but over time, local staff develop different methods of completing identical tasks. At times, these represent an advancement and at times a breach of dictated procedures. The customer wished to capture best practices and share the learning across the company and to develop those not adhering to important aspects of the process. In order to “have eyes” on all aspects of operations across multiple plants throughout the United States, our customer opted to deploy a vast, networked, enterprise scale system that allowed it observe operations across its plants. Complicating this task was the fact that its cast concrete parts are constantly misted to assist in curing, presenting challenges to lense visibility. Optiview optics overcame this both through cutting edge image assistance technologies. Further complicating matters, massive industrial conveyors created vibrations that caused image chopiness. Providing a steady close-up view in a factory environment can be difficult because small vibrations in the plant are amplified when the lens is zoomed in. The images can become jumpy and of no value. Optiview supplies “image stabilized” cameras for this application that electronically remove choppiness from the frame.
