Popular just-in-time delivery practices, tight margins and very complex, global supply chains are the model of the day for manufacturers and vendors. When combined, it isn't surprising that quality control and supply chain surveillance is now increasingly viewed as mandatory by many. Indeed, it is one area where economical analysts, finance experts, business leaders, corporate security and IT and government agencies are in agreement with shareholders and customers.
While video surveillance has been common for security, retail and hospitality "slip and fall", theft protection, and other standard uses, manufacturing, process control, quality and safety monitoring are rapidly on the rise as a primary consumer of this technology.
Industrial video surveillance, when deployed for quality control and supply chain monitoring, can solve many issues for users.
Customers are able to monitor the manufacturing process, live or in recorded action, from end to end, satisfying many requirements. Manufacturing experts are able to monitor the manufacturing and flow process, watching for steps and activities than can be simplified, enhanced and improved. Recalls and product issues can also be retraced through review of batch manufacturing from days, weeks or months before, with virtually unlimited retention capability.
With industry surveillance, safety, theft, inventory shrinkage, inappropriate access, unattended objects, and suspicious behavior can be identified and tracked, useful for forensics or as it happens. And standard perimeter and physical security systems can be leveraged, and use the same video surveillance infrastructure and management systems.
Addressing these requirements doesn't have to be complicated or expensive. Intransa's proven IP storage solutions deliver the 3Rs of video: Retention, Resolution & Reliability, at a lower price than traditional CCTV solutions ever could.
