Popular just-in-time delivery practices, tight margins and very complex, global supply chains are the model of the day. When combined, it isn't surprising that quality control and supply chain surveillance is now increasingly viewed as mandatory by many manufacturers. 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, quality control and supply chain surveillance is 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 be retraced through review of batch manufacturing.
With industry surveillance, safety, theft, 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.
Scalability:
- Unlike security applications, quality control and supply chain surveillance systems require many more cameras be deployed, not just on choke points or risk areas
- Intransa scalable, industrial video surveillance storage systems can support a few, a few dozen, a hundred, or even several thousand cameras simultaneously, in order to meet extensive supply chain and quality control needs for multi-camera tracking
Retention:
- In order to be truly effective, long recording periods are necessary, something typically not realistic with PC, DVR and NVR-alone solutions due to cost and complexity
- Intransa scalable video surveillance storage can support continuous recording without fragmentation
- Retention periods can grow from weeks through months or years, with scalability of Intransa video surveillance storage from 4 through to over 1,500 terabytes (TBs)
- Grow modularly up to 1,500TB of high performance, RAID-protected, fault-tolerant storage as needs change
Resolution:
- High resolution and high frame rates are required in order to be truly useful for many aspects of quality control and supply chain surveillance systems
- Intransa scalable video surveillance storage allows users to record at the resolution and frame rate you want, without running out of storage
- Support 2CIF, 4CIF, 8CIF, MPEG, etc. as needed with still, motion, full motion, time lapse, pan/tilt/zoom, day/night/infrared digital and analog camera feeds
Reliability:
- Losing any recorded video is a major challenge for quality control and supply chain surveillance systems, since the whole of the video is suspect and perhaps unusable should any frames be lost, unfortunately possible with drive failures in PC, DVR or NVR systems that security vendors say are the major reliability problem for customers
- Legacy IT solutions often cannot handle constant video stream recording as they are not designed with this in mind, resulting in potential system failures and frame loss
- Intransa scalable video surveillance storage is designed from with streaming video workloads in mind, and eliminates the risk of frame loss, disk or system failure
- Use Intransa scalable video surveillance storage offers full RAID support and redundant, proven hardware
Reduce Complexity:
- Eliminate complexity, despite adding multiple video surveillance cameras in order to provide a viable quality control and supply chain monitoring system
- Support five times the number of cameras possible with a stand alone PC, DVR and NVR surveillance system even as additional cameras are added and increase retention, resolution and frame rate
- Run other security or IT applications simultaneously
Pricing:
- Competitive pricing to PC, DVR and NVR storage with higher reliability, scalability and capacity Reduce the number of PCs, DVRs and NVRs for further savings
Green & Efficient:
- Grow modularly, with energy efficient SATA storage (1/2 power use per terabyte of FC & older drives)
- Grow without ever sending your original Intransa security-grade to the landfill
Set and Forget Management:
- Once your integrator installs Intransa scalable video surveillance application, set it and forget it so you manage your security application, not your storage
- Easy, graphical user interface-based manager with automatic email alerts
Standard Solutions:
- Use your favorite video surveillance management software or other security application
- Intransa StorAlliance Technology Lab certifies leading and up-and-coming product vendors
Fast, Continuous Recording Without Fragmentation:
- Expandable IP storage, designed for digital video streaming workloads
- Support 24 hour, 7 day a week, 365 days a year video recording
- Avoid fragmentation problems common to DVRs, NVRs and other storage
Support All Common Standards:
- Scalable Video Surveillance Storage
- Integrate with leading surveillance management, monitoring and video streaming applications for DVR, NVR and PC-based systems
- 2CIF, CIF, QCIF, 4CIF and 8CIF compression and standard graphics file formats JPEG, MPEG, MPEG-1,-2,-4 & BMP
- Multiple real time/time lapse formats
- CCTV still, motion, full motion, time lapse, pan/tilt/zoom day/night/infrared digital and analog camera feeds with multiple FPS and resolution rates
- Extend recording to 365 days and beyond
