Driving Better Business Outcomes with IoT and Video.

Safety and security are non-negotiable for modern businesses. See how one manufacturer partnered with CDW to integrate video surveillance with the IoT.

Strengthening Physical Security

IP-based video cameras strategically located throughout the plant and its perimeter protect against unauthorized access. Image analytics identify and alert security personnel to visitors and employees, and facial recognition systems flag unknown individuals and biometrically confirm authorized ones.

Mobile access to video streams provides constant situational awareness for security personnel. Should an issue arise, forensics analysis speeds investigation by slashing the time required to audit incident video. Video data is also used to continually evaluate and improve physical security measures throughout the factory as part of the company’s integrated security strategy.

Improving Worker Safety

Motion detection and analytics monitor access and trespass to at-risk or restricted areas, aiding in accident prevention. In the case of safety issues or slip/fall events and accidents, video detection speeds response.

Post-incident, the video record documenting the incident provides essential hindsight and insight. Archived video also makes an excellent instructional tool to educate employees about safety and accident prevention.

Increasing Operational Efficiency

Installing thermal cameras along with vibration sensors and electricity meters provides machine vision that monitors equipment health in real time to detect and predict potentially costly failures – before they occur.

Video cameras are used for continuous process flow monitoring on the production lines to support quality assurance and detect stoppage, jams and defects. Cameras also enable visual inspection of raw materials prior to production and to verify quality, inventory and packing of finished goods for distribution.
