Video analytics is a key strategic tool for the manufacturing sector. CCTV systems integrated with artificial intelligence analyse camera footage, providing insights that can boost productivity, ensure personnel safety and bolster company security. Operating autonomously, these systems reduce the need for human intervention, significantly enhancing the return on investment in existing CCTV infrastructure.
In high-stakes environments where every second matters, LAVA’s advanced video analytics algorithms (our proprietary video analytics solution) facilitate real-time risk detection and optimise operational performance. Investing in these technologies results in more cost-effective and efficient systems, aligning with the objectives of Industry 4.0..
Enhanced Security: The New Standard in Perimeter Control
In industrial settings, securing perimeter areas and restricted zones is vital to prevent unauthorised access, theft or incidents that could compromise facility security.
- Intrusion and Perimeter Detection with LAVA Behaviour: Detects line crossings, loitering and the presence of individuals or vehicles in restricted areas. In addition, it recognises number plates to manage vehicle access securely.
- Early Fire Detection with LAVA Fire: Identifies the presence of smoke or fire before traditional alarm systems are activated, enabling faster and more effective responses. This system is crucial in environments where flammable products are handled.
- Protection Against Tampering with LAVA Tamper: Alerts to attempts at camera manipulation or obstruction, ensuring recordings remain available and any sabotage attempts are promptly detected and reported.
Furthermore, the Lanaccess Suite VMS enables centralised management and viewing of all recordings, both on-premises and via the cloud.
Protection and Incident Prevention
Video analytics allows for the automation of safety protocol supervision and the reduction of workplace risks.
- Identification of Appropriate Equipment with LAVA Cover: Validates in real-time whether personnel are wearing the correct protective gear, such as helmets, masks or reflective vests. It also allows for rule combinations to ensure operators comply with safety standards in critical areas, preventing accidents and penalties.
- Theft Detection with LAVA Theft: Detects when an item previously visible in a designated area has been removed or is no longer present. This system is particularly useful in warehouses, production areas or loading and unloading zones where goods and valuable assets require protection.
- Open Door Detection.
Intelligent Productivity Management
Intelligent analytics detects blockages, unexpected stoppages or stalled products that can halt an entire production line. In addition, prolonged absence of personnel in critical areas can lead to accidents or interruptions.
- Conveyor Belt Monitoring with LAVA Flow: Analyses the movement and direction of products on conveyor belts, as well as individuals, vehicles and objects within a designated space.
- Detection of Personnel Absence (with LAVA Behaviour).
Reflections
Advanced AI-driven video analytics not only enhance security but also act as strategic tools for optimising industrial processes. Solutions like LAVA allow companies to adapt to the demands of Industry 4.0 without replacing existing CCTV infrastructure, providing improved operational efficiency, personnel protection and real-time asset control.
