Today, automation in manufacturing denotes that each task allocated to a robot or machine in the process pipeline. All these tasks should repeat at specific intervals.

A stamping device, for instance, in the process pipeline should handle the process of stamping on a daily basis. Also, the product should pass underneath it at the precise moment of stamping. The timing requirements and process flow of other processes both affect how long the interval will be.

Defining Video Analytics

IP cameras and network CCTV transmit video signals that are analyzed using video analytics in a variety of contexts. When processing and refining raw videos, an advanced AI analytical algorithm concentrates on specific features to get insights that can be put to use. An examination of a video consists of:

·    Face recognition

·    Image recognition

·    Crowd detection

·    Geofencing violation detection

·    Hazard or fire detection

·    Object detection

·    Detecting temperature

·    Object counting

Industry Role of Video Analytics

The industry will heavily rely on video analytics to automate production with minimal human oversight. Humans can, however, keep an eye on and manage the procedure from any place. This will be made possible even more quickly and precisely thanks to cloud services,  5G support, and IoT.

Video Analytics can do these fundamental tasks:

24X7 Employee Tracking

If the technology is only useful for tracking objects and products, automation is not possible. It is essential to track employees. Visual analytics can be used to track employees beyond simple attendance tracking that many businesses already provide.

Employee location, identity, and activity are tracked using face recognition and geofencing. Employees or a group of employees may also be prevented from going into a secured area that is dangerous.

See Errors Beyond Human Eyes

Visual analytics can track the process and notify users of any errors using face recognition, object detection, image recognition, and temperature monitoring.

Supervisors may receive notifications when a product falls off a conveyor, a dirty mop is found on the floor of a food production facility, a machine’s temperature rises, etc.

Monitor Production Cycles with Greater Accuracy

The production can be sped up precisely using any closed automatic solution that is monitored and adjusted using information generated from a video analytic solution.

One camera must support numerous use cases in order to guarantee higher speed and accuracy. The most recent IP cameras are capable of doing it. Each product produced will be flawless and of the highest quality thanks to well-maintained equipment and closely watched production processes. Technology will at last actually benefit people.
