Production Facility Security Challenges:
From regulatory compliance to monitoring employees remotely to quality control, food production security is real challenge. In addition, theft, break-ins, and damage to property doesn't just create loss of inventory, but can also completely shut down operations, causing significant harm. For food producers, controlling access and having eyes on inventory and production lines is a must.
Note: Larger food producters may have independent structures for logistics and delivery that share a use case in common with the companies in our Logistics category if you just want to hone in on those use cases.
Food Production Facilities Operational Challenges:
From safety and compliance to quality control to industrial refrigeration, food production need to keep an eye on the line. But surveillance video isn't the only thing that needs to be monitored live. Manufacturers need to be able to, at a glance, observe both real world video evidence and service level monitoring, production statistics, machine health diagnostics information, or operational sensor outputs.
Don't worry, we've got you covered. If it can be displayed on a computer screen or digital television, we can integrate it.
(An Ignition systems industrial refrigeration integration is shown in image, but we can do this for any application interface).
