When you think about IP Cameras in your work environment, what comes to mind?\u00a0 You might think of monitoring safety and security of the facility.\u00a0 That is a completely valid thought.\u00a0 For many facilities that is likely the main reason that cameras were put in to place.<\/p>\n
IP Camera use, especially in the last 5 years, has given way to much more.\u00a0 A new focus in a modern production environment is \u201cincreased visualization\u201d.\u00a0 Increasing visualization can spawn from anything that makes you more productive by way of seeing more information.\u00a0 The use of cameras allows you to have an in-depth feel for an environment, not just a view of the screen at the terminal.<\/p>\n
Strategic placement of cameras in the environment can give you a view of the true environmental condition of that area.\u00a0 It will allow you to see the terminal and line, not just watch\u00a0 what is happening on screen.<\/p>\n
Seeing what is happening in the true environment at a given moment can add great value.\u00a0 Is the operator at their station? Is there a blockage in the production line?\u00a0 These can be easily answered if you have incorporated IP Cameras in the environment.\u00a0 ThinManager makes this a piece of cake.<\/p>\n
Cameras can be connected to your network, plugged straight in to your terminal thin client or set up on a stand alone network.\u00a0 The best set up will depend on a combination of the hardware available to you and the bandwidth at your disposal.<\/p>\n
Once a camera is found on your network, it can be added as an overlay or stand alone display client to any terminal set up in ThinManager.\u00a0 Virtual visibility with IP Cameras in your production environment is a low cost but high reward way to increase visualization, safety and productivity.<\/p>\n
