Remember the "buddy system" at summer camp when you went swimming? Industrial video can help provide that buddy system for your operators... virtually.
With Longwatch, you can observe work areas to make sure operators are properly uniformed and that the area is safe. Longwatch video is directed to the operator's HMI, so the people who know what needs to be done can keep an eye on things.
Safety also extends past the operators: to contractors and even to the public. Sending field video back to the control room can inform the operator about field conditions: to make sure areas are clear and secure before energizing equipment or opening gates.
Event-based video clips from Longwatch are sent directly to the HMI as alarm messages, so if an incident does occur, operators get timely video information to help first responders act quickly and correctly.
