Longwatch

Security and Safety Overview

Longwatch's mission is to enable widespread plant video to be integrated into existing SCADA and HMI systems to improve safety, security and productivity. Integrated on-line video can enhance the information that is being collected from the various sensors in the plant.

The benefits are better decisions and better action by operators and first responders and better compliance with security and safety regulations.

Longwatch video solutions help security in:

• Water production
• Electric transmission and distribution
• Chemical processing

Eliminating the Blind Spots

Security and safety depend on having complete coverage; a "blind spot" can become an area of exploited weakness.

Longwatch has the only system capable of bringing video directly from the farthest reaches of your operations back to the control room. Because it offers the best network flexibility in the industry, your infrastructure investment is leveraged from the past, and protected for the future.

The Longwatch system capabilities are designed specifically for industrial applications:

• Open architecture enabling a broad variety of cameras and networks
• Distributed system architecture delivers system scalability and availability
• Event-based and streaming video for quick notification and operating flexibility
• And much more

Productivity Overview

The goals for industrial productivity improvements can be put into three categories. The projects in each of these categories have led to the growth of data historian and manufacturing execution system (MES) applications:

Until now, we could only use sensed data to support decision-making, analysis and process improvement.

Longwatch brings MES applications into the 21st century with by adding the efficiency and speed of integrated video. By actually seeing what's happening, and what happened, the information in your automation system is given a new and enhanced context. The results are faster and better decisions, which yield higher productivity.

The Longwatch Video Historian represents a breakthrough in automatically linking plant video with your productivity software databases.
