Across a wide range of industrial processes, temperature is an indicator of machine or system health. While rising temperatures can indicate the potential for overheating, lower temperatures can signal a pressure leak. As a result, the ability to effectively monitor system temperature is an important contributor to optimizing operational efficiency. Most seriously, rapidly rising temperature … Continued
Data centers have become an intrinsic part of modern society. Both public and private spheres depend on them to function, be it for local or remote operations, the flow of information and connectivity, digital transformation and improved services, smart cities, intelligence gathering, or data storage purposes. And with the vertical forecast to grow at a … Continued
Electrical substations frequently face challenges from a number of sources. These include vandals, intruders, hazardous weather, and high energy demand periods. On top of this, there’s the difficulty of the substations being unmanned and often remotely located. This makes them harder to protect from intrusion, theft, and sabotage. Substations are vulnerable points in the electricity … Continued
Hazardous areas where flammable material such as gas or dust are liable to an increased risk of explosion are common in settings ranging from petrochemical plants through to food processing factories. Often, it’s essential or beneficial to use electrical equipment in these environments. This includes network cameras to ensure health and safety, security, and operational … Continued
Consultants and specialists designing and implementing surveillance and security solutions for industry and critical infrastructure face unique pressures. The physical protection of such ‘essential entities’ (as regulation increasingly refers to them) is obviously paramount, but today they also face the need to support protection from attacks in the digital realm. In addition, a changing regulatory … Continued
We’ll admit it, the technology industry can be terrible for creating jargon which almost seems designed to confuse rather than bring clarity. In our area of the sector, a question we’re often asked is: “What’s the difference between an explosion-protected camera, an explosion-proof camera and a flame-proof camera?” In truth, the answer is: “Not very … Continued
