Manufacturers are under pressure to reduce costs, improve productivity, maintain quality and strengthen safety. To understand how the industry is responding, Axis Communications commissioned independent research involving 600 manufacturers across the UK, spanning smart manufacturing, pharmaceutical, and food & beverage. Hear Axis experts discuss the findings and explore how IP cameras are helping improve operational visibility.
Manufacturers are already rethinking the role of connected video
The findings from In focus: a spotlight on manufacturing by Axis show a clear shift in thinking. While connected video technologies remain essential for protecting people, sites and assets, manufacturers increasingly see their value extending beyond security. A strategic shift will take place in the next 3-5 years, whereby connected video technologies will increasingly support operational efficiency, improve visibility and enable better-informed decisions.
Connected video systems have long played a critical role in protecting manufacturing environments and supporting incident investigation. Increasingly, manufacturers are recognising that the same infrastructure can also support wider operational goals. By combining visual data with operational systems, organisations can gain better visibility, providing the real-world context needed to make clearer, faster and more confident decisions.
