Water treatment
Water is a crucial asset, for households and for industries. Network solutions help you keep clean water flowing by enabling you to operate efficiently and predict, prevent, and mitigate on-site disruptions.
More resilient operations
Surveillance of reservoirs and well areas, and maintaining the integrity of your premises are key to keeping operations running with quality and reliability. With Axis, you find solutions that provide protection day and night, in a system engineered to resist efforts to hack or disrupt it. Additionally it can be used to support the health and safety of your staff, which can be especially useful for lone workers. Axis solutions have been successfully employed in numerous water treatment plants around the world – promoting operational reliability and workplace safety.
Strengthening security, operations, and safety
Axis network solutions support uninterrupted operations by helping you maintain oversight and take quick, informed action. Network cameras, thermal technology, access control, audio, and other devices work together with AI-based analytics to enable a proactive approach and smart, streamlined systems in three key areas:
- Security – detect, deter, and respond rapidly to intrusion, theft, and sabotage
- Operational efficiency – increase productivity and minimize downtime
- Health, safety, and environment (HSE) – support compliance, respond rapidly to incidents, and mitigate future risk
Focus areas
Secure sites
Because intrusion, theft, or sabotage at water and wastewater treatment facilities can have such significant consequences for society, resilient sites take a layered approach to security. Our IP-based devices and intelligent analytics enable monitoring the perimeter, warn off suspects, track them inside the site, and protect sensitive assets. At every layer, we help you detect threats earlier, verify them, and react – without wasting resources on false alarms. And to help you guard against cyberattacks, we provide you with advanced technologies and tools, guidance, and a range of products and services that reflect and support best practices.
Examples of use cases
1. Perimeter protection - buffer zone
2. Perimeter protection - fence line
3. Drone detection
4. General surveillance
5. Monitor critical assets
6. Access control
7. Vehicle access control
Improve productivity
Ensuring business continuity isn’t just about the physical and cyber security of your facility. It’s also about improving efficiency and minimizing equipment downtime for a better bottom line and faster recovery from disruptions. Our smart network solutions combine visual oversight, thermal technology, and intelligent analytics to help you monitor processes across an entire facility – or multiple facilities – from a single location. Plus, with the ability to monitor trends, predict problems, and catch them early, you aren’t only reacting. You’re also taking proactive steps to maximize uptime.
Examples of use cases
1. General monitoring
2. Temperature monitoring
3. Visual verification
4. Early fire prevention
5. Leak/spill detection
6. Water level monitoring
7. Corrosion detection
8. Gauge monitoring
9. Keep restricted areas clear
10. Maintenance verification
Protect people
Injuries, incidents, and accidents – from falls to fires to chemical spills – can also disrupt business continuity. Network solutions enable you to know what’s happening even in remote or restricted areas and lone-worker scenarios, so you can prevent and mitigate incidents. Plus, because network devices can communicate with each other and other systems, you can also improve HSE compliance. For example, the access control system simply may not grant access to the chemical dosing area during specific parts of the process. Or the door may remain locked if a nearby analytics-equipped camera detects missing personal protective equipment (PPE).
Examples of use cases
1a. PPE detection (example: hard hats)
1b. PPE detection (example: chemical suits)
2. Early fire prevention
3. Restricted areas and confined spaces
4. Leak/spill detection
5. Man down
6. Blocked exit notification
Cybersecurity - an ongoing concern
Cybersecurity is an ongoing concern for every industry. With digitalization, it’s not only networks and infrastructure that can be compromised – it’s every connected device. Resilience against cyberattacks demands a comprehensive approach that includes the products introduced to your system, your ongoing processes, and the people that use and maintain the system. At Axis, we work hard to make cybersecurity easier for you throughout the device lifecycle. That way, you’re able to focus on the parts of cybersecurity you’re responsible for, including trainings, maintaining and updating the system, and enforcing practices that mitigate risk.
