Konica Minolta combines in-house video analytics expertise and intelligent MOBOTIX video technology with COPA-DATA's established IoT software platform, Zenon, to create new potential in production workflows.
For several years, Konica Minolta and MOBOTIX have been working on video monitoring of processes and operations in various environments, such as industry and production.
Data collection and structuring
"For regulated process monitoring, it is necessary that all information and events, as well as alarms, are recorded in a structured manner," says Julian Körber, project manager at Konica Minolta.
"In this context, collecting and structuring large amounts of data is necessary to enable targeted intervention in production processes. This is made possible by our solutions with intelligent video analysis."
AI, deep learning, and IP video systems
In the joint solution, Konica Minolta can process real-time information from video surveillance applications
With the support of artificial intelligence and deep learning, intelligent IP video systems from MOBOTIX AG can already detect deviations from standards in industrial production processes. In the joint solution with Austrian automation specialist and software manufacturer COPA-DATA, Konica Minolta can process real-time information from video surveillance applications.
"More and more companies are building on end-to-end data capture and processing without media breaks at the production level. With COPA-DATA, we have a partner that brings great experience in connecting components and systems from different manufacturers and significantly increases the added value through data," explains Julian Körber.
High-end video systems
"Intelligent video technology has long gone beyond pure security applications. With the support of high-end video systems like here in process monitoring and control our customers save money or increase their revenues. The capture and processing of data are increasingly important," says MOBOTIX CEO Thomas Lausten.
“In industry and production, we have already successfully supported numerous companies, as the example of Kuhn Rikon shows, among others.”
Applications
"The simple integration of MOBOTIX video systems into these solutions offers users new possibilities in remote monitoring, live acquisition, and the processing of information through integrated camera intelligence. The combination of technologies provides essential process optimisation in the industrial sectors of food & beverage, automotive or life sciences," said Emilian Axinia, project manager at COPA-DATA.
In recent months, intensive work has been done on the first test runs. Konica Minolta and partner COPA-DATA are increasingly planning to implement joint projects with intelligent MOBOTIX video systems in production and merge data points with video sequences.
