NVT Phybridge

Hirotec, a well-known name in the automotive industry, provides automotive manufacturers with automotive closures, exhaust systems, and other manufacturing equipment. The organisation wanted to replace its outdated analogue surveillance system at its busiest manufacturing plant in Mexico to improve monitoring with high-quality images. Hirotec wanted IP cameras throughout the entire facility, with several locations well beyond the 330ft (100m) reach capability of standard switches. Concerned with the project’s potential complexity and business disruption, Hirotec needed an innovative solution to achieve its digital transformation objectives within its established budget and timelines. Digital transformation project Having used NVT Phybridge networking solutions in the past, Grupo SITE recommended the FLEX Power over Ethernet switch. The NVT Phybridge FLEX long-reach PoE switch delivers Ethernet and PoE++ over any new or existing multi-pair UTP infrastructure with up to 2,000ft (610m) reach, six times farther than standard switches. The reseller performed a thorough demonstration at the customer’s site. In just a few simple setup steps, the NVT Phybridge FLEX PoE switch delivered reliable power and data to IP cameras 2,000ft away, creating a secure and robust PoE backbone for the new IP surveillance system. Hirotec was impressed with the results and decided to move forward with the digital transformation project. Additional server closets NVT Phybridge long-reach PoE switches helped the customer accelerate its digital transformation Grupo SITE used NVT Phybridge long-reach PoE switches to enable IP cameras throughout the entire Hirotec manufacturing facility, without the cost of additional server closets or repeaters. Grupo SITE was able to accelerate the digital transformation project for the customer while significantly reducing business disruption and network downtime during deployment. “I thought that data and PoE over 90 meters would not be possible,” said Carlos Flores, IT Manager at Hirotec. “NVT Phybridge made it all possible! We now have a modern video surveillance system centralised in the MDF, which did not require an IDF in production!” NVT Phybridge long-reach PoE switches helped the customer accelerate its digital transformation while reducing total infrastructure costs by an estimated 50%. Existing network equipment The customer was extremely satisfied with the ease of ongoing management, compatibility with the existing network equipment, and performance of the FLEX switches. Hirotec now enjoys the benefits of IP surveillance, including improved monitoring and image quality. Grupo SITE used NVT Phybridge FLEX switches to achieve incredible results for the customer. Reduced deployment time by one-third. Eliminated business disruption by deploying on evenings and weekends. Reduced infrastructure costs by 50% by eliminating the need for additional server closets and repeaters. Gained the benefits of IP surveillance, including the real-time monitoring and recording of high-resolution video.

BASF, a pioneer in petrochemical manufacturing with multiple European sites, needed to upgrade its outdated analogue CCTV system at one of its massive German sites, housing over 2,000 buildings and 200 production sites. The customer wanted to deploy a TecTradeSolution IP surveillance solution to improve site monitoring and gain the ability to detect process anomalies throughout its production facilities and depots. Major crosstalk issues The company wanted to upgrade to IP surveillance but faced infrastructure challenges, as the old analogue solution was running on J-Y(ST)Y cabling. BASF needed a solution that could leverage its existing cabling to align with the organisation’s sustainability initiatives. An alternative PoE switch was used, which led to major crosstalk issues. This had to be replaced by a more robust network solution. BASF agreed to engage in a no-obligation proof-of-concept to test the technology in its environment The reseller partner, TecTradeSolution, was aware of NVT Phybridge long-reach PoE switches and proposed the use of FLEX8 PoE switches and FLEX adapters for the IP upgrade. The NVT Phybridge FLEX8 Power over Ethernet switch delivers Ethernet and PoE++ over any new or existing multi-pair UTP infrastructure with up to 2,000ft (610m) reach. BASF agreed to engage in a no-obligation proof-of-concept to test the technology in its environment. IP surveillance system After a few simple setup steps, the NVT Phybridge FLEX8 long reach PoE switch transformed the customer’s existing cabling infrastructure into a robust and secure network for the new IP surveillance system, while eliminating the crosstalk issues. BASF used the NVT Phybridge FLEX8 PoE switch to enable the new, high-resolution TecTradeSolution IP surveillance cameras for a seamless and highly secure deployment. The solution’s long-reach capabilities eliminated the need for additional IDF closets and solved the crosstalk issues the customer was initially facing while attempting to use an alternative solution. “Deployment using the NVT Phybridge FLEX8 switch was extremely easy, even at our longest distances,” said BASF. “There was no need for special training for the onsite assemblers and the product was quite literally a plug-and-play solution.” Detecting process anomalies TecTradeSolution was able to help the customer save both time and money TecTradeSolution was able to help the customer save both time and money while providing an innovative solution to solve the customer’s unique problems. The customer now enjoys the benefits of IP surveillance cameras, including improved monitoring, image quality, and the ability to detect process anomalies. BASF was extremely pleased with the results of the IP upgrade, having used the NVT Phybridge FLEX8 switch to: Eliminate crosstalk issues caused by a competitor’s networking. Use its existing network infrastructure to minimise operational disruption at the busy. Reduce infrastructure costs while significantly reducing project deployment. Create a highly secure and physically separate network for the new IP surveillance. Achieve its goals of sustainability by minimising cabling e-waste.

NVT Phybridge., a global pioneer in long-reach PoE solutions, announced that its CLEER24-10G switch was awarded a Platinum 2022 Govies Award from Security Today. Security Today is a security products magazine, e-newsletter, and website for security dealers, integrators, and end-users. The Govies Award, presented by Security Today and GovSec, recognises outstanding government security products in various categories, including features, innovation, user-friendliness, interoperability, quality, design, market opportunity, technical advances, scalability, and impact on the security industry. An independent panel of judges from the security industry selected the top entries. Power over Ethernet solutions I am proud of our teams to develop, market, and support Power over Ethernet solutions to public, and private sectors" “We are honoured to be a Platinum winner in the Network Support Solutions category for this year’s Govies,” said Richard Kasslack, Vice President of Sales and Corporate Development at NVT Phybridge. “I am extremely proud of the efforts of our teams to develop, market, and support industry-leading Power over Ethernet solutions to our public and private sector customers.
