Safety Challenges

Manufacturing workers often operate around heavy machinery, chemicals, dust, fumes and other hazards, so security systems need to support safety and liability protection. Behavioral analysis and monitoring of work environments can help catch unsafe practices and conditions early. Monitoring can also help teams investigate process issues.

Dynamic Environments

Assets move around warehouses and manufacturing plants, with many drivers and visitors entering the facility. Inside, components and completed products may move through multiple areas. Careful monitoring helps track visitors, monitor workflows and follow product movement across the facility.

High-Value Environments

Depending on the product being manufactured, factories may store valuable raw materials. Most also contain valuable machinery and components, which can be targets for theft. 

Cyber Threats

Manufacturing is one of the most vulnerable industries for cyberattacks, in part because automation means most factories have many interconnected, digitized systems working together. For manufacturers with connected consumer-facing products such as mobile devices, security may also involve reducing risks across many deployed devices.

Purpose-Built BCD Options

BCD supports security integrators building industrial video surveillance systems. Our validated, tested and integrated systems offer:

  • Compliant appliances: For distributors and security consultants working for manufacturers with government contracts, we have experience with government compliance requirements. We also configure purpose-built appliances compliant with major procurement requirements, such as the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), the Buy American Act (BAA) and the Trade Agreements Act (TAA).
  • Cyber-hardened hardware: With cyber-hardening certification, BCD provides appliances built for secure, reliable performance. We can also configure integrated systems with hardware, software, health monitoring and remote server monitoring.
  • Lifelong support: With 24/7/365 support before, during and after the sale, we provide a true partnership for your projects.

BCD Recommendations 

For consultants and distributors offering manufacturing and warehousing video security solutions, BCD recommends:

Harmonize Bridge

Harmonize Bridge is a low-latency, hybrid cloud storage solution with disaster recovery. Rather than expanding on-premises storage for thousands of cameras, Harmonize Bridge enables off-site archival storage for simpler, more scalable retention.

With connectivity to existing applications and support for legacy workflows, Harmonize Bridge works with public and private cloud platforms. High speed and low latency make this a good fit for high-performance applications, with encryption for any data leaving the network. 

Harsh Environment Servers and Switches

Vibration, dust, heat and moisture can strain surveillance infrastructure in demanding manufacturing environments. BCD harsh-environment servers and switches are designed to operate even in these environments. 

AI-Ready Systems

Scalable AI-ready solutions work with the increased automation in the manufacturing environment. High-resolution video and advanced algorithms can support object, face and threat detection, helping teams respond earlier to potential risks. When integrated with appropriate software, deep machine learning capabilities enable these systems to adapt to specific applications and environmental conditions.
