相机已成为一种廉价的观看世界的方式，现在它们被引入人机界面/监管控制和数据获取（HMI/SCADA）。“Most HMI solutions only provide a partial view of what’s happening across the entire process,” says Craig Resnick, research director of ARC Advisory Group Inc., in Dedham, Mass. “Manufacturers have always needed a powerful, synchronized visual overview of their process.” Resnick points to Longwatch Inc., of Norwood, Mass., as a company that has been able to transmit video over existing HMI/SCADA networks.
Resnick指出，Longwatch将分布式系统体系结构与摄像机和数据管理相结合，以进行质量监视和过程验证以及故障排除和监视。“他们本质上创建了一个视频MES（制造执行系统）平台。”
Longwatch was launched in 2004 by a team of engineers with years of HMI background. “I grew up in the HMI marketplace,” says Steve Rubin, president and chief executive officer of Longwatch. “A lot of us were involved in HMI and distributed systems. This video is the next generation of HMI in factory automation.”
该技术提供了三个主要功能。操作员的控制台录音机提供了HMI/SCADA显示器的自动记录。另一个工具集成了视频，以满足合规性和安全需求。视频历史学家将视频与各种工厂自动化数据联系起来。
The video systems are currently deployed in a variety of settings, from metals manufacturing to energy and utilities and building-products manufacturing. At a metals processing company that produces exotic metals for an aerospace supplier, a video system is used to monitor a specialized forge press that shapes metal crystals prior to machining. The process takes a week. If the operator doesn’t mount the mold correctly, the forge will be damaged, resulting in costly downtime.
The video is used to review the mounting process so the operator can associate the ingot mold identification with particular cameras and points in time by clicking the SQL database messages in the video historian’s process tab, which provides immediate access to the right video for review and analysis.
