Integration of live video display and process values on a single screen allows operators a complete view of the process area.wireless streaming video DeltaV.
Emerson Process Management has further developed Smart Wireless solutions by integrating video streams from Industrial Video & Control Co.’s (IVC) Relay Server with the DeltaV™ digital automation system. For process manufacturers, the benefits of having a live video feed embedded within the DeltaV Operate display are many and include:
Safety: Allows operators to remotely monitor hazardous areas, and enables an additional “all-clear” visual before the execution of a process start-up, shut-down, or turn-around.
Security: Additional eyes on the process area, remote plant areas, or site perimeter.
Productivity: Live visual of the process being controlled alongside the process measurements.
Emissions monitoring: With video monitoring for plant emissions, exact start and stop times for excursions can be identified so reporting to regulatory agencies is more accurate.
Video surveillance is becoming an indispensible part of process plant safety, security and operations. Using wireless technology, mission-critical video feeds can now be delivered to the control room, office buildings and other areas in the plant in a highly flexible way that is not possible with a wired solution. Live video feeds can augment the operator’s control of volatile processes.
