  • An industry-leading video monitoring system, SmartAdvisor® Process Monitoring finds defects and upsets across the process, from root cause to failure.

    Single-screen analysis from several cameras reduces the troubleshooting time, which means the causes of process problems can be detected more quickly. Corrective action can therefore be taken rapidly, reducing waste.

    SmartAdvisor Process Monitoring captures high-resolution images from multiple cameras along a production line or web process. It provides video software tools to troubleshoot issues, analyze problems and enable immediate action to be taken.

    Delivering video-based process monitoring to manufacturers worldwide, SmartAdvisor is used across a range of industries, including paper, aluminum, copper, steel, plastics, and nonwovens.

    MULTIVIEW ACROSS THE PROCESS

    The convenient display allows the operator to view image feeds from several cameras at the same time, on one screen. This enables safe monitoring across many process locations, without the risk of missing something while switching between views.
