Let's face it, unplanned downtime can be costly and disruptive. While automated systems provide digital feedback, they don’t always tell the full story of what caused the issue. Sometimes, having a visual record of an event is the key to understanding what really happened and how to prevent moving forward. That’s where the Pepperl+Fuchs Industrial Event Camera comes in, offering real-time visibility and advanced data recording to revolutionize automation diagnostics.
The Power of Visual Event Monitoring
The Industrial Event Camera is designed to capture footage before, during, and after a critical event, ensuring that you don’t just get a snapshot—you get the full story. Whether you need to troubleshoot, analyze processes, or enhance workplace safety, this compact, rugged camera provides actionable insights exactly when you need them.
Real-Time Streaming & Event-Based Recording
This camera isn’t just a passive recording device. It offers live video streaming to an HMI or webpage, allowing you to monitor industrial processes in real time. But what truly sets it apart is its internal ring buffer, which records footage up to 60 seconds before and after an event. Triggered by a PLC or an external signal, this feature ensures that every event is fully documented, helping you pinpoint the root cause of any issue.
Versatile Applications for Industrial Automation
The Industrial Event Camera is a game-changer for a wide range of automation applications:
-
Safety Compliance – Pair it with safety curtains or laser scanners to capture footage of unauthorized access during restricted operations. This allows you to analyze what triggered the safety system, ensuring proper functionality and preventing unnecessary shutdowns.
-
Error Detection in Automated Cells – Coordinated industrial processes often experience disruptions due to misaligned components or tool failures. With precise visual feedback, operators can quickly identify and resolve these issues.
-
Preventive Maintenance – Monitor wear and tear on critical components to detect potential failures before they result in costly downtime.
-
Process Optimization – Review event recordings to analyze repetitive motion paths or unexpected deviations, helping you fine-tune automated workflows for better efficiency.
Easy Setup & Seamless Integration
One of the standout features of this camera is its user-friendly interface. Configuration is simple—each camera is assigned an IP address for easy setup and control. Video storage is also flexible, with options for internal SD card storage or external network storage, ensuring seamless retrieval and review of event footage.
