By industry
Manufacturing
On the production floor, a network pause means the line stops. Processing sits as close to the machine as possible, so decisions are made on site rather than waiting for a reply from a data centre or cloud.
By industry
What can be done
In-line quality inspection
Cameras read product as it passes and flag defects the eye cannot catch at line speed. Results are immediate, with no images shipped off site.
Predictive maintenance
Vibration, temperature, and current data are read continuously to flag the onset of failure before the line halts.
Technical knowledge assistant
Machine manuals, repair procedures, and fault history become one entry point for technicians, including on night shifts when senior staff are not around.
Vision-based workplace safety
Restricted-area breaches and protective equipment compliance are monitored automatically, with footage that stays inside the plant.
Manufacturing
Dell equipment used
- PowerEdge XE7740 or XE7745 for on-site computer vision inference
- PowerEdge R7615 where the plant server room is tight on space
- PowerScale and ObjectScale for camera footage and sensor data
- Dell Pro Precision for the engineering team preparing the models
- PowerSwitch for the fabric between the floor and the server room
Data and compliance note
Camera footage and machine data stay inside the plant. If the link to head office drops, inspection and monitoring keep running.
