Axis Communications and ABB have together developed a solution to
integrate video capabilities into ABB's Industrial IT process control
systems utilizing the Aspect ObjectsTM concept. For Axis this means
an important step further into the growing market for video
monitoring of industrial processes.
Networked video technology is gaining ground in a number of different
fields of application. Based on Axis' market leading position within
networked digital video surveillance and security solutions, the
company is now also established in the growing market for video
monitoring of industrial processes. Through the partner agreement
with ABB and its Process Automations Systems, Axis gains an industry
leading partner bringing Axis' networked video technology to market.
"The integration between Axis network video products and ABB's
process automation system, is an excellent example of the strong
integration capabilities of our Aspect Integrator Platform, the base
for Industrial IT, and of the Axis network video products. The real
time images based on Axis video products give users information that
visually supports the facts and figures provided by the other
Industrial IT applications. With all necessary information at their
hands, system operators can see to real-time business needs, analyze
and control processes directly from central workstations", says Per
Ekström, Alliance Manager, ABB Automation Technology Products AB.
The partner agreement with ABB makes Axis one of the first non-ABB
companies having their products Industrial IT enabled.
