Capture in the application of video technologies to the industry and manufacturing sector

The main objective of this project is to train participants in the application of video streaming technologies, widely used and mature in sectors such as broadcasting and content distribution, to the industrial, manufacturing, and advanced manufacturing sectors. This requires understanding the specific characteristics of this environment, including the operational and quality parameters required to meet the quality criteria of industrial settings. New video streaming solutions must adapt their architectures and protocols to suit the environment of an industrial plant. This has significant implications for the hardware component, with embedded systems where energy consumption and reliability take precedence over performance. While it is true that systems are deployed in advanced manufacturing environments for video monitoring of production processes or remote assessment of the situation in a specific area of ​​the plant, the reality is that a specific design and deployment tailored to each plant is frequently carried out using traditional content distribution technologies. These approaches disregard the capabilities of new technologies to adapt to the paradigm of mobility, device heterogeneity, and changing connectivity environments. The results of M4I (Media 4 Industry) will materialize in the evolution of the video stream management SDK, ready to respond to the integration paradigm with personnel, operators, technicians, and supervisors in an industrial operation that allows for monitoring and analysis of the production environment, machines, lines, and cells that are part of the industrial plant.
