In the mining industry, security is paramount. From preventing losses during the mining process to ensuring safety at work, advanced video surveillance technology plays a crucial role. Dallmeier, a leader in video security solutions, introduces innovative approaches tailored specifically for the mining sector. Let’s explore how Dallmeier’s multifocal-sensor technology is reshaping security standards in mining environments.
Fewer cameras, less infrastructure, more security
Dallmeier’s patented Panomera® technology is a game-changer in the realm of industrial security. By combining multiple lenses and sensors with varying focal lengths into a single optical unit, Panomera® cameras capture rear, middle, and foreground image areas with uniform high resolution. This technology offers several key advantages.
Cost-effective coverage
Panomera® acts as a virtual combination of numerous PTZ (pan-tilt-zoom) cameras and megapixel cameras, covering extensive areas or long distances with a fraction of the cameras typically required. This results in cost savings, increased efficiency, and enhanced security.
Data-driven insights
The unique way of capturing the entire object-space at a very homogeneous, high resolution enables a very precise image quality. And as with image-based analytics, the quality of the image data equals the quality of the input data for analytics. Therefore, Panomera® excels in video analytics, providing actionable insights for various mining related applications such as monitoring production processes, safety compliance, or perimeter security.
Made in Germany for cybersecurity and quality
Dallmeier develops and manufactures Panomera® entirely at its Regensburg headquarters, ensuring the highest standards in cybersecurity and data protection. Premium components and materials guarantee longevity and energy efficiency beyond standard usage cycles.
Applications in mining perimeter and area protection
Panomera® secures extensive mining sites and long perimeters, ensuring forensic usability for analysis applications and minimizing false alarms with AI-based object classification. This, combined with the unique capability of Panomera® to secure long distances and wide areas with a fraction of camera units compared to conventional solutions, provides mining corporations with an unmatched cost / security ratio.
User requirements come first
Often, mining corporations have a video management system of choice. Panomera® systems seamlessly integrate with third-party video management or PSIM systems such as Milestone or Genetec, adapting to both existing infrastructure upgrades and new solution implementations. For mining corporations evaluating complete solutions, the Dallmeier software offering around its SeMSy® and Hemisphere® software suites provide state of the art video and security management capabilities.
The Red Zone: high-stakes security
Within mines, the most critical area is the “red zone”, where mined material is sorted. Dallmeier’s high-resolution IP cameras, including the Panomera® system, provide detailed surveillance essential for preventing losses and ensuring safety. These cameras deliver unmatched quality and reliability, even in challenging lighting conditions.
Securing every corner
From Green to Red Zones Dallmeier offers tailored solutions for various mining areas:
- Search lanes: High-resolution cameras monitor search lanes, ensuring compliance with access regulations and curbing losses through detailed surveillance.
- Process monitoring: Video systems monitor hazardous refinery processes, including furnaces and conveyor belts, ensuring operational safety and efficiency.
- Mining perimeters: Dallmeier products seamlessly integrate with intrusion detection systems, effectively monitoring perimeter fences and enhancing security measures.
EU-GDPR and NDAA compliant
Even though not applicable in many mining countries, more and more end-users consider EU-GDPR and NDAA as quality marks for a maximum in cybersecurity measures and privacy capabilities. Dallmeier’s video security technology is compliant to both, providing utmost protection against industrial espionage, other cybersecurity threats and privacy concerns.
Protecting resources and enabling growth
Dallmeier’s multifocal-sensor technology, rooted in German engineering excellence, redefines security standards in the mining industry. From cost-effective coverage to data-rich insights, Panomera® in particular sets a new benchmark for safety, efficiency, and peace of mind in mining operations worldwide. As the industry evolves, Dallmeier remains committed to pioneering innovations that safeguard valuable resources and ensure sustainable growth.
