AI-supported video analysis for building security and safety
In critical situations, every second counts: The solution set for live video analysis for building protection uses artificial intelligence to proactively identify hazards. It combines the powerful control platform ctrlX CORE with integrated AI chip and flexible ctrlX I/O modules. Conventional detection systems are thus supplemented by an additional layer of intelligence – for improved threat detection, to minimize the spread of danger and potentially to save lives.
The solution set for video surveillance with AI is aimed at systems integrators, operators of industrial properties, data centers, public infrastructures, such as train stations and tunnels, as well as safety-critical facilities and critical infrastructures (KRITIS in Germany). A particular advantage of this system is that existing buildings and systems can also be retrofitted quickly and cost-effectively – without interfering with existing security/safety architectures or central fire alarm technology.
Video analysis for building security and safety
Proactive building protection with clever video analysis
With the solution set for video surveillance with AI, Bosch Rexroth is transferring its high standards from industrial automation to the field of building and infrastructure security and safety. A special feature of the solution set is that users can integrate their own AI applications directly in the controller.
At the heart of the system is the integrated HAILO-8 AI accelerator, installed on the industrial control platform ctrlX COREplus X3. It enables high-performance AI inference directly at the edge – where the data is generated. The preconfigured all-in-one solution also combines PoE switches and flexible ctrlX I/O modules.
Users can choose from a variety of connectivity apps such as OPC UA, Modbus or MQTT to reliably activate IT systems such as fire alarm systems, building management systems, building information systems, Alamos and Winguard in the event of an alarm.
The retrofit-compatible, open platform concept enables quick retrofitting into existing buildings, and individual use cases – from early fire detection to vandalism prevention – can be added at any time. The combination of AI-based image recognition, open communication architecture and industry-standard hardware produces a solution that grows with you: new use cases can be easily integrated – be it additional cameras, alarm sensors or HMI components.
