Obviously, such huge capacities easily come under the threat of preying eyes since a targeted attack can not only cause fatal harm to people’s life and infrastructure; but can shatter the nation’s economy and environment as well. The security threats to such capacities are encountering range from physical to cyber. For instance, the ransomware attack on Colonial Pipeline in Houston in 2021 brought the entire nation to a standstill.  Similarly minor instances of security and surveillance flaws; especially in industries like Oil and Gas can tell upon several factors all at once. Usually, geographies pose the gravest threat in dealing with security challenges since transportation and allied logistic issues play a vital role in resolving the issue before it looms large.

Such scenarios demand a robust solution that helps, detect and prevent instances that endanger the nation’s security. Preventing accidents & detection of potential threats is vital to such plants and facilities which demands handling of multifarious issues all at one go. Learning from history, several countries across the world are already resorting to AI-powered Video Analytics which is a proven solution to a broad range of security predicaments. While monitoring and responding to alarming situations becomes physically and location-wise challenging, having customized AI-powered analytics ensures non-delayed action. While reducing human errors, Video Analytics comes with an integrated solution where one can use ANPR for capturing license plates of vehicles, managing entry/ exits of heavy vehicles like tankers, identifying vehicle types and categories and tracking down suspicious vehicles. Features like Multi-factor Authentication and Face Recognition can curb intrusion in capacities which witness heavy footfalls every day. Managing employee attendance and ensuring restricted access to security sensitive zones becomes easy with Video Analytics systems which can be easily synced to the facility’s existing security surveillance infrastructure.

Why is AI critical to Oil and Gas?

The edge of Video Analytics can also help a facility achieve an edge above security. Ensuring the safety of employees and workplaces heightens the experience quotient of all. It also features the facility at par with global standards raising its stature as one that is making the best out of the latest, futuristic solutions for security. In short, it is the smartest way to be security-conscious, environmentally responsible and people-centred in your approach.

AllGoVision’s AI-powered Video Analytics is already championing the change by providing highly scalable, cost-effective and all-embracing solutions to several industry verticals all over the world. The solution comes with right blend for high-capacity industries, where real-time monitoring plays a leading role. Having a deep learning based solution on board can address a wide range of security concern like detecting protective gears, preventing slip and falls and spotting spillages which are common in huge oil and gas capacities. Customarily conventional monitoring systems fail to comply with the ‘buzz before bursts’ approach, AllGoVision’s well-straddled solution suite helps address and resolve diverse security issues that eventually lead to protecting the nation’s lifeline.
