One of the largest pharmaceutical manufacturers in Africa relies on CathexisVision for video monitoring and control room management. This manufacturer has more than 25 facilities spread over 17 sites, all of which comply with stringent global regulatory standards. Cathexis, with its excellent reputation for implementing video monitoring solutions at key manufacturing and
industrial locations, and ensuring a high degree of quality control and safety, provided a fully integrated real-time monitoring and management solution to four pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities.

These sites have a combined manufacturing capability of 13 billion tablets and 140 million packed units. The security solution had to accommodate over 620 IP cameras with multi-site control room infrastructure, full integration with third-party systems, and video analytics. This installation required an effective security and video monitoring management with an advanced control room environment. CathexisVision was required to manage restricted employee and visitor areas, and the free flow of people traffic from critical entry and exit points. This application also required flexibility and scalability to accommodate facility expansion
