Sido Muncul is an Indonesian producer of Jamu (an herbal health drink) and other health products. From the humble beginnings of a small household business in 1940, Sido Muncul has grown to become a provider of herbal health products.
Sido Muncul’s factory occupies a 34 hectare plot of land in Klepu, Semarang, in Central Java, and includes seven separate laboratories. Further, Sido Muncul’s production process exceeds the Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) guidelines. Sido Muncul also pays great attention to product safety and keeps strict records of the production process to maintain process uniformity and ensure products of a consistent quality.
Within this context of high demands on the safety and security of the production process, Sido Muncul decided that its old analogue CCTV monitoring was no longer offering high enough quality coverage and lacked infra-red. Further, its old PC recording and viewing system was unreliable – often crashing or randomly going offline. A new video management system was also needed. In short, the business had outgrown its previous surveillance system.
A total of 200 VIVOTEK cameras were installed across Sido Muncul’s largest plant. The coverage, IR capability, and smooth operation of VIVOTEK cameras in all conditions ensured that the production process could be monitored, losses prevented, and human resources managed effectively. Further, some cameras were used to monitor any waste from the production process. VIVOTEK also supplied a new video management system.
For the warehouse and factory, 150 VIVOTEK IP8332 Day and Night Network Bullet cameras were chosen. With a 1-megapixel sensor enabling viewing resolution of 1280×800 at a smooth 30 fps, the IP8332 is an all-in-one camera capable of capturing high resolution video. It can adapt to any lighting as it features a removable IR-cut filter as well as IR illuminators effective up to 15m for images around the clock.
For office spaces, IR capability was desired by the Sido Muncul, hence the FD8134 fixed dome network cameras was fitted, with a 1-megapixel sensor enabling viewing resolution of 1280×800 at 30 frames per second.
For outdoors, IP8362 2MP Full HD Network Bullet Cameras and IP7361 Day and Night Network Bullet Cameras provided coverage of the 34 hectare grounds. The WDR feature of the IP8362 ensures images in all light conditions, and its IR illuminators and IR-cut filter mean that this image quality is provided day and night. Both cameras feature rugged housing designed to protect the integrity of the surveillance system from the environment and any attempts at tampering.
