“We have already performed a number of remote
inspections with customers and to date the
reactions have been very positive about the
setup and how we can offer this remotely. This is
therefore indirectly a big compliment for the
system RDJ AV has supplied.”

Connecting with customers in new ways
Emerson Automation Solutions is a leading provider of products and solutions for a wide range of industrial and commercial applications. As a manufacturer of flow-metering systems, Emerson conducts calibration and testing of these devices prior to shipping from its facility in Ede, central Netherlands to customers worldwide.
Meter calibration and inspection has traditionally been performed with the customer physically present to observe and validate the process. However, due to the challenges of the coronavirus pandemic, Emerson has developed a remote-inspection service that allows customers around the world to see the product being calibrated in real time.
Showing every detail of the inspection process with 4K clarity
The innovative solution introduced by Emerson makes use of Sony SRG Series remote PTZ (Pan Tilt Zoom) cameras, allowing flow-meter customers to observe details of the calibration process and give approval from their own location.
Live video streams from the cameras are monitored by Emerson personnel, who can use a touch-screen controller to zoom in as needed to see close-up details with razor-sharp clarity. Images are then streamed to customers around the world via live videoconferencing link, with an Emerson representative giving an explanation of the calibration process.
The remote solution has helped Emerson overcome the challenges of product inspection during the coronavirus crisis. As well as reducing the need for face-to-face contact, it has also saved hours of travel time and associated costs for its customers.
