BRS Labs is an artificial intelligence company that developed AISight, an intelligent video surveillance solution that uses behavioral recognition to analyze video and sensor data in real-time. AISight can monitor large, complex facilities and assets without limits to detect unexpected behavior. It scales to monitor thousands of sensors without rules or custom programming by teaching itself what is normal and relevant for each environment over time. AISight transforms safety, security and operations by providing early detection of issues across multiple sites.

7. Challenges
•Large numbers of geographically dispersed facilities
•Camera coverage for safety and security
•Impossible to monitor using “feet on the street” or staff watching monitors
•Too much territory, too many cameras, too much footage for real-time situational awareness and response
•Unpredictable and unexpected events are the most dangerous
Proprietary and Confidential - All Rights Reserved
•Today’s SCADA environments are simply too large to monitor as a whole (growing tag counts)
•Too much data for accurate, manual correlation and trend analysis
•Operators with experience on the plants cannot be replaced (operator intuition)
•It’s often too late when a field sensor triggers a high/low alarm set point

8. The Failure of Analytics
•Limited Visibility (data granularity)
•No Scalability (deployment time)

•Performance Deterioration
•Constant Maintenance

18. SCADA Today
•Today, asset health monitoring is often comprised of fixed alarm limits manually defined within control systems, smart devices, SCADA, or historians.
•Complicated and ever-changing rule sets combined with manual trend analysis and experienced operator intuition is not sufficient in today’s environment.
–Does not scale
–Cannot effectively monitor plant operations
–Prone to miss subtle precursors to failure
–Cannot see the entire picture (sensor correlation)
•The cost of a reactive position is only effective when things are running as normal.
