CCTV and the Manufacturing Industry have had a long relationship. As technology has turned CCTV camera systems into network accessible management tools that relationship has grown stronger.

Currently CCTV camera systems are being used to monitor plant safety, security, to improve the efficiency of assembly lines, warehousing, and every aspect of the manufacturing process.
  
CCTV systems can also reduce equipment down time by acting as a troubleshooting toll by which equipment and machinery providers can have a remote view of their products during times of equipment failure. One customer told us they routinely give Pan Tilt Zoom camera control to their equipment provider in Italy. With complete control of the Pan Tilt Zoom camera via the web video interface the Italian equipment provider can then see the problem first hand and more effectively work with the local maintenance crew to get the equipment back up and running.

Additionally CCTV camera systems are always a great deterrent to raw materials and tool thefts that have traditionally been a challenge for the manufacturing industry where easy access to expensive and hard to track assets is commonplace.
