Milestone’s video technology is designed for the realities of manufacturing. It gives you real-time visibility of people, equipment and processes, so you can catch issues early, protect quality and keep operations running safely and efficiently.
One product suite for the modern factory
The Milestone tools for the job
Manufacturing environments demand more than traditional video surveillance, so don’t compromise on the system that keeps your factory running and compliant.
Milestone XProtect® video management software (VMS) gives operators real-time visibility across production lines, warehouses, perimeters and loading docks, helping teams respond faster to incidents and keep production running smoothly.
With XProtect VMS, manufacturers can:
- Monitor people, equipment, and processes in real time
- Investigate incidents quickly to reduce production downtime
- Integrate video with access control, sensors, thermal cameras and industrial systems
- Deploy on‑premises or as part of a hybrid architecture with Arcules VSaaS
As your operation grows or changes, XProtect scales with you and protects your investment through an open-platform architecture trusted by manufacturers worldwide.
Milestone BriefCam® video analytics transform raw video into actionable insights that support safety, quality and efficiency on the factory floor. AI-powered analytics helps manufacturers detect risks, identify inefficiencies and uncover patterns impossible to see with manual monitoring.
Manufacturers use BriefCam to:
- Ensure workers meet safety standards, triggering alerts when compliance fails
- Accelerate investigations using fast, intelligent video search
- Find workflow inefficiencies
- Detect anomalies, defects or process deviations in real time
- Aggregate video data, revealing patterns such as which loading docks see the most traffic and where bottlenecks occur
With its AI-driven engine, BriefCam shifts your video from passive surveillance to active operational intelligence.
Milestone Arcules® delivers video surveillance as a service (VSaaS), with no need for servers or maintenance. It’s ideal for distributed factories, remote sites or teams with limited IT resources.
Arcules is designed for manufacturers who want to:
- Deploy cameras quickly
- Access live and recorded video securely from anywhere
- Integrate access control in a single interface
- Roll out quickly to new sites and warehouses
Arcules keeps things simple without locking you in, offering the flexibility and reliability you need as you modernize. And get the freedom to deploy Arcules on its own or pair it with XProtect in a hybrid setup for a flexible path to the cloud.
XProtect Transact links video with barcode scans and other transaction data sources, creating visual documentation for every pallet picked, moved and shipped.
Manufacturers use XProtect Transact to:
- Search for specific transactions and instantly see the corresponding video
- Check that t items are picked, packed and shipped correctly
- Set alerts for flagged transactions and generate detailed reports with video evidence
- Produce reliable visual documentation for audits and compliance checks
Whether inventory numbers don’t match or quality issues appear, XProtect Transact shows you the moment things changed and confirms what happened, so you can move quickly toward a fix.
Manufacturers handle sensitive processes and designs — your video system mustn’t be the weak link. XProtect isn’t.
Its cybersecurity capabilities include:
- Secure authentication and role‑based access control
- Encrypted communication and secure storage
- System redundancy and high availability
- Support for the audit and regulation your teams work with
A secure development lifecycle and built-in redundancy help minimize cyber risk across networked cameras, remote sites and integrated systems. Your teams get safe, reliable access to the footage they need, and your operation stays compliant and protected.
Manufacturers often manage multiple buildings, lines and warehouses. XProtect brings all those locations together in one central hub.
Manufacturers can:
- Manage video systems across multiple plants, warehouses, and production lines from one interface
- View live and recorded video from any connected site
- Respond to issues faster and reduce the burden of managing separate systems
- Standardize user access, security policies and retention rules across sites
- Add cloud flexibility with Arcules — for teams that need remote access or lower maintenance overhead
With centralized oversight, you spend less time switching between systems and more time keeping production on track.
