360º vision of large areas without blind spots
SCATI, manufacturer of intelligent video solutions, completes its video surveillance proposal with the addition of a new line of ThermalScan cameras to protect large geographic areas or areas with irregular or undefined perimeters such as natural land and sea areas, critical infrastructures, etc.
ThermalScan cameras detect, recognize and track an unlimited number of targets (people, ships, vehicles, etc.) automatically, over long distances and in the most adverse weather conditions and in total darkness, providing high-resolution images.
A camera of these characteristics is capable of replacing hundreds of conventional cameras, simplifying and minimizing the installation and maintenance costs of the system.
Thanks to their high image capture speed (360º/2 sec.) and the use of advanced optical image stabilization technology, these cameras cover surfaces of several kilometers in distance without leaving blind spots, which facilitates the continuous monitoring of large distances and also minimizes false alarms due to the high data update frequency.
The range of SCATI ThermalScande cameras depends on the size of the lens or focal length, the resolution or its location. The shorter the focal length, the larger the field of view. The higher the resolution, the sharper the images will be. The fewer obstacles between the camera and the object of interest, the better the chances of capturing it in images.
For this reason, and depending on the distance of the area to be monitored, SCATI offers two ranges of cameras with different optics.
The Mini range of thermal radar cameras is ideal for monitoring areas up to 1.5 km away: perimeter around the airport, prison, etc.
The Periscope Range is most suitable in wide area scenarios such as border and coastal surveillance where the objects of interest are at greater distances.
For the protection of the areas closest to the premises to be protected, the thermal radar cameras can have associated SCATI EYE PTZ Domes, with images already in the visible spectrum, which will automatically position themselves at those points where the intrusion is detected, with the aim of being able to identify the object or person that generated the alert.
These cameras meet the most demanding needs and have multiple applications:
- Border protection: Maintaining territorial integrity, preventing illegal immigration, drug smuggling, etc.
- Ports and Airports: External threat detection, fire detection, etc.
- Coastal and maritime surveillance: infrastructure protection, detection of boardings of docked ships, drug smuggling or attacks.
- Critical infrastructures and utilities: Full 24×7 protection
- Nature reserves: Detection of intruders, poachers, illegal harvesting, fires.

SCATI and Moontech team up to give MRA greater control of its facilities
MRA (Módulos Ribera Alta) ) is a company that belongs to the CEFA group, dedicated to the manufacture of components for the automotive sector. Specifically, its Figueruelas plant manufactures the dashboards for the Seat León, the Corsa and the Volkswagen T-Cross, as well as doors for the new Corsa.
In recent years, MRA has undergone a major industrial transformation with new process lines and an internal logistics automation system using AGVs (Automated Guided Vehicles).
In 2021, they introduced their first autonomous vehicle in order to improve efficiency and optimize their processes. they have 28 autonomous vehicles, continuously monitored and controlled, which, in addition to maximizing efficiency and safety, help them to reduce the percentage of accidents.
The implementation of these robots has been possible thanks to the collaboration of Moontech, a company dedicated to software development and systems integration.
An AGV is an autonomous vehicle capable of pulling from 100 kg to 25 TN. They move along a magnetic circuit that runs along the floor of all the facilities. In this way, autonomous vehicles become a part of the production process, being the way to transport the load from point A to point B in a safe way.
MRA has a traffic controller with software that is responsible for autonomously receiving and sending requests for factory planning.
These autonomous vehicles live in a hostile environment, and that is where we with a commitment to innovation, introduce SCATI video surveillance systems into the process.
Thanks to the integration with the SCATI system, it is possible to determine any incident that occurs in the plant, locating on the main video wall the time of the incident and its location, and visualizing the images in real time.
Video technology is increasingly in demand in the industrial and logistics sector for its multiple applications. The incorporation of analytics in SCATI systems helps in the processes and avoids accidents: Overpassed line or intrusion, abandoned object, detects if a material is misplaced, verification of loading and unloading points of vehicles.
The placement of cameras makes it possible to protect the facilities and their assets, but they also make it possible to detect trouble spots to improve business excellence, are irrefutable proof for the resolution of incidents, prevent problems if critical situations arise, become a training tool for new employees and in this case control autonomous vehicles and the goods they transport.
With the union between SCATI and Moontech, MRA has greater control of its facilities.
“The incorporation of these autonomous vehicles (AGVs) with industrial vision allows MRA to position itself at the forefront of cutting-edge technology in the automotive sector, optimizing the efficiency and safety of its handling processes,” says Felix Oviedo, MRA’s Production Manager.

How to optimise the stock through managing racks by video systems?
Smart management of racks through the sorting out of objects
The stock optimization in the point of sales is one of the main challenges retailing companies.
Thanks to the numerous applications Artificial Intelligence is offering, the implementation of video surveillance systems is increasing in the retailing sector.
Specifically, the incorporation of deeplearning algorithms allows monitoring and managing racks and other points of sales in an automated way through the recognition of objects by video systems.
Automating the restocking and purchasing processes to define the batch, the order point and the appropriate safety stock at any time is a reality that some international chains are implementing to optimise the stock in their point of sales.
Stock optimization is not the only advantage resulting from the sorting out of objects by smart video systems, there are other advantages that increase your business profitability.
Visual merchandising
Through planograms, every product is numbered and represented in a matrix graphically to know their exact position in the racks.
This system verifies the correct position of the products according to the guidelines set by the Head Office and confirms that the racks are tidy.
Thanks to the Sorting out of Objects, keeping the point of sales under control and tidy is easy without having to invest in unnecessary resources.
Efficient management of stocks
With automatic pre-positioning, each camera “scans” up to 3 racks and sends a panoramic image to the server so that algorithms can analyse the present stock of every product.
The person responsible only needs to previously set the safety stock and, if under the set values, it sends an alert for automatic restocking.
Managing a peak of demand, without an apparently known reason, of a specific product becomes an automatic and simpletask and allows increasing prices slightly and immediately and obtaining a higher margin of sale for that product.
Appropriate price strategy
In the large distribution market where margins are so short, each cent counts. Therefore, a good stock optimization is as important as the definition of the price strategy maximising the net profit of every product.
Versatility of the video allows integrating price electronic labels. This system is able to verify appropriate prices at any time and modify them automatically according to the rotation of products, proximity to the expiry date, etc. to promote the demand and reduce waste.
Analysing and processing all this amount of information for decision-making is easy due to the use of Business Intelligence tools. Big Data simplifies, organises and crossmatches the data necessary to have the most suitable response when taking decisions on improvements to provision processes, stock management and price policy to increase your business profitability.
In a sector where Digital Transformation is a fact, having the technology that allows improving the user experience in the traditional sales channel is of outmost importance.
