“Within the first week of installing OnSSI’s video surveillance solution, we caught someone inside the pump station buildings and made an arrest,” said Mark Ashby, supervisor of technology and automation of the RD Offutt Company. “When something happens at the pump stations, it could be disastrous to the farm.”
The new system has also provided benefits beyond security, enabling RD Offutt Company to monitor its business operations, track jobs and to observe remotely if equipment is working properly. “We want to be able to see what happens when we turn a pump on,” Ashby said. “We have cameras in our mechanic shop, and we’re currently putting in cameras to watch young calves in the hospital areas,” he added. “We are now able to monitor the most important areas of our business, which has saved our company thousands of dollars and helps us keep our employees safe.”
