AI Monitors Without Distraction, Using SingTown Technology OpenMV to Achieve Real-Time Recognition and Alerts on Surveillance Interfaces

In factory automation monitoring environments, production equipment status is typically displayed on monitoring interfaces such as PLC or DCS screens. When equipment status changes from "Running" to "Stopped" or an alarm occurs, if the site is unattended or the monitoring operator is inattentive, it can easily lead to production delays or safety risks.

To this end, industrial automation system manufacturers utilize SingTown's OpenMV intelligent camera to construct a state monitoring system based on machine vision and image recognition. This system performs real-time detection of status areas on screens (such as colour changes and text variations) and automatically issues alert signals or alarms when abnormal conditions are detected.

Industrial automation manufacturers have developed a screen status recognition system based on the OpenMV smart camera, utilizing AI image recognition, colour analysis, and OCR text detection technologies to achieve dynamic monitoring of industrial control interfaces. The camera is fixed in front of the display screen, capturing real-time images of designated status areas, such as text or colour blocks indicating "Running," "Stopped," "Alarm," and others.

The system utilizes colour recognition algorithms to monitor RGB changes in specific screen areas and combines OCR algorithms to identify textual content variations. Upon detecting red alert blocks or text changes to "Stop" or "Abnormal," the system immediately outputs a high-level signal to the host computer or buzzer, triggering audible and visual alarms.

The system supports simultaneous monitoring across multiple regions (configurable with multiple detection zones), enabling independent deployment without modifying existing surveillance systems. It provides independent visual detection and safety alerts for status changes.

This solution offers the unique advantage of edge deployment: no communication with PLC required, easy installation, strong compatibility, and broad applicability in scenarios such as factory automation control rooms, equipment condition monitoring stations, and unattended production lines.
