The team at BECC GmbH has many years of experience in SCADA programming with the product WinCC Open Architecture.
Customer Situation / Objectives   The existing video management system in the area unit had reached its operational life span and needed to be renewed. For this purpose, it was important that all functions remain in place or be optimized for the operator.
The following requirements are covered: 

• Monitoring and operation of up to 1000 cameras 
• Possibility to implement up to 200 decoders in the system  
• Switching of a camera stream to any decoder  
• Automatic event switching on the video wall in configurable control centers  
• Manual camera feeds for traffic monitoring  
• Accessible via a web browser

The task was to replace the old video management system while at the same time reducing costs and increasing efficiency. In addition, it was important to rely on easy integration of further components. The HMI and camera activation times should also be improved. Further, accessibility of the application via web was another requirement.

The implementation was done via the system software WinCC Open Architecture (WinCC OA 3.18) and meets all the customer requirements. Required interfaces could be covered with the product's standard tools. 
The most important facts of the reference include the implementation of more than 450 cameras and more than 80 decoders divided between five control centers with automatic event switching. 
The application is responsible for monitoring traffic safety for the entire GEXI area unit on the A2 motorway between the Beckried junction and on the A4 between the Küssnacht am Rigi junction and the south portal of the Gotthard road tunnel in Airolo. Depending on the event, the system automatically activates cameras in the control centers. Furthermore, camera programs can be switched to the video wall for additional surveillance.
