How Pacefactory Works
From Cameras to Insights in 3 Simple Steps
Pacefactory is designed to plug into your existing systems. No need for new hardware or complex integrations. You’ll be up and running in days with this simple setup:
Step 1
Connect
Pacefactory integrates seamlessly with the CCTV infrastructure you already have. Whether it's an IP camera or an analog system with DVR/NVR, we plug into your video feeds with zero disruption to production.
Step 2
Analyze
Our proprietary AI processes your video feeds in real-time — frame by frame — detecting thousands of micro-interactions across people, machines, and products.
Step 3
Decide
Once data is collected and analyzed, Pacefactory surfaces the insights that matter most, not raw footage, but operational intelligence.
AI Video Analytics that Sees Everything and Understands What Matters.
Pacefactory doesn’t just watch. It decodes what’s happening across your operations by analyzing video frames 24/7 and correlating them with contextual signals. Everything we track maps back to one of three critical pillars:
Efficiency
Uncover hidden slowdowns before they become lost output.
We Track:
- Line Flow & Stoppages
- Buffer Behavior
- Labor Utilization
- Changeover Efficiency
- Operational Variance
- Bottleneck Formation
Safety
Proactively spot risk before it leads to injury or downtime.
We Track:
- PPE Compliance
- Unsafe Behaviors
- Access Violations
- Proximity & Interaction Risk
- Near Misses & Repeat Incidents
- Ergonomics
Quality
Spot deviations from standard procedures - before defective product reaches a customer.
We Track:
- Part Identification
- Process Deviations
- Inspection Compliance
- Task Sequence Accuracy
- Operational Variance
- Bottleneck Formation
62%
Fewer Near Misses
End-to-end visibility into flow disruptions, staffing inefficiencies, and shifting bottlenecks — across every line, shift, and product run.
+3.5%
OEE Improvement
Fewer incidents, improved compliance, better worker protection with traceable video evidence.
28%
Fewer Defects
More consistent output, fewer reworks, and stronger audit readiness.
Every Tracked Event Is:
Timestamped
Tied to a specific time, location, and operator
Searchable
Searchable across days, shifts, or lines
Actionable
Backed by video footage for training or audits
Integrations & Compatibility
Pacefactory is designed to work with your existing infrastructure — no need for rip-and-replace.
Hardware
Camera Compatibility
Pacefactory works with most of the existing IP or analog cameras via RTSP streaming. To get started, simply provide:
- Manufacturer name
- IP & MAC address
- RTSP stream URL
- Username & password
- Secondary/third stream setup (recommended: 640x360P @ 20fps, codec: H.264)
Note: The main stream should remain reserved for your existing operations. If no substream exists, we help configure one.
Local Server Requirements
We support on-premise or rental server deployments.
Minimum specs:
- OS: Ubuntu 20.04
- CPU: 6-core, 3.0+ GHz
- RAM: 16GB DDR 2400MHz
- Storage: 1TB SSD (for application & database)
- Network: Dual NIC card, 10 Gbps
- GPU (Optional): Nvidia GTX 10** series or newer with 6GB+ VRAM
These specs ensure optimal real-time video processing and model inference.
Remote Access Options
We securely access your environment to configure and calibrate the system.
Preferred method:
- Corporate VPN with RSA token
- Access limited to on-site server and camera lPs only
Temporary alternative:
- Remote desktop connection (e.g., TeamViewer) if VPN is not yet available
- All access is logged and used only for setup, maintenance, or troubleshooting.
