Case Study: Kansai Electric Power Co., Inc. achieves real-time dam-site safety and low false alarms with Milestone Systems

Kansai Electric Power Co. Inc - Customer Case Study

Agent Vi delivered its savVi video analytics to Kansai Electric Power Co. (KEPCO) to address a critical safety challenge at dozens of hydro-electric dam sites across Kansai, Japan. KEPCO needed a reliable, unmanned surveillance solution to keep waterways clear of people after past drowning incidents, but physical security is difficult because sites are spread out and surrounded by heavy vegetation.

Distributor KT Workshop and integrator MEC equipped a dozen medium-sized dam sites with thermal and standard cameras running savVi, fully integrated with Milestone XProtect for real‑time event detection. savVi triggers loudspeaker warnings and sends images/video clips and alerts to control centers, achieving a very low false-alarm rate, prompting intruders to leave and — according to operators — resulting in no safety incidents since deployment.
