Case Study: O'Neal Steel achieves a 92% reduction in time spent reviewing footage with Samsara

92% Reduction in Time Spent Reviewing Footage With Proactive Alerts

O’Neal Steel, a 100+-year-old, family-owned metal service business and part of O’Neal Industries, needed to modernize security across ~20 sites and 175+ camera streams after three prior vendors failed to provide reliable coverage or timely alerts. Site managers routinely spent hours manually hunting for footage or found cameras offline with no notification, leaving operations and IT without visibility or a sustainable system.

They adopted Samsara’s cloud-based Site Visibility and Site Gateway, which integrates third‑party cameras, adds Samsara 5MP cameras, and uses AI detections, proactive alerts, and device-health dashboards. The rollout cut time spent reviewing footage by 92% (supervisors now save 100+ hours per week), improved remote troubleshooting and bandwidth visibility, and unlocked ongoing innovation via APIs for future operational use cases.
