Synectics AI Surveillance In Oil & Gas At ADIPEC 2025

Synectics is set to present its latest advancements in AI-driven surveillance tailored for the oil, gas, and transitional energy sectors at ADIPEC 2025, marking the 40th anniversary of its COEX camera range.

Attendees visiting stand 15548 in Hall 15, known as The Chevron Hall, will witness the implementation of COEX hazardous and safe area camera stations combined with Synectics' Synergy software. These technologies aim to assist operators in reducing costs, enhancing safety, and prolonging asset longevity across both traditional setups and new energy ventures.

Edge-based Intelligence and Flexibility

A significant area of focus for Synectics has been the advancement of edge analytics in the COEX cameras. Expanding on existing features such as intrusion detection and object tracking, the latest models now integrate PPE monitoring capabilities, which were previously limited to control room software.

According to Darren Alder, Head of Oil & Gas at Synectics, "COEX cameras deliver powerful edge-based analytics through advanced in-camera processing. By handling data directly at the source, they significantly reduce server, network, and infrastructure demands while ensuring efficient, precise, and scalable AI-driven performance. Whether deployed with Synergy or integrated with other video management systems, customers gain the real-time intelligence they need to make faster, better-informed decisions."

Cost-Effective Camera and Capability Enhancements

Synectics has released a practical guide on planning surveillance upgrades to maximize existing infrastructure

Synectics has introduced integrated infrared (IR) illumination to its COEX camera lineup. As Darren Alder explains, "This makes a big difference to cost and complexity. It's a straightforward way to improve performance where IR is a real benefit to security and process monitoring while reducing maintenance overheads."

Such cost-effective upgrades are crucial for brownfield sites, oil and gas operators, and vessel management companies. To aid these operators, Synectics has released a practical guide on planning surveillance upgrades to maximize existing infrastructure while preparing for future needs. The guide advises against complete overhauls, emphasizing instead on extending asset life and enhancing monitoring capabilities.

Commitment to the Energy Transition

Synectics continues to be a vital partner in the oil and gas industry, providing solutions for offshore platforms, FPSOs, and gas processing facilities. The company is also actively engaged in security and surveillance initiatives supporting the energy transition, including projects like carbon capture plants and offshore wind installations.

Ross Chapman, International Business Development Manager, states, "Operators are looking for solutions that make their facilities secure, safer, and more efficient today while also aligning with the future shape of the energy sector. Whether it’s traditional hydrocarbons or renewables, COEX cameras and Synergy software meet these requirements."

At ADIPEC 2025, Synectics will illustrate how its 40 years of engineering expertise, combined with cutting-edge analytics and integration, continue to shape surveillance solutions for mission-critical energy infrastructure.
