OVER A CENTURY OF TRUSTED SERVICE. COMMITTED TO SAFETY, QUALITY, AND ON-TIME DELIVERY.

  TURN EVERY CAMERA  

  INTO A STRATEGIC ASSET  

In today's competitive industrial landscape, less than 1% of captured visual data is analyzed across manufacturing and processing facilities. While your operations generate thousands of hours of video daily, human operators can only monitor a fraction of available feeds.

 

WHAT IF EVERY CAMERA COULD THINK, ANALYZE, AND ACT INTELLIGENTLY?

 

Through our strategic partnership with global AI leader Ripik AI, DGC AFRICA introduces Vision AI for Industrial Integrity - a transformative solution that converts your existing camera infrastructure into a comprehensive, real-time operational intelligence system.

 

This isn't just surveillance. It's predictive control, actionable insight, and measurable performance improvement - delivered 24/7 with precision that surpasses human capability.
