IBM designed video system at Chicago’s Navy Pier

June

IBM Corp. said that it played a key role in creating one of the world’s most advanced video monitoring systems for Chicago’s Navy Pier, a major tourist destination in the Midwest that hosts more than 8 million visitors per year.

Armonk-based IBM designed and built the project that uses high-resolution cameras with far- and wide-range viewing capabilities to aid authortities seeking to maintain security.

The first phase of the project integrated cameras, alarms, sensors, audio and analytics to protect the pier’s visitors. “As evidenced by this most recent project with Navy Pier, the City of Chicago is committed to infusing intelligence into its systems, processes and infrastructure to provide better quality of life for citizens and visitors,” said Roger Rehayem, principal of emerging technologies for IBM Global Technology Services.
