The Company
SAMCON Prozessleittechnik GmbH was founded in 1992 and is located in Lohra-Altenvers, near Marburg. The
company is specialized in the development, production and sale of devices, software as well as engineering services
in the area of process control engineering. The focus is on Camera and Communication Systems for hazardous areas.
It currently has 18 regular and freelance employees. The general managers of the company are Helmut Seibert and
Steffen Seibert.
Since 2008, the company has met the requirements for quality management specified by the Directive 94/9/EC (ATEX)
and produces camera and communication systems for hazardous areas. In 2014, SAMCON extended their quality
management system, now also comprising ISO 9001:2008 as well as IECEx QAR. Since 2007, SAMCON GmbH have
been an Axis development partner and in 2013 this partnership was extended as both companies now jointly
cooperate as Technology Partners.
SAMCON cameras are certified by the TÜV, the German Technical Inspection Authority. Whether simple explosion
proof camera-monitor systems are required or complex CCTV systems have to be implemented - SAMCON always
strive to offer the best solution to our customers. Samcon‘s most important objectives are high quality planning,
well thought-out equipment technology, safety, and of course customer satisfaction.
Our Customers
Camera and Communications Systems for hazardous areas.
In the area of automation technology, a tendency is noticeable that CCTV systems (Closed Circuit Television) extend
and even replace classical sensor technology. With the digitalization of video streams the possibilities increase to ef-
fectively integrate them into existing process control systems and procedures. The requirement spectrum of
CCTV systems in hazardous areas ranges from rather simple observations by the means of static passive video sources,
to cameras disposing of a zoom function and intelligent evaluation units, to complex PTZ cameras such as dome
camera systems.
Due to the constantly increasing demands which explosion proof cameras have to fulfil as well as our effort to realize
and implement our customers‘ requirements, our current scope comprises:
• Development, manufacturing and direct distribution of explosion proof camera systems and the
applicable components
• Compilation of technical concepts to realize CCTV systems in hazardous areas
• Planning and project implementation of CCTV systems in hazardous areas
• Planning and development of analog and digital signal processing and analytical systems
Chemical and Pharmaceutical Industry.
Hardly any field has been so strongly altered by automated technology like the chemical industry. Process values that
were still processed in large part manually in the 1960s led the way to equipment with process control systems and
central measuring stations of today. Our camera systems increase the automation level of chemical and
pharmaceutical production plants.
Cameras for Electronic and Mechanical Industries.
Cameras and optical sensors have long been an essential part of control systems in mechanical engineering. In gen-
eral, two different fields of applications are distinguished: video surveillance and industrial image processing. In both
types of application it is common to use cameras to confer at least some of the abilities of human sight on
machines.
Explosion Proof Cameras for Reneries and Fuel Depots.
In most large refineries and fuel depot sites, process and safety monitoring requirements fit together seamlessly.
Operating procedures are often only controlled and coordinated from a central control room. If information about
what is happening on site is important it is possible to transfer the applicable information via camera technology to
the measuring station.
Explosion Proof Cameras - Onshore & Offshore.
Oil and gas are still important energy sources and are hard to replace, especially for mobile applications. The ExCam
series, especially the stainless steel Models, are extremely robust: The weather resistant stainless steel casings have a
rating of IP68 which means they are absolutely dust-tight and watertight during temporary submersion, making them
ideally suited for all offshore uses.
