Safety compliance is spot-checked
PPE audits happen when a supervisor walks past. Between walks, nobody knows.
Solutions
Vision that keeps the line running
Safety, security and process visibility across the plant, on the cameras you already have.

The situation
What sites in this sector are dealing with
A plant already has cameras. What it usually lacks is anything watching them during the shift, so footage gets reviewed after an injury, a theft or a stoppage instead of before.
Restricted zones are honour-system
Machine and forklift zones depend on people remembering where the line is.
Material movement is invisible
Where a pallet went between stores and line is reconstructed from memory.
Incidents surface late
A near-miss is discovered days later, if at all, when the footage is already overwritten.
What we deploy
The products doing the work
Same platform, same event pipeline, same audit log — only the rules differ.
Video Management System
Plant-wide recording with camera groups per shop floor, gate and stores.
AI-Enabled Video Analytics
PPE compliance, restricted-zone entry, loitering and abandoned-object alerts.
Face Recognition System
Contractor and visitor management at gates, with expiry when the visit ends.
Outcomes
What changes on site
- Safety violations raised while the shift is running, not at the monthly review
- Gate and stores footage searchable by time and event instead of scrubbed by hand
- Contractor access logged automatically, with entry records that survive an audit
- Camera failures caught in minutes, so the day of an incident is never a blind day
Plants are hard on hardware. Dust, vibration, heat and poor lighting break more deployments than models do, so the survey covers enclosures and mounting before it covers software.

Questions
Frequently asked
Will this integrate with our MES or SCADA?
Events can be exported or pushed by API. Tell us which MES or SCADA platform you run and we scope the deeper integration with it.
Do we need to replace plant cameras?
Usually only the ones mounted for a view that analytics cannot work with. We list them after the survey and explain why for each one.
Planning something for Manufacturing?
Tell us the site, the camera count and what you need to catch. We will tell you what is realistic before anyone talks price.
