Factory floor safety audits were periodic and manual — safety officers walked the floor on scheduled rounds. Between audits, compliance gaps went undetected, particularly in high-traffic production areas.
We deployed a camera-based monitoring system using computer vision to detect whether workers were wearing required safety equipment (helmets, safety vests) and to flag unauthorized entry into restricted zones. The system processes video feeds in real-time and sends alerts to floor supervisors.
The detection model was designed for robustness across varying lighting conditions, camera angles, and worker movement patterns common in manufacturing environments. We implemented zone-based rules so different areas could enforce different safety requirements.
The system operates as a supplementary safety layer — it does not replace safety officers but provides continuous monitoring between manual audits, improving detection coverage and response time for compliance issues.
