This facility (anonymous), an automotive supplier, ran HSE inspections in assembly and warehouse areas through sample floor tours and paper checklists. Critical violations could be missed after hours or in blind spots.
Problem
Missing hard hat/vest at hazardous zone boundaries was the most common violation type. Even with two daily rounds, 24/7 coverage was impossible.
After an incident, answering “what was on camera at that moment?” could take hours.
Solution
The HSE module was connected to 8 existing cameras. Hard hat, vest, and zone violation models ran on on-site Edge; video was analyzed without leaving the facility.
On violation, the HSE officer received a dashboard alarm and VMS popup. The event card automatically archived a timestamp and evidence frame.
Daily violation records fell 52% in the first 6 weeks — we do not attribute this solely to behavior change; however, the concept of “invisible violations” disappeared.
Operational impact
Manual floor tour frequency was reduced by 40%; the team had time for preventive actions.
A digital evidence archive formed for audit files — event-based images instead of Excel lists.
