CAM-301
Flammables, corrosives and oxidizers in the same containment
Midday in the chemical store. On one single yellow containment there are two red drums with the flame pictogram, half a dozen blue drums with the corrosive one and two white containers with the oxidiser one. All together, with nothing between them. An operator walks past and puts a hand to his hard hat. IRIS reads the pictogram and the color of the container, not the substance: it compares the symbols it can see with the segregation matrix the plant has written.

What IRIS understands
What it recognizes in this scene
- red drums with the flame pictogram
- blue drums with the corrosive pictogram
- containers with the oxidiser pictogram
- shared containment containment
- operator standing by the containment
What this camera measures
An alert says something’s happening. The reading says how much.
- 8Drums in the containment
- 2Containers in the containment
- 3Distinct pictograms read
- 2 h 15 minTime sharing the containment
- 1People in frame
The figures on this screen are an example from the illustration, not any client’s measurement.
The rule
You decide once. IRIS applies it always.
If
containers with pictograms the plant has declared incompatible share the same containment
Then
- alert the warehouse manager with the camera and the time
- save the picture of the containment with the containers in it
- time how long they have been sharing the containment
The instruction that set it up«Tell me if a container with the flame symbol and one with the oxidiser symbol end up in the same containment.»
What changes
What changes for whoever answers for the plant
The warehouse manager normally finds this in an audit, months later, when nobody remembers who left the pallet there. With the camera he sees it the same day, with a photo of the containment and the time. And he knows something no stock list tells him: how long they have been sitting together. A mix found at the annual inspection is a fine; one corrected in twenty minutes never becomes anything at all.
What people usually ask
Can IRIS tell one substance from another?
No. IRIS reads what’s printed on the outside: the pictogram, the color of the container and its format. That’s enough to know that one container marked with a flame and another marked as an oxidiser are sitting in the same containment, and that alone is worth an alert. Which substance is actually inside comes from the safety data sheet and the packing slip. The camera supplies the where, the when and the photo.
Who decides which combinations count as incompatible?
The plant. IRIS doesn’t write the segregation rules: it applies them. The warehouse manager defines which pictograms may not share a containment in his facility, and that list is what the camera watches. If the plant changes its mind, the rule changes, not the camera. And if an alert isn’t useful, it gets adjusted and the effect shows up from the next shift.
Is it any use in a warehouse that changes every day?
Yes, and that’s exactly where it earns its keep. The trouble with a busy store is that yesterday’s photo is worthless today: pallets come in, pallets go out, and nobody re-checks the whole containment. IRIS watches that containment all the time and reports the day a container that shouldn’t be there shows up, with the time it appeared and the video of the moment it was put down.

Simulation · how IRIS works
Watch what happens. Then watch what IRIS does with it.
Not a recorded video and not a drawing: it’s a summary of the real tool, with a different case each time round. The whole tool doesn’t fit in a box.
- It lands in the tray
- You open it
- You confirm or dismiss
Next step
Who is watching the cameras of a whole branch network?
13 cases: 12 raise an alert when something happens and one only measures. You see each image as it is, and then with what IRIS understands on top.
How long does it take to find a hand played two hours ago?
12 cases: 9 raise an alert when something happens and 3 only measure. You see each image as it is, and then with what IRIS understands on top.
And the best part
The cameras you bought years agostill hold up. What they were missing wasn’t image quality.
It was someone to look. IRIS connects to the installation you already have — same equipment, same cabling — and those images go from being stored to being understood.
Tell us your problem and we’ll say whether IRIS understands it, or not yet.
A person answers, the same working day.
