The tanker hose, coupled to the forbidden manifold
Early morning at the unloading point. A tanker has parked and an operator is tightening the flange of the red hose onto the red manifold, the one standing on the red-striped floor. Six feet away, the green manifold has its own hose lying on the ground, untouched. Another operator, in the foreground, raises his hand. IRIS sees which coupling the hose goes to and compares it with the unloading point named on the packing slip.

The rule
You decide once. IRIS applies it always.
If
the tanker hose is coupled to a manifold other than the one on the packing slip
Then
- alert the unloading supervisor with the camera and the time of coupling
- save the video of the previous minute and the picture of the connected flange
- keep the alert open until a person closes it
The instruction that set it up«Tell me the moment a tanker hose is coupled to any point other than the one on the packing slip.»
What changes
What changes for whoever answers for the plant
Unloading into the wrong tank isn’t something you fix with a mop: the receiving tank’s contents are lost, the plant stops and, depending on which two products meet, there’s a reaction. With the camera the alert comes when the hose is coupled, before the valve opens. The unloading supervisor has the picture of the flange in place, the time and the video of the previous minute for the investigation.
What people usually ask
Does IRIS know what product the tanker is carrying?
No. The camera sees the tanker, the hose and which coupling it goes to. What it’s carrying comes from the packing slip, and the composition from the goods-in analysis. What IRIS adds is the comparison between the unloading point on the paperwork and the point the hose has actually been coupled to. If they don’t match, it alerts while the operator is still tightening the flange.
And if the correct point changes from one day to the next?
That’s fine. The rule doesn’t say “always the green manifold”: it says “whichever one the packing slip for that load names.” The plant writes that correspondence and IRIS applies it load by load. Every connection point carries its own visible marking and the camera reads which one the hose went to.
Can IRIS stop the unloading?
No, and it shouldn’t. IRIS alerts; stopping a pump or closing a valve is decided by a person or by the plant’s control system. The camera supplies the alert with the picture and the exact minute, so that whoever is in charge decides with the scene in front of them instead of over the phone.

See it for yourself
This isn’t a video. It’s a slice of the real screen.
A summary of the real interface, played hands-free. You see one case from start to finish; what you don’t see are the other screens, and there are many.
- The hour, as a grid
- You look where it’s dark

Next step
Who watches a whole station at rush hour?
17 cases: 11 raise an alert when something happens and 6 only measure. You see each image as it is, and then with what IRIS understands on top.
Who sees the sales that never reach the register?
10 cases: 4 raise an alert when something happens and 6 only measure. You see each image as it is, and then with what IRIS understands on top.
And the best part
A recording gets watched when nothing can be done.An alert lands while there’s still time to act.
IRIS raises the alert while it’s happening and says where: the camera, the time and the images from that moment. With that, whoever is on duty is still in time to act.
