CAM-253
Someone walks into the cell with the robot still running
A person opens the yellow fence gate and steps into the cell. Inside, the orange arm keeps working over the fixtures holding the aluminum castings. The amber beacon on the post is lit: the cell hasn’t stopped. The gate leaf is swung outward and the operator still has a hand on it. There’s nobody else in the aisle to warn him.

The rule
You decide once. IRIS applies it always.
If
a person crosses the cell gate and the robot is still moving
Then
- alert the cell supervisor right away
- save the video of the thirty seconds before and of the entry
- log the time of the entry and the camera that saw it
The instruction that set it up«Alert me the moment someone crosses the robot cell gate while the cell is not stopped.»
What changes
What changes for whoever answers for the plant
Going in for one second to reposition a part: that’s what skips the safe-stop sequence, and it happens ten minutes before the shift changes. A robot cell doesn’t forgive a lapse. IRIS sees the person cross the gate with the cell still live and alerts while it’s happening. The manager gets the camera, the time and the video. What’s done next, stopping, evacuating or opening a report, is decided by a person, not by the camera.
What people usually ask
Can IRIS tell an authorized entry from one that isn’t?
Yes, if the plant tells it. The rule can require the cell to be stopped, a work order to be open, or the entry to fall in a given time window. IRIS detects the situation; what counts as acceptable is decided by the plant, not by the system.
Do I need new cameras inside the cell?
Not always. The camera that already covers the aisle and the gate will do, as long as the whole crossing is visible. What matters is the framing, the gate and the inside of the cell in frame, not how many cameras there are.
Does it replace light curtains and interlocks?
No. Light curtains and interlocks are the protection; IRIS is the layer that sees what happens around them and leaves a record. If someone comes in through a gap the curtain doesn’t cover, the camera still sees it.

See it for yourself
A camera looks. IRIS understands what it sees.
An extract of the real screen, no voice-over and hands-free. Each round poses another situation. What sits behind it is a good deal bigger than what you see.
- You draw the line
- It counts by itself
- A number comes out
Next step
What if the outage doesn’t start with an attack?
13 cases, and in every one of them IRIS raises an alert when something happens. You see each image as it is, and then with what it understands on top.
And who watches the cameras?
34 cases, and in every one of them IRIS raises an alert when something happens. You see each image as it is, and then with what it understands on top.
And the best part
Behind one camera you can put a person.Behind four thousand you can’t put anyone.
Adding a camera costs little; adding another pair of eyes doesn’t. So the cameras keep growing and the attention doesn’t. IRIS watches all four thousand at once and flags what matters today.
Tell us your problem and we’ll say whether IRIS understands it, or not yet.
A person answers, the same working day.
