CAM-257
Somebody is standing on top of the press
Early shift in the press shop. Someone has climbed on top of the press body, more than eight feet above the floor, and is stretching toward the overhead crane beam. They have no hard hat and no harness, and there’s no lifeline to clip onto. Below, a colleague in hard hat and safety vest watches them from the tool cart. The yellow rail around the base is still closed. IRIS sees a person where there should be none.

What this camera measures
An alert says something’s happening. The reading says how much.

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
a person appears above floor level on top of a machine
Then
- alert the safety manager with the camera and the time
- save the video from the moment the person starts climbing
- record the machine and time how long the person stays up there
The instruction that set it up«Tell me if somebody climbs on top of a machine or works at height without a harness.»
What changes
What changes for whoever answers for the plant
Nobody climbs a press for fun: they climb because the platform takes an hour to arrive and the part is up there. The trouble is that this habit leaves no trace until the day somebody falls. With the camera, the safety manager sees the habit before the accident: how often it happens, on which machine and at what point in the shift. That gets fixed with a platform and a conversation, not with an incident report.
What people usually ask
Does IRIS know who climbed on the press?
No, and it never will. IRIS does not recognize faces or compare them against any list: it sees that there is a person on top of a machine, at what height and since when. Who it’s comes from the work order or the supervisor, with the video in front of them. The camera detects situations, not people.
Does it also detect a missing hard hat, vest or harness?
Yes, when the protective equipment can be seen in the image. Hard hat, safety vest, harness and goggles show up clearly from a well-placed camera. Gloves and footwear depend on the framing and the distance: at sixty feet they’re simply not visible. That’s why the rule is written for the camera you have, not the one you would like.
What if that climb is authorized?
Then it isn’t an alert, and the rule says so. The plant defines where and when climbing is allowed, by what means and with what protection. IRIS doesn’t decide what’s safe: it applies what the plant has written. If the work at height is planned and there’s a harness and a lifeline, nothing fires.

The real interface, step by step
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 ask

Next step
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.
Who is watching when the load swings over somebody?
11 cases: 9 raise an alert when something happens and 2 only measure. You see each image as it is, and then with what IRIS understands on top.
And the best part
“The white van, Tuesday afternoon.”That’s enough to find it.
You type it the way you’d tell a colleague, and the matching minutes come back, each with its camera and its time. You don’t need to remember the exact moment.
