A glove on the belt, among the trays
Ready-meal line. The trays run in file along the belt, sealed and labeled, on their way to the check station. On the belt, between two trays, a blue nitrile glove is lying. It isn’t product and it isn’t a tool from the line: it’s a piece of workwear that has fallen. An operator in a white coat is working with his back turned at the far end and hasn’t seen it. The glove moves along with everything else.

The rule
You decide once. IRIS applies it always.
If
an object appears on the belt that is neither product nor part of the line
Then
- alert the quality manager with the camera and the time
- save the video from the moment the object entered the shot
- log the exact minute so the affected trays can be narrowed down
The instruction that set it up«Tell me if anything that is not product shows up on the belt: a glove, a piece of plastic or a tool.»
What changes
What changes for whoever answers for the plant
Pulling one tray or pulling a whole batch: fifteen seconds of conveyor separate the two. A glove spotted here’s solved with one tray; the same glove in a customer’s warehouse is solved with a phone call that starts with “we have a problem” and a batch off the market. IRIS sees what doesn’t belong in the product stream and alerts while the object is still in sight, with camera, time and video. The quality manager knows which trays went past that point and at what minute.
What people usually ask
Does IRIS guarantee that no foreign body reaches the product?
No, and that’s worth saying plainly. A camera sees what’s in view: a glove, a piece of plastic, a piece of cardboard or a tool on top of the belt. It doesn’t see what’s inside a sealed pack or underneath the product. It’s one more layer, alongside the metal detector and the quality checks, and it replaces neither of them.
Does it also detect chemical residues, allergens or bacteria?
No. No camera sees any of that. IRIS detects objects, people, spills and the visible state of a line. An allergen, a chemical residue or a microbiological load is confirmed by a laboratory analysis, and that’s how it has to be said. Where an analysis is needed, an analysis is needed.
How does this help narrow down a batch?
Through the time. The alert is stored with the exact minute and the video of that stretch. If product has to be pulled, you know from which moment to which one trays went past that object, instead of blocking a whole shift of production just in case.

Next step
Who sees the child who’s fallen at the far end of the schoolyard?
14 cases: 13 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.
Who is watching a site where there’s almost never anybody?
44 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
Nobody covers the night shift:the camera that is already on covers it.
It doesn’t tire, it doesn’t blink and it doesn’t go for coffee. What happens at night is understood just as it would be at midday, and whoever is on duty hears about it while it’s happening.
Tell us your problem and we’ll say whether IRIS understands it, or not yet.
