Both airlock doors open at the same time
Mid-morning in the personnel airlock. Both leaves are open at the same time. On the left a person waits, hood on and blue overshoes; on the right another holds the inner leaf open with the process room behind, tanks and a cart of bottles in view. Between the two doors there’s no barrier left: corridor air and room air meet. IRIS sees both leaves open and times it from the second they overlap.

What this camera measures
An alert says something’s happening. The reading says how much.
- 2Doors open at once
- 9 sSeconds with both open
- 4Times counted today
- 2People in the airlock
- 09:41Time of the alert
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
both airlock leaves are open at the same time
Then
- alert the room with the camera, the time and how many seconds they have been open
- save the video from the moment the first door opened
- add the episode to the shift count for review
The instruction that set it up«Alert me the moment both airlock doors are open at the same time, even for a few seconds.»
What changes
What changes for whoever answers for the plant
In an airlock, segregation doesn’t come from the door: it comes from never having two open at once. When the interlock fails, gets wedged, or somebody overrides it during a rushed transfer, no trace is left that it happened. With the camera there is: the supervisor sees how often it happens, on which shift, at which door and how many seconds each time. That fixes the cause, not the report.
What people usually ask
Is the door interlock not enough?
Not on its own. The interlock is the first defense and it stays in charge, but it fails, it gets wedged, and sometimes it is overridden to push a cart through in a hurry. The camera watches what actually happens: two leaves open at once. It doesn’t replace the interlock, it watches over it, and it leaves the picture, the time and how many seconds it lasted.
Does IRIS close the door or block the way?
No. IRIS alerts; it doesn’t act. It doesn’t close doors, doesn’t stop lines and doesn’t send anyone anywhere. It sends the alert with the camera, the time and the video, and from there a person decides. If the plant wants that alert to light a beacon or open a report, that can be set up, but the instruction comes from the plant and not from the camera.
Does it work in a material airlock as well?
Yes. The rule is the same: two leaves that should never be open together are open together. What passes through changes — a cart, a pallet, a tray — but what the camera watches doesn’t. And it counts as well: how many times per shift, at which airlock and how many seconds each time.

The real interface, step by step
No extra alarms here. Just what needs looking at.
Not a recorded video, not an explanatory drawing: a summary of the real screen, with a different case every time it starts. There’s a lot more behind it.
- 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 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.
