A loader is backing up and someone is walking behind it
Late afternoon on the tipping yard. A wheel loader is backing up down the maneuvering lane with a full bucket and both red rear lights on. A worker in a yellow vest is walking along that same lane, back turned, ten feet from the rear wheel. From the cab he can’t be seen: he is in the blind spot. IRIS sees the machine moving backward and the person on foot in the same lane, at the same time.

The rule
You decide once. IRIS applies it always.
If
a machine backs up and a person on foot is inside the maneuvering lane
Then
- alert the operator and the yard supervisor right away
- save the video from before the backing up started
- log the camera, the time and the gap between person and machine
The instruction that set it up«Tell me when a machine backs up and there is someone on foot in the same lane.»
What changes
What changes for whoever answers for the plant
The plant manager finds out while it’s happening, not after the near miss. The alert arrives with the camera, the time and the video of those seconds, so the discussion stops being about who is right and becomes what we change: a separate walkway, a banksman, a different maneuvering direction. And at the end of the month there’s a count of how many times a person on foot and a machine shared the same lane. That’s what goes to the safety committee.
What people usually ask
Can IRIS tell a person on foot from another machine?
Yes. IRIS separates the shape of a person walking from that of a vehicle, and only alerts when both meet inside the watched area: a machine moving backward and someone on foot in the lane. An operator sitting in a cab doesn’t trigger it. What counts as the maneuvering lane, and at what distance the alert should fire, is decided by the plant, not by the camera.
Can IRIS stop the machine?
No. IRIS doesn’t act on any equipment: it alerts. It sends the alert to the operator and the supervisor with the camera, the time and the video, and a person decides whether to stop, step aside or change the maneuver. If the plant wants an automatic stop, that’s a machine safety system, not a video system.
Does IRIS recognize who the worker is?
No. IRIS does not identify anyone and does not compare faces against any database. It detects situations: there’s a person on foot where a machine is backing up. The alert carries the camera, the time and the picture of what happened, not anybody’s name.

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
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.
