The screen is packed with wipes and the water isn’t getting through
Seven fifteen in the morning at the inlet screen. The bars have vanished under a curtain of wipes, rags and plastic hanging from top to bottom; only a few on the right are still clear. In front of it the water is ponding, with branches and bottles floating. The blue drive unit of the raking machine sits still on the walkway. One crew member in a white hard hat and vest is working the control panel while another watches from above.

What IRIS understands
What it recognizes in this scene
- blinded screen
- raking machine drive unit
- control panel
- crew member at the panel
- floating debris in front of the screen
What this camera measures
An alert says something’s happening. The reading says how much.
- 18 mintime since the screen was covered
- 4bars still clear
- 0rake cycles in the last hour
- 2crew at the screen
- 07:12time 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
the screen is covered with solids and the raking machine completes no cycles
Then
- open a warning alert for the operations shift
- save the video from the last complete rake cycle
- send the still with the camera, the channel and the time
The instruction that set it up«Tell me if the screen blinds with textiles or the raking machine stops running cycles.»
What changes
What changes for whoever answers for the plant
Seven fifteen on a wet morning: the operator on shift is at the far end of the works and the upstream level hasn’t reached the float yet. A blinded screen cuts the inflow, raises the level and ends in a spill to the street or the river. It’s one of the known causes of overflow, along with breakages, overloads and power failures. Level tells you when it’s already high; the image tells you earlier, while the screen is blinding over and the rake can’t keep up. IRIS marks the minute water stops passing and keeps the video of the last cycle.
What people usually ask
Does IRIS replace the level measurement?
No. It works alongside it. The probe tells you how high the water is; the camera tells you why it’s rising and since when. The two together save a trip out to look and let you decide whether an extra cycle or a manual clean is needed.
Does it tell wipes apart from other trash?
IRIS detects that the screen is covered with solids and how much surface they take up. The exact material is confirmed by whoever cleans the screen. To decide on an extra cycle or a manual clean it’s enough to see that the water is no longer getting through, and from what minute.
Can you count how many times the screen is cleaned?
Yes, and that’s the other way of working. To count, you draw a line or a zone on the image and the number comes out by hour and by day. Asking is for finding. Counting is for measuring. And they aren’t done the same way: a line can’t be described in a sentence, it has to be drawn.

Simulation · how IRIS works
Everything comes in. Only what matters gets through.
This sums up what IRIS does with one alert, from the moment it appears until it’s closed. The real screen holds far more; this is the main thread.
- Cameras on the map
- You draw an area
- What passed shows up
Next step
What can a camera see without pointing at anyone?
13 cases: 9 raise an alert when something happens and 4 only measure. You see each image as it is, and then with what IRIS understands on top.
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 the best part
You write the rule yourself, in your own words.Nobody has to program it for you.
“Tell me if a fire door is left open.” That’s the whole rule. From then on it applies on every camera and at any hour, without ever touching it again.
Tell us your problem and we’ll say whether IRIS understands it, or not yet.
A person answers, the same working day.
