The press guard, standing wide open
First thing on the press line. Both leaves of the guard on the big press are standing wide open, one on each side, leaving the die area exposed. Inside, on the orange bolster, sits a sheet-metal part already formed. The machine beacon is still lit and an operator watches the press from the aisle, a few metres away. IRIS sees both leaves out of their frame and sees the part inside the tool.

What IRIS is
IRIS watches the plant for you.
IRIS looks at the cameras you already have on the plant floor and understands what it sees: a stopped line, someone inside a robotic cell, someone without their safety gear on, jammed parts. When something like that happens, it alerts right away; and whatever can be counted, it counts in numbers. All day long, with no one needing to watch the screen.
You tell it what you need to watch, and IRIS does it.
Here, for example, IRIS spots both guard leaves open with the part still inside the tool. Every time it happens, it logs the time, the video and how long it stayed open. By the end of the shift there's a list, and with that you decide whether it's a machine, a shift or a specific part that needs looking at.
Works with the cameras you already have. Nothing to replace.

What IRIS understands
What it recognises in this scene
- guard leaf, open
- second leaf, also out of its frame
- press on the line
- sheet-metal part inside the tool
- operator watching from the aisle
- press beacon, lit
What this camera measures
An alert says something is happening. The reading says how much.
- 2Guard leaves standing open
- 3 min 05 sTime the guard has been open
- 1People in shot
- 07:18Time of the opening
- 9Openings counted this shift
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 leaf of the guard is left open while the press is in an operating condition
Then
- alert the press shop supervisor with the camera and the time
- save the video from the moment the first leaf opened
- time the opening and add it to the shift count
The instruction that set it up«Tell me if the press guard is left open with a part inside the tool.»
What changes
What changes for whoever answers for the plant
At half past six in the morning the big press stops because a part has jammed, and the guard opens and closes in twenty seconds. Nobody writes it down. The line manager only hears about it if somebody tells him. With the camera every opening is logged with time, video and duration, and at the end of the shift there is a list. That is where you see whether it is one machine, one shift or one part that always jams. That is what it takes to fix the cause instead of repeating the safety talk.
What people usually ask
Does IRIS stop the press when it sees the guard open?
No. What stops the press is its own safety system: the guard interlock and the machine’s light curtain. IRIS does not replace them and does not act on the machine. It alerts and leaves the video, which is exactly what is missing when the interlock has been bypassed or a leaf has been left open with nobody writing it down.
Can it tell a maintenance opening from one that should not happen?
If the plant writes it down, yes. The rule can carry a time window, a machine mode or a prior notice. IRIS does not decide what is correct: the plant does. What the camera does is let no opening go by without a time and a picture, and keep the planned ones apart from the rest.
Is it usable as evidence in an investigation?
Yes, for what is visible. The video shows the exact time, which leaves were open, for how long and whether anybody was standing in front of the machine. It identifies nobody, and it does not say whether the interlock was bypassed: the internal state of the press comes from its own log. It is the two together that close the report.
Other cameras
A different case every time
We won't just tell you. We'll show you.
It is a summary of the real screen: it plays by itself, step by step, and shows only the path of one case. The actual tool has far more than fits in here.

Who watches the cameras of a whole city?
23 cases: 18 raise an alert when something happens and 5 only measure. You see each image as it is, and then with what IRIS understands on top.
Who watches an entire motorway?
10 cases: 8 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
A recollection cannot be checked.A number can, and it comes out the same every day.
The number does not depend on who was on shift or how they remember it. It is measured the same way every day, and that is why people counting is certified by the Centro Español de Metrología.
Tell us your problem and we will say whether IRIS understands it, or not yet.
We reply the same working day.
