Flammables, corrosives and oxidisers in the same bund
Midday in the chemical store. On one single yellow bund there are two red drums with the flame pictogram, half a dozen blue drums with the corrosive one and two white containers with the oxidiser one. All together, with nothing between them. An operator walks past and puts a hand to his helmet. IRIS reads the pictogram and the colour of the container, not the substance: it compares the symbols it can see with the segregation matrix the plant has written.

What it recognises in this scene
- red drums with the flame pictogram
- blue drums with the corrosive pictogram
- containers with the oxidiser pictogram
- shared containment bund
- operator standing by the bund
What this camera measures
An alert says something is happening. The reading says how much.
- 8Drums in the bund
- 2Containers in the bund
- 3Distinct pictograms read
- 2 h 15 minTime sharing the bund
- 1People in shot
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
containers with pictograms the plant has declared incompatible share the same bund
Then
- alert the warehouse manager with the camera and the time
- save the picture of the bund with the containers in it
- time how long they have been sharing the bund
The instruction that set it up«Tell me if a container with the flame symbol and one with the oxidiser symbol end up in the same bund.»
What changes
What changes for whoever answers for the plant
The warehouse manager normally finds this in an audit, months later, when nobody remembers who left the pallet there. With the camera he sees it the same day, with a photo of the bund and the time. And he knows something no stock list tells him: how long they have been sitting together. A mix found at the annual inspection is a fine; one corrected in twenty minutes never becomes anything at all.
What people usually ask
Can IRIS tell one substance from another?
No. IRIS reads what is printed on the outside: the pictogram, the colour of the container and its format. That is enough to know that one container marked with a flame and another marked as an oxidiser are sitting in the same bund, and that alone is worth an alert. Which substance is actually inside comes from the safety data sheet and the delivery note. The camera supplies the where, the when and the photo.
Who decides which combinations count as incompatible?
The plant. IRIS does not write the segregation rules: it applies them. The warehouse manager defines which pictograms may not share a bund in his facility, and that list is what the camera watches. If the plant changes its mind, the rule changes, not the camera. And if an alert is not useful, it gets adjusted and the effect shows up from the next shift.
Is it any use in a warehouse that changes every day?
Yes, and that is exactly where it earns its keep. The trouble with a busy store is that yesterday’s photo is worthless today: pallets come in, pallets go out, and nobody re-checks the whole bund. IRIS watches that bund all the time and reports the day a container that should not be there shows up, with the time it appeared and the video of the moment it was put down.

Simulation · how IRIS works
Watch what happens. Then watch what IRIS does with it.
Not a recorded video and not a drawing: it is a summary of the real tool, with a different case each time round. The whole tool does not fit in a box.
- 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 1 only measure. 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 cameras you bought years agostill hold up. What they were missing was not image quality.
It was someone to look. IRIS connects to the installation you already have — same equipment, same cabling — and those images go from being stored to being understood.
Tell us your problem and we will say whether IRIS understands it, or not yet.
We reply the same working day.
