CAM-257
Somebody is standing on top of the press
Early shift in the press shop. A man has climbed on top of the press body, more than two and a half metres above the floor, and is stretching towards the overhead crane beam. He has no hard hat and no harness, and there is no lifeline to clip onto. Below, a colleague in helmet and hi-vis vest watches him from the tool trolley. The yellow rail around the base is still closed. IRIS sees a person where there should be none.

What this camera measures
An alert says something is happening. The reading says how much.
- 2,6 mHeight above the floor

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 person appears above floor level on top of a machine
Then
- alert the safety manager with the camera and the time
- save the video from the moment the person starts climbing
- record the machine and time how long the person stays up there
The instruction that set it up«Tell me if somebody climbs on top of a machine or works at height without a harness.»
What changes
What changes for whoever answers for the plant
Nobody climbs a press for fun: they climb because the platform takes an hour to arrive and the part is up there. The trouble is that this habit leaves no trace until the day somebody falls. With the camera, the safety manager sees the habit before the accident: how often it happens, on which machine and at what point in the shift. That gets fixed with a platform and a conversation, not with an incident report.
What people usually ask
Does IRIS know who climbed on the press?
No, and it never will. IRIS does not recognise faces or compare them against any list: it sees that there is a person on top of a machine, at what height and since when. Who it is comes from the work order or the supervisor, with the video in front of them. The camera detects situations, not people.
Does it also detect a missing hard hat, vest or harness?
Yes, when the protective equipment can be seen in the image. Hard hat, hi-vis vest, harness and goggles show up clearly from a well-placed camera. Gloves and footwear depend on the framing and the distance: at twenty metres they are simply not visible. That is why the rule is written for the camera you have, not the one you would like.
What if that climb is authorised?
Then it is not an alert, and the rule says so. The plant defines where and when climbing is allowed, by what means and with what protection. IRIS does not decide what is safe: it applies what the plant has written. If the work at height is planned and there is a harness and a lifeline, nothing fires.

The real interface, step by step
A camera looks. IRIS understands what it sees.
An extract of the real screen, no voice-over and hands-free. Each round poses another situation. What sits behind it is a good deal bigger than what you see.

Next step
Who sees the sales that never reach the till?
10 cases: 4 raise an alert when something happens and 6 only measure. You see each image as it is, and then with what IRIS understands on top.
Who is watching when the load swings over somebody?
11 cases: 9 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
“The white van, Tuesday afternoon.”That is enough to find it.
You type it the way you would tell a colleague, and the matching minutes come back, each with its camera and its time. You do not need to remember the exact moment.
