A cage goes out through the wrong door
Late afternoon in the warehouse. A man in a blue T-shirt is pushing a pallet truck carrying a wire cage full of boxes down the central aisle, towards the open dock door where a white lorry is waiting. On the right, two colleagues with a tablet are checking another despatch. Behind them a forklift works between the racks. That door is not the exit for this route, and there is no outbound order open for that cage. IRIS sees it while it is happening.

The rule
You decide once. IRIS applies it always.
If
a cage or a pallet crosses a dock door with no outbound order open for those goods
Then
- alert the warehouse manager with the camera, the door and the time
- save the video from the cage leaving its aisle to the moment it crossed the door
- leave the alert in the shift log with the image attached
The instruction that set it up«Tell me when a cage or a pallet goes out through a door that is not the one for its route and there is no outbound order open for those goods.»
What changes
What changes for whoever answers for the plant
The warehouse manager finds out weeks later, at stocktake, with no way of knowing when the goods left. With the camera he has the exact time, the door the cage went through and the video of the whole run. The discrepancy stops being a month-end mystery: it becomes a fact with a minute and a camera attached, something the shift can clear up the same day, while people still remember.
What people usually ask
Does IRIS say this is a theft?
No. IRIS does not judge intent and does not identify anyone. It sees one concrete fact: a cage crossed a dock door and there is no outbound order open for those goods. It may be a routing mistake, a rush job nobody wrote down, or something worse. A person decides what happened, with the video and the exact time in front of them.
Do you need a camera on every door?
Not on all of them, but on every exit you want to watch. The rule is written door by door: which are for despatch, which are for staff, and which goods should never cross at all. The warehouse decides that, not the camera. Two or three well-chosen doors usually cover most of the real goods traffic.
Does it replace the warehouse management system?
No. The management system knows what should leave, when and through which door. The camera sees what actually left and where. IRIS works alongside it: it supplies the image and the exact minute so the two can be compared. When the paperwork and the footage agree, nothing happens. When they do not, somebody takes a look.

See it for yourself
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.
- The alert fires
- You open it
- You confirm or dismiss
Next step
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.
What does a shopping centre see beyond the visitor count?
12 cases: 4 raise an alert when something happens and 8 only measure. You see each image as it is, and then with what IRIS understands on top.
And the best part
A wall of monitors is impressive.Nobody can read forty tiles at once.
The more tiles there are, the less each one gets looked at. IRIS watches all four thousand cameras at once and points at a single one: the one that needs someone right now.
