A cage goes out through the wrong door
Late afternoon in the warehouse. Someone 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.

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 catches the moment a cage goes out through a dock door with no outbound order open for it. It immediately logs the exact time, the door and the whole route on video, without anyone needing to spot it at the time. So if that stock turns up missing later, the warehouse manager doesn't have to rely on anyone's memory — there's a minute and a picture to sort it out with that day's shift.
Works with the cameras you already have. Nothing to replace.

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
Stocktake day, at the end of the month: the shortage shows up and there is nobody left to ask. The cage went out through a dock door at half past seven in the evening, weeks earlier, and today there is no way of knowing that. With the camera, the warehouse manager has the exact time, the door the cage crossed and the video of the whole route. So the discrepancy stops being an end-of-month mystery: it becomes a fact with a minute and a camera, one that can be cleared up with the shift the same day, while they 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

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.
