A rack hit that nobody is going to report
Mid-afternoon in aisle 12. A forklift has hit the racking on the right. The blue upright is bent inwards, two pallets have shed their load and there is burst cardboard across the floor. The driver is still sitting on the truck. Three colleagues in high-vis have walked over and are looking. IRIS sees the contact between the truck and the structure, marks the exact second and saves the video. Whether the bay is still safe is decided by an inspection, not by the camera.

The rule
You decide once. IRIS applies it always.
If
a forklift touches the rack structure inside the watched aisle
Then
- alert the warehouse manager with the camera, the aisle and the time
- save the video from ten seconds before the impact
- keep the alert open until somebody inspects the bay
The instruction that set it up«Tell me when a forklift hits a rack, and save me the video of the impact.»
What changes
What changes for whoever answers for the plant
Rack hits almost never get reported. Whoever caused it carries on working, and the upright stays bent until the day it gives way with twelve tonnes on top. With the camera, the warehouse manager gets the alert while it is happening, with the aisle, the time and the video of the hit. He can close the bay, call the inspection and see whether it was a scrape or a real impact. He stops depending on somebody owning up.
What people usually ask
Does IRIS say whether the racking is still safe?
No. IRIS sees the impact, marks the time and saves the video: that tells you where it happened, which truck was there and how hard the hit looks. Whether the structure holds or the bay has to be emptied is decided by an inspection against the standard. What the camera changes is that the inspection is requested the same day, not three months later when nobody remembers the hit.
Does it know which forklift it was?
Not by its number or its driver. IRIS does not read forklift plates and does not identify anybody: it works with zones drawn over the image. What it delivers is the video of the moment, with the truck in shot, the aisle and the exact minute. With that the warehouse checks its own shift sheet and knows who was there. The camera supplies the evidence; the name comes from the organisation.
Can it stop the forklift before the impact?
No. IRIS alerts, it does not drive and it does not brake: it sends no command to the truck and it does not predict the impact. It detects what is already happening and puts it in front of a person straight away. What happens next — closing the aisle, emptying the bay, calling maintenance — is decided by the warehouse. That is the difference between a system that alerts and one that acts: here there is always a person in between.

Next step
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.
Who is watching the yard screen when the fight starts?
17 cases: 16 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.
And the best part
Whoever is on duty already has a job.Watching forty screens does not fit into the shift.
No shift has time to spare. IRIS watches all forty at once and brings only what needs to be seen, with its camera and its time. What happens next is that person’s call.
Tell us your problem and we will say whether IRIS understands it, or not yet.
