CAM-388
A worker on foot between a truck and a loader
Late afternoon in the quarry yard. A truck loaded with stone is moving along on the left. From the right, a wheel loader comes in with a full bucket, throwing up dust. Between the two, a worker in a hi-vis vest and yellow helmet is crossing on foot with one arm raised. On the fence behind there is a machinery-in-motion sign and a speed limit sign. IRIS sees a person on foot inside the area where two machines are moving.

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 spots a person on foot right where the truck and the loader are moving at the same time. It alerts the supervisor and the control room straight away, while the person is still there. With that alert you get them out of the way right then, and afterwards you check the video to see how they got in and what was missing.
Works with the cameras you already have. Nothing to replace.
A person replies, not a form.

What IRIS understands
What it recognises in this scene
- person on foot between the two machines
- loader advancing with a full bucket
- loaded truck on the move
- machinery-in-motion sign
- yard speed limit sign
What this camera measures
An alert says something is happening. The reading says how much.
- 11 sTime the person has been in the area
- 1People on foot in the yard
- 5Machines moving in shot
- 7Crossings on foot counted today
- 18:10Time of the crossing
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 on foot enters the area where heavy machinery is moving
Then
- alert the yard supervisor with the camera, the time and the exact spot
- save the video from the moment the person enters until they leave
- add the crossing to the day’s count of movements on foot
The instruction that set it up«Tell me the moment anyone is on foot in the machine area of the yard, even briefly.»
What changes
What changes for whoever answers for the plant
Six in the evening, shift ending, everyone in a hurry to close the stockpile. And the mechanism is always the same: from a high cab there is a cone of ground right against the wheel that the loader driver cannot see, and the person crossing on foot is exactly there. The camera does see it. The alert reaches the supervisor and the control post while the person is still there, and the video is kept to review how it came to that: where he got in, why he was on foot and what was missing.
What people usually ask
Isn’t the machine’s own collision system enough?
It helps, but it warns inside the cab and only around that one machine. The camera sees the whole yard from above: who comes in on foot, where from, and which machines are moving at the same time. The alert also reaches the supervisor and the control room, and a video with the time is kept. They are two different things and they work well together.
Can it tell a person from a drum or a cone?
Yes. IRIS recognises the shape of a person and the way they move, and does not confuse them with a stationary object. What it does not do is know who they are: it does not recognise faces or match them against any list. It sees «somebody is on foot in the machine area», and that is enough to raise the alert in time.
Can walking be allowed at certain times?
Yes, and it is the normal case. The quarry writes the rules: a maintenance window, a marked walkway, a machine stand-down. Inside that, IRIS stays quiet; outside it, it alerts. IRIS does not decide what counts as a breach, it applies it. And every rule change is logged with the date it was made.

Simulation · how IRIS works
Everything comes in. Only what matters gets through.
This sums up what IRIS does with one alert, from the moment it appears until it is closed. The real screen holds far more; this is the main thread.
- Checks the whole system
- Flags what is failing
- Puts it on one screen

How many bays are free right now?
15 cases: 9 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.
What does a venue with twenty thousand people inside see?
15 cases: 11 raise an alert when something happens and 4 only measure. You see each image as it is, and then with what IRIS understands on top.
