CAM-325
The hose is coupled to the wrong header
Mid-morning at the unloading bay. A road tanker is parked along the yellow line and one operator stands beside it. The hose leaves the underside of the truck, runs across the ground and climbs onto the valve skid. Three headers sit there side by side: two green and one red. The end of the hose has been coupled to the red line. Nobody else is watching and the transfer has not started yet.

What IRIS understands
What it recognises in this scene
- coupled end of the hose
- red header
- green headers
- tanker at the unloading bay
- operator beside the truck
What this camera measures
An alert says something is happening. The reading says how much.
- 3 mintime since the hose was coupled
- 1people at the unloading bay
- 1tankers at the bay
- 3headers visible on the skid
- 11:42time of coupling
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 tanker hose is coupled to a header other than the one named in the unloading order
Then
- alert the shift supervisor and the truck operator
- save the video from the moment the hose reached the skid
- attach the picture of the coupling and its time to the transfer record
The instruction that set it up«Tell me if a tanker hose ends up coupled to a header other than the one on the unloading order.»
What changes
What changes for whoever answers for the plant
A wrong coupling goes unnoticed until the product is already running down the wrong pipe. Then the clean-up takes days. Here the alert arrives before anything is opened, with the picture of the coupling and the exact minute. The shift supervisor does not argue over versions: he watches the video and decides. If the coupling was right, he closes the alert straight away and the transfer goes on. IRIS opens and closes nothing.
What people usually ask
Does IRIS know what product is in the tanker?
No. A camera sees the hose, where it is coupled and what colour the header is. What is inside comes from the unloading order and the process system. IRIS puts the picture and the minute next to that data, so whoever decides sees both at once.
Can IRIS stop the transfer?
No. IRIS opens and closes nothing. It reports what it sees and hands over the video. Stopping the transfer is a person's decision, taken with the plant procedure in hand.
And if the coupling was the right one?
The alert is closed and stays on record. The plant writes the rule: which header belongs to which order is decided by the plant, not by the camera. A closed alert is still useful, because it leaves picture proof that the transfer went to the right place.

Simulation · how IRIS works
We won't just tell you. We'll show you.
It is a summary of the real screen: it plays by itself, step by step, and shows only the path of one case. The actual tool has far more than fits in here.
- You draw the line
- It counts by itself
- A number comes out

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.
What does an airport see before the queue forms?
14 cases: 7 raise an alert when something happens and 7 only measure. You see each image as it is, and then with what IRIS understands on top.
And the best part
The cameras you bought years agostill hold up. What they were missing was not image quality.
It was someone to look. IRIS connects to the installation you already have — same equipment, same cabling — and those images go from being stored to being understood.
Tell us your problem and we will say whether IRIS understands it, or not yet.
We reply the same working day.
