Boxes leave the controlled cabinet with no work order open
Almost ten at night in the controlled product store. One of the steel cabinets is open. In front of it, a person in a blue gown, hairnet and gloves is holding a personal black bag, open, level with the shelf. On that shelf sit boxes of the same product the cabinet holds. Further back, another person pushes the distribution trolley down the aisle. IRIS sees material being taken from the cabinet and checks whether a work order is open for that hour.

The rule
You decide once. IRIS applies it always.
If
material is taken from the controlled cabinet and no work order is open for that hour
Then
- alert the controlled store manager with the camera, the time and the video
- save the video from the moment the cabinet opened until it was closed
- log the opening with its time so it can be matched against the stock count
The instruction that set it up«Tell me if boxes are taken out of the controlled cabinet when no work order is open for that hour.»
What changes
What changes for whoever answers for the plant
In a controlled store, the discrepancy shows up in the count, and the count is next week. By then there are seven days of video and nobody knows where to start. With the camera, every cabinet opening is stamped with its time; if no work order is open for that hour, the alert goes out while it is happening. What the manager receives is not an accusation: it is an image, a minute and a question that needs answering.
What people usually ask
Does IRIS accuse anybody of stealing?
No. IRIS does not identify anybody, does not recognise faces and does not judge intent. It detects a fact: material was taken from a controlled cabinet and no work order is open for that hour. What it delivers is the image, the minute and the number of boxes. What happened there is decided by a person, with the video in front of them.
How does it know there was no work order open?
Not from the image: the rule matches the time of the opening against the open orders in the plant system. The camera contributes the exact moment and what is visible; the legitimate circuit is defined by the plant. If an order is open, there is no alert.
Is the recording of any use for the investigation afterwards?
Yes. The video is kept from the moment the cabinet opens until it closes, with the time and the count of boxes in sight. That turns a stock discrepancy into one specific minute to review. Who went in is told by the plant access control, not by the camera.

The real interface, step by step
A new case each time. Always the same screen.
It plays by itself and shows one case from start to finish. It is a summary: the real screen has far more functions than fit in this box.
- The rule gets built
- It goes to every camera
- Published, it watches alone

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
You can add more cameras;you cannot add more hours to anyone’s day.
Cameras can be multiplied; a person’s hours cannot. IRIS looks at everything coming in and leaves them the one thing no machine does better: deciding what to do.
