Someone is walking under the hanging load
Midday on the quay. A mobile crane has a container hanging from the spreader, clear of the ground, and has not set it down yet. Across the apron, a worker in helmet and orange vest walks towards the load and steps into the strip right underneath it. Beside them waits the flatbed that is due to take it. IRIS sees the load in the air and the person moving underneath, and alerts while the container is still hanging.

What this camera measures
An alert says something is happening. The reading says how much.
- 1People under the load
- 8 sTime inside the danger strip
- 14Crane moves counted today
- 2People in shot
- 09:05Time of the alert
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 enters the area under a suspended load or its travel path
Then
- alert the crane driver and the lift supervisor with the camera and the time
- save the video from the moment the load left the ground
- leave the alert in the lift report with the image attached
The instruction that set it up«Tell me the moment anyone steps under a hanging load or into the path it is going to travel.»
What changes
What changes for whoever answers for the terminal
If that load lets go, there is no second chance. Today the only warning available is somebody shouting in time, and on a windy quay full of engines nobody hears a thing. What the camera changes is the timing: the alert arrives while the container is in the air, not once it is on the ground. And afterwards there is the video, which in an investigation is worth more than five different accounts of what happened.
What people usually ask
Can IRIS stop the crane?
No. IRIS does not command any equipment: it does not stop a crane, does not release a brake and does not lock a control. It alerts whoever the port has decided, with the camera, the minute and the video. Stopping the lift is always the crane driver's or the lift supervisor's decision. What the camera does is make sure that person knows while the load is still in the air.
How is the area under the load marked out?
It is drawn on the camera image. Somebody from the port traces the crane's working area and the margin around it, and that shape is the rule. Nothing needs painting on the ground and no sensor needs installing. If the crane moves or the lift happens at another point on the quay, the area is redrawn on the camera and the rule applies again.
Does this work at night or in bad weather?
It depends on the camera, not on IRIS. With a camera that sees well at night, the detection works at night. In thick fog, heavy rain or with a floodlight glaring straight into the lens, a camera sees worse, and that has to be said. Where the operation never stops, several angles are combined and the right equipment is chosen; even so, there are conditions in which the image is not enough.

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.
- Checks the whole system
- Flags what is failing
- Puts it on one screen
Next step
How long before somebody comes down that corridor at four in the morning?
13 cases: 12 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
Video tells you what happened.An alert reaches you while it is happening.
Reviewing the recording helps you explain. Hearing about it at the time helps you get there. Two different things, and until now you only had the first.
