The loading bay during a delivery
The loading bay, seen from a high camera. A lorry has been reversed in with its side open and a member of staff is moving boxes at the tail. On the right, a forklift is coming out of one of the bays with a pallet, and boxes are already stacked next to the gate. In the middle of the manoeuvring area, marked out on the ground with yellow lines, a person is standing with the delivery note in hand. This is the area that, while the manoeuvre lasts, has its own rules.

What IRIS understands
What it recognises in this scene
- person on foot in the manoeuvre
- delivery lorry
- staff at the tail
- forklift
- unloaded pallets
The rule
You decide once. IRIS applies it always.
If
a delivery is under way and someone appears on foot inside the marked area, or prison clothing enters it
Then
- alert the officer in charge of the bay with the camera and the exact spot
- ask for the manoeuvre to stop until the area is clear
- log the time of entering and leaving the area, for the delivery record
The instruction that set it up«While a lorry is unloading, alert me to anyone on foot inside the manoeuvring area, and alert me the moment prison clothing enters that zone.»
What changes
What changes for whoever answers for the facility
The loading bay is a classic way out: it is the place where a large gate opens, a vehicle from outside comes in and there are boxes on the ground. The rule is simple, and the facility writes it: while the manoeuvre lasts, no person in custody may be in that area. Today that is enforced by watching, and whoever is watching is also counting pallets, signing the delivery note and talking to the driver. With IRIS the area watches itself for the whole manoeuvre, alerts while the gate is still open and logs the time of every entry and exit. No drama: just an area that is watched for the twenty minutes that matter.
What people usually ask
How does IRIS tell a person in custody from someone working there?
By the clothing, in the same way a building site can see whether someone is wearing a helmet. IRIS does not know who that person is and does not try to: it sees that inside the manoeuvring area there is clothing that should not be there, and says so. If the clothing cannot be seen clearly — back turned, a coat over the top, against the light — the alert still fires as a person on foot inside the zone, and whoever receives it decides. It is a distinction between garments, not between people: there is no name anywhere.
What if the facility wants the area completely clear?
Then that is how it is set, and that is that. The facility writes the rule: you can ask for nobody on foot inside the area during the manoeuvre, or no more than two people, or nobody crossing the yellow line while the forklift is moving, or only the clothing rule. You also decide the hours it applies, because a loading bay does not work the same at seven in the morning as it does mid-afternoon. We bring no factory-set rule of our own.
Does this leave a record of who was on the bay?
No. IRIS identifies nobody and cannot be used to sanction a particular person. What remains is the time someone entered the area and the time they left, together with the video of those minutes: a situation, not a person. No faces are recognised, no plates are read, there is no database of who is who and no record is kept on anyone. If the facility needs to know who was there, it knows from its own duty records, which is where that information belongs.
Simulation · how IRIS works
You set the rule once. IRIS applies it every time.
You will see a summary of the interface, played step by step and hands-free. Each round starts with another case. The complete tool does not fit in a demo.
- The alert fires
- You open it
- You confirm or dismiss
Next step
Who sees the child who has fallen at the far end of the playground?
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.
Who is watching a site where there is almost never anybody?
44 cases, and in every one of them IRIS raises an alert when something happens. You see each image as it is, and then with what it understands on top.
And the best part
“The white van, Tuesday afternoon.”That is enough to find it.
You type it the way you would tell a colleague, and the matching minutes come back, each with its camera and its time. You do not need to remember the exact moment.
