Did you know?
Despite all possible measures to ensure operators perform their tasks safely and effectively, human error remains responsible for up to 80% of all quality and safety incidents in the industry.
“Imagine herding a flock of cats in a room full of explosives.” This is the answer I got when I asked a HSE director to explain his responsibilities in more detail. Are you also in HSE and does this ring a bell with you?
The good news is: Innovative AI-technology is here to help lighten your work load.
As a Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) representative in pharmaceutical manufacturing, your task is to keep employees safe and healthy while also protecting the environment. This is no small feat, especially in a setting where hazardous substances are everywhere and dangerous situations can arise out of nowhere.
You are aware of the fact that procedures aimed at minimizing risks for humans and the environment—such as process automation, standard operating procedures, and continuous training—can only be pre-emptive. They are essential, but the unpredictable human element always introduces a degree of risk.
Despite all possible measures to ensure operators perform their tasks safely and effectively, human error remains responsible for up to 80% of all quality and safety incidents in the industry. This staggering statistic underscores the ongoing challenge of mitigating human error and its severe consequences.
Pre-emptive Action vs. Real-time Monitoring and Instant Warnings
DeepEyes AI, a new, privacy-compliant technology can now help to ensure the safety and well-being of your employees and the environment by identifying risks as they happen. Video-based AI anomaly detection will monitor your facilities in real-time, alerting individuals through instant audible or visible warnings when a HSE risk is imminent. With instant alerts and real-time analytics, you, the HSE person in charge, can swiftly identify and respond to any issues, making your daily work more efficient and effective.
Practical Applications of Video-based AI Technology
Video-based AI technology can help mitigate defined safety and health hazards that occur regularly despite clear SOP and training. Some practical examples include:
· Sudden Falls: If an individual suddenly falls to the floor, the AI system will detect the apparent accident/anomaly and alert the relevant personnel immediately, enabling rapid response to potential injuries.
· Trespassing Danger Lines: Should an individual cross into a restricted area or trespass a designated danger line, the system will issue an instant alert to prevent accidents and ensure compliance with safety protocols.
· Overcrowding: The technology can detect when too many persons are in a room, which can pose safety risks, especially in emergencies. It will alert the authorities as well as the individuals themselves to take necessary action to prevent overcrowding.
· Improper Gowning: If an individual enters a critical environment or touches a surface without the required gloves or gowning, the system will recognize the violation and issue an alert. Instant corrections are possible, potential health hazards can be prevented.
By employing video-based AI anomaly detection, you can achieve your HSE goals with greater ease and efficiency. Here’s a glimpse into your future success:
- Enhanced Safety: You’ll be able to identify and prevent potential safety hazards before they occur, ensuring the well-being of your employees and reducing the risk of accidents.
- Crisis Management: Accurate person-counting in buildings will ensure complete evacuation in emergencies, crucial for reducing injury or loss of life during crises.
- Efficiency and Error Reduction: Automating tasks like realtime warnings of potential safety hazards or environmental conditions will save time and reduce the risk of accidents through human error.
Video-based AI anomaly detection is your ticket to a safer and more efficient workplace. By leveraging this novel technology, you will lead your flock of cats safely through most dangers.
Addressing Privacy Concerns
We understand that implementing video-based AI technology may raise privacy concerns. Rest assured, DeepEyes AI technology adheres strictly to European privacy laws, ensuring the utmost protection for individual privacy. The system completely blurs all individuals at all times, guaranteeing that personal identities are never compromised while still providing the necessary data to enhance safety and efficiency.
