The Scope
ITP delivered a computer vision–based safety solution to automatically detect unauthorized presence in hazardous and restricted areas across industrial environments.
The Problem
In industrial and production facilities, workers and visitors may unintentionally or deliberately enter restricted or hazardous zones. These incidents can:
- Create serious health and safety risks
- Disrupt production workflows
- Increase the likelihood of equipment damage
- Lead to regulatory and compliance issues
The lack of a clear monitoring system leads to inaccurate tracking of working hours, resulting in productivity losses and higher contractor settlement costs.
The Solution
ITP implemented computer vision solution that continuously tracks the movement of people within predefined zones.
The solution includes:
- Automated detection of people entering hazardous areas
- Configurable definition and management of hazard zones
- Monitoring of presence during metal plate processing
- Accurate recording of actual working hours
- Historical video analysis for case review
The system operates continuously and integrates with existing video infrastructure.
The Outcome
The implemented solution enabled the organization to:
- Accurate accounting of employee working hours
- Reduced productivity losses and labor cost discrepancies
- Improved transparency in contractor settlements
- Clear audit trail through historical video records
Key Takeaways
Computer vision enables real-time enforcement of safety zones and improves situational awareness across industrial environments. Automated detection reduces dependence on physical barriers and manual supervision, making safety controls more scalable and effective. Configurable zones allow the solution to adapt easily to changing layouts and operational conditions. Historical video analytics support incident investigation, compliance reviews, and continuous safety improvement.
