Your factory floor near Hosur already has CCTV cameras covering every section, installed years ago for security. What most plants have not done is point AI at that same footage to check something else entirely: whether workers are wearing helmets and safety gear, and whether anyone is standing somewhere they should not be. The cameras are already there; this is about using them for a second purpose.
Signs you need this
- Safety checks today depend on a supervisor walking the floor and remembering to look, which means gaps between rounds.
- You have had near-misses or actual incidents in areas that were, in hindsight, clearly unsafe at the time.
- Proving compliance to an auditor means digging through paper registers rather than a clear record.
- New workers and contractors on the floor do not yet know every restricted area by habit, the way long-serving staff do.
What a good system does
- Watches your existing camera feeds and flags missing helmets, vests or other required gear in real time.
- Alerts a supervisor immediately, rather than showing up only in a report the next day.
- Flags people in restricted zones, near moving machinery, forklift paths, or areas under maintenance.
- Keeps a time-stamped record for audits, without anyone needing to review hours of footage by hand.
What it costs you
If your cameras already cover the floor well, this adds software on top of what you have, not new hardware; the main cost is checking that camera angles and quality are good enough for reliable detection, and improving a few if they are not. It does not replace a safety officer; it means the officer's attention goes to the actual flagged moments instead of watching continuously.
Questions to ask any vendor
- Does this work with our existing cameras, or does it need new hardware?
- How does it perform in poor lighting or with cameras covering large, crowded areas?
- Who sees the footage and alerts, only our safety team, or does the vendor also have access?
- What is the false alarm rate, and how is it tuned down over time?
How we can help
Pulse reads your existing CCTV for PPE compliance and restricted-zone alerts, and gives your safety team a live dashboard instead of a walk-around. We can run it against a sample of your own camera footage to show what it actually catches. See our work across factories, or talk to us.
