The Next Step in Site Safety and Efficiency
At Time & People, we’ve spent years helping organizations take control of their compliance and visitor management with MRI OnLocation. Today, we are thrilled to announce the next major step in our partnership with MRI Software: Time & People is now bringing MRI OnLocation Footfall Analytics to our customers in the manufacturing, warehousing, and heavy industrial sectors.
Knowing exactly who is on your site is a critical safety and compliance mandate. But for complex, high-risk environments, standard Visitor Management Systems (VMS) only solve half the puzzle. What happens once a contractor or employee steps beyond the turnstile?
Visibility Beyond the Front Gate
Historically, facility and health and safety managers have relied on static sign-in data to estimate site occupancy. But on a sprawling manufacturing floor or a multi-zone warehouse, people move constantly. By integrating MRI Footfall Analytics, site managers gain a dynamic, living map of their facility in real-time.
This isn’t about tracking individuals; it’s about understanding movement, volume, and behavior. With this new technology, you can:
- Track Zone Occupancy: Understand exactly how many people are in a specific, high-risk zone at any given time.
- Identify Traffic Flows: Spot bottlenecks in warehouse aisles, busy loading docks, or production floors to improve operational flow and reduce accident risks.
- Enhance Emergency Accuracy: In the event of an evacuation, safety wardens aren’t just relying on who scanned an ID badge at 8:00 AM; they have a real-time count of zone occupancy to ensure everyone is safe.
Hardware Made Simple: No Need to “Rip and Replace”
One of the most exciting aspects of MRI Footfall Analytics is how easy it is to implement. You don’t need to install hundreds of new, expensive cameras. The system utilizes specialized AI appliances that plug directly into your existing camera network. Once the software is configured and the counting zones are drawn, the video feeds can be turned off entirely—the system tracks anonymous, pixelated shapes, ensuring total privacy while delivering incredibly precise data.
Proactive, Not Reactive, Compliance
When you combine MRI Footfall Analytics with your robust Time & People contractor management processes, you shift from reactive reporting to proactive safety. Through our integration with systems like MRI Evolution, a sudden surge in foot traffic in a restricted zone or a worker missing critical PPE (like a hard hat or high-vis vest) can trigger instant SMS alerts and automatically generate logged, closed-loop work orders.
Understanding foot traffic isn’t just about measuring volume; it’s about context. We are incredibly excited to bring MRI Footfall Analytics to our customers, turning standard compliance requirements into powerful tools for operational safety and efficiency.
MRI Footfall is part of the product suite that includes MRI OnLocation, MRI Evolution and MRI Energy.
