No Need to “Rip and Replace” One of the biggest hurdles for manufacturing and warehousing facilities looking to upgrade their safety protocols is the dreaded hardware rollout. However, modern footfall and occupancy analytics don’t require you to install hundreds of new cameras. By connecting a specialized AI appliance directly to your existing camera network, you can instantly turn passive video feeds into active, real-time data generators.
Privacy by Design When facility managers hear “camera analytics,” the immediate concern is often privacy and data security. The latest systems are built to be entirely anonymous. Once the virtual counting lines and zones are mapped out, the actual video feed is turned off completely. The system only registers pixelated shapes—tracking movement, dwell times, and volumes without ever identifying the individual human being.
Active Safety: PPE and Restricted Zones Real-time occupancy data is powerful, but applying AI rules to that data is where industrial sites truly benefit. Imagine an automated system that works 24/7 to keep your contractors safe:
- PPE Detection: The system can detect if a worker enters a loading dock without a hard hat or hi-vis vest, immediately triggering an alert.
- Zone Breaches: Get instant SMS notifications if a person steps outside of a prescribed safe walkway and into an active forklift lane.
- Fallen Person Alerts: For lone workers in isolated zones or 24-hour facilities, the system can detect if a person has fallen and remained motionless for a set period, instantly notifying first responders.
The Evolution of the System of Record For complex sites, this data becomes infinitely more valuable when tied to your existing work order systems. When the system detects a safety breach, it doesn’t just send a text message; it pushes a workflow directly into platforms like MRI Evolution. This automatically opens and logs a task, creating a flawless, automated system of record without adding a single minute of admin time to your facility manager’s day.
MRI Footfall is part of the product suite that includes MRI OnLocation, MRI Evolution and MRI Energy.
