1. What is AI Safety?

AI Safety Monitoring is a safety system that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze factory camera footage in real time. Unlike traditional cameras that only “record,” AI can:

• Identify unsafe behavior
• Detect violations of PPE (helmets, reflective vests, safety glasses, etc.)
• Provide immediate warnings when there is a risk of an accident
• Record data for analysis and process improvement

Simply put, while regular cameras record the past, AI Safety can detect and prevent risks in real time.

2. Why do factories need AI Safety Monitoring?

In modern manufacturing environments, where hundreds of workers and machines operate simultaneously, areas such as conveyor belts, robots, or high-temperature zones always pose significant safety risks. However, manual monitoring is unable to cover the entire space or every situation that arises.

This leads to common problems such as: inability to control the entire area, delayed detection of incidents leading to untimely handling, lack of data for analysis and safety improvements, and over-reliance on human factors in the monitoring process.

3. How does AI solve this?

AI helps factories monitor continuously 24/7 without being limited by human intervention, and can detect risks in milliseconds. When an incident occurs, the system will issue real-time warnings via lights, sirens, or dashboards, enabling timely responses. Beyond just warning, AI also stores all data to analyze violation trends, thereby supporting systematic safety improvements.

Therefore, AI is gradually becoming the new standard in smart factories.

V. Modules in an AI Safety System

A complete AI Safety Monitoring system typically includes:

1. PPE Detection

• Detects safety helmets, reflective vests, goggles, and gloves.
• Alerts when PPE is missing.

2. Unsafe Behavior Detection

• Climbing, crossing safety barriers.
• Entering restricted areas.
• Standing too close to operating machinery.

3. Zone Monitoring

• Establishing hazardous zones (ROI).
• Alerts when intruders enter.

4. Vehicle & Forklift Monitoring

• Collision detection.
• Speed/distance monitoring.

5. Alert & Notification System

Alerts via:

• Lights/Sirens
• Dashboard
• Email/SMS

6. Data Analytics & Reporting

Violation statistics by:

• Area
• Time
• Type of behavior

Supports EHS improvements

V. Practical Use Cases in Factories

1. Production Line

• Detecting workers not wearing PPE
• Warning against standing too close to machinery

2. Warehouse & Logistics
