AIQ, an organisation focused on driving AI-powered transformation across industries, will elevate health and safety monitoring for industrial sites through a new collaboration with Milestone Systems, one of the largest providers of video management software in the world.
SMARTi is an award-winning Intelligent Operational Safety Monitoring solution developed by AIQ to be applied with Milestone’s XProtect VMS platform. This AIQ’s product delivers AI-enabled, real-time active monitoring of industrial facilities and work sites, enhancing operational safety.
In doing so, AIQ will be able to scale the product seamlessly across industries and markets. The collaboration also focuses on optimising hybrid infrastructures, maximising the efficiency of edge and cloud computing for the sophisticated processing of video and sensor data.
Leveraging SMARTi’s AI capabilities for environmental monitoring as well as achieving rigorous compliance with environmental standards, detecting and analysing potential hazards, and streamlining emergency response actions.
SMARTi was developed to improve health and safety in industrial environments, by using AI-enabled computer vision of the existing CCTV feeds for intelligent monitoring, detection and reporting of safety protocol violations and incidents. The AI application utilises existing video systems combined with analytics to detect PPE compliance, behavioural safety, and incident detection, with automated reporting to a central command app. It is currently deployed and makes more than 1 billion predictions a day for AIQ’s clients.
