As industries transition to more advanced and automated operations, safety risks in high-risk zones are becoming a growing concern. With rising workplace hazards, businesses worldwide are prioritizing proactive measures to safeguard their workforce and reduce costly incidents. According to recent surveys, over 39% of organizations now place safety at the top of their operational agenda. In response, emerging technologies like Computer Vision (CV) are transforming traditional safety strategies. By empowering Environment, Health & Safety (EHS) services with real-time monitoring and automation, computer vision is driving a significant shift in how safety is managed, especially in red zones, the most critical areas within industrial facilities. Understanding Computer Vision & Red Zone Monitoring Computer Vision in Industrial Safety is transforming how industries manage risk and protect their workforce. As a field of artificial intelligence, computer vision processes visual data fro...

Every year thousands of Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) products are recalled due to packaging seal failure. In industries like food, pharmaceuticals, and consumer goods, the integrity of seals is important because it affects the safety of the product, its shelf and consumption life, and consumer confidence. A single defect in packaging can cause contamination or tampering, resulting in costly product recalls. The inspection of packaging has typically been carried out manually. Manual inspections expose manufacturers to errors, create scalability and efficiency barriers, and are generally more costly to execute. Manufacturers are increasingly using Computer Vision AI for FMCG packaging inspections to combat these challenges with automated seal inspection in place of relying on human judgement. Standard quality control is established with automated inspection and that also limits operational risk. This blog discusses how Vision AI is improving quality management in FMCG packaging and...

Forklifts are essential equipment in workplaces “moving things” including thousands of manufacturing plants and millions of retail storerooms by moving heavy goods and equipment through facilities, warehouses, factories, and distribution centres, which in turn enable businesses to maximize storage and keep things running smoothly.  However, forklifts are useful, but they are also dangerous. Not surprisingly, every year forklifts are responsible for injuries in the workplace environment and putting operations on hold. In an environment like this, nothing should be taken for granted for safety standards. As complex industrial facilities advance but encounter emerging hurdles, businesses will seek intelligent systems equipped to help reduce and eliminate risks with little or no human intervention.  One of the exciting solutions which appears to be on the horizon is the Forklift Accident Avoidance System featuring computer vision and AI Video analytics software. The combination o...

Each year, thousands of Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) items are recalled due to packaging seal failures. The integrity of packaging seals is vital in sectors like food, pharmaceuticals, and general packaging. A product’s shelf life is directly linked to the strength and quality of its seal. When seals fail, it affects not only product safety but also consumer trust and brand reputation. To ensure product integrity, packaging must undergo thorough quality checks before distribution. Even the smallest defect in sealing can lead to contamination, tampering, and spoilage. If contamination affects an entire batch, it may trigger an urgent consumer recall and cause severe financial and reputational losses. Traditionally, manual inspections have been used for packaging quality control. However, these inspections are prone to human error, limit scalability, and increase operational costs. This has led to a shift toward inspection automation. As the demand for consumer goods surges, FMCG ma...
