Problem Statement

Critical surveillance and safety challenges in hazardous chemical operations

Personnel attentiveness issues Managing large-scale infrastructure with multiple CCTVs proved highly labor-intensive, leading to oversight of critical safety hazards and operational inefficiencies
Delayed response times Incidents like accidents, equipment malfunctions, and unauthorized access risked safety and led to unaccounted damages or security breaches
Evidence management complexity Enforcing daily compliance for security and safety while managing evidence effectively for reviews became a highly time-consuming activity
Specific operational risks Field operators neglecting safety gear in life-threatening environments, theft of precious materials, idle trucks creating bottlenecks, smartphone-distracted personnel, and unsafe forklift operations
