Intrusion & Zone Monitoring
Detect approaches to serious accident hazard zones in real time,
without cameras, and block them preemptively.
Target Customers
• Manufacturing plant and production facility operators
• Logistics center and large warehouse operators
• Construction site and industrial complex safety management departments
• Occupational health and safety organizations responsible for compliance with the Serious Accidents Punishment Act
Challenges
• No means to block workers in real time when they approach hazardous equipment areas such as presses, cranes, and conveyors
• Hazard zones, restricted zones, and boundaries cannot be controlled continuously, exposing operations to serious accident risk
• The dilemma that installing cameras creates a privacy burden while not installing them leaves blind spots unaddressed
Existing Limitations
• Physical barriers and signs only provide control and have no real-time approach detection or alert function
• CCTV is unsuitable for continuous monitoring because of privacy burden and occlusion and lighting issues
• Conventional PIDS (fence detection) produces many false alarms at night and in bad weather, reducing reliability
Solution Approach
• Define hazard areas as 3D virtual zones with LiDAR and raise an immediate alert on intrusion
• Apply independent rules to multiple zones to classify and track objects (no video collected)
• Determine approach, exit, and dwell in real time and link to equipment shutdown and warning lights
• Cover wide areas without blind spots through multi-LiDAR fusion
• Avoid privacy issues with 3D de-identified data
Expected Benefits
• Preemptively block serious accidents and unauthorized entry
• Consistent detection performance 24/7 and in all weather
• Eliminate privacy burden through 3D de-identification
• Improve recurring hazardous sections by accumulating approach history
