Restricted zone monitoring

Machine cells, energized areas, and exclusion perimeters enforced automatically, every minute they matter.

The problem

Why it keeps happening.

Signs, barriers, and lockout procedures define restricted areas, but they cannot see anyone step past them. Incidents in machine cells and energized zones are low-frequency and high-severity, which makes continuous vigilance both essential and impossible to staff.

Zone incursions are also the classic audit finding: policies exist, but there is no record of how often they are breached or what happened next.

The rule

Written the way you'd say it.

In plain English
“Alert security if someone enters the restricted area without authorization.”

How it runs

  1. 01

    Draw the zones on your camera views

    Restricted areas are marked directly on each existing camera view: machine cells, crane radii, energized bays, blast perimeters.

  2. 02

    Tie rules to time and permits

    Zones can be always-on or scheduled: enforced during blasting windows, relaxed during maintenance with an active permit-to-work.

  3. 03

    Alert with the right urgency

    A person entering a machine cell escalates immediately; a contractor drifting into a staging area may only notify the supervisor. Escalation tiers match your policy.

  4. 04

    Record every event, sealed

    Each incursion produces a timestamped, sealed clip with an explanation: the record your investigations and audits currently lack.

Measure

What's measured.

  • Entries per zone, with time inside
  • Entries outside permit windows
  • Response time to each incursion

What it’s worth

  • Prevention of the highest-severity incident categories on site
  • Deterministic enforcement in place of intermittent human vigilance
  • A complete incursion record for audits and investigations
  • Permit-window automation that removes manual zone babysitting

Estimate your ROI for your own operation, in about two minutes.

Comply

The evidence.

  • A clip and frame of the event, sealed with the device’s own key the moment it happens
  • The rule that fired, the zone and camera, and the time
  • The vision-language model’s verdict on the alert, with its reason
  • Who saw it, who acted, and when, in the audit log

Common questions

Can zones follow a schedule?

Yes. Rules follow shift schedules, time windows and site calendars, so a zone can apply during blasting hours, after dark or outside maintenance windows.

How precise are the zone boundaries?

Zones are polygons drawn on each camera view, so they follow the real shape of the area: a crane radius, a cell outline, a platform edge.
