ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE OPTIMIZATION OF WORK SAFETY MANAGEMENT

Our client is a medium-sized, internationally operating automotive supplier. Company Head Office, Development, Production and Sales are based in Germany.

The state-of-the-art products are unique and used in commercial vehicles, building vehicles and passenger cars worldwide.

THE CHALLANGE

For the company, respect and the responsibility to its employees and their well-being are of paramount importance. A Zero-Accident Strategy is to be implemented for this reason.

All safety precautions must be applied in accordance with the regulations to ensure the protection of workers. Carelessness or failure to comply with the legal protection measures shall be made impossible, health damage shall be strictly avoided.

THE REQUIREMENT

In production, storage and shipping, certain areas may only be accessed with a high-visibility vest and protective helmet. Employees frequently fail to wear both, e.g. following a break or a meeting held outside this security area. Signs are either unintentionally overlooked or intentionally ignored.

This leads to occupational accidents, which the client intends to prevent in future.

The requirement:

  • Only employees wearing both a safety vest and a helmet have access to the protected area.
  • Access will be barred if safety clothing is incomplete.
  • Documentation of Accident Prevention Regulations by video images.

THE GEUTEBRÜCK INDIVIDUAL SOLUTION

The artificial intelligence (AI) based solution for the detection of protective clothing significantly improves work safety.

An interface of the Geutebrück system to the automatic door locking system with traffic lights guarantees an
automatic procedure.

When the AI detects the required protective clothing, the safety area door is automatically unlocked. If the AI detects incomplete protective clothing, the entrance remains locked.
