The goal is to prevent the accident, not to score anyone. Custom-built: we set it up and test it at your plant [Tell us about your line](https://bionicadri.com/en/contacto.html#formulario) · [See all case studies](https://bionicadri.com/en/ia-para-fabricas.html#casos) Forklift area · example **Plant** Aisle B crossing Vehicle and pedestrian close Alert at the crossing itself with a light or a screen. No names or records. Illustrative example ## Six risk situations that can be monitored You draw each area with your prevention manager. The camera only monitors what has been agreed. Custom-built: we set it up and test it at your plant ### EPI Hard hat, high-vis vest or goggles: present or not in an area that requires them. The alert appears in the area and is not linked to anyone by name. Custom-built: we set it up and test it at your plant #### Danger zone occupied Someone enters a marked area, such as a robot's radius or a press, with the machine running. Custom-built: we set it up and test it at your plant #### Forklift close to a pedestrian It measures how close a vehicle and a person are at crossings and walkways, and alerts before contact. Custom-built: we set it up and test it at your plant #### Clear exits and walkways A pallet or boxes blocking an emergency exit or a walkway. Custom-built: we set it up and test it at your plant #### Spill or fallen product on the floor A puddle or product on the floor in a walkway, before someone slips. Custom-built: we set it up and test it at your plant #### On-site alert A light or a screen in the area itself, so that the alert reaches whoever is there at the time rather than a report weeks later. ## From data to the person who can act An alert that does not reach the person who can fix it is no use. That's why we design it back to front. 1. **The camera monitors the area** It looks at a crossing, a marked area or an exit. It does not identify people: it detects that there is a person and where. 2. **Alerts immediately** The alert appears where the risk is: a light, a screen or an alert to the area manager. 3. **Only reports what is necessary** We store the number of alerts per area and shift so that prevention can see where there is more risk. We do not store who it was aimed at. ## What works today and what is custom-built **Everything on this page is custom-built.** Today the product does not include camera-based safety detection. We design it with your prevention service, test it in one area and only expand it if it works. It does not replace the safety measures you already have or those required by your regulations. ## Safety with cameras, with clear rules Monitoring for safety does not exempt you from the rules. We explain how we approach it and what's down to you. Your prevention service and your advisor see it from the start. ### How we approach it - It detects the station, the belt or the area, **not the person**. - **No facial recognition**: the system does not know who anyone is. - **No ranking or scoring** of workers, and no comparing them with each other. - **No inferring emotions**: at work this is a practice prohibited by Article 5 of Regulation (EU) 2024/1689, except for medical or safety reasons. - No sound and no cameras in changing rooms, toilets or canteens. - Images are processed **on your own server**, at the plant or in Europe, and are stored only briefly. What is kept are alerts and figures. ### What's down to you, and we review it with you - **Inform first**, expressly, clearly and concisely, the workforce and, if there are any, their representatives (art. 89 of Organic Law 3/2018). - If there is a works committee, its prior report on work organisation and control systems, and the information on algorithms or AI systems that affect working conditions (art. 64 of the Workers' Statute). - Carry out the **data protection impact assessment** where applicable (art. 35 of the GDPR). - Watch the purpose: an AI system to monitor and evaluate the performance and behaviour of people at work is considered high-risk (Annex III of the Regulation). That's why we don't set it up that way. LOPDGDD art. 89 ET art. 20.3 and 64 GDPR art. 35 Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 art. 5 and Annex III We review it with you and with your employment and data protection adviser. This is not legal advice or a guarantee of compliance: every plant is different. We go into more detail in [Cameras and AI in the factory: what the law allows in Spain](https://bionicadri.com/en/blog/camaras-ia-fabrica-ley-espana.html). ## One line first, then you decide 1. **We choose one risk area** The one that gives the most scares: a forklift crossing, a press, a door. 2. **Camera, rule and alert** We install the camera, set the rule with prevention and decide on site how the alert works. 3. **We fine-tune with prevention** We remove false alarms and decide with your prevention team whether to extend it to other areas. ## What people usually ask us **Does it recognise people?** No. There is no facial recognition or identification. It detects that there is a person and where, not who they are. **Is it used to discipline or score people?** We don't set it up for that: there's no ranking or scoring of workers and we don't store who each alert was aimed at. How the system is used is agreed by you with your workforce and their representatives, and we review it with you. **Does it detect tiredness or mood?** No. Inferring emotions at work is a practice prohibited by Regulation (EU) 2024/1689. We only monitor physical risk situations: an area, a distance, a piece of protective equipment. **Does it replace a certified safety system?** No. It's an additional alert. Your machine safeguards and your prevention plan stay exactly as they are. ## More on this topic ### [All use cases](https://bionicadri.com/en/ia-para-fabricas.html) The twenty-odd use cases, by area of the plant and with their label.
