AI Edge Analytics for
Industrial Safety & HSE

A technical guide to deploying AI-powered video analytics for workplace safety in industrial environments. Covers on-camera processing architecture, HSE-specific functions, privacy compliance, cybersecurity and a step-by-step pilot methodology.

What's inside
  • Edge AI architecture — why processing belongs on the camera
  • PPE Detection — 9 attributes, local model customization
  • Behavioral analysis — running, falling, loitering, smoking in ATEX zones
  • Perimeter protection & people counting
  • Thermal monitoring & fire prevention
  • ANPR & vehicle access control
  • Smart forensic search & privacy masking
  • GDPR, DPIA and workplace surveillance regulations
  • Cybersecurity — encryption, authentication, secure boot
  • ONVIF compatibility & VMS integration
  • Pilot deployment methodology with KPIs

Key takeaways

  • AI analytics run on a dedicated processor inside each camera — no GPU servers, no per-channel licenses
  • PPE detection covers 9 equipment types with 98% accuracy under standard conditions
  • Privacy masking runs in real time while analytics continue beneath the mask
  • The system operates autonomously during network outages — cameras and NVR work independently
  • VMS platforms (Milestone, Genetec) integrate via ONVIF but are not required for HSE functions
  • Includes a structured pilot methodology with measurable KPIs and false-negative assessment
