Use cases

One camera network for security, safety and operations.

The same cameras that guard your gates also check PPE, spot smoke, keep forklifts and people apart, measure productivity and back up your stock counts. Every use case below has a live demonstration.

What it will deliver

Four outcomes from the cameras you already own.

Every vehicle and visitor logged with number plate, face and time-stamped video

Real-time alerts for PPE violations, intrusion, smoke and flame, theft and unsafe forklift movement

Productivity dashboards: line occupancy, idle time, queues and space-utilisation heatmaps

Video-verified dispatches, stock-yard monitoring and audit support for stock-taking

Security & business use cases

Capabilities

Ten more capabilities, one TakEdge Gateway.

Hover over a card to play the demonstration, or open it to scrub the timeline and inspect the saved evidence.

Edge deep learning

Human and vehicle classification on the TakEdge Gateway cuts false alarms by more than 90%. Alerts keep working even if servers or the internet fail.

ANPR / LPR

Reads Indian number plates, including two-line plates, day and night at up to 60 km/h. Whitelist, blacklist and visitor modes.

Face recognition

Watchlist and VIP alerts at gates and reception, with 1:N matching on premises. Opt-in and DPDP-governed.

PPE detection

Helmet, vest, shoes, gloves and respirator, with zone-wise rules. Violation snapshots go straight to EHS.

Video fire and smoke

Detects visible smoke and flame in seconds in high-bay and outdoor areas, and supplements the fire alarm.

Perimeter intelligence

Line-crossing, intrusion and loitering, with PTZ auto-track hand-off and PA voice warnings.

Counting and heatmaps

Occupancy, queue length, dwell and movement heatmaps for productivity and space planning.

Forklift and pedestrian

Speeding, no-entry and human-in-forklift-path proximity alerts in marked aisles.

Object left or removed

Unattended-object and object-removal detection for stores, scrap yards and dispatch.

AI-powered search

Search by attribute or in plain language for a person or vehicle by colour, type or plate, across all cameras in seconds.

Safety & EHS

Fewer incidents, and proof for every audit.

Safety programmes built from the same detectors, with snapshots to the EHS team and scorecards for leadership.

PPE compliance
  • Zone-wise rules: helmet and shoes on the shop floor, plus glasses in machining, respirator and suit in the paint shop
  • Violation snapshot to the EHS officer’s phone within seconds, and a weekly compliance scorecard by department
  • Repeat-offender analytics for targeted toolbox talks
Forklift and pedestrian
  • Speed-zone monitoring in marked aisles and no-entry violations
  • Human-in-path proximity alert to the control room, with an optional cab buzzer
  • Near-miss video library for safety training
Fire and emergency
  • Video smoke and flame analytics in high-bay shops, warehouses, paint shops, scrap yards and utilities: visible smoke detected in seconds where point detectors take minutes
  • Fire-alarm panel integration: any FAS zone alarm brings up the nearest cameras on the video wall
  • Blocked fire-exit and extinguisher-obstruction detection, and hydrant-access monitoring
  • Evacuation support: people counted at assembly points against the shift headcount
Behaviour and wellbeing
  • Man-down and fall detection in low-traffic zones such as utilities, yards and night shifts
  • Restricted-area entry (HT room, chemical store) with instant alerts
  • Smoking in no-smoking zones, and housekeeping and spill flags on walkways

Compliance note: Video analytics is an early-warning aid. Statutory fire detection and suppression under NBC/IS codes and the applicable Factories Rules (such as the Gujarat Factories Rules) remains the certified fire alarm system. The two are integrated, not substituted.

Productivity, warehousing & stock-taking

The same cameras double as an operations-analytics sensor network.

Productivity analytics
  • Workstation and line occupancy: manned versus idle time by shift, trended weekly
  • Cycle-time sampling and time-motion video evidence for IE and kaizen studies
  • Movement heatmaps that reveal layout bottlenecks and unsafe shortcuts
  • Queue analytics at the canteen, time office and stores counter for staggered-break planning
  • Training-room and meeting-room utilisation reports
  • Exception dashboards for plant leadership as aggregate KPIs, with no live people-watching (DPDP-aligned)
Warehouse and stock-taking support
  • Aisle-wise recording with corridor mode and a fisheye overview: a full put-away and pick audit trail
  • Video-verified receipts and dispatches: each clip auto-linked to its GRN or invoice number through a one-way ERP feed
  • Stock-yard PTZ preset tours every 30 minutes, with AI flagging volumetric change in coil and casting stacks
  • Cycle-count support: auditors replay aisle video to resolve book-versus-physical disputes
  • Object-removal alerts on high-value racks after hours
  • Dock management: door occupancy, truck dwell and loading-completion timestamps
