PPEyeAI

See Safety Gear in Real Time

Workers without proper PPE (hard hats, vests, etc.) are at serious risk, but manual monitoring across large sites is impractical.

Overview

PPEye AI applies computer vision to jobsite cameras, automatically checking that personnel wearing the required safety equipment. The system recognizes multiple PPE items helmets, high-visibility vests, goggles, gloves, and more on live video streams. When someone is detected without proper gear in a designated hazard area, instant alerts are sent (audio alarms, SMS, app notifications) to supervisors and the worker. This ensures missing helmets or vests are caught immediately, greatly reducing safety incidents and compliance violations.

Challenges

  • Scale of monitoring: Large or multiple mine sites make continuous human vigilance impossible.
  • Variety of PPE: Different gear types must be tracked simultaneously.
  • Enforcement delay: Manual checks only catch violations after the fact.

Solution

  • AI vision covers all camera feeds 24/7 without fatigue, ensuring no violations slip through.
  • The platform is trained to detect each PPE category (helmets, vests, etc.) in real time.
  • Automated alerts enable immediate correction, preventing accidents.

Key Features

1

Multi-PPE Detection

AI models identify helmets, vests, goggles, gloves, and more, flagging any missing items in real time.
2

Instant Alerts

When a violation is detected, the system can trigger sirens, send SMS/WhatsApp/Teams messages, or email reports to the safety team.
3

Zone Enforcement

Define specific high-risk zones (e.g. construction areas) where PPE is mandatory, while ignoring cameras in safe zones.
4

Analytics Dashboard

Visualize compliance trends, track frequent offenders, and generate audit reports.
5

Seamless Integration

Works with existing IP camera systems and safety infrastructure.

How it works?

Camera Integration

Connect the software to CCTV or mobile cameras covering work areas.

Object Detection

The AI continuously scans video feeds for people and checks for visible PPE.

Compliance Logic

Each individual is evaluated against zone-specific rules (e.g. helmet required).

Alert & Record

Violations trigger immediate alerts, and incidents (with time stamps and video clips) are logged.

Reporting

Compliance statistics and incident logs are compiled for safety audits.

How is PPEyeAI used?

A large mining operation runs PPEye AI on cameras at mine entrances and along high-risk zones. When a truck driver exits a vehicle without a hard hat, an audio alarm sounds and a text alert is sent to the site supervisor within seconds. The worker is stopped and reminded, preventing a potential injury. Daily compliance reports show an immediate increase in PPE adherence.

PPEyeAI safety impact?

Automated PPE monitoring dramatically improves safety compliance. Trials show AI systems can raise helmet-and-vest compliance rates to 98–99% and reduce violation incidents by approximately 80%. This leads to fewer workplace injuries, lower insurance premiums (VisionAI reports around a 15% cost reduction), and fewer regulatory fines. By alerting in real time, the system effectively deters unsafe behavior before accidents occur.
