Guard breaches caught the moment they happen.
The Manufacturing pack switches on 37 concerns, 29 detected today. Machine-guard and robot-cell zones raise a critical event on entry, with the action written in.

The challenge
- 01
Guards defeated on changeovers
"The guard on line two gets defeated when the changeover runs late."
- 02
PPE skipped on short jobs
"Gloves and goggles get skipped on the short jobs."
- 03
Panels behind the stock
Electrical panels end up behind pallets of raw material, and nobody notices until an inspection.
A typical event, handled
The camera catches it, the zone rule decides, the owner is told in seconds, and the event closes when the camera sees it cleared.
- Guard zone breached
- E-stop check
What COM8 Vision watches in Manufacturing
- Access Control & ZonesPeople where they should not be: hazard zones, restricted rooms, machine guards, robot cells and confined spaces, each with a named owner.
- Electrical & EnergyOne-metre clearances in front of electrical panels kept clear, and unauthorised people kept away from live equipment.
- PPE & Personal ProtectionPersonal protective equipment checked inside the zones you mark as PPE mandatory, with the event owned by whoever works that zone.
- Emergency ReadinessEmergency exits, escape routes, assembly points and the kit people reach for in an emergency, kept clear and timed when they are not.

The pilot
Live on your own cameras in about three weeks
A paid four-week pilot on about ten cameras, judged on one number your team already cares about: how long the emergency exits stay blocked.
- 01
Day one
Discovery call
A 45-minute call to pick the cameras that matter: exits, vehicle routes, panels and PPE areas, and who owns each one.
- 02
Week 1
IT request
Your IT team creates a read-only account on the recorder and gives the edge box one switch port. No port forwarding, no inbound connections, no recording changes.
- 03
Week 1
Install
Half a day on site. The box is online about ten seconds after the installer runs, and ten cameras take about ten minutes to add.
- 04
Week 1
Zone workshop
Two hours with your HSE lead to draw 10 to 20 zones, each with a named owner. You can redraw them yourself afterwards.
- 05
Weeks 1–2
Shadow mode
Two weeks of events with no alerts, so the zones and thresholds are tuned on your site before anyone gets a notification.
- 06
Week 4
Review
Alerts go live for exactly two concerns, then a one-hour review of blocked minutes, near misses and the scorecards, worst first.
Put your industry pack on your cameras
A four-week pilot on about ten of your existing cameras, with zones drawn and owned by your own team.
Frequently asked questions
No. A pack is a starting point, not a licence boundary. Every concern in the catalogue stays available, nothing is charged per concern, and the score formula is the same in every pack.
A critical event is raised at once for the zone owner, with the action to check the e-stop and retrain the operator. It is timed and scored like every other event.
It depends on the camera distance. Gloves, goggles and masks are validated on your own site during shadow mode, and only switched on where they are reliable.
