Camera input
Capture the machine boundary and pedestrian approach together.
A person close to a machine in an image may be separated in depth or working under an authorized maintenance condition. Assess a defined region and any required calibration before treating proximity as a safety concern.
Catalog workflow. Detector availability, scene suitability and event delivery must be verified for the proposed deployment. Camera observations supplement human review and established safety procedures.
Discuss this workflow

The Process
Define the clearance before assessing the image Focus attention on an assessed machine clearance.
Capture the machine boundary and pedestrian approach together.
Validate the chosen zone or calibrated distance method.
Review the person’s position and the machine’s known work state.
Supervisor checks separation and manages access under the local procedure.
Illustrative demonstration
Example footage and simulated events explain the review workflow. They do not measure detector performance.
No matching events.
EXPLORE WHAT’S POSSIBLE
01 / 04 · UNSAFE PROXIMITY TO MACHINERY
Staff pass close to a controlled work envelope.
Example event: A person enters the assessed clearance region.
Operator response: Lead checks access and operating state.
Practical value: Focused separation review.
Discuss this capability02 / 04 · UNSAFE PROXIMITY TO MACHINERY
Workers approach to inspect jams.
Example event: A person remains near the transfer hazard.
Operator response: Supervisor initiates the approved check.
Practical value: Context for safe intervention.
Discuss this capability03 / 04 · UNSAFE PROXIMITY TO MACHINERY
Pedestrian routes run near equipment.
Example event: A person crosses the agreed boundary.
Operator response: Area lead redirects access if necessary.
Practical value: Better route oversight.
Discuss this capability04 / 04 · UNSAFE PROXIMITY TO MACHINERY
Use a stable view of the floor and machine boundary.
Visibility: Perspective and raised platforms can distort apparent distance.
Configuration: Validate calibration or clearly defined camera-relative zones.
Privacy: Avoid using proximity findings as automatic disciplinary judgments.
Human review: Confirm physical separation, machine state and authorized task.
Discuss this capabilityFrequently asked questions
Reviews people approaching a defined clearance region around machinery.
Only if a suitable calibrated method is verified for the scene.
Not necessarily; operating-state evidence must be separately established.
No. Review authorization and the machine condition.
No. It is supplemental observation, not a protective safety function.
