Company implements Detect AI for real-time safety monitoring and operational efficiency
Hindustan Zinc Limited has deployed Detect AI, an advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI)-powered surveillance system, across its operations. This pioneering technology enhances workplace safety, operational efficiency, and compliance monitoring.
The AI-driven safety monitoring system integrates seamlessly with the company’s existing IoT (Internet of Things)-enabled surveillance infrastructure, reducing the need for manual intervention. Utilizing real-time image and video analytics, deep learning models, and edge computing, the system autonomously detects unsafe industrial practices, including non-compliance with protective equipment guidelines, unauthorized personnel access, and work-at-height protocols. Through predictive analytics and cloud-based AI inference engines, Detect AI categorizes safety risks and triggers automated alerts, generating data-driven insights to prevent incidents.
“The implementation of this technology positions us ahead of the industry curve, integrating innovative solutions for manufacturing excellence.”
Arun Misra, CEO of Hindustan Zinc Limited.
Hindustan Zinc has been at the forefront of leveraging Industry 4.0 technologies, including Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), computer vision, drone technology, IoT, and Augmented Reality/Virtual Reality (AR/VR).
