Dealer & Service Network — workshops, forecourts and customer areas

Dealerships and service centres put customers, technicians, raised vehicles and high-voltage systems in the same building. Fogsphere detects the overlaps and gives managers a live view of bay productivity.

Safety

Protect people where robots, presses, hot work and pedestrians share the same floor.

Security

Hold the perimeter, the gatehouse, the compounds and every restricted zone.

Operational Intelligence

Read line status, cycle time, bottlenecks and throughput from cameras already in place.

Workshop safety

Lifts, hoists, tyre bays and hot work

Vehicle lifts and hoists

Person under a lift in an unsafe state, lift-zone intrusion and lift not fully cleared before lowering.

Tyre and wheel work

Restricted inflation-cage monitoring, unsafe manual handling and PPE compliance in the tyre bay.

EV and HV service

HV-zone access, electrical PPE detection and battery or HV-area work outside the authorised window.

Hot work and body repair

Welding-mask detection, hot-work zone intrusion, spark and smoke anomalies and paint-booth safety in body shops.

Fluids and chemicals

PPE detection around coolants, oils, brake fluid, adhesives and cleaning chemicals, plus spill-like anomalies and unsafe container storage.

Fire and emergency routes

Blocked exits, fire-door-left-open and extinguisher obstruction across workshop, parts store and customer areas.

Customer and workshop separation

Keeping the public out of the working bays

Customers crossing into the workshop

Customer crossing into the workshop, visitor without escort and restricted-bay intrusion.

Door state at the boundary

Door-left-open between customer and workshop areas, and tailgating at controlled doors.

Visitor PPE

PPE compliance for visitors and contractors entering working bays, checked to the same standard as technicians.

Aggression and escalation

Aggression, crowd formation and forced entry, with a security escalation workflow attached.

Dealer security

Forecourt, keys and high-value parts

Forecourt and after-hours

Loitering, vehicle tampering, under-vehicle activity, perimeter breach and after-hours vehicle movement.

Key and asset security

Restricted key-room access, cabinet or door-left-open, unauthorised dwell near high-value tools and visitor breach.

Parts security

Restricted-storage breach, cage door open, unusual removal and after-hours activity around airbags, ECUs, infotainment units, catalytic converters and tyres.

Camera assurance

Camera obstruction, view shift, lens covering and lighting outage across forecourt, workshop and parts areas.

Service operations intelligence

Bay utilisation, dwell and customer flow

Bay utilisation

Bay occupied or empty, vehicle dwell, technician presence, lift state and queue of vehicles awaiting service.

Rework and repair flow

Rework bay occupancy, vehicle dwell, defect hotspots, repeated returns to rework and repair-stage tracking.

Customer service flow

Queue length, vehicle arrival and departure, reception dwell, handover bay status and valet or handback timing.

Parts logistics

Picking-zone congestion, packing queue, parcel and pallet build-up, wrong-zone storage and dock dwell in parts distribution.
