Worker & Machine Safety — washdown floors, guarded lines and clear exits

Food plants combine wet floors, fast conveyors, cold rooms and refrigerant systems. Fogsphere detects the hazards those conditions create and logs each one with the clip that shows it.

Safety

PPE, wet floors, manual handling and lone workers across the production floor.

Security

Machine-area intrusion, unsafe interaction and emergency-stop accessibility on running lines.

Operational Intelligence

Guarding state, intervention frequency and a machine safety compliance score over time.

How Fogsphere sees the production floor

A live safety layer on top of the cameras already covering your lines, walkways and plant rooms.

People and movement hazards

Where people get hurt on a food and beverage site

PPE by area and task

PPE compliance checked per area and task, including cold-store clothing, cut-resistant gloves and hearing protection in high-noise zones.

Wet floors, slips and trips

Washdown and sanitation create persistent slip exposure. Wet floors, standing water, spills and blocked walkways are flagged as they appear.

Manual handling and ergonomics

Unsafe lifting, excessive reach and bend, repetitive-motion risk and team-lift omission across packing and palletising.

Working at height

Ladder misuse, work at unprotected edges, platform access and harness use around silos, tanks and mezzanines.

Lone workers and worker down

Lone-worker presence in cold stores and plant rooms, SOS events and worker-down detection.

Forklift and pedestrian proximity

Forklift-pedestrian proximity, vehicle speed, wrong-way movement and restricted-area entry in the warehouse and yard.

Machine safety

Guards, pinch points and interventions on a running line

Guarding state

Missing machine guards, open guards and guard bypass on fillers, cappers, slicers, wrappers and palletisers.

Machine-area intrusion

Workers entering hazardous machine areas, personnel inside robotic cells and unexpected presence during automated operation.

Unsafe interaction

Hands approaching pinch points, unsafe conveyor interaction and reaching into running equipment.

Maintenance and jam clearing

Maintenance while equipment is active and unsafe intervention during jams — the two moments most line injuries cluster around.

Emergency-stop accessibility

Blocked machine access and obstructed emergency-stop devices, flagged against the layout you configured.

Machine safety compliance score

A per-line score that shows which assets generate repeat violations rather than which shift reported them.

Emergency management

Fire, refrigerant leaks and getting everyone accounted for

Fire and smoke

Fire and smoke detection across production, packaging, warehouse and plant rooms, correlated with door and occupancy state.

Gas and refrigerant leaks

Ammonia and refrigerant alerts from LoRaWAN sensors, correlated with worker location for refrigeration-heavy plants.

Escape routes and exits

Escape-route obstruction, emergency-exit monitoring and blocked fire doors, flagged as they occur rather than at the next walk-round.

E-mustering and headcount

Personnel headcount, worker location, muster-area occupancy, evacuation progress, missing-person detection and unauthorised re-entry.

Applications you’ll use

Application clusters behind this focus area

Machine & Equipment Safety

Guard state, guard bypass, pinch-point reach and intervention while a line is still running.

Vehicle & Traffic Movement

Forklift speed, wrong-way movement, blocked aisles and forklift-pedestrian proximity in the warehouse.

Housekeeping & Hygiene

Spills, wet floors, standing water, drain condition, waste accumulation and blocked egress by area.
