Maximum Worker Count
Counts how many people are inside a defined area and flags when the count goes above the limit set for that area, that shift or that task.

Occupancy counted against a configured limit
What it detects
Harvested from the computer-vision use-case columns of the Q3 industry papers. Every item below is a rule you can switch on, tune per zone and report on.
People count per zone
Reports a live count for each configured area rather than a single site figure.
Occupancy above the configured maximum
Flags the moment a zone goes over its limit, and how long it stays over.
Excessive occupancy of high-risk areas
Applies tighter limits where the Q3 chemical paper calls for them — process units, turnaround work fronts.
Crowd density and congestion
Detects the build-up of people before it reads as a count breach, using density rather than headcount alone.
Queue length and wait time
Turns the same count into a service measure at tills, gates, checkpoints and reception.
Muster-area occupancy
Counts arrivals at a muster point during a drill and reports the count against the expected figure.
Confined-space entry counts
Reconciles how many entered against how many left.
Waiting-room and public-area capacity
Covers the healthcare and retail cases where the limit is a service standard.
Site occupancy by floor, zone or discipline
Breaks the number down the way a construction or turnaround planner needs it.
Occupancy trend by hour, shift and area
Holds the history, so peaks are a pattern rather than a one-off observation.
Where it applies
The sub-sectors below are the ones the Q3 industry papers name for this detection. Each links to the industry hub.
In Oil & Gas
Confined-space entry on rigs and refineries. Muster-station headcount checked against POB list during drills and emergencies.
How it works
01
Runs on the cameras you already have
Inference happens at the edge on your existing CCTV and IP streams. No new camera estate, no video leaving site, no cloud round-trip in the detection loop.
02
Thresholds and zones you configure
Draw the zone, set the rule, set the dwell, count and confidence thresholds. Rules differ by area, shift and task, because sites do.
03
Evidence, not just alerts
Every event is logged with camera, zone, timestamp and a clip, so the record is reviewable afterwards and usable in a corrective action.
04
Integrates with what you already run
Events push into your VMS, alerting and reporting stack through Fogsphere Manager, with dashboards broken down by area, shift and crew.
Risk & control objective
Occupancy is the one measurement that reads as safety, security and operations at the same time. The Q3 papers use the same count for excessive occupancy of high-risk areas, muster-area headcount during a drill, queue length at a checkpoint and station occupancy on a line — and in every case the manual alternative is a person with a clicker who is not there at the moment the number peaks.
The control objective is a continuous per-zone count with a configurable limit and a history behind it. What the operator gains is a capacity figure they can defend in a permit review, an evacuation record that reconciles against the personnel-on-board list, and a peak-occupancy trend that shows where the site is actually crowded rather than where it feels crowded.
