"AI Notifies of Forklift Approaches"...Polaris AI Completes First Delivery of Industrial Safety AI Solution

Polaris AI has completed the first deployment of its industry safety-specialized Vision Artificial Intelligence (Vision AI) solution, "POLARIS EYE," and is now entering the industrial site AI safety management market in earnest.

Polaris AI announced on the 31st that it has completed the installation of 16 channels of "POLARIS EYE" at the Balan plant of its affiliate Polaris AI Pharma in Hwaseong, Gyeonggi Province, and has started full-scale operations.

POLARIS EYE is a solution in which AI analyzes video from the existing CCTV installed at worksites to detect hazardous situations in real time. It interlinks with existing video infrastructure without the need to replace cameras, thereby reducing the initial investment burden and improving onsite applicability. The system detects hazards such as whether workers are wearing personal protective equipment like safety helmets and vests and identifies entrance into restricted areas. In the event of an abnormal situation, it immediately alerts both the manager and the workers.

This deployment at the Polaris AI Pharma site adopted an on-premise configuration in which an on-site edge server analyzes CCTV footage directly. By processing large volumes of video data internally instead of transferring it to an external cloud, this arrangement reduces the risk of production facility footage leaking outside and enables real-time response to hazards with less dependence on the network environment.

Polaris AI provides industrial safety AI deployment services tailored to the number of CCTV channels, budget, and other customer requirements, proposing edge server-based on-premise systems for large-scale sites requiring centralized monitoring and industrial PC-based on-device systems for small sites or individual equipment and process units.

A representative from Polaris AI stated, "This deployment serves as the first commercial case of POLARIS EYE being operated at an actual pharmaceutical manufacturing site and acts as a reference that proves the usability of an industrial safety AI system processing video data internally. We plan to build a product lineup that includes both on-premise AI and on-device AI in order to deliver industrial safety AI solutions optimized for facility size and security environment."
