As computer vision adoption and applications mature, more tools are being developed for the everyday worker. Some have waited for the arrival of this new technology, but many more are still considering how computer vision technology benefits them.

SparkCognition has developed a tool that empowers health and safety managers. With Visual AI Advisor, environmental, health and safety managers can prevent incidents, automate alerts and quantify their impacts without micromanaging workers. Visual AI helps deploy EHS managers’ resources more effectively, easing supervision and reporting requirements. Visual AI Advisor benefits EHS managers by:

• Preventing incidents – a fourfold improvement in workplace safety
• Reporting near misses and unsafe acts – target training can cut incidents by more than half
• Retrieving incidents using filters – save more than 20 monthly manual review hours

Join us to see how other companies are implementing visual AI to prevent the most common workplace injuries. You’ll hear stories about how customers used computer vision to track unsafe acts and near misses, create engineering controls, and reduce major problems for EHS managers. These outcomes benefit companies by reducing EHS costs, improving process uptime and increasing worker morale.
