The ROI of Visual AI for EHS – Unlocking the Power of Data

When

1/25/24 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm CST

Event Description

Sponsored by SparkCognition

In today’s industrial landscape, OSHA programs are the guardians of workplace well-being – safeguarding employees – and productivity. Yet, these programs are often perceived as opaque cost avoidance strategies, especially because quantifying their return on investment is daunting. Still, the direct cost of an average injury is $42,000, with indirect costs ranging from two to 10 times the direct cost, or $80,000-$420,000.

Enter visual artificial intelligence, the technology to clarify cloudy value measurements and key performance indicators. Visual AI uses an organization’s existing cameras to analyze video feeds in real time, identifying everything from a near miss and a man down to a trip hazard or unexpected fire-causing spark. In turn, these insights can be used to measure the effectiveness of new environmental, health and safety initiatives and programs.

Visual AI contributes to the bottom line with:

  • Proactive incident prevention: Visual AI can identify potential hazards, near misses and unsafe conditions before incidents occur.
  • Enhanced safety compliance: By monitoring work areas and operations, visual AI can ensure compliance with safety regulations, standards and protocols.
  • Real-time notification: Ensure key stakeholders are alerted when an incident occurs, providing them with actionable details, including date, time, location and a visual snippet.
  • Augmented best practices: Visual AI works 24/7 and can observe hundreds of video feeds and thousands of frames per second to supplement existing EHS measures and personnel.

    Furthermore, we’ll delve into the broader implications of visual AI, exploring how it enhances ROI across various parts of industrial operations.

    Join us for an enlightening session where we’ll demystify visual AI, offering practical insights to decode the details of EHS ROI measurement. Visual AI is poised to illuminate the path toward improved EHS strategies.
