Near-miss detection

Detection and indexing of close calls before they become reportable incidents.

What it means

Near-miss detection identifies events where people, vehicles, or hazards came close enough to reveal a repeat safety pattern. In warehouses, that often means forklift conflict, blocked walkways, sudden stops, or unsafe crossings.

Why it matters

Close calls often disappear after the shift. Turning them into clips and records gives safety teams a way to fix repeat zones before an injury happens.

Evaluation questions

How is a near miss defined for the pilot?

Can events be grouped by zone, shift, and camera?

Can supervisors review clips without searching raw footage manually?
