PPE Detection System
Real-time safety compliance detection for industrial environments at 60fps.
The Problem
Manual PPE compliance checks are infrequent and miss real-time violations. Existing camera systems are passive recorders, not active safety monitors.
Approach
Trained a custom YOLOv8 model on a labeled PPE dataset. Integrated real-time alert pipeline with configurable violation thresholds and zone-based rules.
Architecture
YOLOv8 model fine-tuned on hard-hat, vest, and glove detection. CUDA-accelerated inference pipeline. Zone configuration per camera feed. Alert dispatcher with cooldown logic to prevent alert fatigue.
Results
Real-time PPE compliance monitoring eliminates manual checks — reduces compliance violations caught from hours to seconds. Configurable zone-based rules and sub-100ms alert latency enable immediate corrective action. Alert cooldown prevents fatigue while ensuring critical violations are escalated.
