Question 1

What types of safety scenarios can Visionify detect?

Accepted Answer

Visionify supports 50+ AI-powered detections including PPE compliance (helmets, vests, goggles, gloves), forklift safety, smoke and fire detection, slip and fall prevention, spills and leaks, restricted zone monitoring, mobile phone compliance, occupancy tracking, staircase safety, and more. Each detection is purpose-built for industrial environments and continuously refined with real-world data.

Question 2

How accurate is the AI detection? What about false positives?

Accepted Answer

Visionify achieves 90%+ accuracy across scenarios after the initial calibration period. We minimize false positives through our Human-in-the-Loop review process, where our safety team validates detections and continuously fine-tunes models to your specific facility, PPE policies, and workflows. All events are 100% reviewed by agentic AI, ensuring only actionable events are provided to customers.

Question 3

Can Visionify detect multiple PPE violations simultaneously?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Visionify can detect multiple PPE items in a single frame, including helmets, safety vests, goggles, gloves, boots, masks, earmuffs, coveralls, hairnets, aprons, face shields, and harnesses. You configure which PPE requirements apply to each zone, and the system flags any missing items in real time.

Question 4

How does forklift safety monitoring work?

Accepted Answer

Visionify monitors forklift operations across several dimensions: speed limit compliance, pedestrian proximity alerts (near-miss detection), operation zone enforcement, and seatbelt compliance. The system generates real-time alerts when unsafe conditions are detected, such as a forklift entering a pedestrian zone or exceeding speed limits.

Question 5

Can Visionify detect smoke and fire before traditional sensors?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Visionify's AI-powered smoke and fire detection uses visual analysis to identify smoke plumes and flames within seconds, often before heat or particle-based sensors activate. This is especially valuable in large open spaces like warehouses and manufacturing floors where traditional detectors have coverage gaps.

Question 6

What is the Human-in-the-Loop review process?

Accepted Answer

Every safety event detected by our AI goes through a review layer where trained safety analysts validate the detection, filter out false positives, and add context. This ensures your team only receives high-quality, actionable alerts. The review feedback is also used to continuously improve detection accuracy for your specific environment.

Question 7

How fast can we go live?

Accepted Answer

Most single-site deployments go live in less than a week. We connect to your existing cameras via RTSP, so there is no new cabling and no camera replacements. The edge server sits on your network and processes everything locally. IT involvement is minimal: a network port, a power outlet, and camera access credentials. Multi-site rollouts typically complete within 2-4 weeks.

Question 8

Do we need to replace our existing cameras?

Accepted Answer

No. Visionify works with your existing CCTV infrastructure. We support standard IP cameras using RTSP/ONVIF protocols and handle the connection during setup. Most industrial IP cameras manufactured in the last 10 years are compatible.

Question 9

What hardware is required?

Accepted Answer

Visionify runs on an Edge AI Server deployed on-premise at your facility. The server includes an NVIDIA GPU for real-time AI processing. We offer pre-configured Dell servers with NVIDIA GPUs. One server supports up to 20 cameras (Core Package) or 30 cameras (Everything Package).

Question 10

What does IT need to do for deployment?

Accepted Answer

IT involvement is minimal. You need: (1) a network port with access to camera RTSP streams, (2) a standard power outlet, and (3) camera access credentials. The edge server processes everything locally, so there is no cloud dependency for real-time operations. Our team handles the installation, configuration, and calibration.

Question 11

Can Visionify work across multiple sites?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Each site gets its own Edge AI Server for local processing, and all sites connect to a centralized cloud dashboard for enterprise-wide visibility. Multi-site rollouts typically complete within 2-4 weeks. You get cross-site analytics, benchmarking, and standardized safety reporting from a single pane of glass.

Question 12

What is the implementation package?

Accepted Answer

The implementation package includes 80 hours of onboarding and support covering camera onboarding, AI scenario configuration, camera optimization, model fine-tuning for 90%+ accuracy, real-time alerts setup (Email, Teams, WhatsApp, Mobile), speaker integration, and custom reporting. This ensures you get maximum value from day one.

Question 13

Is this a surveillance system? Will it track individual employees?

Accepted Answer

No. Visionify is a safety tool, not a surveillance system. We provide zone-level and event-level reporting, not individual employee tracking. All analysis focuses on safety compliance, not employee performance monitoring. The system detects safety events (missing PPE, near-misses, hazards), not who specifically caused them.

Question 14

Where is video data processed and stored?

Accepted Answer

All video processing happens on-premise on your Edge AI Server. Raw camera footage never leaves your facility. Only safety event metadata, anonymized snapshots, and aggregated analytics are sent to the cloud dashboard. You have full control over data retention policies.

Question 15

Does Visionify support face blurring?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Visionify supports automatic face blurring in all captured event images and video clips. This is enabled by default and can be configured per camera or zone. Face blurring ensures compliance with privacy regulations while still providing the visual evidence needed for safety coaching.

Question 16

How does this work with unionized workforces?

Accepted Answer

We have been deployed successfully in unionized manufacturing environments. The key framing: this is a tool that protects workers, not monitors them. We provide union-ready documentation, support automatic face blurring, configurable data retention, and zone-level (not person-level) reporting. Most union concerns are resolved during the pilot phase when workers see the system catching genuine hazards.

Question 17

What compliance certifications does Visionify hold?

Accepted Answer

Visionify maintains SOC 2 Type II compliance, follows GDPR data handling practices, and aligns with OSHA reporting requirements. Our on-premise processing model inherently reduces data privacy risk since raw video never leaves your network. We support enterprise security reviews and can provide detailed architecture documentation.

Question 18

Can we control data retention and access?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You have full control over data retention periods, user access controls, and what data is shared. Role-based access ensures only authorized personnel can view safety events. Audit logs track all system access. Data can be automatically purged after your configured retention period.

Question 19

How does Visionify pricing work?

Accepted Answer

You pay once for the Edge AI Server hardware, plus an annual subscription per camera. Subscription price is based on camera count and your chosen package. We offer transparent pricing with no hidden fees.

Question 20

What is the difference between Core and Everything packages?

Accepted Answer

Core includes 3 essential scenarios (PPE Compliance, Forklift Safety, Area Controls) and supports up to 20 cameras per server. Everything unlocks all 50+ AI-powered detections for complete facility coverage and supports up to 30 cameras per server. You can upgrade from Core to Everything at any time.

Question 21

How do you justify the cost to leadership?

Accepted Answer

A single recordable injury costs $38,000-$150,000 in direct costs alone, before factoring in lost productivity, OSHA penalties, and insurance premium increases. Visionify customers typically see full ROI within 3-6 months through reduced incidents, lower workers' comp costs, and audit time savings. We provide a data-backed ROI model during evaluation so you can present a clear business case.

Question 22

What ROI can we expect?

Accepted Answer

Customers typically see ROI within 3-6 months. Key savings come from reduced recordable incidents (each costing $38K-$150K+), lower insurance premiums through improved EMR, reduced OSHA audit preparation time, fewer near-miss escalations, and data-driven safety improvements. One customer discovered 4,658 previously invisible safety events in just six weeks.

Question 23

Is there a long-term contract?

Accepted Answer

We offer annual contracts. The hardware purchase is a one-time investment that you own. The annual software subscription covers AI processing, Human-in-the-Loop review, platform updates, and support. Contact our sales team to discuss custom arrangements.

Question 24

Can we start with a pilot before full deployment?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Most customers start with a focused pilot covering 5-10 cameras in a high-priority area. This lets you validate detection accuracy, measure initial safety impact, and build the business case for broader rollout. Pilots typically run 4-8 weeks.

Question 25

What happens after deployment? Do we just get a dashboard?

Accepted Answer

The dashboard is the starting point, not the end. Every safety event is logged with timestamped video evidence, so your team can coach with specifics, not generalities. You get severity-tiered alerts, trend reporting across shifts and zones, and exportable data for OSHA audits and insurance reviews. Customers use this data to justify facility changes, run targeted safety campaigns, and measure whether interventions are actually working.

Question 26

How do real-time alerts work?

Accepted Answer

When a safety event is detected and validated, alerts are sent through your configured channels: email, Microsoft Teams, WhatsApp, mobile push notifications, or on-site speakers. Alerts are severity-tiered so critical events (like a person-down or fire detection) get immediate attention while lower-severity events are batched into shift reports.

Question 27

Can Visionify integrate with our existing safety systems?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Visionify integrates with common enterprise systems including Microsoft Teams, Slack, email platforms, and industrial control systems. Our PLC Hard Stop integration can trigger automatic machine shutdown for critical safety events. We also support webhook integrations and API access for custom workflows.

Question 28

What is the Gennie AI assistant?

Accepted Answer

Gennie is Visionify's AI-powered safety assistant that lets you query your safety data using natural language. Ask questions like 'Show me all PPE violations in Zone A this week' or 'What are the most common near-misses on the night shift?' Gennie provides instant answers with supporting video evidence and trend analysis.

Question 29

What is the PLC Hard Stop feature?

Accepted Answer

PLC Hard Stop is an integration that connects Visionify's AI detection to your industrial control systems (PLCs). When a critical safety event is detected, such as a person entering a danger zone near heavy machinery, the system can automatically trigger a machine shutdown. This provides an additional layer of protection beyond alerts.

Question 30

How does the Desktop App work?

Accepted Answer

The Visionify Desktop App provides a lightweight, local interface for viewing live camera feeds with AI overlays, reviewing recent safety events, and managing camera configurations. It runs on standard Windows workstations and connects directly to your on-premise Edge AI Server.

Question 31

We have tried AI safety tools before and they did not work. What is different?

Accepted Answer

Most AI camera tools fail because they generate too many false positives and no one trusts the alerts. Visionify solves this with a Human-in-the-Loop review layer. Our safety team validates detections and continuously calibrates models to your specific facility, PPE policies, and workflows. Accuracy improves every week. All events are 100% reviewed by agentic AI, ensuring only actionable events reach your team and the data is trusted enough to drive real infrastructure changes on the plant floor.

Question 32

What ongoing support is included?

Accepted Answer

Your subscription includes continuous model improvement (AI gets smarter over time for your facility), Human-in-the-Loop event review, platform updates with new features and scenarios, technical support, and access to our customer success team for quarterly business reviews.

Question 33

How does the AI improve over time?

Accepted Answer

Visionify uses a continuous improvement loop. Human-reviewed events feed back into model training, improving accuracy for your specific environment. As your facility changes (new equipment, new PPE requirements, seasonal variations), the system adapts. Most customers see measurable accuracy improvements within the first 30 days.

Question 34

Can we add more cameras or scenarios later?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can add cameras at any time. If your existing Edge AI Server has capacity, new cameras can be onboarded within hours. If you need additional server capacity, we ship pre-configured hardware. Upgrading from Core to Everything Package to access more scenarios is also straightforward with prorated pricing.

Question 35

How do we use the data for OSHA compliance and audits?

Accepted Answer

Visionify provides exportable reports designed for regulatory compliance. Every safety event includes timestamped video evidence, location data, and severity classification. You can generate OSHA-format reports, track incident trends over time, and demonstrate proactive safety measures during audits. Customers report saving 20+ hours per audit cycle.

Question 36

What happens if the Edge AI Server goes down?

Accepted Answer

If the server experiences downtime, cameras continue recording through your existing NVR/VMS. Once the server is back online, it resumes processing automatically. For mission-critical deployments, we offer redundant server configurations. Our support team monitors server health and proactively addresses issues.
